JNR Discovers New Mineralized Zones on Way Lake Uranium Project

JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce initial results from its 2008 exploration program, including the discovery of widespread outcrops of uranium mineralization on its 100% owned Way Lake uranium project. The project lands are located 55 kilometres east of the Key Lake uranium mine in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan and comprise 17 contiguous claims totalling 71,795 hectares.

The 2008 helicopter-supported program consisted of diamond drilling and prospecting. A total of 48 holes comprising 11,985 metres were drilled on a variety of targets including the previously discovered EWA, West Way, Nob Hill, and Hook Lake showings, the Walker Lake conductive trend and a broad zone of newly discovered surface mineralization in the Fraser Lakes area.

Western Uranium Announces Significant Gold Intercepts in Preliminary Results From the Regional Drill Program at Kings Valley, Nevada

Western Uranium Corporation (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: WUC.V) is pleased to announce preliminary results from the 2008 drilling program at Kings Valley, Nevada. The drill program was focused on a number of uranium targets identified from previous geophysical and geochemical surveys in the Bull Basin and Old Man Springs areas. Preliminary results to date have outlined zones of anomalous radioactivity occurring near the contact between the overlying altered sediments and the underlying volcanic units similar to the style of uranium mineralization in the nearby Aurora deposit. Of particular interest is drill hole AB-04 at the northern end of the target area that intercepted 12 grams of gold over 1.5 metres from 103.7 m to 105.2 m. In addition the hole intercepted another interval 41 metres in width from 154.0 m to 195.1 m that averaged 0.66 grams. This interval included, 1.03 grams over 1.5 metres from 155.5 m to 157.0 m, and 1.94 grams over 7.62 metres from 170.7 m to 178.3 m.

Uranium One to Place Dominion Operations on Care and Maintenance

Uranium One Inc. ("Uranium One") today announced that its board of directors has decided to place the Dominion Uranium Project on care and maintenance.

The decision to place Dominion on care and maintenance reflects the significant deterioration in the Project's economics associated with the continuing decline in uranium prices over the last year and significant inflation-related increases in Project costs, together with a slower than expected ramp-up in development and production.

The decision follows the completion of the Company's detailed life of mine planning process and budget for the Project, which has shown that the Project would require a sustained recovery in uranium prices, as well as significant additional capital investment, in order to become economically viable.
