Strateco Finds a Australian Ally in Uranium Market

Strateco Resources agreed to a deal which will see a nearly 20 percent interest sold to Toro Energy.

According to Mining Weekly:

Under the terms of the deal, Sentient had agreed to subscribe for 125-million new fully paid Toro shares, at a price of A$0.08 each, for an investment of A$10-million.

In exchange for a further 236.5-million new shares, Toro acquired a 19.8% interest in Strateco, a C$3-million senior secured loan receivable in Strateco, C$14.1-million junior secured convertible notes in Strateco and certain other interests from Sentient.

Guy Hebert, president and CEO of Strateco, said:

We see the arrival of Toro as major shareholder of Strateco as a very positive development. Toro has shown clear interest in the Matoush project, as well as in SeqUr’s uranium projects in Saskatchewan. Toro’s experience going through permitting [for] the Wiluna project, in an area formerly under moratorium, will certainly be an asset for Strateco.
