VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: CUE) is pleased to announce that the Phase 2 exploration drilling on the San Antonio zone of the Yuty uranium project has been completed and has continued to intersect significant thicknesses and uranium grades. A total of 63 holes have been previously reported (November 7, 2007). The 43 holes drilled since then into the same zone continue to show substantial thicknesses of significant uranium mineralization, contained in sandstones. This brings the total meterage drilled this year to 10705 meters in 106 holes. Drilling on Phase 3, to extend the defined zone, will start in January 2008 with three drill rigs.

An NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate is underway by Scott Wilson RPA in Toronto. To allow inclusion of all of the drilling up to December 15, the anticipated completion is January 31, 2008.

Metallurgical test work is also underway. Agitation leach tests are currently being conducted at Hazen Research, Inc. in Denver, CO. This will be followed by a column leach test. Results of this testing program are expected to be completed by February 2008.

The results of 287 core samples, being analyzed for disequilibrium, are expected by the end of January, 2008.

To summarize the 2007 drill results, of the 106 holes drilled;

13 holes (12.3%) have grade x thickness in excess of 0.5 m% eU3O8;

64 holes (60.4%) have grade x thickness between 0.1 and 0.5 m% eU3O8;

7 holes (6.6%) have grade x thickness between 0.06 and 0.1 m% eU3O8;

10 holes (9.4%) have grade x thickness between 0.02 and 0.06 m% eU3O8;

12 holes (11.6%) are anomalous or barren.

Taking a minimum grade x thickness of 0.2 m% eU3O8, the average thickness of the 51 holes included is 9.5 meters and the average grade is 0.05% eU3O8. These values are very comparable to those values found in operating ISR mines in Kazakhstan (see references in Cue release dated Nov 7, 2007).

The grades are reported as equivalent uranium (eU3O8) as determined by downhole radiometric logging equipment. The logging was performed using equipment purchased from Mount Sopris Instruments, of Golden, Colorado. Quality control and quality assurance is being provided by Dr Bernie Schmeling, a contract geophysicist.
