Bancroft Announces Further Drilling Results at Monmouth Uranium Project


Bancroft Announces Further Drilling Results at Monmouth Uranium Project

Scottsdale AZ, June 4, 2008 -- (Market Wire) -- Bancroft Uranium Inc. (OTCBB: BCFT) (“Bancroft” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce further drilling results from the Spring 2008 surface drill program conducted at the Monmouth Uranium Project, near Bancroft Ontario. The Company today is releasing assay results from drill holes 08-16 through 08-28 as outlined below.

The 2008 Exploration Phase 1 drill program commenced on February 25th and was designed to focus on areas in and around the historical drill results from the 1969 program bringing it into modern N.I. Policy 43-101 compliance, a recognized world mining standard. The drilling is also designed to extend the known strike length of the skarn which hosts the uranium mineralization with the aim of expanding the current estimated 1,800,000 lbs U3O8 potential at Monmouth.

This second series of drilling assays and intervals are from holes drilled over an additional 200 feet of strike length exposure of the host rock skarn (altered limestone) as follow up to results released on May 29th from the initial 300 feet. In total, the combined results cover drilling conducted over 500 feet of strike on the deposit. The historical drilling in 1969 covered a zone approximately 1,500 feet in length.

Assays of 0.747lb/51.4’ and 1.134lb/23.9’ in holes 08-24 and 08-25 represent the best results from this series of holes. Significant results are as follows. Assays are noted as lb representing lbs/ton U3O8 over feet:

08-16 - 0.309 lb/ 29.6’ from 49.6 to 79.2 feet,

08-17- 0.337lb/10.9’ from 35.2 to 46.1 feet and 0.469lb/2.4’ from 92.1 to 94.5 feet

08-18- 0.316lb/5.2’ from 15.1 to 20.3 feet; 0.125lb/4.6’ from 37.1 to 41.7 feet and 0.467lb/8.0’ from 55.0 to 63.0 feet

08-19- 0.397lb/49.2’ from 5.2 to 54.4 feet including 0.365lb/9.0’ from 5.2 to 14.2 feet and 0.646lb/10.4’ from 18.9 to 29.3 feet and 0.565lb/14.5’ from 34.0 to 48.5 feet. Also 0.595lb/17.3’ from 71.0 to 88.3 feet

08-22 - 0.717lb/18.5’ from 73.0 to 91.5 feet

08-23 - 0.401lb/9.8’ from 39.4 to 49.2 feet; 0.374lb/7.7’ from 55.4 to 63.1 feet; 0.794lb/33.3’ from 81.6 to 114.9 feet and 0.486lb/3.9’ from 125.7 to 129.6 feet

08-24 - 0.495lb/19.8’ from 56.0 to 75.8 feet and 0.747lb/51.4’ from 104.9 to 156.3 feet

08-25 - 1.134lb/23.9’ from 103.7 to 127.6 feet

08-25A - 0.420lb/55.1’ from 69.0 to 124.1 feet including 0.363lb/26.7’ from 73.9 to 100.6 feet and 0.656lb/19.2’ from 104.9 to 124.1 feet

08-26 - 0.389lb/31.9’ from 46.8 to 78.7 feet; 0.526lb/5.0’ from 119.0 to 124.0 feet and 0.507lb/17.1’ from 143.4 to 160.5 feet and 0.369lb/21.1’ from 188.7 to 209.8 feet

08-26A - 0.633lb/36.7’ from 135.9 to 172.6 feet including 0.788lb/18.1’ from 135.9 to 154.0 feet and 0.683lb/13.0’ from 159.6 to 172.6 feet.

08-27 - 5.377lb/2.1’ from 38.2 to 40.3 feet and 0.611lb/10.2’ from 66.2 to 76.4 feet

08-28 - 0.643lb/5.1’ from 52.5 to 57.6 feet; 0.352lb/14.2’ from 124.0 to 138.2 feet including 0.304lb/5.0’ from 124.0 to 129.0 feet and 0.521lb/6.5’ from131.7 to 138.2 feet; 0.525lb/26.3’ from 168.0 to 194.3 feet including 1.618lb/3.3’ from 172.8 to 176.1 feet and 0.578lb/13.7’ from 180.6 to 194.3 feet.

To date, Company engineers have verified the location, thickness and flat lying geometry of the uranium bearing skarn system intersected in the historical drilling. U3O8 assays have been returned from both uraninite bearing bright orange-colored calcite alteration in the skarn and from several pegmatite bodies in and adjacent to the skarn package. Initial assay results from the skarn rocks appear to validate the historical data. The geological modeling of the deposit is now coming into focus with the alteration zone rock package dipping at a fairly consistent 25-30 degrees, amenable to a potential open pit scenario.

All of Bancroft Uranium’s exploration programs are designed and supervised by Qualified Persons (“QP”) under the N.I. Policy 43-101, who ensure that programs are carried out using current industry “Best Practices”. The spring 2008 drilling program was supervised by Murray McGill P.Geo (QP). The NQ size core was logged by Mr. McGill and split on-site. Half core samples were analyzed using standard Delayed Neutron Counting (DNC) methods by Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario. Activation Laboratories employs rigorous in-house QA/QC procedures in the DNC process.

Bancroft will release a third series of drill results shortly.
