Drilling Expands Near-Surface Uranium at Tasjo, Sweden

Geschrieben am 11-06-2007

Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - Mawson Resources Limited
("Mawson") TSXv - MAW; Frankfurt - MRY. Michael Hudson, President &
CEO, announces results from additional drill holes completed by
Mawson at its Kronotorpet uranium - rare earth element (REE)
prospect at the Company's Tasjo project in northwestern Sweden.

Results are available for a further 19 drill holes (KRODD06020 to
KRODD07038) of a 53-drill hole program. Results for these holes plus
the first 19 holes released on March 19, 2007 are in the attached
table.

Uranium was targeted in a mineralized sedimentary horizon from
surface to approximately 40 metres vertical depth, across an area
1,100 metres in strike and 250 metres wide. Drilling was performed
on a grid of 25 or 50- metre spacing, on sections separated by 100
metres. The aim of the program was to collect sufficient samples to
perform metallurgical test work, and to define an initial
CIM-compliant resource within the Kronotorpet area.

Better results are included below with a full list of results
presented in the attached table 1.

Tasjo is a sedimentary uranium deposit where uranium
mineralization is associated with concretions of
carbonate-fluorapatite, which constitute up to 20% of the rock. Mass
balance calculations indicate that the uranium grade of the
fluorapatite is 0.16%. Significant rare earth element mineralization
is contained within the uranium bearing sequence, again associated
with the carbonate-fluorapatite. Drilled intersections range from
0.03% to 0.12% combined REE and averaged 0.09% combined REE. The
dominant REE at Tasjo are yttrium (Y), cerium (Ce), neodymium (Nd),
europium (Eu) and ytterbium (Yb).

Mawson controls a 40-km strike extent of the uranium-mineralized
unit in the Tasjo field. Based on 80 historic drill holes and the
report, "Geological Investigations in the Tasjo area in 1963 and
1964" (G. Armands, Swedish Atomic Energy Company) it is estimated
that 75 to 150 million tonnes exist at Tasjo, with a grade range of
0.03% to 0.07% uranium oxide (U(3)O(8)), 0.11% to 0.24% REE and
3.75% to 7.5% phosphate (P(2)O(5)). Total contained metal within the
field is estimated to be between 104 to 116 million pounds of
U(3)O(8), 165,000 to 180,000 tonnes of REE and 5.63 million tonnes of
P(2)O(5). This exploration target estimate is based on the
aforementioned report. The potential quantity and grade is
conceptual in nature, as there has not been sufficient exploration
to define the target at this time; and it is uncertain that further
exploration would result in the definition of a resource.

The magnitude of the exploration target was confirmed in a recent
independent NI43-101 technical report by Andrew Browne of
Geosynthesis Pty Ltd, the current qualified person at the Jabiluka
uranium project in Australia, after a review of Swedish Geological
Survey documentation, a field visit and check analysis of core
samples.

Further information regarding the Tasjo project and the current
drilling program may be found at
http://www.mawsonresources.com/index.php?page(equal
sign)ProjectsTasjo. In addition, after a test program, a ground EM
survey commenced at the Tasjo project to map accurately the
near-surface host rock to uranium mineralization over a 20-kilometre
strike length. Furthermore, a preferred metallurgical consulting
group has been identified with extensive uranium and REE processing
experience, with which terms of reference for metallurgical research
are being discussed.

Mr. Hudson stated: "The new drill results from Tasjo continue to
demonstrate consistent at or near-surface uranium mineralization. The
Company continues to be encouraged by the regularity of grade, the
strike extent and the shallow depth of uranium mineralization.
Drilling results from the final third of the program will be released
as they become available."

Uranium was analyzed by the ME-MS81u technique by ALS Chemex Ltd's
laboratory in Vancouver, Canada, where duplicates, repeats, blanks
and known standards were inserted according to standard industry
practice. The qualified person for the Tasjo project, Mark Saxon,
Director and Vice- President of Exploration for Mawson, and a member
of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, has reviewed
and verified the contents of this release.

About the Company: Mawson Resources holds significant uranium
resources in the nuclear energy reliant countries of Spain, Sweden
and Finland. As the European Union reduces its reliance on
carbon-based energy sources, Mawson is well placed as the Company
develops its exploration portfolio towards the sustainable production
of uranium in the shortest possible time frame.

On behalf of the Board,
