NWT expands uranium discovery zone at North Rae, Quebec

    TORONTO, Nov. 19 /CNW/ - NWT Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: NWT; OTCBB: NWURF) is
pleased to announce additional assay results from rock grab samples collected
during ground evaluation work at the North Rae Uranium Project under option
from Azimut Exploration Inc. in the Ungava Bay region of Quebec, Canada.
Results provide further support for NWT's exploration model, which focuses on
a large, near-surface uranium deposit that has the potential to be recovered
using low-cost bulk mining methods.
    "This latest set of results adds important value to our understanding of
the widespread uranium mineralization at North Rae and underscores the area's
potential to host Canada's newest uranium district," said Marek J. Kreczmer,
President and CEO of NWT Uranium. "We are extremely pleased to see that our
Quebec rock sample results continue to fall in the range of known uranium
deposits in Namibia. At North Rae, we are targeting this same type of
high-tonnage, near-surface uranium deposit, which has the potential to be
recovered through open-pit mining."

    Results

    Assay results from 334 widely spaced surface rock grab samples collected
at the Jonas, Aqpiq, Rae-1 (Amittujaq), 46, Tasik, Tasialuk, Ilaluga and
Torrent zones as well as adjacent areas reveal values of up to 3.3% U(3)O(8).
Of these 334 samples, a total of 233 returned values over 0.01% U(3)O(8),
including 116 with values over 0.05% U(3)O(8) and 66 samples with values over
0.1% U(3)O(8). Samples are widely spaced, which underscores the regional
nature of the mineralized system underlying North Rae.
    Assay results from the Jonas zone show 25 of 54 samples with values over
0.05% U(3)O(8), including one sample that returned 3.3% U(3)O(8) (28,000 ppm
uranium). The 25 samples were collected from an area measuring 2,296 x
721 feet (700 x 220 meters).
    At Aqpiq, 43 of 48 samples reveal uranium values over 0.05% U(3)O(8),
including three samples that returned 1.74%, 1.20% and 1.07% U(3)O(8)
respectively. The three samples that returned values over 1.0% U(3)O(8) were
collected from two different areas located 984 feet (300 meters) apart. The
zone at Aqpiq extends over a 3,280 x 984 foot (1,000 meter x 300 meter) area.
    At Amittujaq, 8 of 11 samples returned uranium values over 0.05%
U(3)O(8). The eight samples are distributed over a length of 11,500 feet
(3,505 meters).
    All 12 samples collected at Zone 46 revealed uranium values over 0.02%
U(3)O(8). Zone 46 contains a radioactive area measuring 200 meters by 1,000
meters. The sample zone covers a total length of 720 feet (220 meters).
    At Tasik, 14 of 16 samples returned uranium values over 0.02% U(3)O(8).
The 14 samples are distributed over a length of 2,460 feet (750 meters).
    Assay results from the Tasialuk zone show 17 of 28 samples with uranium
values over 0.02% U(3)O(8). The 17 samples cover a 1,300-foot (396-meter)
area.
    At Ilaluga, 23 of 43 samples returned uranium values over 0.02% U(3)O(8).
The 23 samples cover a total length of 3740 feet (1,140 meters).
    Samples from the Torrent zone were also evaluated, with 17 of 73 samples
returning values above 0.02% U(3)O(8). The 17 samples are distributed over a
total length of 3,280 feet (1,000 meters).
    Uranium values in all eight zones are related to pegmatic dykes as
individual dykes or dyke swarms in contact with gneissic rocks
(sulphide-bearing paragneiss, granitic gneiss). The dykes are sub-horizontal
or sub-vertical to steeply dipping. A map showing the location of the eight
zones will be made available on the NWT Uranium web site at
www.nwturanium.com.
    The table below provides details of samples that returned values above
0.1% U(3)O(8).

    Additional rock sample results from the 2007 ground exploration program
will be announced as they are received and compiled.
    Some of the assays returned were below the detection limits of the
analytical techniques used to analyze samples. A total of 49 samples were
collected in areas adjacent to the zones listed above.
    NWT has the right to earn up to 65% ownership of North Rae from Azimut
Exploration Inc., as announced in a press release dated March 6, 2006.
    Initial assay results were detailed in a press release dated October 16,
2007, which is available at www.nwturanium.com.

    Quality Assurance

    Grab samples from all zones, collected during 2007 ground evaluation,
were submitted to Saskatchewan Research Council of Saskatoon for analysis
using aqua regia partial digestion followed by ICP. Industry standard Quality
Control/Quality Assurance protocols have been implemented, including insertion
of certified reference material.
    Samples were collected at surface or near surface after small blasting
using the Boulder Buster technique (29 sites, 52 samples, average sampling
depth of 30cm).

    ABOUT NWT URANIUM:

    NWT Uranium Corp. (www.nwturanium.com) is an international resource
exploration company with an experienced, highly technical management team.
Since its inception, NWT has concentrated on the acquisition of properties
with potential uranium targets. NWT Uranium is listed on the NASD Bulletin
Board under the symbol "NWURF" and the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol
"NWT."
    Mr. Bertrand Taquet, P.Geo, NWT Uranium's Senior Geologist, who is a
Qualified Person (QP) as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is responsible
for the current exploration program at North Rae and has supervised the
preparation of this press release and verified the data reported above.

    The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept
    responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.

    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.

    Potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on the North Rae Uranium
Project and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target
being delineated as a mineral resource.
