WUC Western Uranium Corp.

Western Uranium Corporation ("the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:WUC) is pleased to
announce that at the Annual and Special Meeting of the shareholders held on June
19, 2008, the shareholders of the Company overwhelmingly approved the previously
announced statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). Under the
Arrangement, the Company will spin out a portion of its interest in Western
Lithium Canada Corporation ("Western Lithium"), its wholly owned subsidiary, to
the shareholders of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the plan of
arrangement, the shareholders of record as at Thursday, June 19, 2008 will
receive one share of Western Lithium for every three shares of the Company held.
Western Lithium, through its wholly owned subsidiary, has entered into a mining
lease and option agreement with Western Energy Development Corp., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which it was granted the exclusive right
to explore for lithium bearing minerals and clay on the Company's Kings Valley
property.


Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions including
obtaining court approval and the listing of the common shares of Western Lithium
on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). In addition, Western Lithium is
completing a previously announced private placement of 16,220,000 of its common
shares which are being offered at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds
of $8,110,000. The private placement will close immediately prior to the
completion of the Arrangement. Western Lithium has applied to list its common
shares on the Exchange and listing is conditional upon Western Lithium
fulfilling all of the listing requirements and conditions of the Exchange. The
Company and Western Lithium will make further announcements to update their
shareholders as to the status of the listing application and the private
placement.
