Consolidated Uranium Inc. (“CUR”, the “Company”,
“Consolidated Uranium”) (TSXV: CUR) (OTCQB: CURUF) is
pleased to provide the following updates on the option agreement
(the “
Option Agreement”) with Mega Uranium Ltd.
(“
Mega”) (TSX: MGA) that was previously
announced on May 14, 2020 and subsequently closed on June 18
2020, providing CUR with the option to acquire a 100%
undivided interest in the Ben Lomond and Georgetown uranium
projects in Australia.
CUR has provided notice to Mega of its exercise
of the option to acquire the Ben Lomond Project, for consideration
of $3,035,000, comprised of $2,500,000 for the exercise of the
option and an additional $535,000 Mega is entitled to receive under
the spot price contingent payment terms of the agreement. The
entire amount will be satisfied by the issuance of 1,340,548 Common
Shares, at a deemed price of $2.264 per share based on the 5-Day
VWAP of the Common Shares up to June 10, 2022, being the second
business day prior to the option being exercised. Upon issuance, it
is anticipated that the 1,340,548 Common Shares will be held in
escrow pending closing of the acquisition. In addition, as a result
of the exercise of the option, Mega will be entitled to receive
certain future payments contingent upon the attainment of certain
milestones tied to the spot price of uranium, as described in the
Company’s press release dated May 14, 2020. The exercise also
triggers Mega’s right, for a period of 120 days from the exercise
of the Ben Lomond option, to sell the Georgetown project to CUR for
additional consideration of $500,000, payable in cash or shares
which if exercised by Mega, will also entitle it to receive certain
future payments contingent upon the attainment of certain
milestones tied to the spot price of uranium again as described in
the Company’s press release dated May 14, 2020.
Philip Williams, Chairman and CEO commented “We
believe that Australia is a highly desirable jurisdiction for
owning and advancing uranium projects. Exercising the Ben Lomond
option is an important step in expanding our presence in the
country.”
Closing of the acquisition remains subject to
satisfaction of certain closing conditions customary for a
transaction of this nature. All securities issued in connection
with the Option Agreement are subject to final approval of the TSXV
and will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one
day from the applicable date of issuance.
