While the Company already has the ability to work on all of the EPLs, the official approval to transfer these four EPLs accounts for 88% of the recently purchased uranium exploration portfolio, which are now owned by Puranium's 85%-owned Namibian subsidiaries.

The balance of US$20,422 and 1,026,860 common shares, including 93,630 common shares for the finders, will be paid when the transfers of the remaining three EPLs are completed.
This issuance increases Puranium's tightly-held, capital structure to 17,018,116 common shares and 5,530,000 common share purchase warrants (CSE: UX.WT), which are exercisable at $0.35 until December 23, 2023.
"We continue to work through the historical data on the EPLs in order to complete a formulated plan for exploration for the third and fourth quarters of this year. The transfer of the EPLs is the first sign of our good standing with the Namibian Government and we look forward a strong and fruitful relationship moving forward," stated Puranium President and CEO, Jason Bagg.
