======================================================================
News Release NR08-06
Vancouver, February 19, 2008 - Uranium North Resources Corp (UNR -
TSX-V) announces that the Company has been awarded two exploration
permits on southern Baffin Island in Nunavut. The two permits total
about 130,231 acres over part of the Fury-Hecla Basin which is
considered prospective for uranium.
The Company considers this is a strategic land position in an
under-explored uranium district in Canada. The Uranium North property
is adjacent to property held by Cameco Corporation, the world's largest
uranium producer. The age, tectonic setting and rock types of the
Fury-Hecla Basin are similar to those in the Athabasca Basin and is
prospective for hosting large concentrations of uranium. View Property:

Limited exploration activities by several companies in the late 1970s
identified uranium mineralization and radiometric anomalies in the
Basin. Plans for exploration on the property are underway.
