VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 22, 2017) - Senator Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SNR)(OTC PINK:SNRAF)(FRANKFURT:T1KA) ("Senator" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has set the preliminary date for its Phase 1 exploration of the PNE Uranium Project, located in the western region of Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, for July 15, 2017. The high-resolution ground gravity program will be used to examine and map the areas in and around the interpreted subsurface conductive anomaly, identified in 2013 by a 5.7-line-kilometre DC resistivity survey performed by Patterson Geophysics.

The survey grid is to consist of up 28 line kilometres, with an effective investigation depth of up to 600m. The survey results will be incorporated into the current exploration database, which includes DC resistivity and airborne magnetics, in order to define Phase 2 drill targets.

The PNE project covers approximately 531 hectares, directly adjoining the easternmost boundary of Fission 3.0's Patterson Lake North (PLN) project. The PNE project is located approximately 163 kilometres north of the town of La Loche, and approximately 48 kilometres south of the decommissioned Cluff Lake mine site. The project is accessible by ground vehicle from La Ronge via Saskatchewan highways 2, 155, 165 and 955.

Senator Minerals is a junior mineral explorer focused on uranium exploration in northern Saskatchewan. Senator has entered into an agreement with an arm's-length vendor to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Patterson North East (PNE) uranium project, located on the east side of the Athabasca basin in Northern Saskatchewan, the most productive uranium-producing region in the world.
