Jun. 8, 2011 (Marketwire) --

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/08/11 -- Uranium North Resource Corp. ("Uranium North" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:UNR) reports that the drill is being mobilized for the 2011 drill program on the Company's 100% owned Amer Lake uranium project in Nunavut. The program will attempt to increase the 19.3 million pound uranium resource(i). Drilling is expected to begin around the second week of June.

The proposed program entails at least 2500 metres of reverse circulation drilling by Northspan Explorations Ltd., on the southeast extension of the Main Zone, a uranium bearing arkosic sandstone unit. Geology and geophysics indicate the Main Zone extends to the southeast.

"Continuing to expand our uranium resource at a low cost, allows the company to develop an existing asset in a commodity that is projected to have a long term supply deficit. Our goal this year is to continue to participate in uranium exploration while advancing our gold and silver projects," says Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Uranium North Resources.

A contract has been signed with Geovector Management Inc. to oversee the field operation and to complete an independent NI 43-101 resource update and accompanying report. Geovector completed the initial NI 43-101 resource and report(i) in 2009.

Bruce Kienlen, P.Geol, and Graham Gill P.Geo, are the Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101, reviewing data for this property. Personnel from Geovector will also act as Qualified Persons for the field operation and for the updated resource estimation on this project.
