AT SHEEP MOUNTAIN PROJECT, WYOMING
SASKATOON, Oct. 6 /CNW/ - Titan Uranium Inc (TSX-V:TUE, FSE:T4X) is pleased to provide this update on progress with the environmental baseline and engineering studies at its Sheep Mountain uranium project in Fremont County, Wyoming.
Field work for the baseline data collection for cultural resources, wildlife, and vegetation and soils has been essentially completed. Data collection continues on studies related to surface water, groundwater, radiological characterization, air quality and meteorology. No significant environmental issues have been identified at this stage.
Geotechnical field work and engineering design for site characterization are also underway. This work will allow decisions to be made on the siting of the heap leach pads, mine waste spoil heaps, the central processing facility, the declines to access the underground mine, and associated mine offices and support buildings.
The above information was presented to US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff at a regular quarterly meeting in Rockville, Maryland in September. All work is on schedule and budget for the preparation and submission of a Source Material License Application to the NRC in the second quarter of 2011.
Chris M. Healey, a Professional Geologist licensed in the State of Wyoming and Chief Operating Officer for Titan, is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this release.

Titan Uranium's vision is to be a leading mid-tier North-American uranium exploration, development and mining company. Our mission is to create shareholder value by advancing quality projects to production.
Our growth strategy is driven by three elements:
- Development: A pre-feasibility study has been completed at the Sheep Mountain Uranium Project, Wyoming. The deposit contains a NI 43-101 compliant probable reserve of 14.2M lbs. of U(3)O(8) (6,393,000 tons at 0.111% e U(3)O(8) (see Titan press release April 12, 2010). - Exploration: The goal is to discover world class uranium deposits by exploring over 1.5M acres of land in the proven Athabasca and prospective Thelon Basins. Exploration programs are also active in Utah and Wyoming. - Consolidation: The Company is actively pursuing M & A opportunities and focused on uranium-friendly jurisdictions such as Saskatchewan and Wyoming.
Titan has gained market recognition for its ability to attract strategic partners to participate in the exploration of its properties. Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation and Mega Uranium Ltd. are partners in current exploration programs managed by Titan.
Titan is well-financed and ideally positioned to emerge as a pre-eminent player in the uranium industry.
