New Mineralized Zone Discovered 8km Southeast of Two Time Zone

 Highlights

- New mineralized area (Firestone Showing) located over an area of 250m by 600m
- Drill targets being defined in preparation for a new drill program

October 17, 2007 - Vancouver, BC / Bridgewater, NS - Universal Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: UUL) and Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSXV: SSE) are pleased to announce that preliminary follow up over a zone of uranium bearing outcrop/angular boulders, approximately eight kilometres to the southeast of the Two Time Zone, has resulted in a new discovery - The Firestone Showing. A map showing the new zone, plus photos of the area, are available on the Universal and Silver Spruce websites:
(www.universaluranium.com /www.silverspruceresources.com ).

The mineralized showing covers an area of 250m by 600m of strong, pervasively hematitized/brecciated, monzodiorite/granite, giving highly anomalous to off-scale (>10,000 total count cps) scintillometer readings, along a strong northwest - southeast trending structure. Two float samples gave values of 0.08% and 0.11% U308, and proximal to the zone, boulders with values over 1.0% U308 were located. Further results are pending.

Soil geochemistry and trenching/sampling is underway on the new showing to define targets for drilling this winter utilizing a second drill rig. This additional drill rig is currently being mobilized to the Two Time Zone to assist in resource delineation drilling. Once this has been completed, the rig will be moved to the newly defined drill targets in and around the Firestone Showing. Silver Spruce/Universal currently have one drill on site dedicated to the resource delineation drilling on the Two Time Zone, where Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. have been contracted to prepare an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate planned for completion in early 2008.

Exploration Summary:

CMBNW Block

Regional exploration on the CMBNW block in the late summer/early fall consisted of regional prospecting, RadonEx (radon soil gas) and soil geochemical surveys, with follow up consisting of trenching/stripping. Prospecting resulted in the location of numerous uranium bearing outcrop and float boulders throughout the property with a total of 170 radioactive samples sent for analyses to date. Of the 130 results received so far, many showed significant (>100 ppm) uranium values, with some >1% U308. An airborne radiometric/magnetic survey, totaling 885 line km at a line spacing of 100m, was carried out by McPhar Geophysics over claims to the north of Snegamook Lake. Results are pending.

RadonEx surveys were carried out over favourable geology to the east and southeast of the Two Time Zone. Approximately 2,600 stations were read and anomalies, some much larger and stronger than the one over the Two Time Zone, were defined along structural lineaments. These are being trenched/stripped prior to the onset of winter. Soil geochemistry is centered on radon gas anomalies and radioactive showings. Approximately 1,200 B-horizon soil samples have been collected and sent for Uranium (DNC) and 30-element ICP analyses. Results are pending. Soil geochemistry will continue for as long as the weather permits. The RadonEx surveys have been curtailed due to wet conditions, which are not conducive to radon gas development over mineralized zones.

CMBE Property

Prospecting was carried out over the CMBE property in August. Analytical results indicate two new significant mineralized areas. One is an area of subcrop of a siliceous, hematitized, microgranite that gave 1.0% U308 from a single sample within a wide area of high scintillometer values. A second showing, hosted in an outcrop of hematitized granite, gave 0.28% U308, 0.6% Mo, and >100 ppm Ag. No follow up has been carried out on this property and due to the lateness of the season, it will be deferred until 2008.

Seal Lake Properties

Limited prospecting/geochemical surveys have been carried out over selected areas within the Seal Lake JV properties. All results remain pending.

"We are excited by the mineralization that we are finding on the CMB JV properties," stated Lloyd Hillier, President and CEO of Silver Spruce. "Results indicate strong uranium mineralizing systems throughout the area with good potential for further uranium zones similar to the Two Time Zone."

Rock, core and soil sample analyses are being performed by Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario, an approved, accredited laboratory, using the delayed neutron activation technique (DNC), which gives accurate results for samples carrying up to 1.0% uranium and an ICP technique that gives good results for most of the other elements, including Thorium.

ABOUT THE CMB PROPERTIES
The CMBNW and E blocks are part of the Silver Spruce/Universal Uranium CMB/Seal Lake joint venture previously announced.

Third Phase Drill Program Update

 Highlights:

- Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates contracted to prepare a resource estimate for the Two Time Zone
- Strike length of Two Time zone extended to 475 metres

October 15, 2007, Vancouver, BC/ Bridgewater, NS - Universal Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: UUL) and Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSXV: SSE) are pleased to announce further results from the third phase of drilling at the Two Time Zone.

The drilling was targeted to test the extension of the Two Time Zone to the south to conclude phase three exploration drilling prior to definition drilling working toward a resource calculation for the deposit. These last holes of the phase three program were drilled at depth to the south (CMB-07-21, 22), in the central area of the deposit (CMB-07-23) and testing a RadonEx anomaly, 600 metres to the north and west of the deposit (CMB-07-24).

Drilling on the southern extension of the Two Time Zone (CMB-07-21, 22) encountered significant intervals of low-grade uranium mineralization, with CMB-07-21 intersecting mineralization between 175 to 210 metres vertical and CMB-07-22 intersecting mineralization from 225 to 275 metres vertical. Modeling of the drill-hole data indicates that the mineralized zone should continue to the southwest, plunging at 30 to 50 degrees, approximately 70 metres below the trace of CMB-07-22. Hole CMB-07-23, in the central part of the zone, which targeted the down dip extension of mineralization encountered in holes CMB-07-10 and CMB-07-11, intersected a thick mafic dyke, which disrupted the main mineralized zone.

CMB-07-21 was drilled at Azimuth 070, dip -45, 50 metres to the west of CMB-07-20, to a total depth of 482 metres. The hole "scissored" back to the east, under CMB-07-20 which did not intersect mineralization. A mineralized zone assaying 0.027% U3O8, was intersected from 299 to 347 metres (48 metres). The best value within the zone was 0.089% over 2.0 metres. CMB-07-22, at Azimuth 070, dip-58, collared from same setup as CMB-07-21, was drilled to a total depth of 448 metres. An intersection averaging 0.011% U3O8 was encountered from 314 to 357 metres (43 metres). The best values within the zone were 0.054% over 2.0 metres, including 0.082% over 1.0 metre. CMB-07-23, drilled at Azimuth 070, dip -63, to total depth of 468 metres, tested the north central portion of the zone and was drilled from the same set up as CMB-07-11. A 77 metre wide mafic dike, from 341 to 418 metres, interrupts the main portion of the mineralized zone. Mineralization above and below the dike was weak and erratic. CMB-07-24 was drilled at Azimuth 070 and dip -45, to a total depth of 225 metres, six hundred metres to the northwest of the Two Time zone. It was designed to test coincident Radon Gas (RadonEx) and stream sediment anomalies. No significant mineralization was encountered; however, favorable brecciated/hematitized felsic host rocks were intersected over the entire length of the hole.

The Two Time zone has been traced over a strike length of approximately 475 metres, from 2+75 N to 2+00 S, and remains open to the north and south along strike and to depth. The host for the mineralization is an altered, brecciated and fractured intrusive, monzodiorite to diorite, with extensive chlorite, carbonate and hematite alteration. The orientation of the mineralization appears to be near vertical to steeply dipping; however, an estimate of true widths cannot be established at this time.

A representative from Roscoe Postle has been on site to initiate the resource definition program of trenching and diamond drilling, leading to a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate at the Two Time Zone. The definition drilling program of approximately 3,000 metres has begun using one drill with an additional drill planned to be added in late October. Plans are to have the definition drilling completed prior to the Christmas break and the resource estimate completed in the first quarter of 2008.

Universal Uranium Begins Phase I Drill Program At Artillery Peak

 Vancouver, British Columbia, September 27, 2007 -- Universal Uranium Ltd. (TSX-V: UUL) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on its 100% owned Artillery Peak Property in Mohave County, Arizona. The Phase I drill program will consist of 41 holes totaling approximately 15,700 feet of drilling and has been designed to bring the current historical resource on the property to 43-101 compliance and expand the known mineralization in the area.

Universal Uranium acquired the Artillery Peak property on February 21, 2006. The property consists of 86 lode mining claims totaling 1,777 acres and is located 112 miles northwest of Phoenix, Arizona. Based on a 1979 report released by Central and South West Fuels Inc, the northern part of the property contains a historical resource of 1.7 million pounds of U308 with an average grade of 0.113%. The drill program will begin with 26 validation holes to confirm the historical ore reserves which occur in the lower member of the Artillery Peak Formation. The lower member outcrops in his area and the drilling will be relatively shallow (less than 200 meters). Nine new exploration holes are also planned in order to potentially expand the known resource.

The southern portion of the property had a minimum of 90 holes drilled by Homestake and Hecla in the 1970's. In this phase of the project, plans are for six holes to be drilled in this area to obtain data on the regional stratigraphy of the area. The lower mineralized member of the Artillery Peak Formation does not outcrop in this area, but is presumed to be at depth. Due to the density of previous drilling, and the thickening of the sediments in this portion of the basin, it is possible that the southern area may have multiple mineralized horizons.

Richard Dorman, Vice President of Exploration, states "Due to the historical data we have obtained, we are enthusiastic about the prospects at Artillery Peak. This Phase I drill program will greatly increase our understanding of this historical resource and bring us one step closer to uncovering the potential of the property."

Universal Uranium and Silver Spruce Resources to Proceed with Joint Venture in Lieu of Combination Transaction

 Vancouver, British Columbia & Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, September 19, 2007 -- Universal Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: UUL) and Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSXV: SSE) report that they will not be proceeding with the previously announced business combination transaction (see news release dated June 15, 2007). Silver Spruce and Universal Uranium will continue to work together to formulate the terms of their joint venture in Labrador. The decision not to proceed with the business combination resulted primarily from advice put forward by the financial advisor of Silver Spruce who concluded, based on analysis of the transaction, that proceeding with the joint venture was more favorable.

After having spent $2 million dollars on exploration as required by the original agreement, Universal Uranium now owns 60% of the joint venture properties (6,517 claims totaling 393,626 acres). Universal Uranium has the right to become the operator on these claims. The 34 Bayswater Uranium Corp. claims are no longer part of this joint venture and instead are held 50% with Bayswater with the remaining 50% divided equally between Universal Uranium and Silver Spruce (see news release dated August 9, 2007).

Third Phase Drill Program Intersects 17m of 0.109% U3O8

 Highlights

- Drilling intersects 17m of 0.109% U3O8 (2.18 lbs / ton)
- Widest zone of mineralization located to date in drilling -- 199 m at 0.026% U3O8 (0.52 lbs/ton)
- Two Time Zone strike length extended to 425m
- New mineralized areas located in float and outcrop with values to 0.93% U3O8 (18.6 lbs/ton)
- Radon Gas (RadonEx) surveys show significant potential mineralized zones

August 30, 2007, Vancouver, BC/ Bridgewater, NS. - Universal Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: UUL) and Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSXV: SSE) are pleased to announce further results of the continued third phase drilling at the Two Time Zone and prospecting and Radon Gas (RadonEx) surveys from the CMBNW claim block in central Labrador.

Results for holes CMB-07-15 to 20 are reported. The new holes continue to expand and define the mineralization, along strike and to depth. The best values were: CMB-07-16 -- 192 m from 256 to 448 m, assaying 0.022% U3O8 (0.44 lbs / ton) including 9 m from 286 m to 295 m at 0.127 (2.54 lbs/ton); CMB-07-18 -- 17 m from 211 m to 228 m at 0.109% U3O8 (2.18 lbs / ton); and CMB-07-19 -- 199 m at 0.026% U3O8 (0.52 lbs / ton) including 4 m from 299 m to 303 m at 0.129% U3O8 (2.58 lbs / ton). The drilling was targeted to test the Two Time zone at depth to the south.

Mafic dikes disrupted the mineralized zone in hole 15, which tested the zone at a vertical depth of 250 m under hole 14 on Section 0+00. The hole stopped in the mineralized zone due to bad ground conditions. Hole 16 tested under hole 12 on Section 0+75 S, at a depth of approximately 250 m. It intersected a wide, lower grade section with narrow higher grade zones and included mafic dike from 311 m to 329 m. Holes 17-19 were drilled as a fence on Section 1+25 S, 50 m to the south of drill holes 5, 6, 12 and 16, on Section 0+75 S, to test the southern extension of the zone from approximately 150 m to 250 m vertical depth. All of these holes intersected wide zones (90 m plus) of lower grade mineralization in the 0.02% to 0.03% U3O8 range with higher grade intersections including 17 m of 0.109% U3O8 in Hole 18. Hole 19 which gave the widest zone of mineralization to date, 199 m of 0.026% U3O8 was stopped while in mineralization due to mechanical difficulties. Hole 20 was drilled to the west to test for a possible western offset to the Two Time Zone mineralization. It did not intersect any significant radioactivity and no samples were taken. Drilling is continuing.

"We continue to be excited by the mineralization that we are finding on the CMBNW property," stated Lloyd Hillier, President and CEO of Silver Spruce. "Ongoing results indicate the strength of the uranium mineralizing system and the increased potential for a large uranium deposit on the property."

The zone has been traced over a strike length of approximately 425 m from 2+75 N to 1+50 S and it remains open. The host for the mineralization is an altered, brecciated and fractured intrusive, monzodiorite to diorite, with extensive chlorite, carbonate and hematite alteration. The orientation of mineralization in the Two Time Zone appears to be near vertical to steeply dipping. An estimate of true widths cannot be established at this time.

RadonEx radon gas surveys have been utilized to trace uranium mineralization on the CMBNW and Snegamook properties as a guide for exploration. The non-invasive RadonEx technique uses a computer chip based radon detector which is buried in the earth in the morning, recovered in the late evening and then read in the night to give results immediately. The technique, which relies on Radon gas escaping from buried uranium mineralization, was tried on the Two Time and Near Miss showings in the early summer as an orientation. Both surveys detected and traced the mineralization giving confidence in the technique. The survey has been successful in defining a trend of radon anomalies, thought to represent uranium mineralization, along the Two Time area and these anomalies are being tested by drilling.

The surveys have also shown a number of other mineralized structural trends, particularly an east-northeast (ENE) trending zone, to the south of the Two Time on the Snegamook property, which remain to be tested. This survey has located significant anomalies, some much larger and stronger than the anomaly over the TT zone. Prospecting, guided by the RadonEx surveys, has located significant mineralization along these trends.

In the prospecting surveys, 76 rock samples taken from float and outcrop with scintillometer readings from a few hundred to > 10,000 cps have been analyzed. Of these, five gave values > 0.5% U3O8 (10 lbs / ton) and 31 gave values > 0.1% U3O8 (2 lbs / ton). The majority of these samples were taken outside of known mineralized areas and represent new areas of significant uranium mineralization. Most of the anomalous samples are associated with major east-northeast (ENE) or north-northwesterly (NNW) trending structures, the most significant of which is a 12 km long east-northeast trending suture which extends from the Near Miss showing across the Snegamook property, approximately 2.5 km south of the Two Time zone to the area of the highly anomalous lake sediment values noted in the news release of June 26, 2007. The uranium values are hosted in hematite bearing breccia zones close to the trace of the structure and in pegmatitic zones to the north of it. Another area, trending ENE and giving values up to 0.93% U3O8 (18.6 lbs/ton) in float boulders and 0.4% U3O8 (8 lbs/ton) in outcrop is located in the southeastern portion of the group. These samples are generally hematite breccias and are related to alteration (carbonatization, chloritization) in the host units. The Near Miss Showing, located in the southwestern portion of the Snegamook property, gives values from 78 to 5000 ppm (0.008% to 0.5%) U3O8 in rock samples from outcrop and also shows good coincidence with RadonEx radon gas anomalies. It has not yet been drilled. Other rock samples have been taken and submitted to the laboratory. These results are pending.

Analyses were performed by Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario, an approved, accredited laboratory, using the delayed neutron activation technique, which gives accurate results for samples carrying up to one percent uranium. Selected analytical values for the drill holes are shown in Table 1. A revised plan map of the drilling, a compilation map showing the RadonEx anomalies, the anomalous rock sample values and the associated structures plus a more detailed map showing the RadonEx anomalies in the Two Time Trend area, are shown on Silver Spruce's and Universal Uranium's websites.
