NewsMega cuts Uranium zone containing Cu, Ag, Au and Mo Mega Uranium Ltd (TSX-V:MGA) Shares Issued 32,023,533 Last Close 11/15/2005 $3.40 Wednesday November 16 2005 - News Release Mr. Sheldon Inwentash reports LARGE COPPER-SILVER-GOLD-MOLYBDENUM ZONE INTERSECTED - HAMLIN PROPERTY, SHEBANDOWAN CAMP - THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO Mega Uranium Ltd. is providing an update of the drilling progress on the Hamlin-Shebandowan property, 100-per-cent-owned by Mega's Maple Minerals division and East West Resource Corp. Highlights include: a new higher-grade multiple zone discovered by drill hole HAM-05-33 on north contact EM target, 1.07 per cent copper to 1.61 per cent copper; higher-grade core zones identified within the central zone, 2.49 per cent copper over one metre in drill hole HAM-05-29b and 1.43 per cent coppper over one metre in drill hole HAM-05-30; 100-metre-wide disseminated sulphide zone cut by three holes; 800-metre-long zone confirmed by trenches and drilling; a total of 2,000 metres of mineralization traced by mapping and geophysics; breccia host rocks over 200 m wide; several other untested EM targets occur along the strike; and further assays pending. Geological details A large breccia-hosted copper-silver-gold-molybdenum-bearing system has been intersected by the first two cross-section holes HAM-05-29b and HAM-05-30, drilled at minus 45 degrees and minus 60 degrees to depths of 151 m and 176 m (line zero plus 70E), respectively. Both holes collared in disseminated sulphides mineralization with local concentrations of chalcopyrite 0.5 to one metre wide. In hole HAM-05-29b, splitting was initially done on the upper 71-metre section, as well as other sections lower in the hole. Two parts are presented below with a more complete table to follow once infill intervals are completed. In hole HAM-05-30 an 88-metre-wide zone has been split and assayed, with additional splitting of the remaining breccia to follow. Three zones, within the 88 m interval, are presented on the attached table for brevity. A complete table for the 88 m will be posted on SEDAR and the company's website. Both holes, HAM-05-29b and HAM-05-30, identified similar zones, confirming the sulphides extend to depth. A back up hole, HAM-05-36, drilled 50 m behind, HAM-05-29b and HAM-05-30, located another zone of higher sulphide concentration along the north contact with sulphide (pyrite-chalcopyrite) bearing volcanics, which expands the surface expression of mineralization to 100 m. This hole, HAM-05-36, which was just completed, was drilled to test for a new higher-grade contact zone that was originally discovered 430 m to the east in hole HAM-05-33. Assays will be reported, when available, along with additional splits of hole HAM-05-29b and HAM-05-30 to complete Section zero plus 70E. Hole HAM-05-33 was drilled northward on line five plus 00E, to test copper mineralization in a trench and was continued to a depth of 296 m (977 feet), with continuous disseminated sulphides. Veins and lenses of massive chalcopyrite-pyrite were encountered at 202 to 204 m in a chert zone within a five-metre fragment of volcanics hosted in the breccia. Two other five-metre-wide zones of massive sulphides (218 to 233 m and 235 to 240 m) occur 14 m below the chert within the breccia. Assays for these two zones are presented below and assays for the disseminated zone above will be reported once all the assays are completed. This discovery is associated with an EM conductor that was seen by the helicopter airborne EM survey and Crone ground pulsed EM survey. Other conductors along this contact occur on a 1,600-metre trend to the east from line five plus 00E that will be the subject of future follow-up drilling.

Avg. 7.2 2 0.099 209.8 0.461 Five hundred parts per million is equal 0.5 per cent, which is equal to 1.1 pounds per tonne. The molybdenum content of the zone potentially is as important as the copper in terms of value credit. Silver correlates with copper values, as originally seen in trench results reported in Stockwatch on Oct. 18, 2005. Gold values also correlate with copper, but are very elevated when high concentrations of copper occur (see trench results Oct. 18, 2005). The majority of breccia fragments are altered pink rhyolite-quartz-eye rhyolite (with occasional blue quartz-eyes), reddish-brown altered volcanic and epidote altered diorite clasts forming the remaining clasts. Chert clasts also occur containing sulphides. Magnetite is associated with the copper in most cases, along with black-green chlorite. It can still be argued that a VMS-style system occurred in the volcanics and was intruded by an alkali porphyry system to generate this unique extensive breccia. It can also be argued that a form of IOCG (iron-oxide-coppper-gold) deposit has formed. Assays for other holes will be reported as they are completed, however additional splitting will be done to help determine the extent of values beyond the zones that have been initially identified by visual examination. Basemetal and silver values (coppper, silver and molybdenum) were determined by ICP-induced coupled plasma, after an aqua regia acid digestion. Assays exceeding 100 grams silver and 10,000 parts per million copper were repeated using multiacid digestion and atomic absorption (AA). Check assays were run on high values. Preparation and assaying of the samples outlined in this news release were carried out by ALS Chemex in Thunder Bay. Gold values were determined by fire assay extraction on 30-gram samples followed by an AA finish.
