“NWT Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: NWT; OTCBB: NWURF) today announced additional assay results from rock grab samples collected during ground evaluation work at the North Rae Uranium Project in the Ungava Bay region of northern Quebec, Canada. Of note, samples taken near the northern limits of the property reveal uranium mineralization approximately 5.3 miles (8.5 kilometers) north of previously identified zones. The results underscore the regional nature of the system and further support NWT’s exploration model, which is targeting a high-tonnage, near-surface uranium deposit amenable to open-pit mining. North Rae is under option from Azimut Exploration Inc.
“These latest results confirm the potential of North Rae as a world-class uranium discovery,” said Marek J. Kreczmer, President and CEO of NWT Uranium. “We are encouraged that results continue to fall in the range of known deposits in Namabia. In addition, the presence of uranium mineralization this far to the north of the main zones we have identified to date illustrates the regional scope of the mineralized system that is underlying North Rae. We look forward to advancing North Rae and the adjacent Daniel Lake projects in 2008.”
Results
Assay results from 27 widely spaced surface rock grab samples collected from the southern portion of the Tasik zone, the Torrent zone and areas located near North Rae’s northern property boundary reveal values of up to 0.89% U3O8. Of these 27 samples, a total of 23 returned values over 0.01% U3O8, including nine with values over 0.1% U3O8. All samples are widely spaced, underscoring the regional nature of the mineralized system.
At Tasik, 8 of 23 samples reveal uranium values over 0.1% U3O8. The 23 samples were collected from an area measuring 328 x 492 feet (100 x 150 meters). Uranium values at Tasik are related to a series of pegmatic dykes injected in gneissic rocks (sulphide-bearing paragneiss, granitic gneiss).
The two samples taken near North Rae’s northern limits returned values of 0.113% and 0.044% U308. These results confirm the presence of uranium 5.3 miles (8.5 kilometers) north of previously identified zones of mineralization.
The table below provides details of samples that returned values above 0.1% U3O8.

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.
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.
Other assay results from North Rae were detailed in press releases dated November 19, 2007 and October 16, 2007, which are available at www.nwturanium.com.
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
Samples were collected at surface or near surface after small blasting using the Boulder Buster technique (average sampling depth of 30cm).”
