GUINEA URANIUM EXPLORATION LICENCES UPDATE

Murchison United NL ("Murchison" or "The Company") (ASX:MUR, AIM:MUU) is pleased
to announce that it has been granted two additional Exploration permits by the
Republic of Guinea covering an additional 584 square kilometres. As previously
advised the Company held six exploration permits over three separate concessions
known as Firawa, Bohodou and Sesse. Based on work to date in the Firawa and
Bohodou concessions Mr Bosse Gustafsson, Exploration Manager, was keen to secure
prospective areas adjacent to the initial permitted areas. As such application
was made and permits granted covering an additional 108 square kilometres to the
Bohodou concession (now totals 1081.32 square kilometres) and an additional 476
square kilometres to the Firawa concession (now totals 1,516 square kilometres).

In addition, based on field work undertaken by Mr Gustafsson the licences have
been extended to include Rare Earth Elements. As such all permits in Guinea
include Uranium and Rare Earth Minerals and their associated minerals but
exclude gold, diamonds and their associated minerals
