"The closing of the transaction marks a significant milestone for Titan Uranium," stated Brian Reilly, President and CEO.

Titan Uranium Inc.

Titan is driven by advancing exploration projects to discovery in the proven Athabasca and prospective Thelon basins located in Saskatchewan and Nunavut, respectively. Titan has gained market recognition for its ability to attract strategic partners to participate in exploration on its properties by virtue of its 1.6 million acre land position and its technical expertise. The option agreement participants of Titan include: Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), Vale Exploration Canada Inc. (VEC), and Mega Uranium Ltd. These optionees are expected to contribute $4.7 million in exploration programs managed by Titan in 2009.

This business combination with UPC adds a number of highly prospective properties, mainly in the United States, to Titan's portfolio. Prime among these is a 50% interest in the Sheep Mountain deposit which has an NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource (on a 100% basis) of:

4,560,000 tons, average grade of 0.17% eU3O8 (15.6 million lbs contained U3O8)

This resource estimate was reported in a technical report on the Sheep Mountain uranium project, prepared for UPC by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. and authored by C. Stewart Wallis, P. Geo. dated October 10, 2006. Additional information including the estimation method and cut-off grade may be found in the report which was filed on SEDAR on October 12, 2006. The Sheep Mountain deposit has a current Mine Permit issued by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. Several minor amendments to this permit will be required to reopen the mine.
