enCore Energy Strengthens its Position in the Arizona Strip High Grade Breccia Pipe District
04 Dezember 2018 - 2:30PM
enCore Energy Corp. (TSX-V:EU) (the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with VANE
Minerals (US) LLC (VANE) which grants the Company exclusive access
to certain VANE uranium exploration data and information as well as
a first right of refusal covering seven of Vane’s current uranium
projects in Arizona and Utah. In exchange for this exclusive access
and rights, the Company issued 3,000,000 common shares in the
capital of the Company (the “Shares”) and has granted VANE certain
back-in rights for any projects developed from the use of the
data. The Shares are subject to a 4 month hold period
expiring on 27 March 2019 as well as certain other restrictive
covenants regarding any contemplated disposal of the shares. The
primary term of the agreement is five (5) years and may be renewed
by the Company by written notice for three successive renewal
periods of three (3) years each. Thus, the Company’s access
to these data may extend for 14 years.
“This acquisition along with the earlier data
and property position acquired from Metamin, announced in
March, 2018, provide enCore with what is thought to be the largest
collective VTEM database and one of the best property positions
covering the rich uranium bearing breccia pipe targets in the
southwest United States” said Dr. Dennis Stover, CEO of enCore
Energy. “With 100% of our assets and clear focus in the
United States, having this key set of projects and extensive vast
data set covering the highest grade uranium targets in the US puts
enCore in an enviable position to take advantage of any upswing in
uranium prices and would directly benefit the Company if a
favorable resolution supporting domestic uranium production on the
Section 232 petition now under review by the US Department of
Commerce is forthcoming”. “Furthermore, this addition will
fit nicely with the Company’s vast data collection which includes
the Union Carbide worldwide database, the UV Industries database,
the W. R. Grace uranium related files, Uranium files from Federal
Resources, Ranchers Exploration uranium files (Hecla), select Atlas
files, and a number of private collections and small partial
collections from various companies. “
In addition, the Company is currently revising
its website and looks forward to a launch and full company update
this month.
THE VANE DATA SET:
Northern Arizona
The data set includes18,000 linear miles (30,000
km) of airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) flight
surveys and aeromagnetic data which identify more than 200 untested
breccia pipe targets in the Arizona Strip District. These
targets are located on state and federal lands, not all of which
are encumbered by the current temporary moratorium. Also included
are data on seven projects currently held by VANE as well as drill
logs and other related information from earlier exploration efforts
by other companies. The Arizona Strip District is noted for uranium
bearing breccia pipes which are typically the highest-grade
deposits occurring within the United States.
Utah
Drill data are included from three projects VANE
was actively exploring prior to the current market turn down.
Various geological, geophysical, historic project reports and maps
are also included. VANE has excluded its North Wash project in
Garfield County from the transaction.
