Dear Centram Exploration followers, September 10, 2007
I'm sending you this morning's press release (below) which officially announces the name and symbol change of Centram Exploration Ltd. to Pancontinental Uranium Corporation.
Please note our new symbol is PUC
We are still trading on the TSX Venture Exchange and there has been no change to the capital structure of the company.
Today's release also provides a brief update on our Australian partner's work on our three uranium projects. I expect we can now begin a regular and more thorough updating for our e-mail audience on our progress.
Above, and on the temporary website, you can see the proposed logo for our new company. Your comments are welcome ahead of our new website launch which will take place before the end of this month.
The name Pancontinental Uranium Corporation accurately reflects the vision that our Board has established - to find, acquire, develop and operate uranium deposits around the world.
Our new URL is www.panconu.com. Linking to the Centram site will redirect visitors to the new site, as well.
Please call me toll free at I-866-816-0118 or introduce yourself to our new Investor Relations person in Toronto, Ashleigh Meyer, at 1-416-867-8073, if you wish to discuss our plans.
Best Regards,
Rick Mark
President and CEO, Pancontinental Uranium Corp.
CENTRAM CHANGES NAME TO
PANCONTINENTAL URANIUM CORPORATION
10 Sept 2007
Centram Exploration Ltd. ("Centram") is pleased to announce that the name of the Company has been changed to Pancontinental Uranium Corporation ("Pancon" or the "Company"). Effective today, shares of Pancon will begin trading under the symbol PUC on the TSX Venture Exchange.
Centram received shareholder approval for the name change at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on July 6, 2007.
Pancon's uranium properties in Australia are held in joint venture with the operator, Crossland Uranium Mines Limited ("Crossland") of Australia, and include an extensive uranium portfolio in the Northern Territory and South Australia. Pancon is earning a 50% interest in Crossland's interest in these properties and all of Crossland's future uranium properties in Australia through the expenditure of A$8 million. Pancon and Crossland also plan to aggressively explore for uranium outside of Australia and have established a private Canadian company, Crosscontinental Uranium Ltd., to which each party will contribute A$2 million.
The name change signifies Pancon's global approach to uranium exploration. The considerable uranium assets combined with a management and operating team with unparalleled experience in the uranium industry distinguish Pancon. This is a further step in the re-branding process of the Company since its joint venture with Crossland was finalized in February of this year.
Chilling Project, Northern Territory (100%)
The Chilling Project covers an area of over 100 kilometres of continuous structures in an area that Crossland believes is favourable for unconformity-related deposits. It is possible that this area mirrors the Jabiluka-Ranger-Koongara corridor of the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field, a prolific uranium mining area in the Northern Territory. The main target zone is relatively unexplored and lies under a sandstone cover, similar to deposits in West Arnhem Land and Saskatchewan. Ground prospecting around known uranium occurrences in the Chilling Project area is underway. A detailed radiometric survey is expected to commence in the September quarter.
Charley Creek, Northern Territory (100%)
The Charley Creek Project titles cover the highly radioactive Teapot Granite uranium target, with reported visible secondary uranium mineralization. The land package includes extensive drainages and sediment basins downstream, possibly containing calcrete and redox-related uranium deposits. These have been outlined by an airborne electromagnetic survey recently completed, and the final report is awaited.
Kalabity, South Australia (Crossland earning 60%)
The Kalabity area was subject to extensive exploration in the past, targeting the KR4 prospect with granite-related davidite uranium mineralization similar to the ore at Radium Hill. There are targets for several styles of uranium deposits, including the iron oxide copper gold deposits like Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill, also located in South Australia. A detailed airborne radiometric survey has been completed and anomalies revealed in that survey are presently being checked in the field.
The "Crossland and Pancon" Team
The joint venture team includes a group with years of uranium experience from exploration to development in the prolific uranium districts of Australia.
Geoff Eupene, Exploration Director of Crossland and Director of Pancon, has considerable uranium experience spanning over 35 years. He is an expert in unconformity-related uranium deposits such as Ranger and Jabiluka, and led the team that discovered the Ranger 68 deposit.
Bob Cleary, Chairman of Crossland and consultant to Pancon, joined Energy Resources of Australia in 1986 as Operations Manager at Ranger. He held various other positions before becoming CEO, a position he held from 1999 to 2004.
David Mosher, Director of Pancon, began his career as an exploration geologist leading the Pancontinental Mining team that discovered Jabiluka, Australia's largest uranium orebody. He has over 30 years of experience in Australia, Canada, the United States, Russia, Asia and Africa.
Peter Walker, Director of Crossland and Pancon, has over 30 years of experience in resource law. He has significant experience in Northern Territory land access and resources law, and advised on the Ranger and Jabiluka agreements.
Bob Richardson, Director of Crossland and consultant to Pancon, is an expert in uranium geophysics with more than 40 years of experience. He supervised all geophysical work during the Ranger discovery in the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field.
