Robert L. Hodgkinson, Chairman & CEO, is pleased to provide an
update on the Company's uranium exploration projects in the
Athabasca Basin, Northern Saskatchewan. The Company reports that
its winter exploration program on its 100% owned and operated

cutting work at the Sand Hill Lake, Meanwell Lake and R-Seven
projects has been completed. The geophysical team from Patterson
Geophysics of La Ronge, Saskatchewan has commenced the ground EM
surveys which should be completed by early March. Field data from
the ground EM surveys is checked and interpreted by Dejour's

guide the winter drill program. The Company is pleased to report

Smithers, BC to carry out 5000 meters of drilling (10-12 holes.
Drilling is scheduled to commence in mid-March, 2006. The drill
