Titan Uranium Inc. ("Titan" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TUE)(FRANKFURT: T4X), a North American generative explorer, is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on the Company's Sand Hill Lake project. The project is the subject of an agreement between Titan and Vale Exploration Canada Inc. ("VEC"), an affiliate of Vale Inco Limited, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vale S.A. ("VALE") (NYSE: VALE). VEC can earn a 60% undivided interest in the project by funding Cdn $12 million in exploration over a five year period (Titan Uranium Inc. PR, April 11, 2008).

Major Drilling Ltd. has mobilized the drilling crew and equipment to the site and the first hole of this program was collared August 14, 2009. About 835 metres of drilling is planned on this phase of the project, which is operated by Titan. Previous drilling has intersected significant alteration, anomalous pathfinder elements and elevated uranium values in the sandstone rocks above a regional basement graphitic horizon. The sandstone and basement rocks show evidence of faulting, features that are typically seen in the vicinity of unconformity style uranium mineralization.

The Sand Hill Lake project includes the Sand Hill Lake and Rook II properties (20 claims totaling 84,224 hectares/208,122 acres) and is located in the southern central portion of the Athabasca Basin in north Saskatchewan. The project is adjacent to the Cameco Corp./Areva Resources Canada Inc./Formation Capital Corp. Virgin River property that hosts the Centennial deposit where the highest grade-thickness intervals reported to date are found in hole VR-031W1 which intersected 7.62% U3O8 over 17.8 metres (Formation Capital Corp. PR, March 26, 2009). Cameco has advised its partners that a conceptual study is planned for the summer of 2009 to assist in determining the potential economic viability of a uranium deposit in this region (Formation Capital Corp. PR, June 25, 2009).
