Vancouver, Canada, March 2, 2006: ESO Uranium Corp. (ESO:TSX-V) ("the Company" or "ESO") announces that diamond drilling is under way on the Cluff project, a 50/50 joint venture with Logan Resources Ltd., in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. A camp has been established, crew and equipment mobilized and drilling has commenced.
The primary objective of the current drill program is to test the Gorilla Lake zone where drilling by a past operator returned an intersection grading 0.85% U3O8 over 2.3 meters. A total of 5,000 meters of drilling has been budgeted for this phase of work. The Cluff project covers more than 169,000 acres, surrounds the past producing Cluff Lake Mine and is immediately north of the Shea Creek project of UEX/Cogema.
