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


Uranium Participation Corporation (TSX:U) ("UPC" or the "Corporation") 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 8,035,744 common shares of the Corporation ("Shares"), which, at the date
hereof, represent approximately 10% of the public float. As of September 25,
2013, 106,350,413 Shares of the Corporation are outstanding. Daily purchases
will be limited to 102,327 Shares, other than block purchase exceptions.


The purchases may commence on September 30, 2013 and will terminate on September
29, 2014 or on such earlier date as UPC completes its purchases. The purpose for
the Bid is to provide UPC 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 TSX. All purchased Shares will be cancelled.


Since being listed on the TSX in May 2005, the Corporation has purchased an
aggregate of 1,209,400 of its outstanding Shares. These purchases were effected
through the facilities of the TSX pursuant to a normal course issuer bid during
the twelve month period commencing June 14, 2011. All purchased Shares were
cancelled.


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 TSX may occur if the
personal circumstances of any such person change or if 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 UPC's Corporate Secretary.
