URACAN UPDATES STATUS OF QUEBEC MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
Vancouver, Canada (September 21, 2015) - Uracan Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:URC) ("Uracan") announces that due to the ongoing de facto moratorium on uranium exploration in Quebec, significant uncertainty surrounds the future of uranium exploration and mining in Quebec. The Quebec Ministry of Environment is refusing to issue permits to any company engaged in uranium exploration in the province. In addition, the recent BAPE public consultation has recommended against allowing uranium exploration and mining in the province. These events have caused Uracan to be severely restricted in its ability to do any work on the North Shore Property, and make it appear unlikely that Uracan will be able to do so in the future.
Uracan has written off the North Shore Property in its financial statements effective July 31st, 2012. Given these facts regarding the project, Uracan now considers the previous uranium resources to no longer be uranium resources due to the uncertainties laid out above.
Marc Simpson, P. Geo, Uracan's President and CEO is the Qualified Person who has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
