Macusani Yellowcake Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:YEL)(FRANKFURT:QG1) is
pleased to announce a new high-grade intersection from the ongoing drilling
program at the Quebrada Blanca anomaly on its Kihitian Property, south-eastern
Peru. The drill hole returned high grade uranium assays over 17.5 m from 26.0 to
43.5 m with a weighted average of 7748 ppm U3O8 (or 15.49 lbs/ton over 57.4 ft).
This included a higher-grade zone of 5.0 m that averaged 2.671% U3O8 (or 53.43
lbs/ton over 16.4 ft). This latest results are from a vertical borehole #
QB43-TV1 drilled at the Quebrada Blanca anomaly located approximately 2 km NW of
the Chilcuno Chico anomaly on the Kihitian property. The drill hole was
abandoned due to technical difficulties and ended in mineralization. 


The assay results are shown in the following table:

Several intersections of high-grade uranium from Quebrada Blanca were previously
reported in the Company's press release dated May 17th 2012, including 3.0 m
that averaged 4463 ppm U3O8 (or 8.926 lbs/ton). To date, 25 diamond boreholes
have been drilled from six platforms in the Quebrada Blanca area, totalling
roughly 3,000m of drilling. Two more platforms will be drilled in the near
future in order to complete phase one drilling within the Quebrada Blanca
anomaly. All of the new drilling and exploration data are being sent to The
Mineral Corporation in Johannesburg, South Africa for inclusion in an updated
resource estimate for the Kihitian property and extension of the geological
model at Chilcuno Chico. The updated resource estimate is expected to be
available during the fourth quarter of 2012. 


Under the existing geological model, the drilling program at Chilcuno Chico has
intersected two mineralized horizons: manto "A", and roughly 100m below, manto
"B", which is thicker and of higher uranium grade. Between the two mantos there
are at least two zones of intensely disseminated rhyolites of lower uranium
grade. At Quebrada Blanca, which is located stratigraphically lower than
Chilcuno Chico, manto "A" is usually eroded in the western extremity where
drilling is currently in progress. However, manto "B" is located closer to
surface, between 10-30m deep according to the present drilling evidence, or
manto "B" is exposed in outcrops in deeper ravines. 


President and CEO, Dr. Laurence Stefan, stated: "The surface exploration
activity completed during 2011 led us to believe that manto "B" in Quebrada
Blanca would contain higher uranium grades than at Chilcuno Chico. The results
of the drilling in the last four months, which has intersected this zone has
confirmed that the grades of the uranium mineralization at Quebrada Blanca are
superior to the uranium grades on the rest of the plateau that has been explored
to date. This recently drilled hole is consistent with the applied geological
model, with very high-grade uranium being discovered very close to surface." 


This newly drilled intersection at Quebrada Blanca represents a completely new
area with higher grade uranium mineralization occurring at shallow depths. The
anomalous area appears extensive, and although cut by a canyon to the East, the
mineralized zone appears to be well developed on the other side of the valley.
As stated in the previous Quebrada Blanca news release of May 17th 2012, the
proximity of this mineralization style to a deeper valley may enhance the
possibility of open pit mining. 


The host of the mineralization is the same young age Macusani rhyolite rock that
displays disseminated and fissure-controlled uranium minerals. The main mineral
species are meta-autunite and autunite that have demonstrated to provide high
metallurgical recoveries, between 91 to 97% (see the Company's press release
dated August 9, 2012). 


At present, the Company is operating four drilling rigs on the Macusani plateau:
three drills on the Kihitian project (one drill at Quebrada Blanca, and two
drills at Chilcuno Chico) and one drill that has recently started working at
Tupuramani to test the western extension of Colibri 2 & 3.

Quality Control and Analytical Procedures 

Core samples have been crushed and representative samples analysed for Uranium
(U) abundance and a suite of 40 elements. The necessary analytical quality
control and assurance has been completed by insertion of reference material,
duplicate samples and blank material. After crushing, the core is placed in
sealed bags and shipped to the CIMM's preparation laboratories in Juliaca, Peru.
Following the preparation stage, the sample pulps are sent to CIMM analytical
laboratory in Lima where U and a suite of forty other elements are analysed
using ICP-MS methodology. 


CIMM Peru is an ISO certified assay laboratory. The program is designed to
include a comprehensive assay quality control routine comprising the systematic
use of standards, blanks and field duplicate samples. Secondary laboratories are
used for check assaying. 


Qualified Person 

Mr. Ian Foreman, P.Geo., of Foremost Geological Consulting, an independent
consultant to the Company, is a Qualified Person as defined under National
Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed the scientific and technical data contained
