Bluerock Advances Uranium Mining Projects and Adds New US Subsidiary President and Chief Geologist

23/07/2008 1:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Bluerock Resources Ltd. ("Bluerock" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BRD) is
providing an update on uranium development and production by its US subsidiary,
Bluerock Energy Corp. in both the Uravan and Lisbon Valley districts.


The past month has seen Bluerock Energy Corp.:

- Continue to advance production at the J-Bird Uranium Mine

- Progress mine development at the Cone Mountain Uranium Mine site

- Submit permit applications to process the Patty Ann surface stockpile

- Submit bulk sample and exploration drill permits at the Sunbeam Mine

As work focuses in on US operations, Bluerock Resources Ltd. has also:

- Initiated the sale of its Mongolian assets

- Vended noncore base metals projects in British Columbia

Operation Update

At the J-Bird Uranium Mine, Bluerock continues to ship uranium ore(i) to the
White Mesa Mill. The Company is expecting ore production to increase once the
development of the "#2 mineralized zone" commences in August 2008. Meanwhile,
construction of a second development drift, complete with underground drill
stations, is progressing as planned.


At the Cone Mountain Uranium Mine, the Company has deployed a Jumbo drill that
is capable of 20 feet (6 meters) of advance per shift. The new portal has been
framed and stabilized, and development work on the decline is progressing with
the first uranium mineralized block, as defined by Atlas Minerals Corp.,
scheduled to be intersected in early September, 2008. The Company will be
submitting the Mine Plan of Operation to the State of Colorado and the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) authorities this week.


Permits applications have been submitted to the BLM for their approval to begin
processing of the of the Patty Ann surface stockpile. The Company has an LOI
with Uranium One in respect of the Patty Ann surface stockpile. A reply from the
BLM is expected within 30 days as to acceptance or additional requirements for
the start of operations. The Patty Ann is an historic uranium stockpile which is
expected to be amenable to near term development and the shipping of ore(i) to
the White Mesa Mill.


At the Sunbeam Uranium Mine, bulk sample and Phase II drilling permit
applications have been submitted to the BLM and state regulators. The bulk
sample program will allow the Company to reopen the Sunbeam Uranium Mine, assess
underground conditions and move towards a production decision. Two mineralized
zones were identified in the initial round of the Bluerock 2008 exploration
drilling program and these targets will be followed up with the testing of a
third, "historical drillout" later this year.


Sale of Non-Core Assets

To focus resources on the Company's core Colorado operations, Bluerock entered
into an agreement to sell its Mongolian assets to Jindal Energy and Steel for
USD $1.3 million in June 2008. This transaction is expected to close in August
2008.


Also, exploration projects in the Orange Cliff and San Rafael Swell Districts of
Utah have been reassessed and deemed non-core assets within the Company's focus
of defining and developing near term uranium production. With this in mind, the
PSC, Herbie, On-Strike, Hidden Splendor, Ed/Sinbad, Big Fish and Little Fish
projects have all been returned to the option partners.


The 100% owned Mount Washington Claims and the 50% owned Betty Claims in British
Columbia were also deemed to be non-core assets and have been sold to a related
party. The Company received 75,000 BRD treasury shares for the transaction.


New Management Appointments

Bluerock is also pleased to announce the appointment of both Hal Richins and
Allan Founie to the company's subsidiary, Bluerock Energy Corp.


Hal Richins will become President and COO. Mr Richins graduated as a Mining
Engineer in 1979 and with an MBA in 1984. He comes to Bluerock from ASARCO LLC
where he held the position of Director of Mine Planning. Mr. Richins brings
strong mining organization and development experience that will be critical as
Bluerock works to grow its active mining operation from one uranium mine to
four. Stephen Glass has moved to CEO of Bluerock Energy Corp., where he will be
responsible for strategic corporate planning.


Allan Founie joins Bluerock Energy Corp. as Senior Geologist where he will be
responsible for all mine-site and exploration geology. Mr. Founie had previously
worked as a uranium geologist in the US and Paraguay with WildHorse Energy Ltd
and brings strong operational management skills to the Company.


"With the start of Uranium ore shipments from Bluerock's J-Bird Uranium Mine,
the Company is building a team that is clearly focused on developing and
expanding our Uravan and Lisbon Valley uranium mining projects. The additions of
two highly regarded and respected individuals in Hal and Allan will complement
Bluerock's development team and we very much look forward to working with these
two experienced individuals," said Bluerock President & CEO Michael Collins.
"These recent steps will ensure that the Company's full focus is on uranium
mining and production in support of the toll milling agreement with Denison
Mines (USA)."


(i) Ore, as stated in this news release, is defined as material that can be
mined and shipped to the White Mesa Uranium Mill under the Company's 'ore
purchase' agreement and/or toll milling agreement with the mill owner and
operator, Denison Mines (USA).


Bluerock Resources Ltd. is a uranium mining company focused on developing
tomorrow's energy today through the acquisition and development of conventional
uranium resources.
