WEST VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/21/10 -- Columbia Yukon Explorations Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Columbia Yukon') (TSX VENTURE: CYU)(FRANKFURT: VOR) is pleased to report that it has commenced a drilling program for its 'Storie' Property molybdenum deposit located near Cassiar, British Columbia.
A road rehabilitation, exploration and trenching program is now underway on the south slope of the known deposit to determine whether the recent discoveries of outcrops containing high grade molybdenum (as referred to in the Company's news release dated December 2, 2009) warrant further exploration. The second objective of the current exploration program is to core drill to test the northern boundaries of the known deposit to determine whether molybdenum mineralization extends beyond that point.
