    Trigon expands White Canyon uranium mine portfolio and provides corporate updates
    Wednesday , 19 Sep 2007
    KELOWNA, BC, Sept. 19 /CNW/ - Trigon Uranium Corp. ("Trigon" or the "Company") (TSX-V: TEL) today announced its entrance into a definitive agreement ("Acquisition Agreement") to acquire 11 Utah mining claims (the "Green Lizard" claims) in the White Canyon district of South Eastern Utah. The claims host a former operating uranium mine (the "Green Lizard" mine). This acquisition continues Trigon's strategy to establish a portfolio of mines in the Colorado Plateau. Trigon believes significant uranium resources can be developed by re-entering historical Colorado Plateau mines with the intention of following previously defined ore zones and exploring land contiguous to these mines.
    Trigon now controls 170 mining claims and 3 Utah State Leases totalling approximately 4,500 acres in the White Canyon district. These claims and leases host seven former operating uranium mines. Uranium deposits in this district occur in old river channels located in the basal Shinarump sandstones of the Chinle formation. Of these channels, the Monument Channel hosts some of the largest uranium deposits in the district, including Uranium One's Radium King mine. Together with Trigon's Blue Lizard and Giveaway, the Green Lizard Claims cover a significant proportion of this channel.

    Sidney Himmel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trigon stated "Trigon has numerous diversified strategies for growth in the uranium industry. The strategies include acquiring smaller Colorado Plateau mines in both Utah and Colorado where ores historically were processed at centralized mills. From 1949 to 1982 over 11 million pounds of uranium, at an average grade of 4.8 pounds U3O8 per ton, were mined in the White Canyon district. In Utah, only the Lisbon Valley district produced more uranium than the White Canyon district. Our mining engineers are currently developing mining plans under the leadership of Tom Buchholz, Senior Mining Engineer and manager of Trigon's Golden, Colorado office. Initial environmental analysis has been completed for most of Trigon's White Canyon mines. Milling capacity in Utah is yet to be established, however, we believe that the Blanding Mill of Denison Mines Inc. and the Shootaring Canyon Mill of Uranium One Inc. will be available for custom milling of uranium ore. The uranium industry of the Colorado Plateau is still being defined and we aim to be a uranium player in this region."
    The selling party to the Acquisition Agreement is Dan Shumway of Blanding, Utah (the "Seller"). The agreement covers 11 Utah mining claims adjoining the northern end of Trigon's Blue Lizard mine. Uranium was mined from the Green Lizard mine during the previous uranium cycle although exact production numbers are unknown. According to the agreement, Trigon will pay uranium production royalties commencing at a rate of 6% of net uranium revenues. Royalty rates increase as the price of uranium increases above pre-defined levels. Trigon will pay no royalties to the Seller if the price of uranium is less than US$60.00 per pound. To complete the acquisition Trigon has agreed to issue 137,500 common shares to the Seller and pay US $45,000 to the Seller on or before October 15, 2007. The issuance of the shares and payment of the cash portion of the acquisition are subject to regulatory approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the British Columbia Securities Commission, and the completion of due diligence by Trigon with respect to the ownership of the claims.

    Henry Mountains:


    Drilling is ongoing on the Henry Mountains property in Southern Utah. Drilling started on September 13 following a one week delay in the mobilization to the project areas of equipment. Trigon plans to complete 10 drill holes, totalling 17,000 feet. Each hole will be gamma logged for equivalent radiometric uranium grade. Trigon's Henry Mountains property is located immediately west and along trend of some of the largest known uranium deposits of Utah. The aim of the drill program is to prove uranium mineralization continues onto Trigon's property. It is anticipated that the program will be completed by the end of October, 2007 or shortly thereafter.

(Please see two previously issued press releases describing the transaction (June 25, 2007 initial and clarification press release of June 26, 2007.))
    Under the Agreements (described in the press releases of June 25, 2007 and June 26, 2007) Trigon may earn a 50% interest in the Project by funding US $1.5 Million in exploration over three years. Trigon is required to pay finder's fees to International Nuclear Inc. of Golden, Colorado ("International Nuclear") in respect of the initial US $350,000 of the funding of the Project.
