Uruguay Mineral Exploration, Inc. ("UME" or "the Company"), a South American focused gold production and exploration company, announces that the Board of the Company notes the recent movement in its share price.
UME has no hedging and no borrowings. Accordingly, it benefits in full from the recent increase in gold prices. Furthermore, the drilling results released on 8 July, 4 August and 9 September 2009 for Arenal Deeps have delivered significantly better grades than those used in UME's previously published pre-feasibility study
In addition, and in keeping with its stated strategy, UME continues to investigate opportunities to acquire gold development assets in Latin America and is in early stage discussions with a number of parties.
The Board is not aware of any other reason for the recent increase in its share price.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
