  • $400,000 on the closing of the transactions contemplated in the LOI (the “Closing Date”); and
  • 500,000 Shares on the date which is 6 months following the Closing Date; and
  • 500,000 Shares on the date which is 12 months following the Closing Date; and
  • 500,000 Shares on the date which is 18 months following the Closing Date; and
  • 1,000,000 Shares on the date which is 24 months following the Closing Date

The Company shall retain a royalty of three percent (3%) of net smelter returns from minerals mined and removed from the Property, of which the Optionor may purchase up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) at any time prior to commercial production on the Property as follows: $500,000 for one-half percent (0.5%); $750,000 for an additional one-half percent (0.5%); and $1,000,000 for an additional one-half percent (0.5%).

The LOI shall terminate if the parties have not entered into a definitive agreement within thirty (30) days of the execution of the LOI. The definitive agreement is subject to the receipt of any third-party consents or regulatory approvals, including but not limited to any necessary stock exchange approvals required by the Company or the Optionor, respectively.

The projects are located in the Eastern Athabasca Basin with the Wollaston and Mudjatik Supergroups. The region has been the focus of uranium exploration over the last 50 years and is host to the world class Cigar Lake and McArthur River Uranium Deposits which host over 550M pounds of uranium. Uranium mineralization in the Eastern Athabasca Basin occurs in three deposit types: unconformity-hosted uranium which occur at the contact between the overlying Athabasca Basin and the crystalline basement rocks, basement-hosted uranium which occur within the basement rocks and sandstone-hosted uranium which occur perched in the Athabasca sandstone. Uranium mineralization is structurally controlled and utilizing the recent magnetic and electromagnetic data, structural areas have been identified for continued exploration.
