Attention Business Editors:
UEX Plans to Initiate Final Feasibility Study at Raven and Horseshoe Deposits Following Receipt of N.I. 43-101 Compliant Resource Estimate
Trading Symbol: UEX-TSX
VANCOUVER, June 13 /CNW/ - UEX Corporation ("UEX") is pleased to announce
the results from all drill holes completed during the winter 2007 definition
and exploration drilling program at the Raven and Horseshoe Deposits ("Raven",
and "Horseshoe") located within UEX's 100%-owned Hidden Bay Project in the
eastern Athabasca Basin area of northern Saskatchewan. The drilling program,
totaling 28,212 metres, was completed between January and April 2007, and
consisted of 6,408 metres in 25 holes at Raven (holes RU-001 to RU-025) and
21,804 metres in 63 holes at Horseshoe (holes HU-028 to HU-090).
The purpose of UEX's drilling program was to further define the extent of
Horseshoe mineralization to provide the basis for a National Instrument 43-101
("N.I. 43-101") compliant resource estimate, test areas where Horseshoe
mineralization extends into previously unexplored areas, and test portions of
Raven to establish mineralization continuity for future resource definition.
"The recent drilling has exceeded our expectations, and in particular the
results from Horseshoe are impressive, with strong continuity between drill
holes and significant grades and widths of mineralization," said Stephen
Sorensen, President and CEO of UEX. Sorensen went on to say: "In this economic
environment, UEX plans to move aggressively to final feasibility at Raven and
Horseshoe, in parallel with environmental, metallurgical and geotechnical
studies that are underway."
Golder Associates ("Golder") has been engaged to oversee a resource
calculation for Horseshoe, and has initiated components of a final feasibility
study. Golder provides technical guidance on aspects of the final phases of
definition drilling for both Raven and Horseshoe, including geotechnical
analysis of drill core. Golder is also responsible for environmental
management planning and is in the latter stages of environmental baseline
collection.
Melis Engineering Ltd. is currently overseeing a metallurgical testing
program using representative composites derived from Horseshoe assay rejects.
Head analyses of test composites revealed low levels of deleterious elements
and initial metallurgical test results show over 97% uranium extraction under
relatively mild acid leach conditions, thus greatly facilitating uranium
recovery from the Horseshoe mineralization.
On June 11, 2007, the Ux Consulting Company LLC reported the uranium spot
price at US$135/lb U3O8. At that price, sample values per tonne for the
following uranium grades are listed below:
- 1.0% U3O8 represents a value of US$2,970 per tonne;
- 0.5% U3O8 represents a value of US$1,485 per tonne;
- 0.1% U3O8 represents a value of US$297 per tonne;
- 0.05% U3O8 represents a value of US$148.50 per tonne.
Raven and Horseshoe are located less than 5 kilometres south of Cameco
Corporation's ("Cameco") Rabbit Lake, and 12 kilometres southeast of AREVA
Resources Canada Inc.'s ("AREVA") McClean Lake milling operations, and are
hosted by competent basement rocks that could be amenable to both open-pit and
conventional underground ramp access mining methods.
"While the feasibility study for Raven and Horseshoe will evaluate
several mining methods, the probability of more favourable economics using an
open pit mine design has led UEX to quote these intercepts with an open pit
resource in mind and hence a 0.05% U3O8 cutoff," said Sorensen. "Should future
results dictate otherwise, these results and their corresponding resource
estimates would be re-stated with the appropriate cut-off as determined at
that time."
Horseshoe Deposit Results
Numerous mineralized intercepts were obtained at Horseshoe during the
2007 winter drilling program, and those composited to grades of at least 0.05%
U3O8 with a grade-thickness product of greater than 0.05 are listed in

- 0.17% U3O8 over 12.10 metres in hole HU-89 (A-B zone, section 4755N)
- 0.37% U3O8 over 6.20 metres in hole HU-89 (A-B zone, section 4755N)
Many of the intercepts listed above contain narrower, higher-grade zones.
For example, the intercept in hole HU-043 listed above contains a zone of
2.04% U3O8 over 7.50 metres, which includes 10.59% U3O8 over 0.50 metres.
Other significant higher-grade intercepts include 0.99% over 11.40 metres in
hole HU-61, 1.58% U3O8 over 5.20 metres in HU-065 and 1.97% U3O8 over 3.85
metres in HU-037, which includes 5.27% U3O8 over 0.55 metres (see Table 1 for
other significant higher-grade intercepts included in wider intervals of
mineralization).
While true widths of mineralized intervals have not yet been determined,
drill core axis angles and continuity of mineralization between drill holes
suggest that the vertical to steep angle of drill holes crosses the
shallow-dipping mineralized zones at a high angle, which is close to true
thickness.
Infill sampling will be required to fully assess the intercepts in HU-43
and HU-52 since they contain cumulative unsampled intervals of up to
12.70�metres where the core did not contain sufficiently anomalous
radioactivity to meet UEX's sampling criteria as determined by hand-held
scintillometer (greater than 200 counts per second, or "cps"). These unsampled
intervals are scheduled for sampling during the upcoming 2007 summer drilling
program, for if the intervals contain low-grade mineralization, they could be
mined with adjacent higher-grade material pending a positive feasibility
study.
The results of the winter 2007 drilling program, when integrated with
previously-reported holes from 2006, have now outlined mineralization at
Horseshoe over a strike length of 500 metres. Within this mineralized area,
definition drilling at 15 to 30 metres spacing has defined a continuous pair
of stacked, shallow-dipping, mineralized zones over a 350 metre strike length.
The zones, termed the A and B zones, comprise competent zones of hematization
with disseminated and veinlet pitchblende-boltwoodite-uranophane
mineralization within competent quartzitic gneiss. The zones plunge shallowly
to the northeast and are linear in plan view.
Mineralization depths increase as the mineralized zones plunge to the
northeast, ranging in vertical depth below surface from 130 to 220 metres in
the southwestern parts of the A zone between sections 4540-4650N, to depths of
240 to 390 metres below surface along sections 4690-4750N where the A and B
zones converge to the northeast. Where the zones, converge, they are
collectively referred to as the A-B zone in Table 1 and the intercepts above.
Mineralization is still open to the northeast and additional drilling is
planned during the summer of 2007.
Raven Deposit Results
The winter 2007 drilling program at Raven was designed to further test
the continuity of mineralization identified by Gulf Minerals Canada ("Gulf")
during its exploration of the deposit during the 1970's. Gulf's historical
drilling was generally too widely-spaced to calculate a current resource or to
fully interpret the continuity of mineralization. Previous drilling conducted
by UEX in 2005 in a western area of Raven encountered narrow, discontinuous
intercepts. The current target area was subsequently identified as an area
where greater grade and continuity potential could occur, based on the
interpretation of historical Gulf data. Uranium mineralization generally
occurs at depths between 80 and 240 metres. The winter 2007 drilling program
tested this area over a 300 metre strike length, with drill holes positioned
on 60 metre-spaced sections, approximately 30 metres apart on each section
line. Between three and six holes tested each cross section, following up
areas where mineralization was previously intersected by Gulf. All holes were
drilled grid north (north-northwest) with dips of 70 degrees to 88 degrees.
Mineralized intervals intersected during the program and composited to
grades of 0.05% U3O8 with a grade-thickness product of greater than 0.05 are
listed in Table 2. Some of the most significant intercepts include:
- 0.09% U3O8 over 40.70 metres in hole RU-001 (section 5475E)
- 0.80% U3O8 over 2.20 metres in hole RU-002 (section 5475E)
- 0.08% U3O8 over 14.60 metres in hole RU-002 (section 5475E)
- 0.12% U3O8 over 9.00 metres in hole RU-002 (section 5475E)
- 0.11% U3O8 over 9.00 metres in hole RU-003 (section 5475E)
- 0.16% U3O8 over 27.00 metres in hole RU-004 (section 5475E)
- 0.25% U3O8 over 13.30 metres in hole RU-005 (section 5535E)
- 0.19% U3O8 over 16.70 metres in hole RU-012 (section 5415E)
- 0.45% U3O8 over 5.60 metres in hole RU-014 (section 5415E)
- 0.09% U3O8 over 36.20 metres in hole RU-015 (section 5630E)
- 0.15% U3O8 over 8.30 metres in hole RU-015 (section 5630E)
- 0.36% U3O8 over 4.50 metres in hole RU-017 (section 5630E)
- 0.51% U3O8 over 4.10 metres in hole RU-023 (section 5660E)
- 0.07% U3O8 over 20.00 metres in hole RU-024 (section 5660E)
- 0.06% U3O8 over 38.70 metres in hole RU-024 (section 5660E)
- 0.10% U3O8 over 33.60 metres in hole RU-025 (section 5415E)
As with Horseshoe drilling, some infill sampling is planned during the
upcoming 2007 summer drilling program to fully assess the mineralized
intercepts in RU-001, RU-003, and RU-012 since they contain cumulative
unsampled intervals of up to 3.9 metres where the core did not contain
sufficiently anomalous radioactivity to meet UEX's sampling criteria of
greater than 200 cps, as determined by hand-held scintillometer.
The mineralization intersected during the winter 2007 program at Raven is
more complex in morphology than that observed in the current areas of
definition drilling at Horseshoe. It comprises a combination of
pitchblende-boltwoodite-uranophane bearing narrow, higher- grade veinlets,
disseminations with red hematite, and irregular pods and blebs. Further
drilling will be required to assess its continuity and infill the current 60
metre-spaced sections. Mineralization intersected in several drill holes is
open, and extends into areas not previously tested by Gulf. The intercepts
reported here occur at vertical depths below surface of between 70 and 250
metres, and are shallower on average than the intercepts at Horseshoe to the
east.
Summer 2007 Drilling Programs
A Diamond drilling program at Raven and Horseshoe is planned for the
summer of 2007 using up to 3 drill rigs and totaling approximately
21,000�metres. At Horseshoe, two drill rigs are planned to complete further
drilling of approximately 15,000 metres, leading to the calculation of a
N.I.�43-101 compliant resource in the fourth quarter of 2007, or in the first
quarter of 2008.
At Raven, a drilling program of approximately 6,000 metres is planned to
test the continuity of mineralization at Raven with infill holes, and to test
potential mineralization beyond the areas of current UEX and historical Gulf
drilling. Infill drilling to establish a resource will be considered for the
2008 winter program if sufficient continuity of mineralization is identified.
A potentially economic resource identified at Raven could be mined either by
open pit or underground methods concurrently with resources developed at
Horseshoe, pending a positive feasibility study.
About Raven and Horseshoe
In 1980, Gulf estimated a total resource at Raven and Horseshoe of
6.7�million tonnes at an average grade of 0.16% U3O8, representing
approximately 23 million contained pounds of U3O8. This historical resource
estimate was based on widely-spaced drill holes and was not calculated using
current Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum categories and
no current resource or reserve competence categories were applied. As a
result, such resource estimate is not compliant with N.I. 43-101 and should
not be relied upon.

Sample Handling and Quality Assurance
Geochemical samples are selected with the aid of a hand-held
scintillometer to identify areas of above-background radioactivity. Samples
are split, with half remaining in the core box, and the remainder shipped to
Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories ("SRC") where they
are crushed and ground to minus 106 microns. The pulp is digested in aqua
regia leach and analyzed by ICP for uranium and other elements. In addition to
the geochemical analyses, down-hole probe radiometric results, obtained for
all drill holes on completion of drilling, provide an independent check of the
geochemical data. Probe results can be used for grade calculations where poor
ground conditions occur and drill core recoveries are low, although at Raven
and Horseshoe recoveries are generally at, or close to, 100%. UEX has
commenced systematic insertion of sample blanks into the sample stream. In
addition, repeat analyses are routinely analyzed, and laboratory standards are
inserted by SRC to assess sample repeatability and accuracy of results.
The technical information in this news release regarding Raven and
Horseshoe has been compiled by David Rhys, P. Geo., a Qualified Person as
defined by N.I. 43-101. True widths of mineralized intervals have not yet been
determined.
