U3O8 Corp. cuts 14 metres at 0.106% (2.1 pounds per short ton) U3O8 at Aricheng South Assay results from an additional ten holes confirm that uranium mineralization is open in all directions and expand the resource potential at Aricheng South

Toronto, Ontario – October 30, 2008 – U3O8 Corp. (TSX Venture: UWE), a Canadian uranium exploration company, reports significant intercepts of uranium mineralization from an additional ten holes drilled in the Aricheng South breccia zone in the Kurupung Batholith, located in the basement near the Roraima Basin in Guyana (Figure 1). These assay results confirm the continuity of mineralized shoots within the host structure, which remain open along strike and at depth, and extend the resource potential at Aricheng South. A total of 87 bore holes for 15,800 metres have now been completed at Aricheng South. “These latest results from Aricheng South contribute to a body of evidence that suggests a strong similarity in grade, distribution and geology to the sizeable Michelin uranium deposit in Labrador. Like Michelin, uranium at Aricheng South is located in basement rocks and is concentrated in mineralized shoots that are enclosed by albite alteration,” said Dr. Richard Spencer, U3O8 Corp’s President and CEO. “The additional drill data has been delivered to the independent consulting company that is conducting the initial resource estimate on Aricheng South, which is on schedule for release in December, 2008.” Dr. Spencer continued, “In light of current capital market conditions, we have rationalized our exploration programs to conserve cash while maintaining momentum on key projects aimed at delivering near term value.

About U3O8 Corp.

U3O8 Corp. is focused on exploration and development of uranium resources and associated commodities in South America. The company’s uranium resources comprise three deposits defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 located in Argentina, Colombia and Guyana:

  • Laguna Salada Deposit, Argentina – a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) shows this near surface, free-digging uranium-vanadium deposit is potentially amenable to low-cost mining and processing methods;
  • Berlin Deposit, Colombia – a PEA shows that Berlin could be a potential low-cost uranium project thanks to revenue from by-products of phosphate, vanadium, nickel, rare earths (yttrium and neodymium) and other metals occurring in the same deposit; and
  • Kurupung Deposit, Guyana – an initial uranium deposit in a large emerging uranium district.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information in this release are forward-looking statements with respect to the development plans, economic potential and growth targets of U3O8 Corp’s current projects. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intensions for the future, and include, but not limited to, statements with respect to: (a) the low-cost, near-term development and resource goal of Laguna Salada, (b) the Laguna Salada and Berlin PEAs, (c) resources being defined on the provincial petroleum and mining company’s concessions and a future joint venture, (d) the market opportunities for uranium in Argentina and internationally, and (e) the potential of the Kurupung district in Guyana. Basis for such assumptions include that: (i) actual results of our exploration, resource goals, metallurgical testing, economic studies and development activities will continue to be positive and proceed as planned, and assumptions in the Laguna Salada and Berlin PEAs prove to be accurate, (ii) a joint venture will be formed with the provincial petroleum and mining company, (iii) requisite regulatory and governmental approvals will be received on a timely basis on terms acceptable to U3O8 Corp., and (iv) economic, political and industry market conditions will be favourable. However, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or developments to differ materially from those contained in the statements, including, but not limited to: (1) that a mine will be achieved on the Laguna Salada Project in compliance with current Chubut law, (2) that a joint venture will be established with the provincial petroleum and mining company, (3) that a mine will be achieved on the Berlin Deposit and other exploration projects, (4) that beneficiation test work will continue to be favourable and results from small scale metallurgical testing can be duplicated on a larger scale, (5) the inherent uncertainties and speculative nature associated with exploration results, resource estimates, potential resource growth, future metallurgical test results, changes in project parameters as plans evolve, (6) volatility of commodity prices; (7) dependence on regulatory approvals and changes in legislation, environmental compliance, community support and the political and economic climate, (8) availability of future financing, and (9) exploration risk and other factors beyond the control of U3O8 Corp. including those factors set out in the “Risk Factors” in our Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. U3O8 Corp. assumes no obligation to update such information, except as may be required by law. For more information on the above-noted PEAs, refer to the September 18, 2014 technical report titled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Laguna Salada Uranium-Vanadium Deposit, Chubut Province, Argentina” and the January 18, 2013 technical report titled “U3O8 Corp. Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Berlin Deposit, Colombia.”
