VMS Vortex Metals Inc

UC Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:UC) -

The company is pleased to announce the commencement of line cutting followed by
a series of geophysical surveys including gravity and gradient magnetics on the
McFaulds East block, with the outlook of designing a follow-up drill exploration
program for chromite type deposits. UC Resources Ltd. ("UC") is in a multi-year
option agreement where UC can earn up to a 55% interest in the McFaulds JV from
Spider Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SPQ) ("Spider") and KWG Resources Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:KWG) ("KWG").


Presently 55 kilometers of line cutting is underway on the northwest portion of
the McFaulds East block, in the McFaulds Lake area that abuts the Noront
Resources Ltd. ("Noront") border. Once line cutting has been completed, a
gradiometer magnetic survey will be conducted over the entire grid resulting in
a ground gravity survey being conducted over selected areas. This program is
designed to select future exploration drill targets focused on potential
chromite and/or base metal occurrences. The target area that is being assessed
is believed to be an extension of Noront's Blackbird occurrences, Freewest
Resources Canada Inc. ("Freewest"), Black Thor/Black Label occurrences and the
Spider/KWG JV - Freewest option Big Daddy Chrome occurrence. All these
occurrences have provided very impressive grade and widths of chromite
mineralization leading UC to believe this area of McFaulds East holds potential
for additional chromite occurrences. An interpretation of the a/b geophysics in
this area suggests continuity in the magnetic signature towards and onto the
UC-Spider/KWG option property.


In the fall of 2008 UC Resources embarked on a five hole drill program in the
James Bay Lowlands area referred to as the Ring of Fire. A banded iron formation
was selected as the focus of this drill program in the southwest portion of
McFaulds West area. These five holes were selected, based upon the
recommendations of both JVX Ltd. and Scott Hogg and Associates Inc., consultants
to the project. The holes were prioritized, selected and drilled in a west to
east series. Although multiple zones of massive sulphides were intersected, all
proved to be essentially barren of significant base metals, only anomalous
values of copper, lead and zinc were encountered. Although the holes yielded no
significant metal values, the last two holes drilled did encounter evidence of
the proximity of a Volcanic hosted Massive Sulphide ("VMS") occurrence. Further
gravity geophysics has been recommended to isolate and further define this
target. In addition, a further review of the drill logs has revealed that
isolated sections of holes 4 and 5, based upon core descriptions reflected a
resemblance to chromite. These sections are now being pulled out of storage to
be re-assessed with the possibility of re-entering and deepening these two holes
if warranted by this review.


UC Resources is pleased to announce that the Company has reached another
milestone in its option right to earn 55% interest in the East and West McFaulds
blocks in the James Bay Lowlands known as the "Ring Of Fire" held jointly by
Spider and KWG. The company has received confirmation of its 25% earned interest
and would like to inform its shareholders that UC is proceeding with and close
to completing year three expenditures required to earn a 40% interest in the
land package.


UC Resources is an active explorer of base metals in the McFaulds Lake area of
the James Bay Lowlands, Ontario, plus an explorer and a very near term producer
of precious metals in Mexico.
