UEX/AREVA 2009 Drill Program Underway at Shea Creek with Three Drills

     Trading Symbol: UEX-TSX

     VANCOUVER, Feb. 25 /CNW/ - UEX Corporation ("UEX") announced today that
AREVA Resources Canada Inc. ("AREVA"), its joint venture partner, has
commenced the 2009 drilling program at the Shea Creek Uranium Project ("Shea
Creek"), which is located in the western Athabasca Basin of northern
Saskatchewan, Canada. Shea Creek hosts the Kianna, Anne, and Colette deposits
and is one of the ten 49%-owned Western Athabasca Uranium Projects
joint-ventured with AREVA, the operator.
     The planned budgets for 2009 at Shea Creek include $8.25 million for
exploration and $2.0 million for development. Expenditures under the joint
venture are funded 49% by UEX and 51% by AREVA.
     UEX also reports that the 25,000 metre winter 2009 drilling program,
budgeted at $5.5 million, has been underway since early January with three
drills on its 100%-owned Hidden Bay Uranium Project ("Hidden Bay"), which is
located in the eastern Athabasca Basin area of northern Saskatchewan. Hidden
Bay hosts the Horseshoe, Raven, and West Bear deposits.

     2009 Drilling and Exploration Program at Shea Creek

     The 2009 Diamond drilling program at Shea Creek began in early February
with three Diamond drills. The principal objectives of the drilling program
are as follows:

     -   To perform infill drilling on the Kianna and Anne deposits at
         approximately 20-metre centres;
     -   To extend known mineralization of the two deposits through step-out
         drilling; and
     -   To further test the prospective corridor between the Anne and Kianna
         deposits.

     2009 Development Work at Shea Creek

     In 2009, the Shea Creek Project will continue its transition from an
exclusive exploration program to include initial development work. A budget of
$2 million has been approved for 2009 studies supporting future development
work. In addition, baseline data collection and site characterization will
continue in 2009 in support of a future Environmental Impact Statement.

     2009 Drilling and Exploration Program at Hidden Bay

     The winter 2009 drilling program on the Hidden Bay property began in
early January with three Diamond drills. To date, 53 holes totaling
approximately 16,500 metres have been completed. One drill is finishing
definition drilling of the Horseshoe Northeast mineralization, and two drills
are currently testing extensions of the southwestern end of the Raven Deposit,
where additional historical drilling intersections also lie outside of the
current Raven Deposit mineral resource. In addition to defining extensions of
mineralization in the Horseshoe Northeast and Raven West areas, this program
is testing the following:

     -   Currently open extensions of the eastern part of the Raven Deposit;
     -   The area between the Raven and Horseshoe deposits where
         mineralization was historically intersected;
     -   The down dip extent of the alteration zones that host the Raven and
         Horseshoe deposits; and
     -   Additional outlying exploration targets where clay alteration
         intersected by historical drilling is coincident with resistivity and
         gravity anomalies that are comparable with the setting of known
         mineralization.

     About UEX

     UEX is a Canadian uranium exploration and development company actively
involved in 19 uranium projects, including seven that are 100%-owned and
operated by UEX, one joint venture with AREVA that is operated by UEX, ten
joint-ventured with AREVA and one under option from Japan-Canada Uranium
Company, Limited, which are operated by AREVA. The 19 projects, totaling
374,513 hectares (925,442 acres), are located in the eastern, western and
northern perimeters of the Athabasca Basin, the world's richest uranium belt,
which accounts for approximately 23% of the global primary uranium production.
UEX is currently developing several uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin
which include the Kianna, Anne and Colette Deposits at its Shea Creek Project,
a joint venture with AREVA in the western Athabasca Basin, and the West Bear,
Raven and Horseshoe Deposits located at its 100% owned Hidden Bay Project in
the eastern Athabasca Basin. UEX's exploration and development budgets for the
winter of 2009 are estimated at approximately $16.5 million, of which UEX will
be responsible for approximately $10.9 million.
