TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/25/08 -- Macusani Yellowcake Inc. (TSX VENTURE: YEL) -Peter Hooper, President of Macusani stated: "These latest high-grade results, which are 1.6 kilometers to the West of the first holes, indicate that the high grade uranium mineralization is distributed over the whole 2 kilometer strike zone. This is very encouraging and adds credibility to our concept of building a large heap leach operation at Macusani."
Macusani Yellowcake Inc. ("Macusani") (TSX VENTURE: YEL) is pleased to announce that the Company has drilled the best hole to date containing 31.34 metres grading 0.2356 % (or 4.71 Lb/T) U3O8 from the ongoing drilling program at its Colibri II-III uranium property on the Macusani Plateau in southeastern Peru. These latest holes were drilled from the four drill collars - Platform 8 ("P08"), Platform 9 ("P09"), Platform 11 ("P11") and Platform 25 ("P25"). The locations of the drill platforms are shown on the Macusani web site.
As with the previous intercepts (see previous press releases dated November 12, and December 14, 2007 plus February 18, May 13, and June 12, 2008) each hole intersected multiple horizontally-oriented uraniferous zones at depths starting at surface down to 65.00 m. The uranium minerals are hosted in acidic volcanic rocks of rhyollite composition that cover large portions of the Macusani Plateau in "blanket like" formations from surface to a depth of approximately 100 m.
The assay results from our last ten holes are shown in the table below (Note: The interval lengths are measured along the core length and may not represent true widths.):

Quality Control
The Company employs a QA/QC protocol on all aspects of its analytical procedures. Whole core samples are sent to SGS Laboratories Peru in Lima, Peru. Samples are taken in intervals depending on the geological boundaries and type of mineralization (veins, veinlets, stockwork, dissemination, non-mineralized) but usually not more than 1m per sample. Core samples are initially shipped to sample preparation laboratories in Juliaca, 800 km southeast of Lima. Following the preparation stage, the sample pulps are sent to analytical laboratories in Lima. CIMM Peru and SGS are ISO certified assay laboratories. The sampling program is designed to include an assay quality control routine comprising the systematic run of standards, blanks and duplicate samples.
The pulps are stored at present in Lima.
