Western Uranium Begins Drill Program at Kings Valley

Western Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WUC) ("the Company" or "WUC") is
pleased to announce that drilling will commence on the Kings Valley Project in
Nevada on July 6th. This drill program will be focused on testing a strong
geophysical anomaly that occurs west of the area between the North and South
zones of known uranium mineralization (Figures 1 and 2). Although the area does
not return highly anomalous uranium in rock chip samples at surface, copper and
gold have been detected up to 0.9% copper and 0.25 g/t gold in silicified
granodiorite and 500 ppm copper and 18 ppb gold in propylitized granodiorite.
Stream sediment samples west of the identified anomaly also yielded anomalous
copper values. The geophysical anomaly has coincident strong resistivity, high
chargeability readings (IP) and a magnetite destructive signature. All three are
the type of signatures that may be associated with porphyry style
mineralization. The interpretation of the geophysical data suggests that
potential altered or mineralized rock is near surface. A drilling program of
6-10 angle holes averaging 250 meters in depth is planned and permitted. Drill
pad and road construction are underway.


In addition to the survey that identified the aforementioned target a survey
grid was also run over the area of known uranium mineralization at the North
Zone. The re-evaluation of the Chevron data coupled with the WUC IP survey over
the North Zone suggests previous drilling by Chevron and WUC may not have
adequately tested the strongest IP anomalies. A drill test of this area is
planned when approval of the Plan of Operation covering this location is
received from the BLM.


A comprehensive review of the Chevron Resources IP survey data from the late
1970's and early 1980's showed that IP/Resistivity was an effective tool for
targeting uranium by identifying sulfides that are associated with
mineralization. The surveys completed by WUC this past spring support this
hypothesis and additional surveys are planned elsewhere on the property. These
surveys will focus on the area between Horse Canyon and Lone Willow Springs.
These areas lie to the east of known mineralization at the North to South Zones
and are on top of the caldera. Additional drill programs are planned for fourth
quarter of 2010.
