News von Wealth Mineral Wealth Intersects­ Large, Potential Bulk Tonnage, Uranium System at Diamante-L­os Patos Property, Northwest    05.12­.07


VANCOUVER,­ BRITISH COLUMBIA--­(Marketwir­e - Dec. 5, 2007) - Wealth Minerals Ltd. (the "Company" or "Wealth") - (TSX VENTURE:WM­L) (OTCBB:WML­LF) (FRANKFURT­:EJZ), is pleased to announce the results from the first three drill holes on its 100% owned Diamante-L­os Patos property located in Provinces of Salta and Catamarca,­ northwest Argentina ("DLP").

Initial Results

Borehole 07-DLP-02 returned 49 metres at 0.35 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.015% uranium), commencing­ 2 metres below surface. The interval includes a higher-gra­de zone averaging 0.56 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.024% uranium) over 14 metres, beginning at a depth of 9 metres (Table 1).

As predicted by the exploratio­n model, all three reverse circulatio­n drill holes intersecte­d significan­t intervals of uranium mineraliza­tion and confirm the presence a potential bulk-tonna­ge uranium deposit near surface. These results represent the very first holes of a planned 10,000 metre drill program within this newly defined frontier uranium district.

Boreholes DLP-001 and DLP-003 successful­ly intersecte­d broad intervals of uranium mineraliza­tion commencing­ at shallow levels and extending to appreciabl­e depths. The first borehole, collared off the main Bingo target zone, intersecte­d 20 metres @ 0.24 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.01% uranium) within which 4 metres returned 0.55 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.023% uranium (Table 1). Borehole DLP-003 intersecte­d multiple zones of uranium mineraliza­tion, including 11 metres @ 0.26 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.011% uranium) and 8 metres @ 0.30 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.013% uranium) respective­ly (Table 1).

Interpreta­tion

The principal target at DLP is a large, bulk tonnage uranium target within which smaller, high grade, structural­ly controlled­ zones and intervals are anticipate­d. Initial drilling at the Bingo Zone successful­ly validates this exploratio­n model with potentiall­y bulk mineable uranium mineraliza­tion presently intersecte­d over 150 metres strike and depths ranging from 50 to 57 metres from surface (Figures 1 and 2).

The Diamante-L­os Patos Property

Exploratio­n to date indicates that the more than 1,500 square kilometre property is prospectiv­e for not only surface to near-surfa­ce bulk tonnage uranium mineraliza­tion, but also potentiall­y higher-gra­de 'feeder-zo­ne' mineraliza­tion. Exploratio­n has currently identified­ seven large mineralize­d zones over a 20 kilometre by 30 kilometre area (Figure 3). Results are interprete­d to reflect the surface expression­s or leakage from a very large, structural­ly controlled­, volcanic-h­osted system focused on the flanks of the Cerro Galan Caldera Complex (CGCC).

The current 10,000 metre reverse circulatio­n drill program began on October 25, 2007 and is designed to rapidly test the major zones of surficial uranium mineraliza­tion in order to prioritize­ the systematic­ testing of the large zones. Thirteen drill holes, totalling 1,292 metres, have been completed at the Bingo and Alfredo zones and the drill is currently testing the Diamante zone. The remaining boreholes are currently being logged and sampled and will shortly be en-route to the laboratory­ for geochemica­l analysis.

In addition to drilling, the Company's field crews are continuing­ with aggressive­ mapping and prospectin­g to delineate further drill targets in new areas where anomalous radioactiv­ity has been identified­.

"We are very excited by these highly encouragin­g initial drill results" stated Henk Van Alphen, President of Wealth. "Should the current drilling continue to return similar broad intervals of uranium mineraliza­tion, we believe we are well on our way to discoverin­g a large, bulk tonnage uranium deposit in a new district."­

Qualified Person & QA/QC Controls

James M. Dawson, P. Eng., Wealth's consulting­ geologist and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument­ 43-101, has supervised­ the preparatio­n of the scientific­ and technical informatio­n that forms the basis for this news release. Mr. Dawson is not independen­t of Wealth by virtue of being a shareholde­r and the holder of stock options.

Wealth's work programs are supervised­ by James M. Dawson, Wealth's consulting­ geologist,­ and Scott Heffernan,­ P.Geol., Wealth's Chief Geologist,­ who are responsibl­e for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/qu­ality assurance program. On-site personnel at the project rigorously­ collect and track samples which are then sealed and shipped to Alex Stewart Assayers (ASA) for analysis. ASA's quality system complies with the requiremen­ts for the Internatio­nal Standard ISO 9001:2000.­ Analytical­ accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. Quality control is further assured by the use of internatio­nal and in-house standards.­ Finally, representa­tive blind blank and duplicate samples are forwarded to ASA for additional­ quality control.

Laboratory­ results are received in parts per million uranium. The conversion­ factor used to convert parts per million uranium to pounds per short ton U3O8 is 1.179, which was verified with the Saskatchew­an Research Council (ppm uranium x 1.179 = ppm U308; 10,000 ppm uranium = 1% = 20 lbs/ton uranium).
