Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SSE)(FRANKFURT:S6Q) and Universal Uranium Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:UUL) are pleased to announce an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Two Time Zone on the CMB NW property in the northwestern part of the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador. Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates (Scott Wilson RPA) has prepared a Mineral Resource estimate for the Two Time Zone using drill hole data available as of February 4, 2008. The Two Time drill hole database includes 40 diamond core holes (holes 1-23 and 25-41) totaling 10,928 metres, plus five surface trenches. The Mineral Resources are contained within eight zones, D101 though D108. At a cut-off grade of 0.03% U3O8, Indicated Mineral Resources are estimated to total 1.82 million tonnes grading 0.058% U3O8 containing 2.33 million pounds U3O8. Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated to total 3.16 million tonnes grading 0.053% U3O8 containing 3.73 million pounds U3O8. A set of cross sections and plan views were interpreted to construct three-dimensional wireframe models at a cut-off grade of 0.03% U3O8, and a minimum true thickness of four metres. These criteria reflect a potential underground bulk-mining scenario. High U3O8 grades were cut to 0.3% U3O8 prior to compositing to two metres. Variogram parameters were interpreted from two-metre composited assay values. Block model U3O8 grades within the wireframe models were estimated by ordinary kriging. Classification into the Indicated and Inferred categories was guided by the drill hole density, interpreted variogram ranges, and the apparent continuity of the mineralized zones. See Table 1, following, for details. The Two Time Zone was discovered during ground follow up of a regional radiometric survey in the fall of 2006 and was first drilled in December 2006. Drilling continued through 2007 and the resource definition program was completed on December 15, 2007. The Two Time Zone, like most of the CMB NW property, lies outside of lands administered by the Nunatsiavut government that are subject to the recently announced moratorium on uranium development. "We have come a long way since the discovery of the Two Time uranium zone in the fall of 2006, and now have the first "newly discovered" resource to be defined in the Central Mineral Belt since the 1970s," stated Lloyd Hillier, President and CEO of Silver Spruce. "These resources establish Silver Spruce and Universal Uranium as companies with a significant uranium deposit at the Two Time Zone. We look forward to increasing the size of the deposit and making further discoveries as we continue our follow up exploration." Infill diamond drilling and drilling to test the strike extensions and the down plunge extension of the Two Time Zone are planned for the second quarter of 2008. A second drill will focus on the Firestone Zone (see news release dated October 17, 2007) and other regional targets that have been generated on the CMB NW property. Table 1 summarizes the Mineral Resources estimated by Scott Wilson RPA. A table giving the significant results for the infill drilling for holes CMB-07-25 to 41 and the plan maps and sections for the drilling on the Two Time Zone can be viewed on the Silver Spruce and Universal Uranium websites: www.silverspruceresources.com and www.universaluranium.com.

CIM definitions were followed for mineral resources. 2. The cut-off grade of 0.03% U3O8 was estimated using a U3O8 price of US$65/lb and assumed operating costs. 3. Grade-shell wireframes at 0.03% U3O8 and a minimum true thickness of four metres were used to constrain the grade interpolation. 4. High U3O8 grades were cut to 0.3% prior to compositing to two-metre lengths. 5. Several blocks less than 0.03% U3O8 were included for continuity or to expand the lenses to the four metre minimum true thickness. All uranium analyses are performed by Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario, an approved, accredited laboratory, using the delayed neutron activation technique (DNC), which gives accurate results for samples carrying up to 1.0% uranium. In addition, samples are analysed using an ICP technique that gives good results for most other elements, including Thorium. A quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program, described on the companies' websites, has been implemented by the Silver Spruce/Universal Uranium joint venture to increase confidence in the results generated. ABOUT THE CMB NW PROPERTY The CMB NW block is part of the Silver Spruce (SSE)/Universal Uranium (UUL) CMB/Seal Lake joint venture previously announced. The property is held 60% by UUL and 40% by SSE.
