Western Uranium Provides Baza Project Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
Western Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE: WUC) ("Western" or "the
Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Baza gold-copper project
located in southeastern Spain midway between Granada and Almeria.
Drilling of approximately 3000 meters of core is scheduled to commence
mid-April and will provide a first pass drill test of two areas: Cerro
del Gallo and El Valenciano. This project represents a large regional
exploration play covering an area 25 kilometers in strike by 10
kilometers in width. Extensive anomalous gold and copper is found at
surface in shears and veins exposed in historical small scale iron mines.
Anomalous mineralization is also found in outcrops throughout the project
in areas where no evidence of past small scale mining is present. Despite
having numerous widespread surface indications of anomalous copper and
gold mineralization, the area has never been explored using modern
exploration techniques. Since entering into the earn-in agreement with
AuEx Ventures Ltd. in October 2009, Western has focused exploration on
identifying mineralizing controls on what is an enigmatic geologic
setting. Various workers have suggested the area exhibits features found
associated with iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) systems, yet other workers
suggests the style of mineralization is related to an epithermal system.

To date, 133 rock and channel samples have been collected over the area
at the Cerro del Gallo target. Forty-four samples have returned values
greater than 1 g/t gold with a high of 19 g/t and 51 have returned over
0.5 g/t gold. Of the 133 samples, 87 returned values greater than 1000
ppm copper and 47 yielded values greater than 5000 ppm copper. At El
Valenciano values for 39 rock and trench samples have been received from
this area. Of these samples 17 have returned values greater than 0.1 g/t
gold with eight samples returning greater than 0.5 g/t gold. Copper is
strongly anomalous in this location and 20, or over 50% of the samples
have returned values greater than 5000 ppm, with 12 samples returning
over 1.0% copper values.

At Cerro del Gallo (CdG) detailed mapping and sampling along with ground
magnetic and gradient array IP geophysical surveys have been conducted to
assist in identifying mineralizing controls and selecting drill targets.
These geophysical surveys have successfully highlighted the strike length
of known mineralized structures at CdG and identified two strong magnetic
susceptibility responses two kilometers to the north of known
mineralization Initial interpretation by a contract geophysicist of the
gradient array survey suggests sulfide mineralization may be present in
the surrounding host rocks (schists, quartzites, and siltstones). The IP
response values are above normal values returned for these rocks and may
be attributable to sulfides in concentrations up to 5%. The samples and
ground geophysical surveys are from an area a nine square kilometer area
which represents only one target in the overall 250 square kilometers
covered by the project. Five to six core holes are planned as a first
pass test at Cerro del Gallo with drilling tentatively scheduled to begin
April 12th. Following drilling at CdG the equipment will be moved to El
Valenciano for drill testing.

El Valenciano is located approximately 2 km to the southwest of Cerro del
Gallo. Due to time constraints only mapping and sampling have been
undertaken at El Valenciano but the area will be covered by the airborne
DIGHEM EM geophysical survey scheduled for May that will cover the entire
250 square kilometers of the project. Mineralizing controls at El
Valenciano appear to be similar but in addition to the high angle
structures, recent trenching uncovered a mineralized, low angle structure
that is at least 2 meters thick. Due to the silicification of what may
have been a limestone bed, the backhoe was unable to cut deeper and
determine the total thickness of the altered structure. Samples have been
taken from this trench and submitted for analyses. The significance of a
mineralized low angle structure is the suggestion that stratabound gold
and copper mineralization may also present another type of target. Work
to date has identified mineralization over an area 1km x 1km that with
additional work will likely expand. A five to six core hole drill test
will commence following the completion of the last drill hole at Cerro
del Gallo.

The two areas selected for drilling represent a small portion of the
overall project area and additional geologic mapping and sampling has
continued to identify numerous additional localities within the project
boundary that also warrant drill testing in future phases of the program.
Mapping and sampling 6 kilometers south-east of the initial drill areas
has recently identified an intermediate-felsic dyke that demonstrates
clear evidence of its association with silicification and copper-arsenic
mineralization. The silicification included thin, open-space fillings of
chalcedonic silica containing copper, iron and arsenic sulfide specks.
The specks of copper and arsenic sulfides are found in both the altered
dyke and in the chalcedonic veins. These veins are similar in appearance
to material found in the throat of epithermal related systems. Samples
from this dyke have been taken and submitted for geochemical analyses;
most results are pending but one expedited sample yielded 0.97 g/t gold
and 0.362% copper.

The extent and persistence of alteration, mineralization and the fact
that this project has not been drill tested continues to confirm the
Company's decision to enter into this agreement with AuEx Ventures Ltd.
to expand into gold and copper exploration. These opportunities are
infrequent in this day and age and it is rare to find a project of this
merit in a country that has been explored by a number of major companies
throughout the years that has not been subjected to modern exploration
techniques.
