  • Forward Looking Statements
  • Except for the statements of historical fact
    contained herein, the information presented
    constitutes forward-looking statements within
    the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
    Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
    statements involve known and unknown risks,
    uncertainties and other factors which may cause
    the actual results, performance or achievement of
    the Company to be materially different from any
    future results, performance or achievements
    expressed or implied by such forward-looking
    statements.
  •  
  • Although the Company has attempted to identify
    important factors that could cause actual results
    to differ materially, there may be other factors
    that cause results not to be as anticipated,
    estimated or intended. There can be no assurance
    that such statements will prove to be accurate as
    actual results and future events could differ
    materially from those anticipated in such

    undue reliance on forward-looking statements. 
  • Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning
    Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred
    Resources
  • This presentation uses the terms Measured,
    Indicated and Inferred Resources. U.S.
    investors are advised that while such terms are
    recognized and required by Canadian regulations,
    the Securities and Exchange Commission does not
    recognize them. Inferred Resources have a great
    amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and
    great uncertainty as to their economic and legal
    feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any
    part of an inferred resource will ever be
    upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian
    rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not
    form the basis of feasibility or other economic
    studies. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to
    assume that all or any part of an Inferred
    Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or
    legally mineable. 
  • National Instrument 43-101
  • This presentation may include historical reserve
    and resource information in respect of the
    Abitibi region that does not conform to the
    requirements of National Instrument 43-101 and

Quest Uranium Corporation - Why Uranium and Why
Quest?
  • Why Uranium?
  • Public perception issues
  • Power generation growth capacity to 2030
  • Anticipated supply-demand fundamentals
  • Why Quest?
  • Experienced and respected management technical
    team
  • Focused on discovery of world-class uranium in
    North America
  • Projects in Canadas premier frontier uranium
    areas
  • Quebec - George River, James Bay (Midland)
    Option
  • Ontario - Kenora North, Aerobus, Claw Lake,
    Croon Lake

Public Perception and Acceptance of Nuclear Power
  • Efficient with a very small surface footprint
  • 1 t U3O8 16,000 t coal 80,000 bbl oil
    4,000 km2 wind farm
  • Inexpensive relative to all forms of available
    power generation (1.7/KWh)
  • i.e. - versus coal (2.4), natural gas, wind
  • Clean, non-greenhouse gas emitting even the
    environmentalists admit to this fact

5
The Nuclear Renaissance Public Acceptance ?
6
Anticipated Power Generation Capacity Growth and
Fuel Trends to 2030
  • Near doubling of generation capacity required to
    meet demand by 2030 (30,364 vs. current 16,424
    TWh)
  • Non-oil fossil fuel generation (coal, natural
    gas) projected to account for 70 by 2030,
    particularly in Asian (China, India) states
  • Signing of Kyoto Protocol by China, India may
    force them to lessen coal-generation dependence
    so as to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. Will
    seek Green Power alternatives.
  • UK, Germany, former Eastern Block countries,
    Asia considering important expansions of nuclear
    generation capacity
  • As many as 237 reactors may be built globally by
    2030 (gt10 per year), which compares with 78 (lt4
    per year, 1986 to present)

Why Quest ? Model of Opportunity
12
Why Quest ? High-Potential Properties in
Canadas Premier Frontier Areas
13
Why Quest? High-Potential Uranium Projects
  • Quebec Labrador
  • (George River) Uranium Property

14
George River Project, Quebec Labrador
  • Located 175 km northeast of Schefferville,
    Quebec (125 km west of the CVRD Voiseys Bay
    Mine)
  • Strong interest in Nickel, Iron Ore, Copper and
    Uranium
  • Excellent potential for sedimentary- and
    intrusive-hosted uranium deposits
  • Quest has property covering large areas of
    radioactivity and uranium mineralization

15
George River Project Quebecs Most Active
Frontier Area
  • The area straddles the suture between Archean
    (west) to Proterozoic-age (east) geologic domains
  • Represents a significant new area for uranium
    discovery
  • Uranor (Areva), Vale, Azimut, Virginia Mines,
    Majescor and Altius Minerals have important land
    positions in the area

Quest Uranium Corporation
16
George River Project Property Position
  • Quest has acquired over 550,000 acres in this
    Belt
  • Utilized numerous uranium in-lake sediment
    anomalies present in the George River area to
    identify targets
  • Only previous airborne geophysical coverage was
    1980s Federal surveys
  • Good outcrop and sub-crop exposure conducive to
    surface prospecting

17
George River Project Nanuk Prospect
  • Four significant areas of bedrock uranium
    mineralization up to 1 km wide and 5 km long
    discovered
  • Grades up to 1.18 (23.6 lbs/ton) U3O8
    identified
  • Nanuk 1 shows large, pervasive area of uranium
    mineralization
  • University research (McGill U.) on the geology,
    genesis and timing of uranium mineralization to
    commence this summer

18
George River Project Stewart Lake Property
19
George River Project - Stewart Lake Prospect

    EM surveys over the trace of the unconformity on
    the claims (1,150 line-km)
  • Use prospectors to relocate all historical
    occurrences and boulder fields and use geophysics
    to guide crews to new target areas
  • Complete geological mapping and rock geochemical
    surveys during summer

Kenora North Project - Geology and Mineralization
  • Geological Setting
  • Uranium hosted in a variety of granitoid rocks
    formed by partial melting and digestion of
    metasedimentary rocks and other magmas
  • Host rocks are highly strained with uranium
    mineralization closely associated with
    metasedimentary rock inclusions
  • Sampling Results
  • Mineralization evident over significant strike
    lengths from 500 m to 4.0 km and over a width of
    200-800 m within high-strain zones
  • Sampling over 5-week period showed uranium
    mineralization related to a 50-km long government
    airborne radiometric anomaly
  • No evidence of prior diamond drilling of the
    known occurrences
