VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Jan. 17, 2008) - UC Resources Ltd. ("UC" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:UC) is pleased to announce that Billiken Management will be providing field crews, which are scheduled to begin work on the McFauld's East Project area over the next few weeks. The field crews will initially undertake line-cutting, followed by ground geophysics. Aeroquest, which was contracted jointly by UC, Noront Resources, and other juniors in the McFauld's Lake area have returned in order to complete the airborne program over the remaining claims of the "Ring of Fire". Several airborne anomalies have been identified in the initial 100 metre spacing Aeortem survey, which was partially completed in December. These anomalies are located to the south / southwest of the UC Resources/Spider Resources/KWG Resources McFaulds #1 and #3 occurrences on the McFauld's East property. Each of these anomalies will be further detailed by ground geophysics prior to drill testing.
UC is also pleased to announce its intention to participate with Spider Resources/KWG Resources in several new claims that have been staked to the North of the McFauld's East Property. This staking has been undertaken in compliance with the LOI signed in March 2007 between UC and Spider Resources.
UC is also moving forward with a revamping of the La Yesca mill in Mexico. A recently completed study and metallurgical testing has increased recovery rates of both gold and silver, but does require modification of the present milling and metallurgical process. The ordering of additional equipment has begun and installation will begin immediately upon its arrival.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Jim Voisin, President
