      Uranium North Expands Mallery Lake Gold Target
=======================================================================

Vancouver, August 12, 2010 - Uranium North Resources Corp (UNR - TSX-V)
announces expansion of the Mallery gold structure and identifies new
gold targets further north on the property. The Mallery gold structure
has historically yielded gold values up to 24.62 g/t Au and 110 g/t Ag.

The Mallery Stockwork consists of a network of quartz veins up to 20
metres wide hosted within rhyolite. Three areas with gold mineralized
bedrock exposure have been mapped intermittently over more than 700 by
500 metres suggesting the possibility for at least three east-west
trending zones. Coincident subtle geophysical and geochemical soil
anomalies demonstrate the potential for continuity within vegetated
areas lacking outcrop. These structures are open along strike and
additional structures may exist to the north and south. The 24.6 g/t
Au, 110 g/t Ag sample is located on the eastern structure.

Additional vein stockwork has been discovered over an area of 60 metres
extending the stockwork zone to the northwest. At the western stockwork
zone, veining has been observed nearly 50 metres along strike where
bedrock exposure is limited by swamp cover. Depending on gold assays,
this may represent another significant exploration target on the
property.

A total of 53 rock samples were collected from Mallery by Uranium North
earlier this summer.  In addition, 233 till samples were collected; 210
of which are geochemical samples from areas lacking outcrop exposure
and 23 are heavy mineral samples from areas with previously identified
angular gold grains in till. This data will be used to identify targets
for an anticipated drill program this fall.

The Mallery Lake property is located in Nunavut and is 100% owned by
the Company.

Bruce Kienlen, P.Geol, is the Qualified Person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101, responsible for collection of the till samples on
the project prior to 2010 and has reviewed and approved the technical
information relating to these till samples in this release. Linda
Erdman, P. Geo is responsible for design and execution of the 2010
program and has reviewed historical reports for the property. The
historical work has not been verified by the Company, however, it
appears to have been completed under standard best practices consistent
with the time and appears to be of reasonable quality.
