      Uranium North Drilling Program Underway at Amer Lake
=======================================================================

Vancouver, July 15, 2008 - Uranium North Resources Corp. (UNR - TSX-V)
announces that the 2008 exploration drilling program on the Company's
100% owned Amer Lake property in Nunavut is underway. The first three
drill collar locations have been located on the *6.7 million pound
historic resource. Phase one of the drill program will consist of an
initial 10 to 15 drill holes focusing mainly on expanding the historic
resource in the Central and Eastern Regions of the property. 

The Central Region is defined by a 5 x 7.5 kilometre radiometric
anomaly with numerous outcrops and boulders showing uranium values
ranging from <0.1 to 8.8% U3O8. Within this region, the historic
resource is drill defined as two lobes that extend only 1.5 kilometres
across the western margin of this uranium anomaly. Drill targets in the
Central Region have the potential to significantly expand the historic
resource and increase the uranium grades.

The Eastern Region, which is approximately 10 kilometres east of the
Central Region, hosts several significant targets. A priority drill
target is a geophysical anomaly estimated to be an 8 kilometre long by
200 metre wide sedimentary unit with associated boulders and outcrop
yielding <0.17 to 1.5 % U308.

Historical work on the property focused on complex structural controls
on mineralization. Results of work completed by Uranium North in 2007
suggests that the geological setting of the Amer Lake property may be
analogous to the Tim Mersoi basin in Niger, where large uranium
deposits have been mined since the 1970s. The Company believes that
while structure is important at Amer Lake, stratigraphy appears to be
the main controlling factor for mineralization. This new approach has
been introduced by Mr. Daniel Faure who is currently on site leading
the 2008 exploration activities. Mr. Faure is credited with leading the
team that discovered the Cigar Lake deposit, the world's richest
undeveloped uranium resource.

W.E. Brereton, P Eng, of MPH Consulting Limited is Uranium North's
qualified person with respect to these projects and has reviewed and
approved the technical information in this release.

About Uranium North

Uranium North has rapidly advanced a large property portfolio bringing
3 projects to the drill ready stage. Uranium North's key properties are
located in Nunavut and Saskatchewan, which the company considers to be
the most geologically prospective and politically supportive uranium
mining and exploration districts in Canada

*Not compliant with NI 43-101.This is not a resource estimate and
should not be relied upon as insufficient exploration has been carried
out to delineate a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral
resource.

The sample data reported is from assessment files and other third party
reporting. The accuracy and validity of this historic data has not been
verified by Uranium North or its consultants.
