Title: Mesa Uranium Drills Significant U3O8 In Arizona

Mesa Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: MZU) ("Mesa") is pleased to report that new drilling has intersected significant uranium at the 100%-owned Moonshine Springs uranium property in Northwestern Arizona.

This initial drilling was designed to test and confirm previous drilling conducted on the property by Exxon in the 1970's. The uranium mineralization encountered is in altered sandstones within the Chinle formation that hosts the nearby 2.5 million pound U3O8 Moonshine Springs deposit owned by Dennison Mines.

Drill results are as follows, depths are to the base of mineralization:

Hole	Depth	Thickness	eU3O8 %	Pounds Per Ton U3O8
M-1	583.7’	1.5’	0.15	3.0
M-1	624.8’	7.5’	0.21	4.2
M-1 (including)	624.8’	2.0’	0.55	11.0
M-2	615.7’	4.0’	0.47	9.4
M-2 (including)	615.7’	1.0’	0.82	16.4

Drill hole M-1 confirmed a 1979 Exxon intercept (6 feet grading 0.40% U3O8) and drill hole M-2 was drilled 75 feet to the north of M-1 and confirmed the lateral continuity of the uranium mineralization. Step-out holes are planned for this area. A third hole located 1 mile to the east on trend with the Dennison deposit did not reach targeted depths due to mechanical problems and will be re-entered and drilled to depth when drilling operations resume in late winter or early spring. Future drilling will test the extent of this zone and explore a number of targets throughout the project.

Mesa currently controls 5 square miles of prospective ground at the Moonshine Springs uranium property. The Moonshine Springs project is located in the Arizona Strip Uranium Mining District. Mesa is pleased to add Moonshine Springs to its portfolio of properties with confirmed strong uranium intercepts.

All holes were logged by Century Geophysical Services to produce a log suite of Gamma, Spontaneous Potential (SP), and Resistivity values. The Gamma portion of the down-hole logging tool was calibrated at uranium-industry standard pits located in Grand Junction, Colorado. In situ uranium grades, expressed as equivalent U3O8 (eU3O8) are calculated using the digital gamma ray values acquired by the down hole logging tool and uranium industry standard techniques for gamma log interpretation.
