Bayswater Identifies Significant New Uranium Trend at Boiteau Lake Central Mineral Belt of Labrador
November 20 2008 - 11:30AM
Marketwired
Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V: BAY) (PINKSHEETS: BYSWF) is
pleased to report on the discovery of a 5 km long, new
uranium-bearing mineralized trend located approximately one
kilometer northwest of Boiteau Lake in the Company's 100% owned CMB
Uranium Property of Labrador. The mineralization was discovered
late in the 2008 field season and final results have just been
received. Four new bedrock uranium showings have been discovered
along a five kilometer structural corridor as interpreted from
airborne magnetics, landsat imagery, air photo interpretation and
ground investigation. This structural feature can be traced across
the Company's property for some 12 kilometers and only limited work
along this trend has been performed to date. Results from the
initial prospecting program in the area have been very encouraging.
Based on 28 rock samples collected, 23 samples returned values
greater that 0.10% U3O8 with the best sample from outcrop assaying
0.723% U3O8. The following table provides a list of significant
results from sampling performed along the trend.

The Northwest Boiteau Lake uranium showings are hosted within
mid-paleoproterozoic rock units containing a variety of lithologies
including mafic volcanics, sandstones, conglomerates, chert,
argillites, schist, gneiss and pegmatites. The belt of supracrustal
rocks are believed to be equivalents to the Moran Lake and Lower
Aillik Groups that extend to the southwest of the property onto
ground held by Crosshair Exploration and Mining Corp. (TSX-V: CXX).
Uranium mineralization in all showings either occurs in carbonate
altered shears and veinlets or in fractured and gossanous
metapelitic sediments dominantly hosted within the mafic volcanic
units. The full extent of these showings has yet to be
determined.
One additional showing located near the southern portion of
Boiteau Lake has also been identified. This showing is hosted
within the late paleoproterozoic Bruce River Belt of sediments.
Limited sampling of conglomeratic units in outcrop assayed up to
0.786% U3O8.
The Company also reports that it is still waiting for final
assay results from its Anna Lake and Minisinakwa drill programs,
which are expected shortly and will be released accordingly.
The Company's exploration activities are conducted under the
supervision of George M. Leary, M.Sc. P. Eng. (BC), President of
the Company, and Victor Tanaka, B.Sc. P.Geo. (B.C.), Chief
Operating Officer of the Company. Both are qualified persons under
NI 43-101. George Leary is the qualified person responsible for the

About the Labrador Central Mineral Belt
The Central Mineral Belt of Labrador, Canada, located
approximately 135 kilometers north of Goose Bay, has a long history
of uranium and base metals exploration. Uranium was first
discovered in the belt in the 1950s. With further exploration in
the 1960s and 1970s and rising uranium prices, exploration in the
region increased significantly and several uranium deposits were
discovered including the Kitts, Michelin, Inda, Nash, Rainbow and
Moran Lake deposits by Brinco. Today, exploration activity in the
region is highlighted by resource drilling at the Michelin and
Jacques Lake deposits by Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (TSX: AXU);
at the Moran Lake deposit by Crosshair Exploration & Mining
Corp. and at the Two-Time Zone by Silver Spruce Resources Inc.
(TSX-V: SSE). Collectively, over 145 million pounds of NI 43-101
compliant uranium resources have been reported in the Central
Mineral Belt by Aurora, Crosshair and Silver Spruce, a figure that
is expected to increase significantly in the coming years through
increases to existing resources, as well as new uranium
discoveries. Bayswater Uranium is the largest landholder in the
Central Mineral Belt with interests in 2,376 sq km of strategic
landholdings; Aurora controls about 900 sq km and Crosshair
approximately 700 sq km. Bayswater is exploring several uranium
targets within its landholdings with the objective of establishing
a NI 43-101 compliant resource at its Anna Lake discovery and in
making additional uranium deposit discoveries.
