Consolidated Uranium Completes the Acquisition of the Ben Lomond Uranium Project in Queensland, Australia
October 03 2022 - 7:00AM
Consolidated Uranium Inc. (“CUR”, the “Company”,
“Consolidated Uranium”) (TSXV: CUR) (OTCQB: CURUF) is
pleased to provide the following update on the option agreement
with Mega Uranium Ltd. (“
Mega”) (TSX: MGA)
that was previously announced on May 14, 2020, as amended (the
“
Option Agreement”), providing CUR with the
option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Ben Lomond and
Georgetown uranium projects in Australia.
CUR has completed the acquisition of the Ben
Lomond project for consideration comprised of $2,500,000 in
connection with the exercise of the option and an additional
$535,000 in connection with the spot price contingent payment terms
of the Option Agreement. The total amount of $3,035,000 was
satisfied by the issuance of 1,340,548 common shares of CUR
(“Common Shares”), at a deemed price of $2.264 per
share based on the five-day volume weighted of the Common Shares up
to June 10, 2022, being the second business day prior to the date
of the option being exercised. In addition, as a result of the
exercise of the option, Mega is 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 of the option to acquire
the Ben Lomond project triggered Mega’s right, for a period of 120
days from the date of exercise, to sell the Georgetown project to
CUR for additional consideration of $500,000, payable in cash or
Common Shares, at the election of CUR, 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.
Philip Williams, Chairman and CEO commented,
“Ben Lomond represents the cornerstone asset for the Company in
Queensland where we now have multiple projects in two important
uranium districts. We believe that recent legislation introduced in
Australia to remove the ban on nuclear power could be an important
step in building support for additional uranium mining operations
in the country of which CUR would be a beneficiary.”
All securities issued in connection with the
Option Agreement are subject to a hold period expiring four months
and one day from the date of issuance.
