JNR COMMENCES 2011 SUMMER DRILLING PROGRAM AT SNOWBIRD URANIUM PROJECT

JNR Resources Inc. has commenced a minimum 1,000-metre summer diamond drilling program on the company's 100-per-cent-owned Snowbird uranium project, located in the Athabasca basin of Northern Saskatchewan.

The Snowbird property straddles the southern edge of the Athabasca basin directly along the footwall of the Snowbird tectonic zone, a major transcrustal structural feature that includes the southwest strike extension of the Virgin River shear zone, which hosts Cameco's Centennial deposit.

The company has identified well-defined drill targets at shallow depths that are lithostructurally similar/related to those of the Centennial deposit (Cameco Corp./Formation Metals Inc.), located approximately 20 kilometres northeast and on strike of the property. At Centennial, a 650-metre-long mineralized zone with drill intersections of up to 8.78 per cent U3O8 over 33.9 metres has been outlined at approximately 800 metres depth (Formation Metals news release May 30, 2011).

Management strongly believes the Snowbird district has the potential to host a significant uranium deposit. The substantial uranium and metal endowment in the Snowbird district, lack of sandstone cover and shallow depth to mineralization allows for efficient and timely exploration of these targets.

JNR's director of exploration, Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, PGeo, is the qualified person responsible for the technical data presented in this release. A glossary of the technical terms included in this release can be found on the company's website.
