“NWT Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: NWT; OTCBB: NWURF) is pleased to announce initial assay results from rock grab samples collected in July 2007 during ground evaluation work at the North Rae Uranium Project in the Ungava Bay region of northern Quebec, Canada. The results confirm uranium mineralization associated with previously identified high-priority radioactive targets. NWT’s exploration model focuses on high-tonnage, near-surface uranium targets amenable to open-pit mining.
“Our ongoing work at North Rae has confirmed the presence of uranium, providing further evidence of the area’s potential to host a new uranium district,” said Marek J. Kreczmer, President and CEO of NWT Uranium. “While our work to date has returned some high-grade uranium values of up to 0.64% U3O8 from rock grab samples, we are particularly encouraged by the fact that a significant number of these results fall in the range of known deposits in Namibia. This same type of large, near-surface deposit with potential to be recovered by low-cost bulk mining methods is exactly what we are targeting at North Rae.”
Initial Rock Sample Results
Assay results from 234 widely spaced surface rock grab samples collected at the Tasialuk, Tasik, Jonas, Aqpiq, Ilaluga, 46, Rae-1 (Amittujaq) and Torrent zones and adjacent areas reveal values of up to 0.64% U3O8. Of these 234 samples, a total of 78 returned values over 0.012% U3O8 (100 ppm uranium). All samples are widely spaced, which underscores the regional nature of the mineralized system.
At Tasialuk, 27 of 108 samples reveal uranium values over 0.012% U3O8, including a proximal boulder that returned a value of 0.192% U3O8 and a grab sample that returned 0.09% U3O8. The zone covers a total length of 2,624 feet (800 meters).
Assay results from the Tasik zone reveal values of up to 0.151% U3O8. Of these 64 samples, a total of 17 returned values over 0.012% U3O8. The 17 samples cover a 2,624-foot (800-meter) area.
At Jonas, four of seven samples returned uranium values over 0.012% U3O8, including two samples that returned 0.64% and 0.27% U3O8 respectively. The four samples are distributed over a total length of 820 feet (250 meters). At Aqpiq, one of two grab samples returned a value of 0.113% U3O8.
Samples from the Ilaluga zone were also evaluated, with seven of 16 samples returning values above 0.012% U3O8, including one sample that returned 0.035% U3O8. The seven samples are distributed over a total length of 4,068 feet (1,240 meters). At zone 46, one of two grab samples returned a value of 0.05% U3O8.
Ten of 11 samples from the Rae-1 (Amittujaq) zone recorded values over 0.012% U3O8, with four samples returning 0.218%, 0.195%, 0.094% and 0.093% U3O8 respectively. The 10 samples cover a total length of 7,873 feet (2,400 meters).
At Torrent, 10 of 18 samples returned uranium values above 0.012% U3O8, including one sample that returned 0.1% U3O8. The 10 samples are distributed over a total length of 2,700 feet (822 meters).
In these eight zones, uranium values are related to pegmatitic dykes as individual dykes or dyke swarms in contact with gneissic rocks (sulphide-bearing paragneiss, granitic gneiss). The dykes are sub-horizontal and sub-vertical to steeply dipping. Yellow minerals, likely resulting from the superficial
alteration of primary uranium-bearing minerals, have been observed on four of these zones. A map showing the location of the eight zones will be made available on the NWT Uranium web site at www.northwestmineral.com.
The table below provides details of samples that returned values above 0.018% U3O8 (150 ppm uranium).

Additional rock sample results from the 2007 ground exploration program will be announced as they are received and compiled.
Some of the assays returned were below the detection limits of the analytical techniques used to analyze samples. Six samples were collected in areas adjacent to the zones listed above.
In total, eight NQ diamond drill holes covering 1,843 feet (562 meters) were completed before the early onset of winter conditions in the Ungava Bay region. The program was concluded for the season in the first week of October, more than one month earlier than NWT had originally scheduled, because of adverse weather conditions. It is also unsafe for NWT’s helicopter pilots to fly in this weather, which makes it impossible to move the drill from location to location.
Sites tested in this initial phase of drilling include recently identified radioactive targets and other high-priority areas in three zones - Tasik, Tasialuk and Jonas. The aim of the program was to test uranium spectrometric anomalies, yellow alteration mineral occurrences and areas that have returned anomalous uranium values. Drilling was being conducted by Forage à Diamant Benoit Ltée of Val d’Or, Quebec.
NWT has the right to earn up to 65% ownership of North Rae from Azimut Exploration Inc., as announced in a press release dated March 6, 2006.
Quality Assurance
Grab samples from all zones, collected during 2007 ground evaluation, were submitted to Saskatchewan Research Council of Saskatoon for analysis using aqua regia partial digestion followed by ICP. Industry standard Quality Control/Quality Assurance protocols have been implemented, including insertion of certified reference material for drill core samples.”
