Dejour Sees Leverage in Titan Uranium -- Japan Oil, Gas and Mining (JOGMEC) Joint Venture

Robert L. Hodgkinson, Chairman & CEO, is very pleased to announce that an associated company, Titan Uranium Inc. (AMEX:DEJ)(TSX VENTURE:DEJ)(FWB:D5R), has signed a letter of intent to joint venture a significant Athabasca Basin uranium exploration project with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), a $7-billion international mining and oil-and-gas company with the mission to secure a stable supply of oil, natural gas and minerals for Japan. JOGMEC, under this option, has the opportunity to earn 50% of the 400,000-acre Virgin Trend Project, which is controlled by Titan, by spending $9 million in exploration over three years. Dejour owns 33.5% of the issued capital of Titan and, notably, retains a 10% carried interest and 1% NSR in almost one million acres of prospective uranium properties in Canada’s Athabasca Basin now owned by Titan, including the subject property of this joint venture, one of 13 projects acquired from Dejour by Titan early in 2007. This is the third such externally funded joint venture that Titan has concluded in the past 12 months, where Titan is the generator. Two of these joint ventures cover project areas on which Dejour retains both carried and royalty interests as previously noted. This provides Dejour with dual upside leverage from a uranium discovery on any of these properties, absent capital expenditure. It also provides a guide as to a minimum imputed value attributable to each of these carried interests. Dejour is very pleased with the reputation Titan is building as a generator of prime Canadian uranium properties worthy of exploration by sophisticated international mining companies. Dejour encourages a continuation of this method of property exploitation, particularly through this time of consolidating values in the uranium exploration sector.
