UEX to Acquire 100% ownership of JCU Exploration Company, Limited

(TheNewswire)

Ownership Stake Includes the Wheeler River and Millennium Development Projects

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan TheNewswire - April 22, 2021 UEX Corporation (TSX:UEX ) ( OTC:UEXCF) ("UEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a definitive purchase agreement with Overseas Uranium Resources Development Co., Ltd. ("OURD") to acquire 100% ownership of OURD's wholly-owned subsidiary, JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited ("JCU").

JCU has a long history in the Canadian uranium exploration and development sector dating back to 2000, when it acquired a portfolio of Canadian uranium exploration and development assets from PNC Exploration (Canada) Co., Ltd. ("PNC Canada"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation ("PNC"). JCU's key exploration projects cover an area of 139,346 ha and include a 10% ownership position in the Wheeler River Project (Denison Mines Corp. 90%), a 30.099% ownership stake in Cameco Corporation's ("Cameco") Millennium Project (Cameco 69.901%), a 33.8123% ownership in the Kiggavik Project (Orano Canada Inc. 66.1877%), and a 34.4508% interest in UEX's Christie Lake Project. JCU also owns a minority equity stake in eight other grassroots and mid-stage exploration projects within the Athabasca Basin (see Table 1 and Figure 1).

The combination of UEX and JCU will create a compelling mid-size uranium development company with exposure to near-term uranium production with a solid pipeline of advanced resource and mid-stage exploration projects.

By acquiring JCU's mineral property portfolio comprised of an indicated historic resource of approximately 79 million (M) pounds (lbs) of U 3 O 8 , and an inferred historic resource of approximately 18 M lbs of U 3 O 8, (see Table 2 for tonnages and grades) the combined companies will make UEX the second largest junior uranium resource owner in Canada. These are historic resource estimates taken from the sources listed in Table 2 (attached). A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify these historical estimates as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating this information as current mineral resources, has not verified this information and is not relying on it. The Company currently does not plan to conduct any work to verify the historical estimates other than using them to guide its exploratory and possible development work.

"UEX is honoured by OURD's trust of UEX as their selected steward of JCU and its Canadian exploration and development projects, which have been thoughtfully cultivated over the past 20 years. We are excited about what benefits this transaction will bring to UEX shareholders. The combination of JCU and UEX will be transformational, forming a unique Canadian focused uranium development and exploration company. The resulting portfolio will have a significant resource base, and ownership interests in two Tier 1 Athabasca uranium development projects, Wheeler River and Millennium, both of which have production visibility within the next uranium upswing. Shea Creek, Kiggavik, Horseshoe-Raven and Christie Lake will provide the Company with a range of solid future development projects and UEX shareholders will continue to have exposure to resource growth through our portfolio of mid-stage and resource exploration projects."

-- Roger Lemaitre, President & CEO, UEX Corporation

The Transaction

Through this transaction, UEX will acquire 100% of the shares of JCU from OURD by making cash payments of up to C$12.5 million and assuming JCU's existing liabilities. UEX's cash payments will consist of C$10 million on closing and up to C$2.5 million which is expected to be paid within 45 days of the closing date, subject to adjustment based upon JCU's actual working capital on the closing date. It is anticipated that JCU will have cash in its treasury after closing which will be retained by JCU under UEX's management .

Both UEX and OURD Board of Directors have voted in favour of this transaction. The transaction is subject to approval of OURD shareholders at a meeting scheduled for June 18, 2021. OURD is a private Japanese company with 29 shareholders comprised of some of the major companies in Japan. Closing is subject to UEX securing the necessary purchase financing and obtaining any required regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close on or prior to June 29, 2021.

UEX has committed to retaining JCU as a corporate subsidiary in order for JCU to meet its joint venture commitments.

JCU's Liabilities

Other than the usual trade payables and current obligations under its joint ventures, JCU has an outstanding liability to the Japan Atomic Energy Agency ("JAEA") as a result of a transaction in November 2000 pursuant to which JCU acquired the Canadian exploration assets of PNC Canada. JAEA is the successor company to PNC and PNC Canada.

Under the JCU-PNC Canada transaction, JCU acquired the Canadian uranium exploration assets of PNC Canada. The purchase price paid to PNC Canada was not funded in cash, but rather through an agreement to make payments from free cash flow derived from future production of uranium from the acquired projects. As of December 31, 2020 the liability, comprised of the purchase price plus accrued interest, totals $34.5 million.

JCU is required to provide JAEA with annual payments equal to 10% of free cash flow from any projects in the JCU portfolio that have entered commercial production. None of JCU's projects are currently in commercial production. The requirement for future cash flow payments to JAEA ceases on the earlier of payment of all outstanding liability (including accrued interest) and the termination date of March 31, 2030 at which time all financial obligations to JAEA are deemed to have been paid and are fully extinguished.

UEX has committed to JAEA that it will ensure that JCU honours its commitments to JAEA under the JCU-PNC Canada transaction.

Paladin Cuts Uranium Production Forecast, Share Price Declines

Shares of Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN,OTCQX:PALAF) declined this week after the company shared an update on its Langer Heinrich mine and revised its 2025 fiscal year production guidance.

The company now expects the mine to produce 3 million to 3.6 million pounds of U3O8, lower than its earlier prediction of 4 million to 4.5 million pounds. According to Paladin, the drop is the result of lower-than-expected output in October, which was caused by water supply disruptions, as well as continued variability in stockpiled ore.

Production from Langer Heinrich amounted to 186,667 pounds during the month.
