Western Uranium Provides Baza Project Update

Western Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WUC) ("the Company") provides a
material update regarding Baza Project in Spain. An administrative error in
filing an application for the renewal on one of the Company's permits for the
Baza Project has resulted in the cancellation of that permit. The area in
question covers approximately 1400 hectares of the overall 16000 hectares
covered by the various permits held by the Company. 


Actions are being arranged to correct the situation. This may require the
Company to reapply for the permit in a public bid and it is anticipated that the
entire process will take approximately six months to complete. While there is no
certainty of success, the Company anticipates the permit situation will be
resolved satisfactorily and work will again resume in the canceled area once the
issue is resolved. In the interim, work will be ongoing in the other areas of
the Project.


The data from the recently completed airborne geophysical program that covered
the entire project area is being processed and incorporated with geological and
geochemical data. Results from this will be used in planning future ground
programs and assisting in delineating drill targets. Drilling of two core holes
has been completed. Until the issue of the canceled permit area is resolved,
core from these holes will not be analyzed.
