NWT Uranium completes drill program in Mexico

About this update from Captor Capital Corp

TORONTO, Dec. 10 /CNW/ - NWT Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: NWT; OTCBB: NWURF) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its first drill program at the 19,000-acre (7,700-hectare) Picachos project in Durango, Mexico. In total, 21 reverse circulation (RC) holes were drilled covering 10,254 feet (3,125.5 meters) and samples have been shipped to Acme Analytical Laboratories for analysis. Drilling at Los Cochis tested the El Fresno target, which is characterized by high silver geochemistry on surface. Specifically, rock chip-channel and grab samples returned individual values of up to 145 ounces per ton (4,975 grams per tonne) silver, 0.25 oz/t (8.61 g/t) gold, 53% zinc as well as 50% lead. "Based on visual logging and on-site hand-held instrument X-ray analysis of the drill samples, 18 of 21 holes contain zinc and silver mineralization," said Marek J. Kreczmer, President and CEO of NWT Uranium. "Mineralization occurs as veins and disseminations in propylitic altered andesitic rocks of the Lower Volcanic Group. While higher-grade intervals of mineralization related to veining were intercepted in several holes, NWT is particularly excited about the possibility that wider intervals of disseminated mineralization may carry enough silver, gold, lead and zinc for a large-tonnage, open pit mine." In total, 2,050 samples were collected from the 21 holes. The samples have been shipped to Acme Analytical Laboratories in Guadalajara for multi-element and gold analysis. Analyses and findings will be reported upon receipt and compilation of results. Drilling was conducted by Layne de Mexico SA. The El Fresno target is characterized by high silver geochemistry in a 2,625-foot by 1,640-foot (800-meter by 500-meter) area. Results from previous exploration work included 157 feet (48 meters) of 1.6 oz/t (56 g/t) silver, 0.4% lead and 1.2% zinc (average result of 34 continuous chip-channel samples across mainly disseminated mineralization). NWT has an option to earn a 70% interest in Picachos from Yamana Gold as announced in a press release dated July 12, 2006. Quality Assurance Sampling was supervised by Michelle Robinson, MASc., PEng, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and a consultant to NWT Uranium. Ms. Robinson has supervised the preparation of and verified all data in this press release. Samples will be assayed by Acme Analytical Laboratories using ICP-MS methods. Anomalous values will be re-assayed using the FA 30 method. Approximately 150 samples will be submitted to a different laboratory for confirmation. ABOUT NWT URANIUM: NWT Uranium Corp.

This news release includes certain "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and resources, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of the Company are forward looking statements that involve various degrees of risk. The following are important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements: changes in the worldwide price of mineral commodities, general market conditions, risks inherent in mineral exploration, risks associated with development, construction and mining operations, the uncertainty of future profitability and the uncertainty of access to additional capital. Some of the assays returned were below the detection limits of the analytical techniques used to analyze samples. Potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has not been sufficient exploration at Picachos to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of a mineral resource on the property.
