NWT announces advancements with Niger Uranium properties

About this update from Captor Capital Corp

Results of surface rock-chip samples reveal U(3)O(8) grades up to 0.98% TORONTO, Feb. 14 /CNW/ - NWT Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: NWT; OTCBB: NWURF) is pleased to provide a further update for its shareholders regarding the activities of Niger Uranium Limited, of which NWT is the largest shareholder with a 38.5% ownership position. As announced by Niger Uranium in a press release dated January 28, 2008, Phase 1 drilling and trenching has commenced at Irhazer and In Gall. Drilling is continuing and is scheduled to include 18 holes totaling 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) with completion scheduled for March 2008. To date, Niger Uranium has completed 1,150 feet (352 meters) of tri-cone drilling and radiometric probing is underway. The drilling target is a large, open-pittable resource, where a number of surface grab samples and geological mapping indicate strike extensive stratiform mineralization that is exposed at the surface. Phase 2 drilling, currently expected to consist of 24,600 feet (7,500 meters), is scheduled to commence in April. Niger Uranium also reported that groundwork on northerly, structurally controlled targets is underway at Irhazer and In Gall, while mapping, ground magnetics and track-etch radon detection work is expected to commence in early February. Surface rock-chip samples taken in 2007 and analyzed in January 2008 from the targets range from 45 to 9,829 ppm (0.98% U(3)O(8)) and confirm the highly prospective character of these targets. Results for all samples and a map outlining grab samples are available on Niger Uranium's web site at www.niger-uranium.com. In addition, Niger Uranium received a significant dataset from Areva, containing large amounts of historic data on the license areas and surrounding areas. The company expects the data to assist with target generation and help fast-track the exploration program. No drilling has yet commenced at the Kamas and Dabala license areas.

NWT contributed the Irhazer and In Gall properties to Niger Uranium, as detailed in a press release dated July 26, 2007. The two properties have returned uranium values ranging from 0.22% U(3)O(8) to 1.0% U(3)O(8) from five surface rock samples collected from outcrops, as reported in a press release on May 29, 2007, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. These samples were submitted for re-analysis after they exceeded the detection limits of uranium tests routinely used to analyze samples from Niger. Producing mines and deposits in Niger typically grade from 0.1% to 0.42% U(3)O(8), with the highest grades being mined at greater depths.
