CALGARY, Sept. 29, 2016 - Uravan Minerals Inc. ("Uravan" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has closed the private placement announced on August 12, 2016, by issuing 1,120,000 units ("Units"). The Units were issued at a price of $0.30 per Unit for aggregate proceeds of $336,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation ("Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will expire 24 months from the closing date of the Offering, and will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share of the Corporation at a price of $0.45 per Common Share. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period. Proceeds of the Offering will be used by Uravan to fund its drilling and exploration activities on Uravan's 100% owned ORX project, Athabasca Basin1, Saskatchewan (map link).
The ORX drill program commenced on September 27, 2016. Drill-hole targeting is very focused over the ORX Anomaly (map link), an area measuring approximately 2 sq. km, consisting of a discrete southwest-trending corridor of anomalous concentrations of radiogenic 207Pb/206Pb ratios2 (<0.61) occurring in the clay-size fraction from soils. This focused target has the highest positive correlation with the ORX (ZTEM3) conductive system and the L-1 lineament (map link). The completion of this program is anticipated by mid-October 2016.
Larry Lahusen, CEO for Uravan, states, "Uravan appreciates the interest and support of the participants in this private placement. We continue to seek additional financing opportunities to allow us to move forward. The current drilling on the ORX Anomaly is a significant and very focused test of a well-defined surface geochemical signature that is highly supported by structure and a coincident conductive system. This combination provides an opportunity to substantially advance this project".
Dr. Colin Dunn, P. Geo., technical advisor for Uravan, is the Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101 with respect to the technical information in this press release. Dr. Colin Dunn, an independent specialist in biogeochemistry, is working closely with Uravan's technical group to advance the evaluation and interpretation of surface geochemical data.
1The Athabasca Basin is an ancient (Paleoproterozoic) sandstone basin located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The Athabasca Group sandstone and the underlying crystalline basement rocks host high-grade uranium deposits, either at the sandstone-basement unconformity (sandstone-hosted mineralization) or within the underlying structurally disrupted crystalline basement lithologies (basement-hosted mineralization). These unconformity-related uranium deposits account for about 20 percent of the world's natural uranium production. The ore grades are high, typically grading 2% to 20% U308.
2Natural uranium is primarily composed of two isotopes: 235 U = 0.72%, the fissile fraction, and 238U = 99.284%, is the non-fissile fraction. The lead (Pb) isotopes 207Pb and 206Pb are the radioactive (radiogenic) decay products of natural uranium: 235 U decays to 207Pb and 238U decays to 206Pb. The presence of low 207Pb/206Pb isotopic ratios (< approx. 0.60) is used to identify possible U deposits because this ratio is unique and distinctively low for Pb derived from a U deposit relative to any other geological source.
3The airborne natural source Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) system provides high resolution EM data at depths >1500 m and excellent resistivity discrimination for detection of conductive basement anomalies and low-resistivity signatures in the overlying sandstone.
Uravan is a Calgary, Alberta-based diversified mineral exploration company that utilizes applied research to develop innovative exploration technologies to identify buried uranium deposits in under-explored areas. Our exploration focus in uranium is for potential high-grade unconformity-related uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin in Canada. Uravan is a publicly listed company on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol UVN. All of the mineral properties Uravan owns are considered to be in the exploration stage of development.
