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

3Quest Uranium Corporation - Why Uranium and Why
Quest?
- Why Uranium?
- Public perception issues

- Anticipated supply-demand fundamentals
- Why Quest?

team -
- Focused on discovery of world-class uranium in
North America -
- Projects in Canadas premier frontier uranium
areas - Quebec - George River, James Bay (Midland)

Croon Lake
4Public 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
5The Nuclear Renaissance Public Acceptance ?
6Anticipated 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)

11Why Quest ? Model of Opportunity
12Why Quest ? High-Potential Properties in
Canadas Premier Frontier Areas
13Why Quest? High-Potential Uranium Projects
- Quebec Labrador
- (George River) Uranium Property
14George 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
15George 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
16George 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
17George 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
18George River Project Stewart Lake Property
19George River Project - Stewart Lake Prospect
- Prospecting traced uranium trend over 3 km
strike-length - Grades up to 0.80 (16 lbs/ton) U3O8 identified
- Good outcrop and sub-crop exposure conducive to
surface prospecting
20Nanuk Uranium Occurrence
21Why Quest ? James Bay Option
- James Bay Option Property
- (Midland Exploration)
22James Bay Option Known U Resources
- Located in the James Bay area of NW Québec along
the Hydro Québec LG infrastructure - Hosts excellent potential for unconformity-type
(Saskatchewan) uranium deposits - Area with significant resources (Sakami Lake,
Dieter Lake 10M 24M lbs U3O8) - Can earn 50 interest in over 126 km2 covering
the unconformity - Quest is operator
23James Bay Option Property Areas

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 - Winter gridding and ground geophysics in
preparation for winter 2009 diamond drilling
27Why Quest? Ontario Uranium Properties

28Ontario Uranium Properties
29Kenora North U/Th Ratio Map
30Kenora North Project
31Kenora 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
32Canfer Surface Occurrence 0.362 U3O8
33Pancer Occurrence - Mineralization
34 New Find - Thor Occurrence Mineralization
35Kenora North Uranium Properties In Summary
- Large property position (36,000 acres, 50-km
long) uranium-bearing corridor at the contact
between the Winnipeg River greenstone belt and
the English River sedimentary-gneiss belt - Variety of uranium mineralizing styles present
across the property - Several new uranium occurrences were discovered
(Thor) in addition to the finding of the known
showings - Greater than 22 of samples collected returned
gt0.1 U3O8 with samples returning up to 0.362
U3O8 (7.2 lbs/ton) - Excellent forestry road access ensuring
relatively low cost exploration costs and the
ability to explore year-round
36Finally...Why Quest?
