FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toronto, Ontario and Nucla, Colorado - Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (CSE: WUC) (OTCQX: WSTRF)
(“Western” or the ”Company”) is pleased to provide the following updates on the advancement of its resource
properties and the inclusion of its common shares into uranium sector indices and exchange traded funds (ETFs).
The team has completed its first three weeks on the resumption of mining activities at the Sunday Mine Complex. As the
base of operations was moved from the St. Jude Mine into the Sunday Mine, significant underground refurbishment has
taken place. Currently, the mines are partially ventilated, and power will be upgraded to increase ventilation. The
project is operating well and on schedule with underground development projected to begin within one week. After
upgrading explosives capabilities, the team will begin underground drifting of the last ~ 150 feet to complete access to
the GMG uranium ore body which wasn’t completed when Denison Mining shut down operations during the last
uranium bull market. Following development activities, limited ore production from this target area is anticipated.
Sunday Mine Complex Project Update
Mallard Exploration (“Mallard”) has made significant progress advancing the Blue Teal Fed wells through the oil well
production stages. The fracking stage was completed in June and the drillout stage was completed during July. The
flowback stage began on Wednesday July 21st on the 3.0 mile horizontal well. Four days later it cut its first oil and was
moved into full oil and gas production . The last week of July, three additional 2.5 mile horizontal wells began the
flowback process. The operator has advised that flowback typically takes less than a week per well and is projecting that
all eight Blue Teal Fed wells will be in full production before the end of August. During the 4th quarter, well production
levels will be determined and Western will begin receiving its proportion of royalty payments.
