About Central

Central is a private unlisted uranium exploration company with highly prospective uranium properties in Quebec. Central's properties in Quebec comprise over 2,258 km2 of ground with uranium discovery potential in three projects - Kangiq, Central Minto and South Bienville- all located in northern Quebec in areas where significant uranium discoveries have been made recently. All three properties were optioned in 2007 from Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut") (TSX VENTURE: AZM). Pursuant to the agreements with Azimut, Central can acquire up to a 65% interest in these properties over a seven year period. Initial airborne radiometric surveys over the properties have revealed the presence of significant anomalous radioactive corridors associated with lake-bottom geochemical anomaly trends. Anomaly field-proofing and continued radiometric surveys are planned for 2008.

Central Uranium Corp. of Montreal is headed by Chairman Richard Groome and President & CEO Francois Ruel, two well known and respected veterans in the financial markets. Mr Groome is the President of Notre Dame Capital, a limited market dealer involved in financing start-up and growth oriented companies. Mr. Groome has more than 20 years experience in the financial industry and he is an active board member of several public and private companies.

Prior to founding Central, Mr. Ruel was Sr VP Equity Markets for Valeurs Mobilieres Desjardins where he was responsible for the institutional divisions.

Mr. Groome and Mr. Ruel have been involved in managing and/or participating in more than 600 financings in which more than $4 billion was raised for Canadian companies.
