This strategic Database is to be acquired for a value of $900,000, comprised of $400,000 in cash and 159,236 common shares of the Company at a price of $3.14, and will significantly advance the Company’s ongoing exploration efforts in South Texas.  The Database contains over 40 uranium targets that the Company plans to evaluate.
