Consolidated Uranium Announces Private Placement by Premier American Uranium Inc. for Proceeds of at least C$10.35 Million
Philip Williams, Chairman and CEO of Consolidated Uranium commented, “We are thrilled to announce this financing for PUR corner stoned by Sachem Cove and Mega Uranium, two of the most knowledgeable and credible investors in the uranium space today. They clearly see the potential in PUR that we see; an exciting portfolio of exploration and development projects in two key U.S. uranium mining jurisdictions, being the Great Divide Basin of Wyoming and the Uravan Mineral Belt of Colorado and a well-timed opportunity to participate in the resurgence of the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle. The funds raised are expected to be used to advance the current portfolio including plans for a drill program at the Cyclone Project and potential project acquisitions as PUR looks to expands its existing footprint and leverage its experienced technical team.”
Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to automatically receive, upon satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of certain escrow release conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions”), one unit of PUR. Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share of PUR (each, a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of PUR (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of PUR (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$2.50 for a period of 36 months following the date of issuance of the Warrants. The Escrow Release Conditions includes the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Spin-Out as well as receipt of conditional approval for the listing of PUR’s common shares (the “Listing”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
The proceeds of the PUR Offering, net of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents, will be held in escrow and not released to PUR unless the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied by the deadline provided in the terms of the subscription receipt agreement that will govern the Subscription Receipts (the “Escrow Release Deadline”). If the Escrow Release Conditions have not been satisfied on or prior to the Escrow Release Deadline, the aggregate issue price of the Subscription Receipts (plus any interest earned thereon) will be returned to the holders (net of any applicable withholding taxes), and such Subscription Receipts will be automatically cancelled and be of no further force and effect.
Following the satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of the Escrow Release Conditions, the net proceeds of the PUR Offering are expected to be used to fund the proposed exploration programs for PUR’s projects located in the Great Divide Basin of Wyoming and the Uravan Mineral Belt of Colorado as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
