VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Anglo-Canadian Uranium Corp. ("The Company") (TSX-V:URA) is pleased to announce the acquisition of four (4) Uranium/Vanadium claims known as the "Spider Rock Claims", located in the Dolores and San Miguel Counties of Colorado. The Spider Rock Claims comprise eighty (80) acres and further compliment the Company's existing portfolio of uranium properties in Utah, USA and Quebec, Canada. The Company intends to conduct additional exploration and drilling programs to update and confirm earlier reported uranium/vanadium mineralization results within the Spider Rock Claims.
In addition to this acquisition, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Roger Laine, Ph.D., P.Geo. to the board of directors. Mr. Laine brings over 14 years of uranium exploration and development experience to the Company, previously working with Amok Ltd., a subsidiary of Cogema. Mr. Laine was instrumental in the development of the Cluff Lake uranium project in the Athabasca Sandstone region of Northern Saskatchewan, and oversaw a number of uranium and gold projects in the Americas, West and Central Africa, and Europe. Mr. Laine is a primary component in the Company's ongoing exploration and development of its uranium and gold properties.
Spider Rock Uranium/Vanadium Claims
From 1976 to 1984, Western Nuclear Inc. conducted several exploration and drilling programs on the Spider Rock Claims including a total of 46 drill holes of which eighteen (18) were abandoned and 28 confirmed uranium/vanadium mineralization. Further exploration and drilling on the properties was halted shortly after the deterioration of the North American uranium market.
Additional details of this acquisition will be announced once the Company receives approval of the agreement from the TSX Venture Exchange.
