North Thelon Uranium Joint Venture

North Thelon Uranium Joint Venture Superior Diamonds and Forum Uranium Acquire an Additional 34,892 Hectares of Claims in the North Thelon Uranium Joint Venture ======================================================================= Vancouver, British Columbia - Nov. 30, 2006 - Superior Diamonds Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUP) ("Superior" or "the Company") and Forum Uranium Corp. ("Forum") are pleased to announce that the North Thelon Joint Venture has acquired an additional 34,892 hectares, expanding the total area in the Joint Venture to 101,562 hectares. The North Thelon Joint Venture occurs in the vicinity of the Kiggavik-Sissons Project, held by AREVA Resources Canada Inc., which contains the largest uranium resource in Nunavut. The Thelon Basin is largely regarded today as being one of the most prospective regions in the world for uranium exploration and virtually no exploration has been carried out to look for uranium deposits below the Thelon sandstone. The North Thelon Joint Venture is located southwest, north and northeast of the Kiggavik-Sissons uranium deposits. The deposits occur mainly in meta-arkoses and mafic volcanics along a 24 kilometre section of a regional northeast-southwest trending structural zone. A portion of the North Thelon Joint Venture is located within this important structural zone. The claims located north of the Kiggavik-Sissons uranium deposits are mainly underlain by Thelon sandstone within which occur structurally uplifted areas of the same rocks hosting the Kiggavik-Sissons deposits. Evaluation of historical data in government assessment files list several uranium occurrences within the Joint Venture claims. The Schultz Lake occurrences are located within hematized and brecciated dirty quartzites (same units hosting Kiggavik-Sissons deposits) at two locations 100 metres apart. Assay results of rock samples returned values of 0.10 per cent U308 and 0.11 per cent U308. At the Boundary occurrence, approximately 30 kilometres east-northeast of the Kiggavik-Sissons deposits, a number of anomalous radioactive zones were encountered in fault breccias with values in rock chips of 0.06 per cent U308 and 0.10 per cent U308. Ten kilometres north of the Kiggavik-Sissons deposits, on the southwest boundary of the Joint Venture's northernmost claim block and claims held by Cameco Corporation, radioactive granite subcrop occurs containing 0.31 per cent U308. The significance of these occurrences will be evaluated by the Joint Venture in the 2007 exploration program. The Kiggavik-Sissons project contains resources of 131 million pounds U308 grading from 0.28 per cent to 0.44 per cent U as reported by AREVA. This resource estimate is historic and Superior has not verified whether it is a National Instrument 43-101 defined resource. Superior and Forum believe that the historic estimate is relevant because of the proximity of the Kiggavik-Sissons Project to the North Thelon Joint Venture area and the presence within the Joint Venture area of uranium occurrences in the same host rocks. AREVA is currently evaluating the future development of the Kiggavik-Sissons Project. Superior and Forum plan an aggressive exploration program including airborne geophysics, ground geophysics, prospecting, geological mapping and alteration studies of the Thelon sandstone in preparation for a drilling program.
