WUC Western Uranium Corp.

Western Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WUC) ("the Company") is pleased to
announce that its wholly owned subsidiary , Meryllion Minerals Corporation
("Meryllion"), has acquired an option to purchase the Providencia silver-copper
prospect located in the Puna of northwestern Argentina.


The property comprises mineral concessions amounting to 3 000 hectares situated
4 200m above sea level and some 260 km by good road from San Salvador de Jujuy,
the capital of the Jujuy Province. It has access to gas pipelines, power lines,
railroad, as well as highway access to Chile relatively close by. The focus of
the project is the La Providencia silver deposit which was discovered in 1969
and which between 1986 and 1997 produced some five million ounces of silver from
ore grading between 400 g/t and 500 g/t Ag. 


The deposit is hosted by Plio-Pleistocene, poorly consolidated, continental
sediments, consisting of sandstones and conglomerates preserved in an 18 km-long
pull-apart basin within a basement of Ordovician clastic sediments; this basin
hosts a number of occurrences of what have previously been interpreted as
redbed-type copper (silver) mineralization. At the main La Providencia workings,
mineralization occurs in poorly consolidated conglomerate units. Mineralization
can be traced by mine workings (shallow pits) and drilling for at least 900m in
a north-south direction and is open to the north where it disappears under
younger unmineralized sedimentary cover. Mineralization is also open to the east
where it has been traced for some 400m in gently dipping units.


The property has received the attention of a number of companies, including St
Joe's, Shell, and Penoles. More recently, Cardero Resources completed a program
of exploration which included limited drilling of both diamond and RC holes.
While most of their work was concentrated on the concessions surrounding the
mine, three RC holes were completed at the mine. Hole PR-RC-03 collared within
the northern part of the South Pit at La Providencia intersected 1 710 g/t Ag at
218m and 1 675 g/t Ag at 222m down the hole. Mineralization at La Providencia
thus appears to be open along strike, laterally, and at depth, and Meryllion
believes that there is excellent potential to further define large tonnage,
open-pitable resources in the near surface environment as well as higher grade
mineralization at depth.


Under the terms of the option agreement, Meryllion has the right to acquire a
100% interest in the property by making an initial payment of USD 50 000 with
additional escalating option payments amounting to USD 1 000 000 over the next
60 months. The exercise fee is USD 950 000 if less than 50 million ounces of
resources have been delineated (as defined by a third-party, independent
consultant), or USD 1 950 000 if more than 50 million ounces of silver are
defined. 


The property is subject to an NSR of 1.5% with Meryllion having the option to
buy out the royalty. Meryllion is, in addition, committed to exploration
expenditures of USD 50 000 and USD 100 000 in the first and second years
respectively.
