VANCOUVER, March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Robert L. Hodgkinson,
Chairman & CEO, is pleased to announce the commencement of the
drilling program and other updates on the Company's 100% owned
uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin, Northern
Saskatchewan Canada. The Company reports that the winter
exploration program in the Basin is on schedule. The Company is the
Operator. Hy-Tech Drilling of Smithers, BC has mobilized their
drill to the site. Hy-Tech is contracted to carry out 5000 metres
of drilling scheduled to begin by April 1st, 2006. The drill holes
will test targets defined by Dejour's airborne and ground
geophysical work carried out in 2005 and 2006, and will test
anomalous radioactivity and sandstone alteration intersected in
drilling by previous operators. Fuel for the helicopter supported
drilling program has been hauled to the Dejour camp site.
Sufficient aviation fuel and diesel has also been brought in and
stored on site to carry out additional drilling and ground
geophysics during Dejour's summer exploration program. Geophysical
surveying is currently being conducted by crews from Patterson
Geophysics Inc. of La Ronge, Saskatchewan who have worked in the
Athabasca Basin for over 20 years. The Patterson crews are testing
selected portions of the 250 line kilometers of EM conductors
detected by Dejour's 2005 airborne surveys. This ground work is
scheduled for completion by month end. Field data is available on a
daily basis and is checked and interpreted by Dejour's geophysical
consultant in Vancouver. The results from these geophysical surveys
will guide the winter drill program. Dejour is also planning an
aggressive summer exploration program consisting of: - Ground
geophysics to follow up airborne EM anomalies, - 3000+ kilometres
of airborne EM surveying to test properties not surveyed in 2005
and to test and extend the anomalies on ground that Dejour staked
in 2005 as a result of the 2005 deep penetrating Megatem surveys, -
Boulder lithogeochemical surveys to follow up on anomalous results
from the 2005 sampling program - State of the art deep penetrating
ground geophysics to test the prospective but deep Virgin Trend
North property, and - Additional diamond drilling As previously
noted Dejour has hauled to and stored on site sufficient avgas and
diesel to carry out this exploration program. J. Allan McNutt, P.
Geo., M.A. Sc., is the qualified person for Dejour's uranium
projects. About Dejour Dejour Enterprises Ltd. is a micro-cap
