Majescor Outlines Two Significant Uranium-bearing Outcrop Zones within 30 km-long Prospective Corridor at South Rae, Nunavik, Quebec

Montreal, QC, August 8, 2008. Majescor Resources Inc. ("Majescor" or "the Company") (MAJ: TSX-V) is pleased to report that detailed ground radiometric surveying within the 30 km-long prospective corridor identified in 2007 on the South Rae property, under option from Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut") (AZM: TSX-V), has outlined two uranium-bearing outcropping zones greater than 4 km long by up to 400 m wide. At the Qairajutait Zone, located at the north end of the 30 km-long prospective corridor, hand-held spectrometer readings taken along lines on a 30 m-spaced grid in the vicinity of last year's best grab sample (0.65% U3O8 ) defined a 4.7 km long by 200-400 m wide uranium-bearing zone hosting several new showings as defined by spectrometer readings ranging from 1,500 to 27,000 counts per second ("CPS").

Additional systematic ground radiometric surveying focussed on an area located 21 km southeast of the Qairajutait Zone called the Tunulic Zone, where assays of up to 0.50% U3O8 were recovered from grab samples in 2007. The detailed ground surveying at the Tunalic Zone succeeded in outlining a 5 km by up to 400 m wide outcrop zone, hosting new showings with spectrometer readings ranging from 2,100 to 14,000 CPS.

Anomalous radiometric readings ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 CPS were also recorded along a 60 m-long outcrop zone located approximately 4 km to the east-southeast of the Qairajutait Zone. Geochemical sampling results for this zone and for both the Qairajutait and Tunulic outcrop zones are expected in October.

Marc-Andr� Bernier, President and CEO states: "Early stage regional exploration in the Ungava region of Nunavik continues to point to the presence of an emerging uranium district in Canada. South Rae is the third property in the Ungava Bay area where kilometre-scale uranium-bearing outcrop zones have been discovered. At AREVA's Cage property, located 150 km to the northeast of South Rae, 14 mineralized zones were uncovered with grades of up to 9.34% U3O8 (source: MNRF-Qu�bec assessment report GM 63422). On the adjacent North Rae property held by Azimut, eight outcropping uranium mineralized zones with a total cumulative length of 12 km and grades of up to 3.3% U3O8 have been discovered.."

A detailed examination of the first vertical derivative airborne magnetic data indicates that the Qairajutait Zone, the eastern extension of the Qairajutait Zone and the Tunulic Zone all fall within the same magnetic low area bounded on both sides by well defined and continuous narrow magnetic highs. This restricted magnetic low area continues to the north of the Qairajutait Zone for at least 33 km on the property, and to the south of the Tunulic Zone for at least another 15 km. The mineralization in the Qairajutait Zone, as well as in the Tunulic Zone is generally confined to pegmatites and pegmatitic granite dykes intruding biotite gneisses and migmatites, an environment that appears to be similar to the uranium mineralization at Azimut's Cirrus Zone. Based on these findings, three shallow inclined core drill holes (total 147 m) were completed with the Company's recently purchased heliportable drill rig. The drill program was designed to start testing the continuity of the surface mineralization within the first 50 m from the surface and to evaluate the performance of the drilling equipment. Anomalous radiometric readings were recorded (200-2,400 CPS) over core lengths varying from 0.5 m to 1.45 m. Drill core assay results are also expected in October.

Majescor is targeting R�ssing-type, large tonnage, intrusion-related uranium deposits amenable to open pit mining at South Rae.

References to ground radiometric survey results refer to the use of Radiation Solution RS-120 and RS-125 hand held spectrometers for ground surveying and of a Mount Sopris HLP-2375 down-hole gamma probe for drilling. Results from these units provide an indication of uranium mineralization. The readings may be affected by uranium mobility and disequilibrium. These factors should be considered when interpreting spectrometer readings whilst waiting for confirmation drill core assay results.

In other news, the Company reports that the TSX has approved the issuance of 78,261 Majescor common shares at a deemed price of $0.115 per share to SIDEX, corresponding to a $9,000 interest payment relating to the $150,000 unsecured convertible debenture announced on January 22, 2007. The shares are subject to a 4 month hold period.

Majescor is a dedicated uranium explorer focusing on emerging uranium districts. Majescor's project portfolio includes four uranium exploration projects in Quebec and one in the Baker Lake basin in Nunavut. The Quebec properties include South Rae and West Minto (under option from Azimut); 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 Zoran Madon, P.Geo, Majescor's exploration manager, acting as the "Qualified Person" for the Company under National Instrument 43-101.

Majescor d�limite deux importantes zones d'affleurements uranif�res dans un corridor prospectif de 30 km sur la propri�t� Rae Sud au Nunavik

Montr�al, QC, le 8 ao�t 2008. Ressources Majescor inc. (Majescoroula Soci�t�) (MAJ : TSX-V) a le plaisir d'annoncer que des lev�s radiom�triques au sol d�taill�s effectu�s le long du corridor prospectif de 30 km identifi� en 2007 sur la propri�t� Rae Sud, sous option d'Exploration Azimut Inc. (� Azimut �) (AZM : TSX-V), ont permis de d�finir deux zones d'uranium en affleurement de plus de 4 km de longueur et atteignant jusqu'� 400 m de largeur. Dans la zone Qairajutait , situ�e � l'extr�mit� nord du corridor prospectif de 30 km, des mesures au spectrom�tre portable prises sur une grille de lignes espac�es de 30 m centr�e sur le secteur du meilleur r�sultat obtenu pour des �chantillons choisis l'an pass� (0,65 % U3O8), d�finissent une zone uranif�re de 4,7 km de long par 200 � 400 m de large. Cette zone renferme plusieurs nouveaux indices d'uranium tels que caract�ris�s par des mesures au spectrom�tre variant de 1 50027 000 chocs par seconde (� CPS �).

Un second lev� radiom�trique au sol d�taill� a �t� r�alis� sur un secteur du corridor situ� � 21 km au sud-est de la zone Qairajutait, sur une zone nomm� Tunulic, o� des teneurs atteignant 0,50 % U3O8 ont �t� obtenues d'�chantillons choisis en 2007. Le lev� radiom�trique sur la zone Tunulic a permis de d�limiter une zone d'affleurements anomaux en uranium de 5 km de long par jusqu'� 400 m de large. Les nouveaux indices d'uranium recens�s dans cette zone sont caract�ris�s par des mesures au spectrom�tre variant entre 2 100 et 14 000 CPS.

Des valeurs radiom�triques anomales de l'ordre de 1 000 � 10 000 CPS ont �galement �t� enregistr�es en affleurement sur une zone de 60 m de long situ�e environ 4 km � l'est-sud-est de la zone Qairajutait Les r�sultats des analyses g�ochimiques des �chantillons pr�lev�s sur cette zone, ainsi que sur les zones de Qairajutait et Tunulic sont attendus en octobre.

Marc-Andr� Bernier, pr�sident et chef de la direction, d�clare : � Les r�sultats des recherches r�gionales r�alis�es dans la r�gion de l'Ungava au Nunavik continuent d'indiquer la pr�sence d'un district uranif�re �mergeant au Canada. La propri�t� Rae Sud est la troisi�me du secteur de la baie d'Ungava o� des zones d'affleurements uranif�res d'envergure kilom�trique ont �t� d�couvertes. En effet, sur la propri�t� Cage d'AREVA, situ�e 150 km au nord-est de la propri�t� Rae Sud, 14 zones min�ralis�es ont �t� mises � jour avec des teneurs atteignant 9,34 % U3O8 (r�f.: MRNF-Qu�bec, rapport de travaux statutaires GM 63422). Sur la propri�t� adjacente Rae Nord d�tenue par Azimut, huit zones d'affleurements min�ralis�s en uranium, d'une distance cumulative de 12 km et comportant des teneurs atteignant 3,3 % U3O8, ont �t� d�couvertes � date. �

Un examen d�taill� de la premi�re d�riv�e verticale des donn�es a�romagn�tiques indique que la zone Qairajutait, son extension orientale, ainsi que la zone Tunulic sont toutes situ�es le long d'un m�me creux magn�tique formant une bande mince bord�e des deux c�t�s par d'�troites cr�tes magn�tique continues et bien circonscrites. Cette bande restreinte d'affleurements � faible magn�tisme se poursuit au nord de la zone Qairajutait, sur une distance d'au moins 33 km sur la propri�t�, et au sud de la zone Tunulic pour au moins un autre 15 km. Les min�ralisations de la zone Qairajutait, ainsi que celles de la zone Tunulic, sont g�n�ralement confin�es aux pegmatites et aux dykes de granite pegmatitique qui recoupent des gneiss � biotite et des migmatites, un contexte g�ologique potentiellement similaire � celui des min�ralisations de la zone Cirrus d'Azimut. Compte tenu de ces r�sultats, trois sondages carottiers inclin�s et peu profonds ont �t� fonc�s � l'aide de la foreuse h�liportable r�cemment acquise par la Soci�t�. Ce programme de forage (147 m au total) avait pour objectifs de d�terminer la continuit� de la min�ralisation dans les premiers 50 m sous la surface et d'�valuer la performance des �quipements de forage. Des valeurs radiom�triques anomales ont �t� not�es (200 � 2 400 CPS) sur des �paisseurs de 0,5 m1,45 m dans l'axe de forage. Les r�sultats des analyses d'�chantillons de carotte sont �galement attendus en octobre.

Majescor recherche des gisements d'uranium � fort tonnage de type R�ssing, associ�s � des intrusions et exploitables en carri�res sur la propri�t� Rae Sud.

Les r�sultats des lev�s radiom�triques au sol mentionn�s ci-dessus ont �t� obtenus � l'aide de spectrom�tres portables de marque Radiation Solution, mod�les RS-120 et RS-125. Ceux des carottes de forage proviennent d'une sonde gamma Mount Sopris HLP-2375. Les mesures prises avec ces appareils permettent de d�celer les zones de min�ralisation en uranium. Ces mesures pourraient cependant �tre affect�es par la mobilit� ou l'instabilit� de l'uranium. Ces facteurs doivent �tre pris en consid�ration lors de l'interpr�tation de mesures au spectrom�tre, en attente de confirmation au moyen des r�sultats d'analyses d'�chantillons de carotte.

Par ailleurs, la Bourse de croissance TSX a autoris� l'�mission par la Soci�t� de 78 261 actions ordinaires au prix de 0,115 $ � SIDEX, correspondant � un paiement d'int�r�ts de 9 000 $ en lien avec le financement priv� de 150 000 $ sous forme de d�benture convertible non garantie annonc� le 22 janvier 2007. Les actions ordinaires �mises seront assujetties � une p�riode de d�tention obligatoire de 4 mois.

Majescor est une soci�t� d'exploration pour l'uranium ouvrant dans des districts uranif�res en �mergence. En plus de la propri�t� Rae Sud, le portefeuille de propri�t�s de Majescor comprend quatre projets d'exploration pour l'uranium, soit les propri�t�s Minto Ouest (sous option d'Azimut), 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.) tous situ�s au Qu�bec; et la propri�t� Baker Lake (d�tenue � 100 %) situ�e au Nunavut. Les cinq propri�t�s pour l'uranium de la Soci�t� feront l'objet de travaux d'exploration syst�matique sur le terrain en 2008, dans le but de v�rifier des cibles prioritaires recens�es en 2007 par des m�thodes g�ophysiques, g�ochimiques et/ou par prospection.

Ce communiqu� a �t� pr�par� par Zoran Madon, G�o., directeur des recherches de Majescor, agissant � titre de personne qualifi�e selon la Norme Canadienne NI 43-101.
