U Mining Resources Inc. Finalizes Primary Evaluation of Iron Ore Mining Concession in West Africa

Wednesday January 16, 9:46 am ET

Mining Concession May Be Regarded as World-Class Iron Ore Resource

NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 16, 2008 -- U Mining Resources Inc. (Other OTC: UMNG.PK - News) today announced that it has finalized the primary evaluation of the Iron Ore mining concession in West Africa. As reported on January 3, U Mining has signed a multi-level contract with the West African Company "Comitrag," which includes a joint venture agreement to commence a major mining extraction program on this concession in partnership with the Government of the West African nation.

The mining concession consists of a territory covering a distance of 55 kilometres. Drill assays from previous exploration programs on the mining concession indicated a concentration of over 67% Fe (Iron). The concession contains some of the highest concentrations of iron in the world and thus may be regarded as a world-class iron ore resource.

The above-mentioned multi-level contract also includes the assignment to U Mining of a management contract for the building of several large-scale infrastructures. The revenues generated from the exploitation of the mining concession will provide the Government with sufficient working capital to cover the cost of the infrastructure projects. The projects include the construction of a new railroad that will service the iron ore mine; following a route through the centre of the nation. U Mining and Comitrag are fully committed to the mining and infrastructure projects for the future development of the West African nation.

  





Further details on the mining and infrastructure projects will be disclosed to shareholders upon the signing of a definitive agreement with the West African nation.
