Lakeland Resources Inc. announced drilling has begun at its Star/Gibbons Creek properties where a minimum 1,500 metre Phase I diamond drilling program will take place. The property is located along the north central edge of the Athabasca Basin in Northern Saskatchewan, near the community of Stony Rapids. Exploration by the Company in 2013 and 2014 confirmed the exploration potential of the Star and Gibbons Creek Properties.

The key objectives of the program are: Follow up historic drill holes including GC-15 (0.18% U3O8 over 13 cm), and along strike of a prominent east-west resistivity low. Multiple holes in the area encountered anomalous uranium and nickel (over 200 ppm uranium at the unconformity) and extensive basement alteration. Investigate the resistivity low anomaly and magnetic contact up-ice from the radioactive boulder-field.

Investigate structural and geological setting of gold mineralization (multiple surface samples from 1 to 5.7 g/t Au) at the Star Property.
