Mawson Acquires New Uranium Projects in Salamanca, Spain

Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - Mawson Resources Limited
("Mawson") (TSXv - MAW; Frankfurt - MRY). Michael Hudson, President
& CEO, announced today that the Company had secured four uranium
exploration claims totaling 11,400 hectares in the Salamanca uranium
mining district of Western Spain. The ground was awarded to Mawson
after a competitive public tender over areas previously held by the
Spanish Government under the uranium State Reserve "Ciudad Rodrigo,
No. 322".

The central exploration area, held as claims Salamanca 2 and
Salamanca 3, consists of 3,153 hectares immediately adjacent to the
State Reserves that cover Spain's largest historic uranium mines,
including Mina Fé and Corta D. Mina Fé consists of primary uranium
deposits of pitchblende, uraninite and coffinite and belongs to the
fracture and breccia style of uranium mineralization. It is the
largest known deposit of its type in the world and was the most
significant uranium mine in Spain. Primary mineralization occurs as
a network of narrow veins that occupy fractures and cavities. Mina Fé
was mined by ENUSA (Empresa Nacional del Uranio, S.A.) from 1974
until 2000 and produced an estimated 11 million pounds of U(3)O8.
Further uranium historic resources lie within the State Reserve that
are yet to be exploited, including Zona M of Mina Fé, the Sageras
deposit and the Gallegos deposit.

A second State Reserve, which abuts Mawson's new Salamanca 2 and
Salamanca 3 claims, contains the Esperanza uranium deposit, an
underground mine that was operated in the late 1950s and early 1960s
by JEN (Junta Energía Nuclear). Historic resources at the Esperanza
mine are 0.3 million tonnes grading 0.055% U(3)O8 for 363,000 lbs.

The other areas successfully obtained under the tender by Mawson
include Salamanca 1 (3,310 hectares) and Salamanca 4 (4,937
hectares). These areas contain extensive and multiple uranium
airborne radiometric anomalies and are located 10 kilometres north
and 20 kilometres south of Mina Fé, respectively. More information
regarding Mawson's Salamanca's district is available at

Mr. Hudson stated: "Mawson now has a strong position within the
two key uranium centres in Spain. This new acquisition, adjacent to
Spain's largest uranium producing mines, together with the historic
uranium mine under application at Don Benito in Extremadura and our
Swedish and Finnish portfolio, helps to place the Company at the
forefront of uranium exploration in Europe."

Sweden Drilling Update: In other news, the company reports that
due to the spring thaw, drilling at Tasjo and Klappibacken has
ceased until summer access can be established. At Tasjo, 53 holes
for 2,398 metres were completed whilst 2 holes for a total of 169
metres were completed at Klappibacken. Slow progress was made at
Klappibacken due to drill rig breakdowns. Results will be released
as they become available over the next four to six weeks. The
company plans to recommence drilling at Klappibacken late in June,
when summer conditions provide suitable access. A ground EM survey
is planned for Tasjo over the next six weeks to accurately map the
near surface uranium host over a 20-kilometre strike length.

The qualified person for the Salamanca project, Mark Saxon,
Director and Vice-President of Exploration for Mawson, and a member
of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, has reviewed
