Uranium North Appoints Uranium Expert To Board Of Directors
======================================================================
Vancouver, January 24, 2007 -- Uranium North Resources Corp. (UNR --
TSX Venture) announces the appointment of Mr. Daniel Faure to the Board
of Directors. Mr. Faure brings over 40 years of uranium exploration
experience and business acumen to the Company.
Among many accomplishments, Mr. Faure is credited with leading the team
that discovered the Cigar Lake deposit during his tenure as President
of COGEMA's Canadian subsidiary, S.E.R.U Nucleaire Canada Ltd. Cigar
Lake in the Athabasca Basin is the world's largest undeveloped
high-grade uranium deposit.
As consultant to UEX Corporation on the Raven-Horseshoe deposit, Mr.
Faure was responsible for reinterpreting the GULF drilling data. He
concluded that uranium mineralization occurs along 3 levels of nearly
horizontal lenses up to 30 metres thick, and extending over 1 km.
Vertical holes were recommended to assess the mineralization
distribution.
While employed by TOTAL Mining and Nuclears' in Australia, Mr. Faure
was credited with identifying the Georgetown Inlet in Queensland as
having high uranium potential. This ultimately led to the discovery of
the Ben Lomond deposit.
"Mr. Faure's depth of uranium exploration knowledge and track record of
discovery, namely his role in the discovery of the Cigar Lake deposit,
will be a tremendous asset for the evaluation and development of our
projects" says Mr. Mark Kolebaba, Uranium North President.
Having directed uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin for over 20
years, Mr. Faure's first task at Uranium North will be to analyze the
Carswell East and Beatty River projects in the Athabasca basin to
select drill targets.
"I was attracted to Uranium North based on its highly prospective
uranium properties in Canada's most important uranium regions, namely
the Athabasca Basins' Carswell property and the Amer Lake Project in
Nunavut. I am excited to work with a company that has real potential of
finding the next big uranium discovery," says Mr. Faure.
Over the years, Mr. Faure has also held positions with ELF Aquitaine
and the French Atomic Commission (CEA) in various capacities, including
Chief Geologist and Project Manager exploring for uranium in Iran,
Cameroon and Turkey. Mr. Faure held the position as Expert to the
International Atomic Energy Association in Pakistan and Egypt.
On behalf of the company, we welcome Mr. Faure to our team and look
forward to working together.
