Western Uranium Corporation Provides Update on Status of Formation of Western Lithium Corporation

Western Uranium Corporation (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:WUC) is pleased to
provide an update on the status of the proposed spin out of its lithium assets
located on the Company's Kings Valley property in Nevada, into a newly
incorporated, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company: Western Lithium
Corporation (WLC). The current plan would be to distribute the shares of Western
Lithium Corporation to WUC shareholders following the completion of a number of
steps designed to meet the various regulatory requirements for a public listing
on an appropriate Canadian exchange. The company is anticipating the transaction
will be completed by December 2007.


The company has contracted AMEC Engineering to review and provide a NI 43-101
qualified report to verify previous work on the project that was undertaken by
Chevron Resources in the early 1980's and based upon those results generate a
preliminary estimate of value for the asset. The report is nearing completion
and will be finalized once the confirmation drilling and metallurgical testing
program is complete. The company intends to commence the drilling program within
the next two weeks and has received all permits necessary to undertake this
work. Drill site preparation is currently underway. This program will consist of
completing 3 large diameter core holes to twin holes previously drilled by
Chevron. The core samples from these holes will be used for grade verification
and for metallurgical testing. Hazen Research has been contracted to undertake
the metallurgical tests which will utilize a process previously developed by
Chevron for extracting the lithium metal from the host rock. The lithium is
hosted in bentonite or swelling clay known as hectorite where lithium ions
occupy mineral sites normally held by other elements such as magnesium. In
addition to the metallurgical program, six to eight holes will be drilled for
condemnation drilling to ascertain that the area does not host uranium
mineralization.


The lithium resources were defined by Chevron Resources in the early 1980's
during an extensive drilling and metallurgical evaluation program. Chevron
completed 173 holes that were a combination of auger, conventional rotary and
large diameter metallurgical diamond core holes over an area approximately 40
kms by 6 kms. The lithium averages a grade of 0.279% Li over an average
thickness of 40 meters with the mineralized horizon beginning at or near the
surface. Using the data from this program Chevron calculated a resource of 8
billion pounds of lithium metal or 42 billion pounds of lithium carbonate were
estimated that are hosted in 5 separate pods along the western portion of the
McDermitt Caldera. This is a historical resource figure calculated by Chevron
Resources. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the
historical estimate as current mineral resources. The issuer is not treating the
historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate
should not be relied upon. The resource is not considered NI 43-101 compliant.
Chevron conducted extensive metallurgical tests as part of a scoping study and
succeeded in achieving recoveries that averaged 85%. Lithium carbonate is
currently priced at approximately $3.60 per pound.


The Transaction

The spin-out transaction will be completed pursuant to a plan of arrangement and
will be subject to regulatory approval and approval by not less than two-thirds
of the votes cast at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company that
will be called to approve the transaction. Full details of the proposed
transaction will be included in the information circular to be sent to WUC
shareholders in connection with the special meeting.


The Kings Valley lithium assets to be conveyed to Western Lithium Corporation
are not core to WUC's plans, which are focused on the development of the uranium
assets in Kings Valley. The lithium assets will be conveyed to Western Lithium
Corporation under an agreement which will provide that Western Lithium
Corporation will have the right to explore for, develop and mine the lithium
assets, subject to the Company's rights to develop the uranium resource, which
will have priority.


The Company has engaged Haywood Securities Inc. as its financial advisors to
assist with the spin-out transaction and to provide advice with respect to the
structure and financing of the new entity.


Financing

In conjunction with the listing of the shares of the newly incorporated entity,
it is intended that Haywood will be engaged as agent in respect of an equity
financing, by private placement. Western Lithium Corporation management may
arrange a rights offering, allowing WUC shareholders to participate in the
initial financing of WUC. Funds raised will be used for exploration,
development, market research and general corporate purposes. The financing is
expected to be in the range of $10 million and is also subject to regulatory
approval.


Lithium Supply and Demand

One of the primary uses of lithium today is in lithium ion batteries for cell
phones, laptop computers and other electronic devices that require maximum
storage capacity with minimum weight. The overall lithium carbonate market
consumed approximately 80,000 tonnes in 2005 and projections suggest the market
will consume 100,000 tonnes in 2008. Longer-term growth will depend on the
market penetration achieved by hybrid and electric cars over the next decade as
lithium-ion batteries are currently the battery of choice in these applications.
Toyota Motors, the largest hybrid car manufacturer plans to increase sales of
hybrid vehicles to over 1 million units by 2010 and to replace nickel metal
hydride batteries by lithium ion products by the end of the decade.


The industry is currently characterized by a high degree of concentration of
production with over two-thirds of world production coming from Chile and
Australia. SQM of Chile produced 27,800 tonnes of lithium carbonate in 2005
which was approximately 35% of world production.
