U3O8 Corp. Announces $600,000 Non-Brokered Private Placement

19.10.2015  |  CNW

TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2015 /CNW/ - U3O8 Corp. (TSX: UWE, OTCQX: UWEFF, SSE: UWECL) ("U3O8 Corp." or the "Company"), announces that it is undertaking a best efforts non-brokered private placement of up to 24,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.025 per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $0.6 million (the "Offering"). Dr. Keith Barron, founder, major shareholder and director of the Company, will provide a lead order of $243,000. In addition, an affiliate of DSC Advisors, LP, plans to take up $150,000 of the Offering, and an affiliate of Extract Advisors LLC, a further $150,000.

Each Unit shall consist of one common share of U3O8 Corp. ("Share") and one Share purchase warrant ("Warrant").  Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $0.035 for a period of 36 months from the closing date.

The net proceeds will be used to fund ongoing work on advancing the Laguna Salada uranium-vanadium deposit in Argentina towards a pre-feasibility study. The Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") completed in September 2014 showed that the economics of the project benefit from a larger resource, and a proportion of the funding is planned for further exploration of discoveries already made adjacent to Laguna Salada.  In addition, work is also planned for an initial pilot plant designed to provide more detail on costs associated with mining and processing of uranium-vanadium – bearing gravels from the project – and this data would be available for incorporation in a future pre-feasibility or full feasibility study. Funds would also be used to maintain the Berlin project in Colombia in good standing, and for general corporate purposes.

The securities issued and issuable pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory 4-month hold period. The Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals.

Dr. Barron's participation in the offering constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). Such participation is subject to approval of the directors who are independent of Dr. Barron, and is expected to be exempt from the valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the shares to be issued to Dr. Barron will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

About U3O8 Corp.

U3O8 Corp. is an advanced exploration company focused on exploration and resource expansion of uranium and associated commodities in South America – a promising new frontier for uranium exploration and development. In just one year, U3O8 Corp.'s uranium resources have grown 7-fold with deposits now in Colombia, Argentina and Guyana comprising of:

  • Laguna Salada Deposit, Argentina – a preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") shows this near surface, free-digging uranium-vanadium deposit is potentially amenable to low-cost mining and processing methods;

  • Berlin Deposit, Colombia – a PEA shows that Berlin could be a potential low-cost uranium project thanks to revenue from by-products of phosphate, vanadium, nickel, rare earths (yttrium and neodymium) and other metals occurring in the same deposit; and

  • Kurupung Deposit, Guyana – an initial uranium deposit in a large emerging uranium district.

Additional information on U3O8 Corp. and its mineral resources are available at www.u3o8corp.com.
