Trench Metals Corp. announced that the Company has applied for the requisite exploration permits for the upcoming radiometric prospecting and drilling program at the Higginson Lake Uranium Project. Permit approval is expected in the near term.

Exploration activity is to be concentrated on historic uranium showings and mineralized zones with the intention of confirming both grade and extent. In addition, the Company has also identified several new zones on interest, which appear to be related to the historic zones and many could expand the overall dimensions of the Higginson system. The Company anticipates initiating the work program once it receives the permit and will provide updates on the timing as they become available.
