The property was acquired through the US$22,000 purchase of Dehroy Financial Advisory LLC , a Mongolian company that holds the exploration licence for the prospect.

“Previous Russian explorers had developed several small mining pits in this area and bulk samples were sent to Russia for analysis,” said Blair Krueger, president of Garrison, a company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.

“While this data is not currently available, the sites do provide guidance as to the presence of uranium bearing horizons.”

In trading on the TSX Venture Exchange, Garrison shares fell half a cent to four cents, a drop of 11 per cent.
