) is pleased to announce that it has staked 42 claims at the Hot Dog uranium property in southern Yukon. The property is located 70 km northeast of Whitehorse and covers about 850 hectares. Due to the favorable location of the Hot Dog property the drill program is scheduled to begin in April, 2006.

The Hot Dog property was discovered and briefly explored by Chevron Minerals Ltd. in the late 1970s. Radiometric surveys conducted at Hot Dog produced strongly anomalous readings along the volcanic contact. (Greater than 1000 cps to a max of 2850 cps over a background of less than 100 cps). Further along strike, the contact is covered by a thick layer of glacial till. Limited soil sampling yielded values ranging from 200 to 3900 ppm uranium (0.46% U3O8). Chevron drilled seven shallow holes within the volcanic unit. Unfortunately, the small diameter holes gave very poor core recovery and the holes were not radiometrically logged. The highest core assay was 0.13% U3O8 from fragments which total 0.33 m length and represent the majority of the material collected from surface to a depth of 6.4 m. (The historical core assays were collected by Archer, Cathro & Associates and reported to Chevron Minerals Ltd., prior to the implementation of NI 43-101).

, and we will expand our 2006 uranium exploration program to include drilling at Hot Dog. With uranium demand increasing significantly and a supply imbalance, prices are expected to go much higher. Cash Minerals will continue to aggressively acquire assets that are favourable to discovery of uranium deposits."

The Yukon has excellent uranium potential. Geological and exploration indications are that Cash Minerals' eight Yukon uranium projects can be modeled on major deposit types, as follows:

1.Four of the Company's Wernecke Mountain properties (Igor, Steel, Bond and Dolores Dolores (or Delores) was a common given name (until the 1960s in the USA); it is cognate with the English word "dolorous" (meaning sorrowful) and equivalent in meaning. ) have characteristics similar to the well-known Olympic Dam deposit in Australia, which follows the Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG IOCG Iron Oxide Copper Gold

) model.

2.The fifth Wernecke property (Lumina) exhibits characteristics of an unconformity un·con·for·mi·ty

 related, high-grade, vein-and-fracture-controlled uranium. In 2005, an extensive field of uranium-rich boulders was discovered at Lumina through surface exploration. This occurrence, named the Jack Flash Showing, produced an average of 1.49% U3O8 (29.8 lb/ton) and ranged from 0.025% to 7.67% U3O8 (0.5 to 153.4 lb/ton). (Originally reported in the Cash Minerals news release dated October 12, 2005).

3.Two other Yukon properties with uranium hosted with Cretaceous granitic intrusions (Alle and Pedlar) are modeled after the Rossing Deposit in Southern Africa

.

4.The mineralization and geological setting at the Hot Dog property closely resembles that of the Blizzard Deposit in southern British Columbia.

The 2006 uranium exploration program in Yukon will include at least 6,000 metres of diamond drilling, airborne magnetic surveys, and ground geophysical surveys. Spending for 2006 uranium exploration is currently budgeted at approximately $4.5 million.

Including the Hot Dog property, Cash Minerals is on target to earn up to a 75% interest in 8 uranium properties in the Yukon under option agreements with Twenty-Seven Capital Corp.

Cash Minerals' Uranium exploration projects boast major stakes in eight quality projects, all of which were previously drilled. Four resemble an Olympic Dam-type project, two are modeled after the prolific Rossing Deposit in South Africa and one is testing possible unconformity-related, high grade, vein-and-fracture-controlled uranium mineralization.
