SASKATOON, May 11, 2012 - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV: JNN) ('JNR' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has commenced a minimum 1,000-metre spring diamond drilling program on the Company's 100% owned Black Lake uranium project, located in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan.

The Black Lake project is located along the north rim of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 20 kilometres southeast of the town of Stony Rapids and along the all-weather road to that community.
