Uravan Minerals Inc. Announces Termination of Halliday-Stewardson Joint Venture
CALGARY, March 31, 2021 - Uravan Minerals Inc. (TSXV: UVN) ("Uravan") announces the termination of the Halliday-Stewardson Joint Venture with Cameco Corporation ("Cameco") (the "H-S JV"). Due to Uravan's current financial constraints, weak spot natural uranium prices and lack of access to financial markets or other sources of financing, Uravan determined it is in the best interest of its shareholders to withdraw its participation in the H-S JV. This will result in Cameco being the sole participant in the H-S JV, thereby retaining all the interest in the mineral dispositions making up the Halliday - Stewardson properties (the "Claims"). Effective upon Uravan's withdrawal from the H-S JV, and under the terms of a termination agreement, Cameco agrees to indemnify and save harmless Uravan and its successors, assigns, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents from any liabilities and obligations that may be related to past H-S JV operations. Further, Cameco shall grant Uravan a 1% Net Smelter Return royalty on the Claims.
Uravan will continue to pursue and evaluate other businesses and strategic opportunities, both within and outside the mineral exploration industry, to include mergers and RTO arrangements and will make further announcements with respect to these efforts in due course.
