Western Uranium Corporation Announces Preliminary Drill Results From Kings Valley

Western Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WUC) ("the Company") announces that
follow-up drilling in the Albisu area at the northern end of the Kings Valley
Project has intercepted widespread low-grade gold mineralization. From May
through the end of June, the Company has completed eleven core holes for a total
of 3,320 meters in the area of ALB-04. ALB-04 intercepted 12 grams of gold over
1.5 metres from 103.7m to 105.2m and 41 metres from 154.0m to 195.1m that
averaged 0.66 g/t gold (Press release October 29, 2008). Drilling has
intercepted geochemically anomalous and intensely altered volcanic rocks
suggesting a large mineralizing system has been active in the area. Incomplete
assay results have been received for a number of the holes. The results received
to date are highly encouraging and given the widespread nature and continuity of
the gold mineralization suggests that more prospective areas of the system may
not have been identified to date.


Low grade, wide intercepts of gold with scattered narrower zones of higher grade
have been encountered in many of the holes. The gold occurs in hydrothermally
altered brecciated volcanic rocks that exhibit strong argillization,
silicification and sulphide veining characteristic of high level epithermal
systems. Occurring with the gold and throughout the holes are geochemically
elevated intervals of silver, arsenic, cobalt, chromium, mercury, molybdenum,
and vanadium. Additional field work is underway to re-evaluate the surface
geology using the data from the drilling to assist in better defining potential
mineralizing controls to focus the next phase of drilling.


PARTIAL RESULTS are listed below with additional results to follow in 4-6 weeks.

Although the levels of gold are low, the widespread elevated levels of gold
along with the other elements that are elevated above background levels suggest
that with additional exploration a gold discovery may be possible.


WUC QA/QC Program

Quality Control and Assurance for all sampling projects at Kings Valley is under
the direction of Mr. John Rice a Qualified Person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101 standards. Core samples are collected daily from the drill
site and transported back to the field office where WUC personnel photograph
each box. WUC geologists then log the core noting rock types and alteration. The
core is then split and packaged in sealed heavy weight polyethylene bags. Core
samples are delivered by WUC employees to American Assay Laboratories located in
Sparks, Nevada.


American Assay Laboratory's quality control system complies with the
requirements for the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025:1999.
Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the use of reagent blanks,
reference samples, and sample duplicates. Additionally, WUC selects duplicate
samples which are then submitted to a third party lab for separate confirmation
analysis.
