VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 2, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. (TSX-V:ABN) and International Uranium Corporation (TSX:IUC) are pleased to announce that the two companies have signed a Option Agreement whereby IUC has acquired an exclusive option for a 51% interest in Consolidated Abaddon's Huard -- Kirsch Lakes uranium property.
IUC can earn a 51% interest in the property by incurring Cdn $1,500,000 of exploration expenditures on or before November 01, 2008, and has paid a cash payment of Cdn $25,000.
The Huard -- Kirsch Lakes property is located in the eastern Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, approximately 20 km northwest of the McArthur River (U3O8) mine and 40 km southwest of the Cigar Lake (U3O8) deposit, considered to be the largest high-grade uranium deposits in the world.

An Airborne MegaTem survey carried out for Consolodated Abaddon by Fugro in the early winter of 2005 has revealed three previously untested conductive trends having a combined strike length of approx. 15 km on the Huard -- Kirsch Lakes property. The conductive responses are interpreted to be derived from a basement source along the favorable Wollaston -- Mudjatik transition zone.
IUC will undertake geophysical surveys including moving loop TEM and gravity prior to April 30, 2006, to define drill targets.
