UNR Uranium North Resources Corp.

Uranium North Resource Corp. ("Uranium North" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:UNR) announces that it has received results of a Mineral Liberation
Analysis (MLA) of graphite flake size for four samples from its 100% owned Amer
property in Nunavut.


Results for the samples indicate graphite occurs predominantly as very fine
flake and bleb-like patches finer than 30 micrometres in size within clay-rick
shaley material. The average flake or particle size is 5-15 microns, with a
width of 0.3 to 0.5 microns. The graphite bearing beds extend for kilometres and
to date only four samples recovered by reverse circulation drilling have been
analyzed.


The limited amount of sample material tested is not considered amenable to
standard recovery and would likely not produce a concentrate of high purity.
However, these samples represent a very minor portion of the prospective
stratigraphy across the 220 square kilometre basin. More exploration is
warranted to identify higher quality zones of graphite on the property.


"The next step for the company is to determine what commercial applications
exist for this form of graphite and to identify any companies that might be
interested in a deposit with significant size and open pit mining potential,"
says Mark Kolebaba, President of Uranium North Resources.


Multiple graphite bearing beds ranging from 15 to 25 metres thick have yielded
up to 4.13% graphite (see news release dated May 16, 2012). These beds have been
intersected by two reverse circulation drill holes 3.1 kilometres apart as well
as a core hole drilled 15 kilometres to the east. The same graphitic units have
been identified in three surface outcrop exposures spanning an area of 22 x 10
kilometres. 


The graphitic rocks are flat lying and occur in a basin scale stratigraphic unit
that is a minimum of 60 metres thick and is expected to extend over a 26 x 8
kilometre area based on geological mapping and drilling.


The Amer Lake graphite was recognized during the company's uranium exploration
program and was investigated as a reducing environment favorable for uranium
precipitation. This new graphite discovery increases the attractiveness of Amer
property where we have an existing uranium resource with potential to expand.


The project is 70 kilometres from an all season road that is 120 kilometres to
sea access.


The samples analyzed by Act Labs in Ontario, Canada. The samples were received
as minus 2 mm assay reject samples and riffle split to 200 gram sub samples for
MLA sample preparation. Screened at 425 microns (42 Mesh) and the oversize hand
crushed to passing 425 micron to generate 100% passing -42 mesh sample. A manual
SEM investigation was performed by BSE (Back Scattered Electrons)
photomicrographs and verified by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry.
