Pancontinental Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE: PUC) ("Pancon") is pleased to advise that its joint venture partner Crossland Uranium Mines Limited ("Crossland") (ASX: CUX) has announced today a further expansion of the NT, Australia area covered by their key Charley Creek Uranium Project by entering into a joint venture with Western Desert Resources Ltd (WDR) on that company's Clough's Dam property, EL25657.

The new Joint Venture follows Pancon/Crossland's announcement yesterday that they had acquired another neighboring uranium exploration area, Bloodwood-Highland Rocks, from Global Geoscience Ltd.

The nearly 400 square kilometre area under the WDR Joint Venture, combined with recent EL acquisitions and applications, will take the total area covered by Pancon/Crossland's Charley Creek Project to over 4,590 square kilometres.

Pancon and Crossland remain primarily focused on the uranium potential of the Charley Creek Project, where core drilling has recently commenced within their Cockroach Dam Prospect, and their strong commitment to the district means that additional areas can be explored cost effectively. In addition to uranium, Crossland's work in the Charley Creek Project area over several years has identified other areas of interest including potential for deposits such as nickel and platinoids associated with layered mafic intrusives, as well as rare earth elements (REE).

Basic stream sediment surveys and comprehensive airborne geophysical coverage by Northern Territory Geological Survey programs give good basic data that has already generated targets for follow up within Clough's Dam. Pancon and Crossland are planning a detailed airborne radiometric survey of the newly acquired areas later this year.


--  The terms of the WDR Joint Venture are that Pancon/Crossland will spend
    $100,000 on exploration within 12 months of entering the agreement and
    before withdrawal from the agreement. Pancon/Crossland will expend a
    total of $500,000 within 3 years to earn a 60% interest in the title, at
    which point WDR has the option to participate, or to reduce to a free
    carried interest of 20% to completion of a feasibility study. At that
    stage, WDR may elect to participate at 20% interest, or reduce to a 2%
    net smelter return royalty on production.

All technical information in this release has been reviewed by Geoff Eupene, Qualified Person for Crossland and Pancon.
