Western Lithium Completes Purchase of Royalties and Mineral Property Titles From Western Uranium

RENO, NEVADA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/11/11 -- Western Lithium USA Corporation ('Western Lithium' or 'WLC') (TSX: WLC)(OTCQX: WLCDF) and Western Uranium Corporation ('Western Uranium' or 'WUC') (TSX VENTURE: WUC)(PINK SHEETS: WURNF) are pleased to announce that they have completed the previously announced transaction for the sale, by WUC to WLC, of the royalties and titles constituting substantially all of the Kings Valley mineral property holdings in Nevada for Cdn$6.85 million, paid through the issue to WUC of 5,855,000 WLC common shares.

'This transaction gives Western Lithium a 100% interest in the Kings Valley lithium property,' said Jay Chmelauskas, Western Lithium's President. 'It provides us with a clean corporate structure to take to potential strategic and financing partners as we move forward in developing our Nevada lithium property.'

The transaction results in the transfer of all of the lithium properties out of WUC's portfolio and eliminates the existing lease and royalty arrangements between the two companies on the Kings Valley property, including a Net Smelter Return of 1.5% and Net Profits Royalty of 3.5% on any lithium and related byproducts. Excluding the Albisu gold exploration target and a royalty granted to Cameco Global Exploration II Ltd. solely in respect of uranium, WLC now has full control of the Kings Valley property claim.

As part of the transaction, WUC has agreed to dispose of its common shares in the capital of WLC, in due course, through one or more block trades or off-market transactions until it holds less than 10% of the outstanding WLC shares. Until it completes such disposition, WUC agrees to refrain from voting against management nominees to the WLC board of directors and to not vote against any arm's length third party transaction proposed by WLC's management.

Western Lithium is developing the Kings Valley, Nevada lithium deposit into potentially one of the world's largest(1) strategic, scalable and reliable sources of high quality lithium carbonate. The Company is positioning itself as a major U.S.-based supplier to support the rising global demand for lithium carbonate that is expected from the increased use of hybrid/electric vehicles.

Western Uranium Corporation is a mineral exploration company with properties in Argentina, Nevada, and New Mexico and an earn-in agreement with Renaissance Gold Inc. (formerly AuEx Ventures, Inc.) for the Baza gold-copper project in Spain. The Company has its head office in Vancouver, Canada.

1.  Western Lithium has completed National Instrument 43-101 resource
    estimates on two portions of the property, one of which is envisioned
    for the initial stage of mine development. These resources cover part of
    the mineralization from a historical estimate of 11 million tonnes of
    lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) prepared by Chevron Resources Corp.
    in the 1980s that encompasses all of the King's Valley lithium lens
    deposits identified to date, and ranks in size behind deposits in
    Bolivia (47 million tonnes LCE), Chile (37 million tonnes LCE), North
    Carolina (14 million tonnes LCE) and the DRC (12 million tonnes LCE).
    Source: R. Keith Evans, 2010; Roskill Information Services Ltd., 2009;
    and company disclosures. A qualified person has not done sufficient work
    to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources under
    National Instrument 43-101, the Company is not treating the historical
    estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should
    not be relied upon.
