Edmonton, Alberta (September 23, 2009) - Athabasca Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "Athabasca" - TSX Venture: ABM) has announced the initiation of a National Instrument 43-101 technical report for the Washington State, USA aggregate project. This required document will assist Athabasca in defining the sand and gravel resource within the project area and allow the Company to proceed with the proposed 25% minority interest in T-ROC (Thorndyke Resource), a private limited liability company based in Poulsbo, Washington.
Thorndyke Resource is the entity formed to permit and develop this marine-based Washington state aggregate supply. When fully permitted, the proposed project is expected to transport sand and gravel from a 525-acre approved deposit through a newly constructed conveyor and pier, where barges and ships could supply regional and interstate markets.
