Crosshair Anchors 4.5 Kilometer Uranium Mineralization Corridor

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (AMEX: CXZ) is pleased to announce that strong uranium mineralization has been intersected in several drill holes at Armstrong on its Central Mineral Belt (CMB) Uranium Property. Armstrong anchors the southern end of the 4.5 kilometer (km) long uranium mineralization corridor, which includes the C Zone and Area 1.

As a result of this exciting new discovery, a second drill has been mobilized to Armstrong in order to continue to define the mineralized zones, which remain open in all directions.

"Hitting uranium mineralization at Armstrong really solidifies the 4.5 km strike corridor. In addition to having an expanding C Zone resource at the northern end of the corridor, which has a current mineralized strike length of 1.5 km, we also have a developing zone in the middle at Area 1 (with a 600 m strike length) and now also a southern anchor with Armstrong, which is 1.1 km from Area 1," says Paul Hosford, President and COO of the Company. "The discovery of new zones of strong uranium mineralization at Armstrong is an important milestone for the Company."

A map showing the uranium mineralized corridor is posted on the Company website at: http://www.crosshairexploration.com/s/Armstrong.asp

All eight holes drilled in this zone at Armstrong intersected uranium mineralization. Highlights include:

Full DNC (delayed neutron count) assay results are expected in about six weeks.

(i) These grades are reported as equivalent uranium (eU3O8) as surveyed with a downhole radiometric probe that measures the amount of gamma radiation in the immediately adjacent rock, an indirect measure of the presence of uranium. The survey was carried out by Corwin Northcott, P.Geo., Geophysicist for the Company using a 2PGA-1000 Poly-Gamma probe with a MGXII logger console and motorized winch. The down hole logging equipment was manufactured by Mount Sopris Instruments and calibrated at the company's Grand Junction, Colorado facilities. Calibration was performed on August 23rd, 2007 in test pits with varying grades. Quality checks are preformed on the probes prior to surveying using uranium test sources containing a specified grade of uranium.

Probe highlights of all completed Armstrong holes along with current drill maps are posted on the Company website at: http://www.crosshairexploration.com/s/Armstrong.asp

About Crosshair

Crosshair is a dominant player in the exploration for uranium in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador-Canada's most promising emerging uranium district. The 755 sq km Central Mineral Belt Uranium Project is host to potentially three types of uranium mineralization - Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG - Olympic Dam), structurally controlled/shear zone and unconformity types of mineralization.

The Company's radiometric probe work on the CMB Uranium Project is supervised by Corwin Northcott, P.Geo., a member of the Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Geophysicist of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101. Mr. Northcott has verified that the probe results presented above have been accurately summarized. The Company's exploration work on the CMB Uranium Project is supervised by J. Wayne Pickett, P.Geo., a member of the Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Vice President Exploration of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101. Mr. Pickett has verified that the assay results presented above have been accurately summarized from the official assay certificates provided to the Company. A QA/QC program has been implemented consisting of standard, blank and duplicate samples.

Split drill core samples are being sent to Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, ON for analyses. Uranium analysis is performed by the delayed neutron counting (DNC) method, while multi-element analysis is performed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Samples that exceed the upper limit for uranium are re-assayed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF).
