With a key presence in Nunavut's Thelon Basin, the company is well positioned for a discovery in the next frontier of uranium exploration in Canada

Titan Uranium Exploration, a well capitalized, Canadian based junior resource company began trading officially today on the Toronto Stock Exchange's Venture Exchange, under the ticker symbol Ticker Symbol

An arrangement of characters (usually letters) representing a particular security listed on an exchange or otherwise traded publicly. When a company issues securities to the public marketplace, it selects an available ticker symbol for its securities which investors
 TUE.

Highlights include:

- experienced management based in Saskatoon Saskatoon (săskətn`), city (1991 pop. 186,058), S central Sask., Canada, on the South Saskatchewan River. , the uranium capital of the world

- a drill-ready property that has had more than $5 million spent on it developing targets

- high grade boulder trains with samples up to 38% U3O8

- track etch and radon gas anomalies prevalent on properties

- $3 million cash, or roughly 27 cents a share cash after a 50 cent financing

- a strategic land position in Nunavut's Thelon Basin, which already hosts Cogema's Kiggavik uranium deposit

Previously, the company traded under the name Ceduna Capital Corporation (NEX NEX

 BOARD:CUN.H). Its shares were halted in October 2004 while the company was restructured to focus on the opportunities in the uranium sector. The latest 50 cent financing, which was oversubscribed Refers to connecting more users to a system than can be fully supported if all of them were using it at the same time. Networks and servers are almost always designed with some amount of oversubscription, counting on the fact that everybody does not need the service simultaneously. , helped Titan Uranium Exploration raise $3 million with approximately 11.7 million shares outstanding.

The creation of Titan Uranium Exploration comes at a critical time given the current opportunities that have been created in the uranium sector where record prices are being set on a weekly basis. Titan Uranium Exploration has positioned itself well by establishing a major presence in the Thelon Basin in Nunavut. This basin is considered to hold strong promise and potentially similar key findings as those in the nearby Athabasca Basin The Athabasca Basin is a region of Northern Saskatchewan and Alberta Canada that is best known as the world's leading source of uranium. It currently supplies about 30% of the world's uranium.

The basin is located just to the south of Lake Athabasca.
 where companies such as Cameco Corporation have been successful in the exploration of uranium. An estimated $170 million was spent last year on mineral exploration in Nunavut, a figure that is expected to grow substantially in 2005.

"In exploration terms, we believe Nunavut's Thelon Basin is where the Athabasca basin was 30 years ago," says Chad Wasilenkoff, Titan Uranium's CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. .

Similar in geology to the Athabasca Basin and located 90 kilometres from Cogema Corporation's Kiggavik advanced uranium project, the Thelon Uranium Project comprises eight drill ready uranium properties covering approximately 4028 hectares with potential high grade uranium mineralization Mineralization

"There is strong potential for a significant high grade uranium find in the Thelon area," adds Wasilenkoff. "Exploration in similar geological environments in Saskatchewan and Australia has discovered a significant number of high grade uranium deposits such as the McArthur River Deposit with proven reserves of 893,000 tonnes of ore grading in the 23 per cent range."

With uranium demand far outstripping supply, the mineral has obtained new found respect, especially given its uses in nuclear reactors in rapidly growing countries such as China, Russia and India. This has put pressure on global uranium supplies, and has triggered interest in new mining operations. While current worldwide demand levels are at approximately 190 million pounds annually, close to only 135 million pounds are being produced. Coupled with the fact that the price of uranium has steadily increased over time, this makes Canadian companies This is a list of companies from Canada.

 such as Titan Uranium Exploration well positioned to respond, given that some of the world's richest uranium mines Uranium mining is presently carried out in more than 25 countries around the world. An estimated 100 or more uranium mines in different stages of development are reported. Major uranium mines are located in Canada, Australia and Kazakhstan that contribute more than half of world's uranium  are potentially located in the Thelon Basin.

 of the boulder trains defined by numerous mineralized boulders that have anomalous levels of uranium," says Phil Olson, Titan Uranium Exploration's President. "This bodes well for the Titan Thelon Project because the Thelon Formation is an under-explored region with all the same geological features as the more highly explored, producing Mid-Proterozoic basins elsewhere in the world."

Titan Uranium Exploration has completed a detailed property report compliant with National Instrument 43-101. Past work on the site includes regional geological mapping, prospecting, 13,612 kilometres of airborne radiometric, magnetic and electromagnetic surveying, and detailed lake-bottom geological sampling. Detailed surveys that have been undertaken to date include ground, geological and scintillometer prospecting.

With more than four decades in the industry, Titan Uranium Exploration's management team has extensive experience in exploration, mining and in successfully taking junior resource companies to market. "We've assembled quite a talented team, each an expert with demonstrable experience in their own area," says Wasilenkoff. "Our intention is to establish Titan Uranium Exploration's presence in the Thelon Basin and take an active role in furthering the uranium exploration activity in the area."

 processes. In areas where the deposits are at or near the surface, glacial movement has stripped off parts of these deposits leaving behind easily identifiable boulder trains. Another common method of locating uranium deposits is through identifying radon gas emissions. As uranium depletes over the course of millions of years it releases radon gas which slowly works its way to the surface.

In the last forty years uranium has become one of the world's most important energy sources. However, finding a deposit that can economically be brought into production is rare. There are many uranium mines operating around the world in close to twenty countries, but more than two thirds of world production comes from just ten mines. The largest and highest grade deposits of uranium are found in unconformity-type deposits located in Canada, with Australia and Kazakhstan having lower-grade operations.

About Titan Uranium Exploration

Formed in January 2004 to respond to the opportunities in the uranium sector, Titan Uranium Exploration is a well capitalized, Canadian-based junior resource company. The company officially began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange TSX Venture Exchange
