Thorium Power Attends White House Bill Signing Ceremony: Company's Principals Observe Official Opening of Nuclear Trade Relations Between United States and India

Thorium Power Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: THPW), the leading developer of non-proliferative nuclear fuel technology for existing and future PWR reactors, yesterday joined legislators and senior government officials at the White House as President Bush signed H.R. 5682 -- the United States and India Nuclear Cooperation Promotion Act of 2006. The agreement, which will allow the United States to ship nuclear fuel and technology to India, follows the recent U.S. trade delegation -- the largest ever trade mission -- to India.

Seth Grae, Thorium's Chief Executive Officer, and Ambassador Dennis Hays, the company's Vice President and Director of Government Relations, joined senior administration officials, members of Congress and representatives of the influential Indian-American community as President Bush officially opened nuclear trade relations between the United States and India. The signing of the agreement will enable Thorium Power to pursue opportunities in a country that currently boasts the fastest growing nuclear sectors in the world.

"We applaud the signing of the Nuclear Cooperation Promotion Act. This represents a major milestone for the nuclear energy industry and an enormous opportunity for Thorium Power," noted Grae. "In developing its civilian nuclear energy industry, the government of India has signaled its desire to focus on thorium-powered technologies. We are excited to be working with India's leading scientists, business leaders and government officials as we collectively pursue the expansion of the nuclear energy market."

India possesses the world's largest deposits of thorium and its nuclear energy market will expand exponentially in the coming years. Thorium Power is currently engaged in preliminary discussions with leading representatives of India's government, nuclear power industry, and scientific institutes. The company will focus on negotiating deals once the approval process is complete.
