C2C Metals Corp. Acquires Uranium Mineral Claims in the Uravan Mining District
VANCOUVER, Oct. 23, 2024 - C2C Metals Corp., (CSE: CTOC) (OTCQB: CTCGF ) (the "Company" or "C2C") announced today the acquisition of five (5) uranium-vanadium ("U-V") properties (the "Properties") comprising approximately 5,400 acres (~8.4 square miles), all located in the Colorado portion of the prolific Uravan Mining District. The Uravan Mining District of Utah and Colorado hosts the Uravan Mineral Belt, a 70-mile (110 km) zone of U-V deposits in Colorado and Utah with a history of 80 million pounds of uranium production and over 400 million pounds of vanadium production since 1945. The Properties were selected based on historical information from previous exploration, indicating that specific targets hosted either drill defined historical estimated uranium and vanadium mineral resources, or areas specifically targeted for drilling by historical operators.* To view the properties please visit: https://bit.ly/4hd3M4Y.
The Vendors were paid $66,760.00 USD, $90,000 in C2C shares based on a 10-day VWAP ("Volume-Weighted Average Price") and a 1% Net Smelter Return Production Royalty.
The Properties
Eula Belle - 31 claims in the western portion of Montrose County, covering much of the historical Eula Belle mine. Union Carbide Corp. ("UCC")'s 1989 reserve records for Eula Belle indicate historical* estimated Minable Reserves1 of 43,900 tons containing 219,900 pounds U3O8 ("uranium") at an average grade of 0.25%, and 790,200 pounds V2O5 ("vanadium") at 0.90%. UCC estimated an additional Potential Resource for the Eula Belle of 37,000 tons including 135,000 pounds U3O8 at 0.25%, and 666,000 pounds V2O5 at 0.90%. UCC records indicate the Eula Belle was the leading uranium producer of the hundreds of Uravan mines with 1,598,000 pounds. U3O8, at 0.248%, recovered from 1962-1978.

Mum-Whitney Extension - 5 claims in Montrose County adjoining to, or in the vicinity of Department of Energy ("DOE") Tracts (U.S. Department of Energy Uranium Reserve Blocks not held by C2C) C-SR-21 and C-SR-23, as well as the past producing Mum-Whitney and other historical mines. The claims are located within areas identified as having high potential for additional discovery as shown by historical UCC favorability maps and are an expansion of the existing Mum-Whitney Project held by C2C.
Norther - 10 claims, in San Miguel County, adjoining DOE Tract C-SR-15-A including adjacent areas of favorability defined by UCC. The East-West trend of estimated minable U-V mineral resources, identified by DOE Tracts C-SR-15 and C-SR-15A and held by C2C's competitors, extends westward across the Norther Property.
Spud Patch - 80 claims in San Miguel County that are distributed within 4 discrete areas located over UCC's 1984 (p. 84) planned, but never drilled, targets and other zones of UCC defined favorability. C2C's Claims are in part contiguous with DOE Tract C-SR-12. When first leased, the DOE Tract initially hosted uranium resources of 180,000 pounds U3O8.
Dulaney Extension - 73 Claims in San Miguel County and is a prospective project adjacent to C2C's Dulaney Project. The Dulaney Extension is strategically located: (a.) contiguous with the DOE Tract C-SR-11; (b.) in an area of past producing mines, and; (c.) in part, overlying and surrounded areas of favorability as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, (Bell, 1953).2
