About Pancontinental Uranium Corporation

Pancontinental Uranium Corporation ("Pancon") is a Canadian-based company
focused on uranium and REE discovery and development. Through a joint venture
with Crossland Uranium Mines Limited ("Crossland") of Australia, Pancon has
established one of the strongest management teams in the uranium industry. This
management and operating team has unparalleled experience from exploration,
through development to operations, and includes people who were instrumental in
the discovery of two of the largest uranium deposits in the world. Pancon and
Crossland hold an impressive uranium and REE exploration portfolio with projects
in prolific, mining friendly districts. 


Active exploration is ongoing at three Australian projects which include
Chilling, Charley Creek, and Kalabity. The Chilling project has the potential to
host a mirror image of a portion of the renowned Alligator Rivers Uranium Field
containing the large Jabiluka, Ranger and Koongarra deposits. Charley Creek has
the potential for large alluvial REE deposits, and large, lower-grade,
Rossing-type, granite-hosted uranium deposits. The Kalabity project lies in a
district of historic uranium/radium mining that contains a variety of known
uranium deposit styles.


Pancon earned an initial 50% interest in this significant uranium and REE
project portfolio with Crossland through the expenditure of AUD$8 million. Due
to prevailing poor financial market conditions, Pancon elected to conserve its
cash and avoid having to raise additional funds at depressed share prices. As a
result, Pancon ceased funding its 50% share of the Joint Venture expenditures
until the end of 2011. Pancon expects its interest will be reduced by 2 - 4%.
According to the Joint Venture agreement, Pancon has the right to resume funding
at any time to maintain its interest. Pancon and Crossland are also pursuing
exploration beyond Australia through an international subsidiary company,
Crosscontinental Uranium Limited, and plans include formulating an exploration
program in Burkina Faso. 


ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
