Waseco Updates Uranium Exploration Program

Waseco Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WRI)(FRANKFURT:WSE) has received and reviewed
a Technical Report entitled "The Evaluation of the Uranium Potential of the
Waseco Properties- Block IV (Lac Fenster) and Block V (Lac Pons) in the Labrador
Trough, Quebec, Canada". 


Waseco and Areva Quebec Inc. are exploring four separate claim blocks comprised
of the DuPortage Property (Blocks I & II), Lac Drumlin (Block III), Lac Fenster
(Block IV) and Lac Pons (Block V). This Report is on Blocks IV & V. 


In 2008 and 2009, Areva conducted reconnaissance programs within these blocks.
These were designed to review the geological findings of prior years in order to
evaluate the uranium potential of the sedimentary sequences and establish new
models for orienting future work programs. 


Regionally, Waseco's Blocks IV & V are near properties held by Azimut
Exploration Inc. and Virginia Mines Inc. Other companies (Fission Energy Corp.,
Fancamp Exploration Ltd. and Sheridan Platinum Group Ltd.) are grouped around
the known uranium deposits at Dieter Lake, which has reported estimated
resources of 19.7 Mt grading 0.049% U3O8. 


According to Uranerz Exploration & Mining Ltd. geologists (Genrisch et al.,
1982), the Dieter Lake deposit's location and the grades of the mineralized
zones are controlled by NE-SW faults. This control model has not yet been
adequately tested on Waseco's Blocks IV and V by the prior exploration work or
by the sampling carried out during the reconnaissance program.


It should be noted that these faults were active before, during, and after the
deposit of the Sakami Formation mineralization at Dieter Lake. As a result,
these structures are of major importance in the deposition of uranium
mineralization. 




Dr Ivanov, the author of the Report recommends testing by detailed ground   
work, focused on, in order of importance:                                   

--  at Lac Fenster: one zone on the south border at the base of the
    fractured granite, which is in the centre of the Sakami Formation; and 
--  at Lac Pons: a zone of discordance which borders on the south of the
    Sakami Formation.           

The recommended program is a combination of the following:                  

--  geophysical vertical profiles (electromagnetic, electric resistivity and
    conductivity) to a depth of at least 400m, spaced at 100-200m intervals;
--  drilling at 60 degrees, to depths of 150m-250m; 
--  geophysical probing of the hole (radiometric, magnetic, electric
    resistance and conductivity); 
--  geochemical analysis of the core. 



The Technical Report was prepared by Dr. Gennady Ivanov, Chief Project Geologist
for AREVA Quebec, Inc. and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Both Mr. Ivanov
and Mr. A.C.A. Howe, on behalf of the Company, have reviewed the contents of
this release for scientific accuracy. A copy of the full Technical Report has
been posted on the company's web site at www.wasecoresources.com


It should be noted that the majority of the field work carried out in 2009 was
at Waseco's DuPortage Property (Blocks I & II). A report on the results of this
program is still pending.
