TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/05/08 -- Pancontinental Uranium Corporation ("Pancon" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE: PUC) is providing an exploration update on current uranium exploration activities in Australia held in Joint Venture with Crossland Uranium Mines Limited ("Crossland"). Pancon is earning a 50% interest in the uranium project portfolio through the expenditure of A$8 million, which includes Kalabity, Charley Creek, Chilling and Crossland Creek projects.

CHARLEY CREEK

An air core drilling program was completed in mid-May for a total of 4,426 metres in 126 holes. The deepest hole drilled was to a depth of 129 metres. Approximately 1,112 samples will be submitted to the laboratory this week for chemical analysis for a broad range of elements including uranium and thorium. Results are expected by the beginning of July.

The objective of this phase of drilling was to probe the extensive sediment accumulations beneath the flats in the Charley Creek project area to determine if they represent a viable target for calcrete or redox-related uranium deposits. Past exploration has identified uranium occurrences in the Teapot Granite which occur in the drainage basin of the sediments. The program has provided stratigraphic information across the sediment basins which will aid in planning the next drilling program when all results are compiled and analyzed. Drill targets were delineated from the analysis of the Tempest AEM survey completed in August 2007.

In addition, ground follow-up of targets generated from the airborne radiometric and magnetic survey completed in January 2008 is underway. This reconnaissance will help to identify areas of outcropping mineralization in the Teapot Granite.

CHILLING

Initial exploration work at Chilling began with a helicopter-supported evaluation of anomalies detected from the airborne radiometric and magnetic survey completed in December 2007. Ground follow-up is expected to begin in June and diamond drilling is expected to commence in early July.

Crossland has also indicated to Geoscience Australia that it will participate in a major airborne electromagnetic survey that is planned in the Pine Creek Orogen in 2008. This should provide valuable data on the structure of basement rocks beneath later Proterozoic cover rocks throughout the Chilling project area.

Pancon holds an impressive exploration portfolio with projects in prolific, mining friendly districts. Active exploration is ongoing at four Australian projects which include Chilling, Charley Creek, Kalabity and Crossland Creek. The Chilling project has the potential to host a mirror image of a portion of the renowned Alligator Rivers Uranium Field containing the large Jabiluka, Ranger and Koongarra deposits. Pancon is earning a 50% interest in this significant uranium project portfolio through the joint venture with Crossland through the expenditure of A$8 million. Pancon and Crossland are also pursuing exploration beyond Australia through international subsidiary company, Crosscontinental Uranium Limited, and immediate plans include formulating an exploration program in Burkina Faso.
