TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov 6, 2014) - U3O8 Corp. (TSX:UWE)(OTCQX:UWEFF) (the "Company"), a Canadian-based company focused on exploration and development of uranium resources and associated commodities in South America, announces that Stewart Taylor, President of Mega Uranium Ltd., has resigned as a director effective immediately. In addition, Richard Spencer, U3O8 Corp.'s President and CEO, has been appointed to the Board of Directors.
"On behalf of U3O8 Corp. and the board, I thank Stewart for his technical expertise and guidance in the past four years since we acquired Mega Uranium's South American assets. And we are pleased to welcome Richard to the board, who has led the company in completing preliminary economic assessments on the two principle projects acquired from Mega that show both projects would have production costs in the lower quartile of the uranium industry, which bodes well for their future development," said Mr. David Constable, U3O8 Corp.'s Chairman.
About U3O8 Corp.
U3O8 Corp. is focused on exploration and development of uranium resources and associated commodities in South America. The company's uranium resources comprise three deposits defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 located in Colombia, Argentina and Guyana:
- Berlin Deposit, Colombia - a preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") shows that Berlin could be a zero cash cost uranium producer thanks to revenue from by-products of phosphate, vanadium, nickel, rare earths (yttrium and neodymium) and other metals occurring in the same deposit;
- Laguna Salada Deposit, Argentina - a recent PEA shows near surface, free-digging uranium, vanadium deposit is potentially amenable to low-cost mining and processing methods; and
- Kurupung Deposit, Guyana - an initial uranium deposit in a large emerging uranium district.
