Fall 2011 Uracan Drilling Continues To Identify Uranium Mineralization On Costebelle A4 Zone

Vancouver, Canada (February 27, 2012) - Uracan Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:URC) ("Uracan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from Diamond drilling completed during its fall 2011 drilling campaign. The drilling outlined in this release focused on the Costebelle A4 Zone, part of the Company's 100% owned North Shore Project in Quebec, Canada.

The 23 hole, 4,100 metre fall 2011 drill program was designed to follow-up on exploration targets outlined during previous drill programs at the A4 Zone within the Costebelle Claim Group. The fall 2011 drill assays were delayed due to higher than normal sample volumes and the resulting backlog in assaying at the laboratory facilities. As a result of the fall 2011 drill results, mineralization has been extended up to 400 metres down dip from surface outcrop mineralization, and remains open to the southwest along strike and at depth in several areas of the A4 Zone.

The area with drill results received to date occurs along an approximate 900 metre strike length within the overall potential strike length of the 1,500 metre anomaly defining the A4 Zone. This anomaly is defined by airborne and ground radiometrics, surface mapping and channel sampling, along with previous drilling. Additional exploration potential remains in the northern portion of the A4 Zone. Currently, the 2011 channel sample results and drill results are being reviewed and 2012 work is in the planning stages.


Uranium mineralization at the Costebelle A4 Zone continues to occur as multiple stacked mineralized zones, hosted within pegmatite dykes and sills with drilled thicknesses ranging up to 59.65 metres. The true thickness of these zones is unknown at this time but is thought to be similar to the drilled thickness. A detailed map showing the Costebelle A4 Zone drill hole locations as well as drill hole coordinates and a complete listing of assay results will be posted on Uracan's website: www.uracan.ca.

Assay QA/QC

Core samples were shipped by Company personnel in sealed containers to ALS Chemex Laboratories for analysis. Chemex is the laboratory facility used for all assays from the North Shore Property program. Core samples are weighed and catalogued before sample preparation. The samples are crushed to 70% less than 2mm, split and then pulverized to 85% of the core sample being less than 75 �m. All core samples are assayed using ICP-MS with analysis completed for 47 elements.

A QA/QC program was implemented as part of the sampling procedure for the drill program. Field duplicates, field blanks and certified standards were inserted into the sample stream with at least one blank, one duplicate and one standard inserted per group of 30 samples sent to the laboratory. Due to a sampling error made in the field, CA4-11-42 did not have standards or blanks inserted into the samples shipped. However, field duplicates were taken and the samples from this hole passed the laboratory's internal QA/QC program. The laboratory has an extensive in house QA/QC system as part of their quality control system.
