Mega Uranium Provides Update on Exploration Activity in the Wernecke Uranium District, Yukon

Tuesday June 26, 11:37 am ET


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - June 26, 2007) - Mega Uranium Ltd. (TSX:MGA - News; "Mega") provides the following update on exploration activity in the Wernecke Uranium District, Yukon, as provided by its joint venture partner, Cash Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CHX - News; "Cash Minerals").

Odie Property

Cash Minerals has advised that, as of June 26, 2007, Cash Minerals has drilled more than 4,000 metres, of which 2,700 metres were drilled at the Odie property. Native copper has been intersected in Hole Two (2007-OD-06), which is approximately 135 metres southwest of Hole One (2007-OD-01R) where intersections of native copper were initially encountered and reported on May 15, 2007. When completed, a total of six holes will have been drilled at the Odie property.

Cash Minerals advised that the native copper mineralization encountered in 2007-OD-1R appears to occur in association with significant veining and chlorite alteration. Hole 2007-OD-1R tested the A1 target, which is manifested as a coupled magnetic and gravimetric anomaly. Further drilling on the target is continuing to test the nature of the anomaly with two drill holes. Geochemical analyses from 2007-OD-1R have confirmed visual observations in the drill core. These data show the presence of two anomalously copper (Cu)-rich intervals between 483.7 and 537.0 metres, and 545 and 560 metres. The upper zone also includes a 16.55 metre section at 0.14 % Cu (518.90 -535.45 metres) within which occurs a higher grade interval of 0.27 % Cu over 3.7 metres between 522.0 and 525.7 metres. Gold, up to 0.33 ppm, also occurs in anomalous concentrations within zones of elevated copper.

Igor Property

Cash Minerals advised that upon completion of drilling at Odie, the two drill rigs will be moved to the Igor property where drilling is scheduled to commence by late June. In the interim, a third drill rig will be moved to the Igor property and will commence drilling within a week. The three drill rigs will deliver a suite of holes at Igor to test a significant copper-rich U308 intersection discovered in 2005, which resulted in 0.07% U3O8 and 1.88% copper over 74.44 metres, as well as a gravimetric anomaly identified during the 2006 exploration season.

Lumina Property

Cash Minerals further advises that at Lumina, one of two properties identified for resource definition, drilling is on schedule and is fully operational. Two drill rigs are currently operating, and are targeting regions that yielded excellent results during the 2006 drill program. A key objective in phase one of drilling at Lumina is to drill a series of follow-up holes, at depth, and to the south of the Jack Flash showing to test the continuity and extent of uranium mineralization encountered in 2006. Phase two of drilling is planned to test a series of targets north of Jack Flash. In this northern area, the hydrothermal system appears to be associated with a north-trending structure, which is more than 6 kilometres in length. Initial steps would include assessing the Jack Flash boulder train, which was found to contain an average of 1.44% (32 pounds) U3O8 per tonne over 1.4 km (see press release dated October 12, 2005).

Bear River Camp

Finally, Cash Minerals informs that the Bear River camp is the primary staging area for exploration being conducted at the Vic, Angel, Bond, Bonnie, Nad, Doh and Win properties, the majority of which were discovered during the 2006 exploration season. One drill will test a series of targets identified from geophysics, soil sampling and mapping. A 16 person geological team is conducting this field work. The Bear River camp will be utilized by airborne and ground geophysical crews. In addition, specialist crews have been retained to conduct additional staking, which includes infill staking between the Igor and Win properties.
