Basin Uranium Corp. announced the acquisition of an additional 640 acres contiguous to its Chord Uranium Project in South Dakota, which now stands at 3,677 acres of contiguous landholdings located approximately 5.5 miles southwest of encore Energy Corp.'s (EU-NYSEAM) Dewey-Burdock development project. The recently acquired claims adjoin the October Jinx mineralized zone to the south, where historical drilling and resource modelling terminated at the property boundary, and is highly prospective for extending uranium mineralization to the south.

The additional 640 acres are located on Fall River County Section 36-7S-2E and were acquired via way of Mineral Rights Lease Auction with notice published on September 28, October 5, and October 12 in the Fall River County Herald Star.
