Wealth Minerals Commences 10,000 metre drilling campaign on its Diamante-Los Patos Uranium Property, Northwest Argentina

Vancouver, British Columbia…  Wealth Minerals Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wealth”) - (TSX Venture Exchange: WML, OTC: WMLLF, Frankfurt: EJZ), is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on the Company’s 100% owned Diamante-Los Patos property located in northwestern Argentina.  The drill program is designed to provide an initial drill test for the presence of a large bulk tonnage uranium deposit within this newly identified, frontier, uranium district.

Exploration to date indicates that the very large (over 1,500 square kilometre) property is prospective for both surface to near-surface bulk tonnage uranium mineralization and potentially higher-grade ‘feeder–zone’ mineralization such as that discovered on the Bingo Zone.

Exploration has now identified seven large mineralized zones over a 20 kilometre by 30 kilometre area (Figure 1).  Results are interpreted to reflect the surface expressions or leakage from a very large, structurally controlled, volcanic-hosted system focused on the flanks of the Cerro Galan Caldera Complex (CGCC).

Beginning with the Bingo Zone, where trenching intersected12.0 metres averaging 0.332% uranium (7.84 lbs/ton U₃O₈) within a wider interval that averaged 0.150% uranium (3.53 lbs/ton U₃O₈) over 30.0 metres (see NR07-08, June 27, 2007), the exploration program has been designed to rapidly test the major zones of surficial uranium mineralization in order to prioritize the systematic testing of the large zones.

The Diamante-Los Patos Property

The Diamante-Los Patos property is situated on the flanks of the CGCC which, at 60 kilometres in diameter, is believed to be the second largest caldera in the world.  

Mineral endowment calculations of similar felsic volcanic deposits demonstrate that they are ideal uranium sources capable of producing very significant volumes of uranium mineralization. Global examples include the Macusani District, Peru, the McDermitt Caldera, USA and the Streltsovka District, Russia (where reserves and past-production is quoted at 560 million lbs/t U₃O₈ in 20 deposits).
