JNR Extends Areas of Uranium Mineralization at Way Lake

Saskatoon, SK, July 21, 2011 - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) ('JNR' or the 'Company') is pleased to report geoanalytical results from the 2011 winter diamond drilling program on the Company's 100% owned Way Lake uranium project, located 55 kilometres east of the Key Lake uranium mine in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. Drilling has extended the Fraser Lakes Zone B to the east-northeast, and anomalous U-Th mineralization has been intersected in a new area, Fraser Lakes North.

The 2011 drilling program comprised 2,590 metres in 10 holes. Four holes tested the east-northeast extension of the Fraser Lakes Zone B. Six holes tested ancillary structural/mineralized targets related to the Fraser Lakes Zone B; located within previously untested portions of a folded, 65-km long electromagnetic (EM) graphite-sulfide-rich conductor system. Six of the 10 drill holes intersected anomalous radioactivity accompanied by significantly disrupted and locally clay-altered Wollaston Group graphitic pelitic gneisses and uraniferous granitic pegmatites.

Multiple intervals of uranium and/or thorium (U-Th) mineralization were intersected in four new holes (WYL-11-68, -69, -70, and -71; Table 1) that tested Fraser Lakes Zone B on its east-northeast end. The better U-Th intersections occur in drill holes WYL-11-68, -70 and -71, and are accompanied by highly anomalous concentrations of base metals and rare earth element (REE) enrichment. At a cut-off grade of 0.025% U3O8, the results from WYL-11-68 and -70 are impressive. To date, drilling of this zone has identified an extensive area approximately 1,250 metres long by 650 metres wide of moderately dipping, multiple stacked uranium and thorium mineralized horizons, which are open to the southwest and east-northeast to a depth of at least 175 metres.

Anomalous radioactivity was intersected within a new area, Fraser Lakes North, located 5 kilometres northeast of Fraser Lakes Zone B. Drill holes WYL-11-73 and -74 (Table 1) report low-grade, basement-hosted U-Th mineralization in graphitic pelitic gneisses and granitic pegmatites. These holes also exhibit evidence for major structural reactivation, significant clay alteration, uranium remobilization, and basinal brine fluid circulation.

The exceptional exploration potential of the Fraser Lakes area is further supported by geoanalytical results from PIMA infrared spectroscopy of four holes drilled in the T-Bone Lake area (News Release: June 17, 2010), located 4 kilometres west-southwest of Fraser Lakes North and due north of Fraser Lakes Zone B. These results indicate a preponderance of the important pathfinder mineral, illite, within a major clay-filled fault system that was intersected in 2010.

Dave Billard, Vice-President Exploration and COO for JNR, comments: "These results confirm that the Fraser Lakes district has significant exploration upside, with many targets having the potential to host high-grade uranium mineralization. Geological and geochemical features identified in the Fraser Lakes district show distinct similarities to high-grade, basement-hosted discoveries in the Athabasca basin, such as Cameco's Millennium and Hathor's Roughrider deposits".

Results from the 2011 drilling program continue to demonstrate the significant uranium and metal endowment within the Fraser Lakes district, and will be integrated within on-going exploration models to plan and facilitate JNR's next phase of drilling new targets.
