The Company also confirms that it has finalized the terms of the financing arrangement previously announced by the Company on January 2nd.
Under the financing terms, the Company will receive financing totaling C$425,000, from an arms’-length investor, to be used towards the development of the East Preston uranium project (the “Project”). In consideration for C$200,000 of the financing, the investor will earn a five percent beneficial interest in the Project. Following the investor earning such an interest, the Company will have the right to redeem the interest from the investor, and the investor will have the right to require the Company to acquire the interest, in consideration for a payment of C$200,000, which will be satisfied through the issuance of 4,000,000 common shares of the Company. The redemption right will be exercisable for a period of thirty days following the investor earning an interest in the Project.
The balance of the financing (C$225,000) received by the Company will form part of the Company’s ongoing flow-through private placement, pursuant to which the investor has subscribed for 4,500,000 FT Units of the Company.
The Company is currently working to earn a seventy percent interest in the East Preston uranium project as part of a joint venture with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SYH) and Clean Commodities Corp (TSX.V: CLE) The acquisition of any interest in the Project by the investor is subject to the terms of the joint venture and is dependent upon the Company earning an interest in the Project. The interest to be acquired by the investor will be contributed entirely by the Company and will ultimately reduce the Company's interest in the Project by a corresponding amount.
Exercise of the redemption right and the issuance of the 4,000,000 common shares of the Company to the investor remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities to be issued to the investor will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period prescribed by applicable securities laws.
