                         VANE Adds to Uranium Portfolio


VANE Minerals Plc ('VANE' or 'the Company') announces an update on its uranium
activities conducted by VANE Minerals (US) LLC, its wholly-owned uranium
subsidiary.


  • Additional breccia pipe target identified in northern Arizona taking total
    number of targets to 39

  • Additional new claims on prolific La Sal channel, Utah

In northern Arizona, an additional pipe target has been identified on the
Eastern Star-Rattlesnake group which brings the total number of pipe targets
held by VANE to 39. This group is made up of the Eastern Star property which is
private land and the surrounding Rattlesnake claims consisting of 10 lode mining
claims, both of which are held 100% by VANE.

In Utah, VANE has successfully located four lode mining claims on the La Sal
channel where production is underway one mile to the west at the Pandora Mine
which is owned by Denison Mines Ltd. The four Pine claims are adjacent to two
areas of historic significant closely-spaced drilling. VANE's North La Sal
property (announced 24-May-07) is also situated on the La Sal channel seven
miles to the west.

The Company is pleased to demonstrate continued advancement and expansion of its
uranium program and the addition of the Pine claims provides another strategic
position along the prolific La Sal channel.

Kristopher K. Hefton, Chief Operating Officer VANE Minerals (US) LLC, BSc
Geology, who meets the criteria of a qualified person under the AIM Rules -
Guidance for Mining, Oil and Gas Companies, has reviewed and approved the
