Majescor acquires De Beers' interest in the Baker Lake property, Thelon Basin - Property hosts numerous untested historical uranium occurrences

Montreal, June 19, 2008 - Majescor Resources Inc. (MAJ: TSX-V) ("Majescor" or "the Company") announces that it acquired the remaining mineral rights from De Beers Canada Inc ("De Beers") for the Baker Lake property, located in the Thelon Basin area of Nunavut. Majescor now holds 100% of the mineral rights on the property. The Baker Lake property lies 30 km to the South of the Kiggavik group of uranium deposits held predominantly by Areva Resources Canada Inc. The property's geological setting is considered favorable to host Kiggavik-style uranium deposits associated with fault zones in off-basin basement rocks.

The Baker Lake property hosts 12 historical uranium showings in bedrock, ranging from grab sample assays as high as 14.07% U3O8 and chip sample sections of up to 0.13% U3O8 over 6.71 m:

  • FC-08 Occurrence: fractures within the Christopher Island Fm; grab samples from one fracture ranged from 4.4% U3O8 to 10.0 % U3O8
  • JB/79 Showing: fractures within the Christopher Island Fm. andesite; 0.13% U3O8 in chip sample over 6.71 m
  • JJ/78 Showing: fractures within the Christopher Island Fm. andesite; grab samples taken from the shear zones range between 0.352% U3O8 and 0.405% U3O8
  • WHO Occurrence: fractures within the Christopher Island Fm or Archean gneiss - Longspur Pluton contact aureole; 0.177 % U3O8 fracture within gneissic granite
  • Grizzly Occurrence: fractures within Archean gneisses; grab samples up to 14.07 % U3O8

Majescor is committed to moving the Baker Lake uranium project forward. To this effect, the Company has undertaken a comprehensive review and analysis of previous exploration results on the property. The Company has retained the services of consultant MB Geosolutions of Quebec-city to reprocess radiometric, magnetic and electromagnetic data from a proprietary 5,992 line-km airborne geophysical survey of selected parts of the property conducted in 2006, and to prioritize targets for ground follow-up. A preliminary analysis of the geophysical survey results carried out in 2007 had identified close to 400 discrete point-source uranium anomalies and linear uranium highs. A focused ground exploration program is in the planning stage for the fall of 2008. This program will aim to start investigating a number of both the "high priority" airborne geophysical targets outlined by MB Geosolutions, and of the numerous mineralized bedrock, boulder and soil geochemistry targets listed in a NI 43-101 compliant report completed on the uranium property in 2007.

The Baker Lake property comprises of 109 mineral claims staked for uranium as well as 23 mineral claims staked for diamonds, for a combined total surface area of 1,032 km2.

The terms of the Acquisition Agreement, which is subject to Board and regulatory approvals, stipulate that De Beers shall assign and transfer all mineral claims and mineral rights forming the Baker Lake property and property area of interest to Majescor, such that after the transfer, Majescor shall be the 100% owner of the mineral claims and mineral rights. In consideration for the acquisition of the mineral claims and mineral rights, Majescor will issue common shares to De Beers with an aggregate value of $50,000 within 30 days of the execution of the Acquisition Agreement. Prior to this Acquisition Agreement, Majescor held 80% of the uranium rights and was earning 50% of the rights for diamonds.

Majescor is a dedicated uranium explorer focusing on emerging uranium districts. In addition to the Baker Lake property, Majescor's project portfolio includes four uranium exploration projects in Quebec: South Rae and West Minto (under option from Azimut Exploration Inc.); Mistassini (100%-owned; under option to Strateco Resources inc); and Lac Laparre (100%-owned; under option to Santoy Resources Inc. and Otish Energy Inc.). All four Quebec projects will undergo systematic ground exploration in 2008 with the aim of testing high-priority geophysical, geochemical and/or prospecting targets outlined in 2007.

This press release was approved by Jacques Letendre, P.Geo, Director of Majescor, acting as the "Qualified Person" for the Company under National Instrument 43-101.

Majescor acquiert l'int�r�t de De Beers dans la propri�t� Baker Lake, bassin de Thelon au Nunavut - La propri�t� renferme plusieurs indices d'uranium historiques non v�rifi�s

Montr�al, le 19 juin 2008 - Ressources Majescor inc. (MAJ : TSX-V) (� Majescor � ou � la Soci�t� �) annonce l'acquisition des droits miniers r�siduels de De Beers Canada inc. (� De Beers �) dans la propri�t� Baker Lake, situ�e dans la r�gion du bassin de Thelon au Nunavut. Majescor d�tient maintenant 100% des droits miniers sur la propri�t�. La propri�t� Baker Lake se trouve � 30 km au sud du groupe de g�tes uranif�res Kiggavik d�tenu majoritairement par Areva Resources Canada inc. Le contexte g�ologique sur la propri�t� est consid�r� favorable pour les g�tes uranif�res de type Kiggavik, associ�s � des zones de failles dans le socle rocheux en marge d'un bassin.

La propri�t� Baker Lake renferme 12 indices d'uranium historiques en affleurement, avec des teneurs atteignant 14,07 % U3O8 en �chantillons ponctuels, et jusqu'� 0,13 % U3O8 sur 6,71 m en �chantillons en rainurage :

  • Indice FC-08 : fractures dans les roches de la Formation Christopher Island; des �chantillons choisis pr�lev�s d'une fracture pr�sentent des teneurs variant de 4,4 % U3O8 � 10,0 % U3O8.
  • Indice JB/79 : fractures dans les and�sites de la Formation Christopher Island; 0,13 % U3O8 sur 6,71 m dans des �chantillons en �clats.
  • Indice JJ/78 : fractures dans les and�sites de la Formation Christopher Island; des �chantillons choisis pr�lev�s le long de zones de cisaillement pr�sentent des teneurs entre 0,352 % U3O8 et 0,405 % U3O8.
  • Indice WHO : fractures dans les roches de la Formation Christopher Island ou dans les gneiss arch�ens dans l'aur�ole de contact du Pluton Longspur; 0,177 % U3O8 dans une fracture au sein d'un granite gneissique.
  • Indice Grizzly : fractures dans les gneiss arch�ens; des �chantillons choisis pr�sentent des teneurs atteignant 14,07 % U3O8.

Majescor est d�termin�e � faire progresser le projet d'uranium Baker Lake. � cet effet, la Soci�t� a entrepris une r�vision et une analyse d�taill�e des r�sultats des travaux ant�rieurs sur la propri�t�. La Soci�t� a mandat� la firme d'experts-conseils MB Geosolutions de Qu�bec, pour retraiter les donn�es radiom�triques, magn�tiques et �lectromagn�tiques provenant d'un lev� g�ophysique a�roport� r�alis� par Majescor sur des blocs de la propri�t� en 2006 (5 992 kilom�tres lin�aires), et ce, afin d'�tablir des cibles prioritaires pour un suivi sur le terrain. Une analyse pr�liminaire des r�sultats du lev� g�ophysique effectu�e en 2007 avait permis d'identifier pr�s de 400 anomalies ponctuelles en uranium, ainsi que des axes lin�aires avec des valeurs �lev�es en uranium. Un programme cibl� d'exploration sur le terrain est en voie de pr�paration pour l'automne 2008. Le programme aura pour but de commencer la v�rification des cibles d'uranium prioritaires, notamment les anomalies g�ophysiques d�finies par MB Geosolutions, ainsi qu'une s�rie d'indices d'uranium (nombreux affleurements et blocs min�ralis�s; anomalies g�ochimiques dans les sols) recens�s dans un rapport conforme � la norme 43-101 compl�t� sur la propri�t� en 2007.

La propri�t� Baker Lake est constitu�e de 109 claims miniers jalonn�s pour l'uranium, ainsi que 23 claims miniers jalonn�s pour le diamant, pour une superficie totale combin�e de 1 032 km2.

Selon les conditions de l'Entente d'acquisition, qui demeure sujette � l'approbation des conseils d'administration et des autorit�s r�glementaires, De Beers devra assigner et transf�rer � Majescor tous les permis miniers et tous les droits miniers de la propri�t� Baker Lake et de la R�gion d'int�r�t entourant la propri�t� de fa�on � ce que, suite au transfert, Majescor sera d�tenteur � 100 % des permis et des droits miniers. En contrepartie, Majescor �mettra � De Beers des actions ordinaires pour une valeur totale de 50 000 $ dans les 30 jours suivant l'ex�cution de l'Entente d'acquisition. Avant la signature de cette entente, Majescor d�tenait 80 % des droits sur l'uranium et �tait en voie d'acqu�rir 50 % des droits sur le diamant.

Majescor est une soci�t� d'exploration pour l'uranium ouvrant dans des districts uranif�res en �mergence. En plus de la propri�t� Baker Lake, le portefeuille de propri�t�s de Majescor comprend quatre projets d'exploration pour l'uranium au Qu�bec, soit les propri�t�s Rae Sud et Minto Ouest (sous option d'Exploration Azimut inc.), Mistassini (d�tenue � 100 %; option accord�e � Ressources Strateco inc.), et Lac Laparre (d�tenue � 100 %; option accord�e � Santoy Resources inc. et Otish Energy inc.). Les quatre projets qu�b�cois feront l'objet de travaux d'exploration syst�matiques sur le terrain en 2008, dans un effort de suivi des nombreuses cibles prioritaires recens�es en 2007 (g�ophysiques, g�ochimiques, en affleurements et/on en blocs).

Ce communiqu� a �t� approuv� par Jacques Letendre, g�ologue, administrateur de Majescor, agissant � titre de � personne qualifi�e � pour la Soci�t� selon la norme canadienne 43-101.
