Uracan and Forum Commence Drilling on Clearwater Property in Patterson Lake South Area

VANCOUVER, Sept. 29, 2016 /CNW/ - Uracan Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:URC) ("Uracan") and Forum Uranium Corp. (TSX.V:FDC) ("Forum") announce the commencement of a 3,000 metre drill program on Forum's 100% owned Clearwater Project, on trend from Fission Uranium's Triple R deposit and Nexgen Energy's Arrow Deposit in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The Patterson Lake Corridor continues to yield significant uranium mineralization 840 metres to the southwest of the original discovery in the direction of the Clearwater Project.

A total of eleven drill holes totalling 2,836 metres have been completed to date on the property.This previous drilling defined a number of target areas with altered and reactivated graphite bearing structures with elevated boron and nickel geochemistry and anomalous uranium values.Forum and Uracan plan to drill ten to twelve drill holes to follow-up these structures along the Mongo and Key trends and to test new targets that have not yet been drill tested.

In addition, a 12 line kilometre ground electromagnetic survey is currently underway on the Clearwater Project to better target the planned drilling.A map showing the planned drilling areas will be available shortly on Uracan's website: www.uracan.ca

Uracan can earn a 25% interest in the Clearwater property by spending $1.5 million (approximately $500,000 spent to date), a 51% interest in the Clearwater property by spending $3 million in exploration over three years and up to a 70% interest by spending $6 million over five years.The Clearwater Project covers a total of 9,912 hectares adjoining Fission Uranium's Patterson Lake South claims to the southwest.Forum will be the Project operator until Uracan earns its 51% interest, after which Uracan may elect to become the operator.

Marc Simpson, P.Geo., Uracan's President and CEO is the Qualified Person that has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release on behalf of Uracan.

The company also announces that it has granted an aggregate of 6,100,000 incentive stock options to directors, officers, consultants and charitable organizations at a price of $0.09 per share, exercisable for a period of 10 years, subject to TSX-V approval.
