News Release - Tuesday, October 30, 2007
Centennial Project - Mine Permiting Update
======================================================================

POWERTECH URANIUM CORP. ("Powertech" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that activities associated with its mine permit application
for the Centennial Project, in Weld County, Colorado are advancing on
schedule. Several major milestones have been completed to date,
including:

A network of 49 groundwater wells has been completed in the project
area. Some of these wells are being used to perform aquifer tests
through October and November 2007. This testing will characterize the
hydrology of the mineral bearing sands, as well as the stratigraphic
units above and below the mineralized sands. Based on the results of
these tests, aquifer process and restoration studies are scheduled to
be initiated by November 15, 2007. Water samples from these wells have
been collected and will also be analyzed to provide quarterly baseline
water quality data for the project. Included in this network of
groundwater wells are 26 historical groundwater observation wells
completed in the 1980's. The State Engineer complimented Powertech on
its proactive measures to retrofit these wells into the current
groundwater monitoring program.

The program of domestic well sampling is progressing as planned.
Historical analyses show that water used for domestic purposes have
high nitrate and iron mineral content. To date, no registered domestic
water wells have been found to be completed within the mineralized sand
units.

A conceptual three dimensional geologic site model has been completed.
This modeling demonstrates that the proposed in-situ recovery ("ISR")
operation is isolated from existing registered domestic wells.

A surface water monitoring program consisting of 13 stations is in its
third month of operation and representative surface water impoundments
have been sampled.

Terrestrial ecological surveys are underway and are scheduled to be
completed by December 31, 2007.

Cultural resource studies continue. No significant findings have been
reported to date.

Reclamation and radiological profile soil studies have been completed.

The first of three radon flux samples have been obtained.

Gamma radiation transect surveys are underway.

High volume particulate samplers, as well as a meteorological tower,
are ready for instalation pending approval from Weld County.

A coring program was completed in July and August 2007. Samples of
mineralized core have been sent to Energy Labs in Casper, Wyoming for
uranium and metals analyses.

Geotechnical analyses of core samples indicate the mineralized sands
exhibit high horizontal permeabilities, while extremely low vertical
permeabilities are found within confining clay units above and below
the mineralized sands -- ideal conditions for ISR operations. Other
mineralized core samples have been set aside for column leach testing,
which is scheduled to begin in late November 2007. The data from the
column studies will be used to design production wells fields and to
support the aquifer restoration plan.

The preparation of an application to the EPA for an Underground
Injection Control permit has been initiated.

George M. L. Robinson of R Squared, Inc., the prime contractor for the
completion of the mine permit and license application activities,
states "We are on schedule to complete our mine permit applications for
submission in 2008. The federal, state and county regulatory agencies
have been engaged and no significant obstacles have been identified.
The landowners have been cooperative in the development of the baseline
studies. State of the art instrumentation and advanced analytical
methods are being applied to demonstrate and document that the project
will not adversely impact human health or the environment."

This news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Richard F.
Clement, President and CEO of Powertech, under whose direction the
company's operations are being carried out. Mr. Clement, P.Geo., MSc.
is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
