VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 27, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. ("Abaddon") and Triex Minerals Corporation (TSX-V:TXM) ("Triex") are pleased to announce they have entered into an Option Agreement under which Triex has the right to acquire a 70% interest in Abaddon's Mann Lake uranium property.
The Mann Lake property is located in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan and is approximately 30 km southwest of the McArthur River Mine, the largest high-grade uranium deposit in the world. This property is approximately 20 km to the northeast of Cameco Corporation's recently discovered Millennium Deposit, and occurs at the northern extent of the B1 conductor that is spatially associated with the Millennium Deposit.

Triex can earn an initial 51% interest in the property by incurring $1,500,000 of exploration expenditures on or before March 20, 2007. The Company can increase its interest to 60% by incurring a cumulative $2,500,000 of expenditures on or before March 20, 2008, and can further increase its interest to 70% by spending a cumulative $3,500,000 on or before March 20, 2009.
Initially, Triex will undertake a detailed ground geophysical survey by April 30, 2006 to fully delineate drill targets. A 5,000 m follow-up diamond drill program is planned, and will be completed immediately following geophysics in the 2006/2007 winter season.
Previous work on the property includes a time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) moving loop survey completed in 1999 that identified four target conductors. Abaddon completed a ground-based gravity survey in 2005 that highlights features at the northern discontinuity of the B1 conductor. Both surveys were completed on east-west lines, perpendicular to the B1 conductor. Follow-up gravity and TEM work will include infill surveys and orthogonal surveys conducted on north south oriented lines to facilitate the interpretation of features in the area of discontinuity of the conductor. Resistivity work will also be considered.
This transaction is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. is a Canadian uranium and gold exploration company actively involved with the development of uranium properties in the ATHABASCA BASIN of northern Saskatchewan and the SIMS BASIN of northwestern Labrador.
