Urex Energy Provides Progress Report on Its Uranium Prospects.RENO, Nev. -- Urex Energy Corporation (the "Company" or "Urex") (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :URXE) is pleased to provide a corporate update on its progress acquiring and exploring uranium mining Uranium mining is the process of extraction of uranium ore from the ground. As uranium ore is mostly present at relatively low concentrations, most uranium mining is very volume-intensive, and thus tends to be undertaken as open-pit mining. properties to meet the growing demand for uranium in nuclear power generation. To date, Urex Energy has appointed a South American Manager to direct a comprehensive geologic review and drill program at the Company's Rio Chubut Project, has moved forward with drill test programs at its uranium properties in New Mexico New Mexico, state in the SW United States. At its northwestern corner are the so-called Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at right angles; New Mexico is also bordered by Oklahoma (NE), Texas (E, S), and Mexico (S). and Argentina, and has begun trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Frankfurt Stock Exchange The largest of Germany's eight securities exchanges, operated by Deutsche Borse AS. . The demand for uranium is projected to increase by 2.8% through 2010 and double by 2020. Nuclear power is back in demand as a relatively cheap, reliable and emissions-free solution to the world's rapidly increasing need for energy. More than 50 nuclear plants are planned or under construction in a dozen countries, according to U.S. and international nuclear agencies. This resurgence has driven the price of uranium to record levels, reaching a month-end spot price of $54.00 as of September 25, 2006. Over the last six years prices have risen by $38.40 per pound, from $7.10 in 2000. Urex Energy is working to meet this growing need by developing two prospective uranium projects that it has acquired in Argentina and New Mexico. The Company expects to commence drill testing at both sites in mid-November as permit approvals are obtained. The Company has appointed Mr. Oscar Yoshitaka Yoko to act as its South American Manager. Mr. Yoko will lead exploration and development efforts at Urex Energy's Rio Chubut Project, where the Company owns a 98.8% interest. He will direct a drill test program on the Cerro Solo Block, which includes a seismic refraction geophysical survey and a 30-hole drill program. Mr. Yoko will also manage a comprehensive geologic review of the entire Rio Chubut Property's 170,000 hectares to identify uranium anomalies for future drill testing. Mr. Yoko has more than 29 years of mining and mineral exploration experience, having worked for BP Minerals, Brascan, Homestake Mining Company, Votorantim and JOGMEC and consulted for CVRD CVRD Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Brazilian mining company) CVRD Cowichan Valley Regional District (Vacouver Island, British Columbia, Canada) CVRD Converter, Variable Resistance, to DC Voltage , Placer Dome, and Meridian Gold. Urex Energy's Rio Chubut property borders the 10-million-pound Cerro Solo Uranium Deposit. More than 2,300 radiometric anomalies were defined in the Chubut Basin by airborne geophysical surveys conducted by Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica ("CNEA CNEA Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica (Argentina) CNEA Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology CNEA Conference on New England Archaeology CNEA Cardiovascular Nursing Education Associates ") of Argentina (CNEA, 1997). The Chubut Basin offers permissive geology and is under-explored, representing an excellent opportunity to find and develop new uranium deposits. Urex Energy is also moving forward with exploration of its La Jara Mesa Uranium Project, which straddles the uranium deposits of La Jara Mesa and Melrich in the Grants Mining Belt of New Mexico and is located within the most prolific uranium-producing district in the United States. The company has acquired a 100% interest in the project and has filed an application with the Mining and Minerals Division of the New Mexico - Energy Minerals and Natural Resources Department for a Minimal Impact Uranium Exploration Permit. Urex Energy has proposed drilling 21 exploration holes to test the Brushy Basin Member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation, which hosts uranium mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure.
