THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.


Uranium Participation Corporation ("Uranium Corp" or the "Corporation") (TSX:U)
announced today that it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange
(the "TSX") to acquire for cancellation, by way of normal course issuer bid (the
"Bid"), up to 7,886,393 common shares of the Corporation ("Shares"), which, at
the date hereof, represent approximately 10% of the public float. The
Corporation may purchase up to 2,151,196 Shares in any 30-day period which is 2%
of the 107,559,813 issued and outstanding Shares as at June 9, 2011.


The purchases may commence on June 14, 2011 and will terminate on June 13, 2012
or on such earlier date as Uranium Corp completes its purchases. The purpose for
the Bid is to provide Uranium Corp with a mechanism to decrease the potential
spread between the net asset value per Share and the market price of the Shares.


Purchases will be made by the Corporation in accordance with TSX requirements,
and the price which the Corporation will pay for any Shares will be the market
price of the Shares at the time of acquisition. All purchases will be effected
through the facilities of the TSX. All purchased Shares will be cancelled.


Since being listed on the TSX in May 2005, the Corporation has not repurchased
any of its outstanding Shares.


To the knowledge of the Corporation, no director, senior officer or other
insider of the Corporation currently intends to sell any Shares under the Bid.
However, sales by such persons through the facilities of the TSX may occur if
the personal circumstances of any such person change or any such person makes a
decision unrelated to these normal course purchases. The benefits to any such
person whose Shares are purchased would be the same as the benefits available to
all other holders whose Shares are purchased.


A copy of the Corporation's Notice filed with the TSX may be obtained, by any
shareholder without charge, by contacting Uranium Corp's Corporate Secretary.
