Titan Uranium Inc. Updates Exploration Activities And Launches 2011 Drilling Program On Thorburn Lake Project
The results of the D.C. Resistivity geophysical program completed at the end of June 2011, outlined several targets that are interpreted as alteration chimneys along and cross-cutting Titan's Thorburn Lake Electromagnetic (TDEM) conductive trend. The combination of TDEM and D.C. resistivity surveys are effective in detecting conductors and hydrothermal alteration anomalies, respectively. These features are typically found associated with fault zones and unconformity-type uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.
The geophysical surveys will be used to target Titan's follow-up drilling with 3500-4000 metres in 8-10 drill holes. This program follows-up on previous results along the Thorburn trend where a 15 metre basal sandstone section in hole TBN-08-04 returned 1.1 to 90.4 ppm uranium, and at the unconformity assayed 487 ppm uranium (0.057% U3O8) over a 0.60 metre interval. (see August 07, 2008 press release). Strong bleaching and clay alteration observed in the basal sandstone, combined with anomalous uranium values and the low grade uranium mineralization at the unconformity are indicative of a mineralizing hydrothermal system.
The Thorburn Lake project is located in the eastern portion of the Athabasca basin approximately 10 km east of Cameco's Cigar Lake Mine and 27 km southwest of Points North landing. Cameco's Sand Lake deposit is located at the eastern end of the Thorburn fault system while the Dawn Lake project (Cameco) Thorburn zone lies just beyond the south-eastern edge of Titan's Thorburn Lake project.

About Titan Uranium Inc.
Titan Uranium's vision is to be a leading mid-tier North-American uranium exploration, development and mining company. Our mission is to create shareholder value by advancing quality projects to production.
Our growth strategy is driven by three elements:
•Development: A pre-feasibility study has been completed at the Sheep Mountain Uranium Project, Wyoming. The deposit contains a NI 43-101 compliant indicated resource of 30.4 million lbs eU3O8 (13,841,000 tons averaging 0.110% eU3O8) (see Titan press release January 20, 2011).
•Exploration: The goal is to discover world class uranium deposits by exploring over 1.5M acres of land in the proven Athabasca and prospective Thelon Basins. Exploration programs are also active in Utah and Wyoming.
•Consolidation: The Company is actively pursuing M & A opportunities and focused on uranium-friendly jurisdictions such as Saskatchewan and Wyoming.
Titan has gained market recognition for its ability to attract strategic partners to participate in the exploration of its properties. Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation and Mega Uranium Ltd. are partners in current exploration programs managed by Titan.
Titan is well-financed and ideally positioned to emerge as a pre-eminent player in the uranium industry.
