Uranium Hunter Completes Aerial Survey on Tanzania Ruhuhu Uranium Project Preliminary Data Very Promising for Significant Uranium Find; Renewed Interest in Uranium Likely to Drive Prices Higher TORONTO--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 21, 2008 -- Uranium Hunter Corporation (OTC BB:URHN.OB - News) ("Uranium
Hunter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the
company's
helicopter airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, conducted
by New
Resolution Geophysics ("NRG") of South Africa, has concluded.
The 1000 line
kilometer survey flown over the Ruhuhu Concession, which
is considered one
of the most promising uranium sites in the world, aimed
to delineate
uranium present in the area. Preliminary data appears very
promising. The
final geophysical interpretation of the data will be completed
by GAP
Geophysics of South Africa and the results will be released
in the near
future. Presidential Candidate, Senator John McCain, a long time promoter of nuclear energy, said recently on the campaign trail that he wanted to see 45 new nuclear reactors built in the U.S. by 2030 with an ultimate goal of 100 new reactors. In the U.S. there are currently 104 reactors providing 20 percent of the electrical power for the Country; no new reactors have been built since the '70s. "China, Russia and India are all planning to build more than a hundred new power plants among them in the coming decades," Mr. McCain said. "Across Europe there are 197 reactors in operation, and nations including France and Belgium derive more than half their electricity from nuclear power. And if all of these nations can find a way to carry out great goals in energy policy, then I assure you that the United States is more than equal to the challenge." Ghaith Qamheiah, President of Uranium Hunter, commented, "Recent strengthening in the price of uranium is encouraging. We are seeing a strong renewal of interest in our market for Uranium exploration. With all these new reactors being built over the coming years, we expect to see the demand and price of uranium appreciate considerably. We are now well positioned to capitalize on this demand and expect our results to reflect positively in our Company's bottom line. Once all the results of the airborne surveys are complete, we will release additional information to our shareholders and the investment world." Uranium Hunter is awaiting the geological interpretation of the Ugandan aerial survey project data that has recently been released by the Ugandan Government. The aerial survey project is funded by the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the Government of Uganda, and the Nordic Development Fund, and is focused on mapping Uganda's natural mineral wealth. The survey covers over 600,000 line kilometers and uses magnetic horizontal radiometric and gamma-ray spectrometric readings taken from fixed wing aircraft. Approximately 50% of the flying is now complete, with the balance to be completed over the next 6 months.
