May 30th, 2013, VANCOUVER, B.C. – ASHBURTON VENTURES INC. (TSX-V: ABR) (ARB-FRANKFURT)  (“Ashburton” or the "Company”) announces work programs for its uranium prospects, the Sienna North and West projects, set to commence in the coming weeks in the Athabasca Basin. First phase plans for both Athabasca Basin Uranium exploration Projects include conducting a property wide reconnaissance and exploration program comprised of grid based (cut and surveyed grid lines/stations) geophysical (scintillometer) surveys, soil sampling, springs sampling (radon), and float prospecting (U3O8).  The Phase I exploration program will allow Ashburton to assess current property conditions (access potential, swamp/muskeg, and lithological exposure) as well as conduct uranium exploration activities which will culminate in the planning and outlaying of a follow-up Phase II exploration program as well as the commencement of permit applications towards diamond drill testing of each of the Sienna North and West Projects. 

A number of historic regional airborne surveys are available in the public domain for the property areas and on a more detailed level, a bid is currently out with Aeroquest for Sienna North/West Property based airborne surveys (in conjunction with a larger survey of other contiguous property holders). Airborne anomalies located from review of such surveys will be considered high-priority targets for the Phase II program.
