Ablation Mining Technology ('AMT') Demonstration

George Glasier, President & CEO of Western commented as follows: 'We are pleased with the results of our preliminary trial runs. Western, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Black Range Minerals Inc., has completed the construction and testing of the first production model of its Ablation Mining Technology. The production tests indicate that the patented mining process could substantially reduce the cost of producing uranium concentrates (U3O8) from both the Company's mines, and potentially from other sandstone hosted deposits globally.

Western intends to construct additional production ablation units to employ at its fully permitted Sunday Mine Complex. A detailed operational demonstration of the ablation mining technology was undertaken on stockpiled ore from the October mine on the weekend of September 11 and 12 2015. The 5 ton per hour AMT has been undergoing on-site testing and development for the past month or so and, in our view has now been de-risked and is operational. Over the coming month WUC will be working to optimize production efficiencies. When the operational efficiencies have been fully optimized, work will begin on the construction and development of a 20 ton per hour AMT unit for commercial production.'
