("UA92"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PURC. The Amending Agreement extends the deadline by which the parties to the SPA must close the Acquisition (as defined below) to July 31, 2024. Transaction Terms
Pursuant to the SPA, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of PURC (the "Purchased Shares") and upon completion, PURC and UA92 will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Acquisition"). UA92 is the holder of a mineral property comprised of several prospecting licenses in the Republic of Botswana (the "UA92 Project"). The Acquisition is an arm's length transaction. PURC exists under the laws of Canada and UA92 exists under the laws of the Republic of Botswana.
In consideration for the Purchased Shares, the Company will issue an aggregate of 13,300,000 common shares of the Company to the Vendors (the "Consideration Shares") at a deemed issue price of $0.40 per Consideration Share. The Consideration Shares will be subject to contractual resale restrictions in accordance with which one-sixth of the Consideration Shares will be released from lock-up every six months over a thirty-six month period.
Additionally, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition (the "Closing"), each of the Vendors will enter into voting support agreements in accordance with which the Vendors will agree to approve the appointment of all directors nominated by management of the Company at any shareholders meeting held within 12 months of Closing. Further, upon Closing PURC will have the right to appoint one director to represent 20% of the directors of the Company for a period of 12 months from Closing.
About the UA92 Project
The UA92 Project is a uranium project consisting of seven prospecting licenses totaling approximately 4,828 km2 located in central Botswana. The UA92 Project is accessible through the towns of Orapa and Francistown and can be operated year-round without seasonal influence.
Geologically, the targeted uranium mineralization at the UA92 Project is hosted within shallow, flat to shallow dipping sedimentary rocks of the Karoo Super Group. These Permian to Jurassic aged sediments were deposited in a shallow, broad, westerly dipping basin, generated during rifting of the African continent.
Mineralization typically occurs as stratabound and disseminated pitchblende and coffinite in permeable sandstone as a result of oxidized fluids intersecting reduced basin lithologies. Deposit styles can be subdivided into roll front, tabular, basal channel and tectonic-lithological type. Uranium can be recovered using conventional hydrometallurgical techniques through either acid or alkaline leaching.

The Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") considers the Acquisition to be a "Fundamental Change" under Policy 8. In addition to customary closing conditions as set out in the SPA, including, without limitation, obtaining the applicable third party, corporate and regulatory approvals, as well as the satisfactory completion of due diligence by the Company, completion of the Acquisition is subject to the following:

- approval of the CSE; and

Officers and Directors
