(the " Term Loan "), which includes, among other things, (i) an extension of the maturity date of the Term Loan from March 31, 2025 to April 1, 2026 and (ii) a new non-convertible CAD$5 million standby credit facility (the " Multi-Draw Facility ") with Extract. The Multi-Draw Facility will have the same maturity date as the Term Loan and allows for multiple drawdowns. All other terms of the Term Loan remain unchanged with a 7% coupon and CDN$0.40 conversion price while the Multi-Draw Facility, if utilized, will incur interest expense at 12% per annum.

The Multi-Draw Facility will also have a $50,000 commitment fee (paid on closing) and a 1% standby fee on the undrawn portion of the Multi-Draw Facility payable quarterly. The Multi-Draw Facility will not be convertible into common shares of the Company.

In connection with the Multi-Draw Facility, Laramide has agreed to issue the Lenders 750,000 warrants to purchase common shares of the Company exercisable until October 18, 2027 at a price per common share equal to 135% of the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading days prior to closing.

Commenting on the transaction, Laramide's President and CEO Marc Henderson said: "We are pleased for the continuing support of Extract, which has been a long-term shareholder of Laramide since well before the current uranium bull market began. With many catalysts immediately ahead for us, including further drill results from our ongoing Australian drilling program and an important upcoming State election in Queensland on October 26th , we believe these newly announced transactions will provide valuable financial flexibility for us going forward and should prove mutually beneficial."

The issuance of the warrants to the Lenders remains subject to customary conditions including approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange, if applicable.

Blue Sky Uranium Forges Ahead with Ivana Project Through Strategic COAM Joint Venture

Blue Sky Uranium (TSXV:BSK,OTCQB:BSURF,FWB:MAL2) is making significant strides in advancing its flagship Ivana uranium-vanadium project in Argentina. In a recent interview, President and CEO Nikolaos Cacos detailed the company's newly formed joint venture with Abatare Spain (COAM), a strategic partnership poised to accelerate the project toward production.

Cacos highlighted the establishment of a new joint venture company, Ivana Minerales, formed with COAM to drive the Ivana deposit forward. This collaboration represents a pivotal moment for Blue Sky, as COAM is committed to funding cumulative expenditures of US$35 million to acquire a 49.9 percent indirect equity interest in the deposit. Furthermore, COAM holds the option to increase its stake to 80 percent by completing a feasibility study and fully funding the project's costs.

“As far as our long-term objectives go, it achieves the first long-term objective of creating a pathway to take it right through to production, and allows us now to begin to look at and focus on our other 100 percent owned projects that we have … coming up with a second uranium discovery,” Cacos explained.

China's Breakthrough in Uranium Seawater Extraction Boosts Efficiency by 40 Times

Chinese researchers have unveiled a method of extracting uranium from seawater at a fraction of the previous cost and energy use, positioning the country to potentially secure long-term domestic supply.
