Investor Insight
A high-grade uranium explorer looking to grow its strategic footprint in southern Kazakhstan, C29 Metals is well-positioned to take advantage of a rapidly expanding uranium market and provide significant shareholder value.
Overview
C29 Metals (ASX:C29) is a Perth, Australia-based uranium mineral exploration company with assets in Kazakhstan. The company’s recently acquired flagship asset, the Ulytau uranium project, represents a “transformative acquisition” that places C29 Metals in a strategic position to leverage a rapidly growing global uranium market and Kazakhstan’s rich uranium resource and established mining infrastructure.
The Ulytau project is located near Lake Balkhash in South Kazakhstan and situated 15 km south of the Bota-Burum mine, one of the largest uranium deposits mined in the former Soviet Union.
Kazakhstan is considered a top mining country for the following reasons:
- It has a well-developed transportation infrastructure and abundant energy resources, ensuring a stable power supply for mining operations.
- It was ranked 25th by the World Bank for” ease of doing business.”
- As the world’s top uranium producer, Kazakhstan represents 43 percent of the global market.
- It is the lowest-cost producer, globally.
- It holds 12 percent of the world’s uranium resources.
Kazakhstan’s strategic location in Central Asia also provides easy access to major markets in Europe, China and Russia, and the flagship Ulytau uranium project is located 3.5 hours from the country’s largest city of Almaty.
The local village of Aksuyek has a population of ~700 people and will support C29 Metals’ exploration efforts in the near-to-mid-term, providing a base of operations and support services.
The uranium market is expected to grow over the next 10 years, with the World Nuclear Association projecting a 28 percent increase in uranium demand from 2023 to 2030. As electricity demand potentially increases by about 50 percent by 2040, there is significant opportunity for increasing the global nuclear energy capacity, especially as the world continues to pursue its clean energy agenda and a low-carbon economy.
Company Highlights
- Focused on uranium exploration in the top uranium-producing jurisdiction of Kazakhstan, with a newly granted tenement and new license applications in progress (252 sq km) and strong community support from local neighboring village members.
- Flagship Asset: The Ulytau project, located in southern Kazakhstan, 15 km south of Bota-Burum, one of the largest Soviet-era uranium mines in the heart of one of the world’s most prolific uranium-producing regions.
- Experienced Leadership: Seasoned board and management team led by Shannon Green, an executive with over 25 years of experience.
- Positive Market Outlook: Demand for uranium is expected to increase by 28 percent by 2030, and 51 percent by 2040.
Key Projects
Ulytau Uranium Project
Figure 2 – Ulytau project location in relation to other Kazakhstan Uranium mines.
The Ulytau Project is located in the Almaty Region of Southern Kazakhstan, approximately 15 km southwest of the Bota-Burum mine, which is one of the largest uranium deposits mined in the former Soviet Union.
Exploration for uranium has been carried out in the area since 1953. Uranium production at the Bota-Burum mine, next to the village of Aksuyek, commenced in 1956 and continued until 1991. Total mined reserves of Bota-Burum are quoted at 20,000 tonnes of uranium (44 million pounds).
C29 Metals has lodged two (2) new license applications with the Ministry of Natural Resources. The licenses are designed to cover ~18 km of additional prospective strike.
The Southern application, the largest of the two (2) applications, was granted on the 1 August 2024 and is contiguous with the Ulytau license area and sits immediately to the South and East of the Ulytau Uranium project tenement boundaries. The Southern application area is ~213 km2. The Northen tenements licence was granted on September 3, 2024.
The Southern tenement is interpreted as having a similar mineralised trend to that of the existing Ulytau Project area (refer to ASX announcement “License Applications Lodged around Ulytau Uranium Project” dated 24 July 2024 and the further clarification on 25 July 2024).
The Northern tenements, meanwhile, sits to the north of the Ulytau uranium project tenement and immediately north of the historic Bota Burum uranium mine. The Northern licence application area is ~39 sq km.
C29 Metals is commencing exploration work at Ulytau, following receipt of a category 4 exploration approval on August 7, 2024, which will include geophysical, field mapping and soil sampling programs.

Local Community Support
The company has held two community consultation days at the local community of Aksuyek, with a population of about 700 people, located roughly 20 km from the Ulytau project area. The community of Aksuyek have shown their strong support for the company’s planned exploration programs. Aksuyek will provide a base of operations for the work programs and can provide many of the required support services to the company.
A social support agreement was signed on July 9, 2024, with the district government providing the framework for the company to assist the village of Aksuyek with projects aligned to the social development of the community. This very important agreement demonstrates the commitment by both parties to work together to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes are sustainably delivered into the future.

Coelacanth Energy Inc. Announces Operations Update, Revised Reserve Report and Initial Resource Report
Coelacanth completed and commissioned its new battery facility in early June and subsequently started to systematically place the 9 previously drilled Montney wells from the 5-19 pad on production. Although Coelacanth has chosen to moderate the pace of wells brought on-stream because of low natural gas prices at the Station 2 hub, the results to date have exceeded expectations.
Lower Montney
Three Lower Montney wells (D5-19, E5-19, F5-19) were placed on production this summer and have meaningful initial production data as follows:
- D5-19 has a completed lateral length of 3,180 metres and had sales production for its initial 30-day period of 1,037 boe/d (57% liquids) comprised of 546 bbls/d of light oil, 2,659 mmcf/d of natural gas and 48 bbls/d of natural gas liquids.
- E5-19 has a completed lateral length of 2,775 metres and had sales production for its initial 30-day period of 1,346 boe/d (67% liquids) comprised of 854 bbls/d of light oil, 2,660 mmcf/d of natural gas and 49 bbls/d of natural gas liquids.
- F5-19 has a completed lateral length of 2,800 metres and had sales production for its initial 22-day period of 1,323 boe/d (61% liquids) comprised of 745 bbls/d of light oil, 3,121 mmcf/d of natural gas and 58 bbls/d of natural gas liquids.
The wells have exceeded initial production on a proved plus probable basis (2P) as booked by GLJ Ltd. ("GLJ") in its independent evaluation for Coelacanth.
GLJ RESERVE REPORT DATED EFFECTIVE JUNE 30, 2025
Coelacanth has updated its previously disclosed 2024 year-end reserves report as independently evaluated by GLJ. The new GLJ reserves report is effective June 30, 2025 and is a mechanical update to the prior report (the "Reserve Report"). The mechanical update does not change the production profiles provided in the 2024 year-end report but does provide the following:
- Reclassification of reserves on all 9 Montney wells on the 5-19 pad (8.7 million boe) from non-producing status (Proved Non-Producing and Probable Non-Producing) to producing status (Proved Producing and Probable Producing) given Coelacanth's new battery facility is complete and all wells are now capable of production.
- Rescheduled timing of wells being placed on production.
- Removal of $37.5 million of future development capital pertaining to facility and other capital booked prior to the July 1, 2025 effective date.
- Updated future pricing reflecting GLJ's latest price forecast.
The Report increases the overall reserve value by $40.4 million from the year-end report but more importantly increases the producing status reserves by $107.4 million (estimated future net revenues before taxes discounted at 10%). Coelacanth believes the July 1, 2025 updated GLJ Report better reflects the current status of the Company given the changes as noted above.
Congruent with the prior report, GLJ has placed reserves on less than 10 net sections of land and predominantly in the Lower Montney leaving room to expand the reserve base both aerially and vertically.
Reserves Summary
Coelacanth's June 30, 2025 reserves as prepared by GLJ effective June 30, 2025 and based on the GLJ (2025-07) future price forecast are as follows: (1)

GLJ RESOURCE REPORT
GLJ has provided a Resource Report effective June 30, 2025 on Coelacanth's Two Rivers Montney lands encompassing approximately 150 net sections over 4 identified Montney zones (the "Resource Report"). As displayed below, Coelacanth has an estimated 6.9 billion barrels of Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place (PIIP) and 5.9 trillion cubic feet of Discovered Gas PIIP. The Resource Report also estimates 8.3 billion barrels of Undiscovered Petroleum PIIP and 7.1 trillion cubic feet of Undiscovered Gas PIIP in place on its lands.
To date, Coelacanth has focused to varying degrees on 3 of the 4 Montney zones (Upper, Lower, Basal) with extensive mapping, core work, and placement of horizontal wells in all 3 zones to help determine economics and ultimate recoveries of the resource. The Middle Montney has had minimal work performed on it to date and is listed as undiscovered at this point. Coelacanth will perform additional work on the middle Montney in the future to better understand its commerciality.
The Resource Report not only portrays how large the Coelacanth's Montney resource in place is, but will be used as a tool in determining well spacing, frac design and ultimate well recoveries to aid in the overall development of Coelacanth's Two Rivers project.
| Zone | Discovered Oil PIIP (Billion Bbls) | Undiscovered Oil PIIP (Billion Bbls) |
| Upper Montney | 2.5 | 0.2 |
| Middle Montney | - | 5.0 |
| Lower Montney | 3.0 | 0.2 |
| Basal Montney | 1.3 | 2.9 |
| Total Montney(1) | 6.9 | 8.3 |
| (1) | Numbers may not add due to rounding |
| Zone | Discovered Gas PIIP (Trillion cubic feet) | Undiscovered Gas PIIP (Trillion cubic feet) |
| Upper Montney | 2.1 | 0.1 |
| Middle Montney | - | 4.2 |
| Lower Montney | 2.6 | 0.2 |
| Basal Montney | 1.1 | 2.5 |
| Total Montney(1) | 5.9 | 7.1 |
| (1) | Numbers may not add due to rounding |
Overall, Coelacanth is very pleased with its well results to date and is looking forward to establishing the ultimate recoverable reserves while increasing booked reserves and on its large Two Rivers Montney Resource for the benefit of its stakeholders.
Oil and Gas Terms
The Company uses the following frequently recurring oil and gas industry terms in the news release:
| Liquids | |
| Bbls | Barrels |
| Bbls/d | Barrels per day |
| NGLs | Natural gas liquids (includes condensate, pentane, butane, propane, and ethane) |
| WTI | West Texas Intermediate at Cushing, Oklahoma |
| Natural Gas | |
| Mcf | Thousands of cubic feet |
| Mcf/d | Thousands of cubic feet per day |
| MMcf/d | Millions of cubic feet per day |
| MMbtu | Millions of British thermal units |
| Oil Equivalent | |

Disclosure provided herein in respect of a boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent has been used for the calculation of boe amounts in the news release. This boe conversion rate is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
Product Types
The Company uses the following references to sales volumes in the news release:
Natural gas (and gas) refers to shale gas
Oil refers to tight oil
NGLs refers to butane, propane and pentanes combined
Liquids refers to tight oil and NGLs combined
Oil equivalent refers to the total oil equivalent of shale gas, tight oil, and NGLs combined, using the conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of shale gas to one barrel of oil equivalent as described above.

Resources Data
Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place (PIIP) is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered (equivalent to "total resources").
Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place (equivalent to discovered resources) is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered petroleum initially in place includes production, reserves, and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable.
Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical, and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are further classified according to the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be subclassified based on development and production status. [Reserves are further defined below].
Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political, and regulatory matters, or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. Contingent Resources are further classified in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be subclassified based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status.
Undiscovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place (equivalent to undiscovered resources) is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of undiscovered petroleum initially in place is referred to as "prospective resources," the remainder as "unrecoverable."
Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery and development and may be subclassified based on project maturity.
There is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. The key variables relevant to the evaluation are porosity, reservoir thickness, pressure, water saturation and gas composition which have increasing uncertainty, both positive and negative, with distance from existing wells.
Reserves Data
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of tight oil, shale gas, and NGLs reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. The reserve and associated cash flow information set forth above are estimates only. In general, estimates of economically recoverable tight oil, shale gas, and NGLs reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the properties, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures, marketability of oil and natural gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which may vary materially.
Individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves for all properties due to the effects of aggregation.
This news release contains estimates of the net present value of the Company's future net revenue from its reserves. Such amounts do not represent the fair market value of the Company's reserves.
The reserves data contained in this news release has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101").
Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data; the use of established technology, and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates as follows:
Proved Reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.
Probable Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.
Initial Production Rates
The D5-19 Lower Montney well was tied into the 16-03 facility, and produced an average rate of 546 bbl/d oil, 2,659 mcf/d natural gas, and 48 bbl/d NGLs, for a total average rate of 1,037 boe/d, on a sales basis, over the first 30 days of in-line production (IP30)
The E5-19 Lower Montney well was tied into the 16-03 facility, and produced an average rate of 854 bbl/d oil, 2,660 mcf/d natural gas, and 49 bbl/d NGLs, for a total average rate of 1,346 boe/d, on a sales basis, over the first 30 days of in-line production (IP30)
The F5-19 Lower Montney well was tied into the 16-03 facility, and produced an average rate of 745 bbl/d oil, 3,121 mcf/d natural gas, and 58 bbl/d NGLs, for a total average rate of 1,037 boe/d, on a sales basis, over the first 22 days of in-line production
Any references to peak rates, test rates, IP30, IP90, IP180 or initial production rates or declines are useful for confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates and declines are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery. IP30 is defined as an average production rate over 30 consecutive days, IP90 is defined as an average production rate over 90 consecutive days and IP180 is defined as an average production rate over 180 consecutive days. Readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating aggregate production for the Company.

Selected financial and operational information outlined in this news release should be read in conjunction with Coelacanth's unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which are available for review under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
OPERATIONS UPDATE
Coelacanth has surpassed many milestones over its initial three years including:
- Drilling and testing successful test pads at both Two Rivers East and West in multiple zones.
- Completing significant infrastructure including a facility capable of ultimately handling 16,000 boe/d and over 23 miles of pipelines to connect wells and facilities to major gathering systems.
- Obtaining core, pressure and other data that are invaluable in helping define commerciality to the multiple Montney horizons mapped over Coelacanth's 150 section contiguous land block.
Wells recently placed on production from our 5-19 pad have exceeded expectations and we look forward to placing all our wells on production by October 1, 2025 once all planned third party outages and /or major pipeline maintenance is completed in September. Coelacanth will calibrate production to the type curves in our independent reserve report and recently released resource report to determine ultimate recoveries and provide insights into potential drilling and completion optimizations.
Over the next few years, Coelacanth will continue with its business plan that incorporates:
- Systematically developing the resource using pad development and horizontal multi-frac technology to increase production and maximize cash flow and investment returns.
- Delineating the lands with vertical and horizontal wells to help in quantifying and understanding the commerciality of its large Montney resource base that includes up to four Montney benches over its 150 contiguous sections of land.
- Developing and licensing a flexible infrastructure plan that will allow for the resource to be scaled to a much larger production base.
Coelacanth has licensed additional locations on the 5-19 pad, is in the process of licensing additional development pads, delineation locations and additional infrastructure to grow beyond current plant capacity. While commodity prices and available capital will dictate the pace of execution of the business plan, we are very pleased with the results to date and look forward to reporting on new developments as they arise.
OIL AND GAS TERMS
The Company uses the following frequently recurring oil and gas industry terms in the news release:
| Liquids | |
| Bbls | Barrels |
| Bbls/d | Barrels per day |
| NGLs | Natural gas liquids (includes condensate, pentane, butane, propane, and ethane) |
| Condensate | Pentane and heavier hydrocarbons |
| Natural Gas | |
| Mcf | Thousands of cubic feet |
| Mcf/d | Thousands of cubic feet per day |

Disclosure provided herein in respect of a boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent has been used for the calculation of boe amounts in the news release. This boe conversion rate is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
This news release refers to certain measures that are not determined in accordance with IFRS (or "GAAP"). These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, financial measures that are determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company's performance. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP and other financial measures provides useful information to shareholders and investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's ongoing operating performance, and the measures provide increased transparency to better analyze the Company's performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted funds flow (used)
Management uses adjusted funds flow (used) to analyze performance and considers it a key measure as it demonstrates the Company's ability to generate the cash necessary to fund future capital investments and abandonment obligations and to repay debt, if any. Adjusted funds flow (used) is a non-GAAP financial measure and has been defined by the Company as cash flow from (used in) operating activities excluding the change in non-cash working capital related to operating activities, movements in restricted cash deposits and expenditures on decommissioning obligations. Management believes the timing of collection, payment or incurrence of these items involves a high degree of discretion and as such may not be useful for evaluating the Company's cash flows. Adjusted funds flow (used) is reconciled from cash flow from (used in) operating activities as follows:

Non-GAAP Financial Ratios
Adjusted Funds Flow (Used) per Share
Adjusted funds flow (used) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, calculated using adjusted funds flow (used) and the same weighted average basic and diluted shares used in calculating net loss per share.
Net transportation expenses per boe
The Company utilizes net transportation expenses per boe to assess the per unit cost of utilized transportation related to the Company's production. Net transportation expenses per boe is calculated as net transportation expenses divided by total production for the applicable period.
Operating netback per boe
The Company utilizes operating netback per boe to assess the operating performance of its petroleum and natural gas assets on a per unit of production basis. Operating netback per boe is calculated as operating netback divided by total production for the applicable period.
Supplementary Financial Measures
The supplementary financial measures used in this news release (primarily average sales price per product type and certain per boe and per share figures) are either a per unit disclosure of a corresponding GAAP measure, or a component of a corresponding GAAP measure, presented in the financial statements. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a per unit basis are calculated by dividing the aggregate GAAP measure (or component thereof) by the applicable unit for the period. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a component basis of a corresponding GAAP measure are a granular representation of a financial statement line item and are determined in accordance with GAAP.

Alvopetro Announces Production Results from Murucututu 183-D4 Well and an Operational Update
Alvopetro Energy Ltd. (TSXV: ALV,OTC:ALVOF) (OTCQX: ALVOF) announces initial production results from our recently completed 183-D4 Murucututu well (100% working interest) and an operational update.
President & CEO, Corey C. Ruttan commented:
"The initial results from our 183-D4 well are extremely encouraging and have allowed us to post record daily natural gas production levels from our 100% owned Murucututu asset. This result reinforces our vision for Murucututu and our long-term growth objectives."
Operational Update
Brazil
On our 100% owned Murucututu field, the 183-D4 well was drilled in the second quarter to a total measured depth of 3,072 metres. The well encountered the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation 106 metres structurally updip of our 183-A3 well which has been on production since the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on cased-hole gamma ray logs and normalized gas while drilling, the well encountered potential natural gas pay in the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation, with an aggregate 61 metres total vertical depth ("TVD") of potential natural gas pay between 2,439 and 2,838 metres TVD. We completed the well in seven intervals. The well went through an initial 116-hour cleanup period, recovering 2,620 barrels of completion fluid and 132 barrels of natural gas liquids. After this initial cleanup period, we flowed the well for 70 hours at a constant 32/64"choke at an average rate of 162 e 3 m 3 /d (5.7 MMcfpd, 953 boepd) with a 1,401psi flowing wellhead pressure. During this period, we also recovered a total of 995 barrels of completions fluid and 174 barrels of natural gas liquids. Average natural gas liquids (condensate) production during the flow period was 60 boepd. The flow rate over the last hour was 161 e 3 m 3 /d (5.7 MMcfpd, 947 boepd) with 1,384 psi flowing wellhead pressure. There are 12,190 barrels of 15,806 barrels of completions fluid left to recover. Given these extremely strong production results we are currently producing the Murucututu field from this single well as we are limited by our current facility capacity at Murucututu. As we continue to monitor these initial flow results, we will be evaluating options to improve production capacity of the system to allow for more production from the Murucututu field.
Our joint development on the unitized area ("the Unit") which includes our Caburé field commenced in the second quarter and four wells (2.2 net) have now been drilled. We have just commenced the completion program and expect to have the additional production online by the end of the third quarter. These development wells were primarily drilled to extend and enhance the productive plateau of the Unit and the results will also be incorporated into future Unit working interest redeterminations. The timing of drilling the fifth development well (0.6 net) is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
Development Activities – Western Canada
In June, we further expanded our joint Mannville focused land based to 17,780 gross acres (8,890 net acres) and in July, two additional multi-lateral wells (1.0 net) were drilled with an aggregate of over 19 kilometers of open hole reservoir contact. Both wells have been completed and equipped and have just commenced production. Following a clean-up flow period, we will commence oil sales from these two new wells.

BOE Disclosure
The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.

Stallion Uranium Completes First Tranche of Non-Brokered Private Placement and Announces Upsizing
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Stallion Uranium Corp. (the " Company " or " Stallion ") ( TSX-V: STUD ; OTCQB: STLNF ; FSE: FE0 ) is pleased to announce that it has closed a first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units and flow-through units (the " Offering "). This closing consisted of 21,239,800 units of the Company (each a " NFT Unit ") at a price of $0.20 per NFT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,247,960 and 1,315,000 flow-through units (each a " FT Unit ") at a price of $0.20 per FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $263,000.
Each FT Unit consists of one flow-through common share of the Company as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a " FT Share ") and one FT Share purchase warrant (each a " FT Warrant "). Each FT Warrant entities the holder to purchase one additional FT Share in the capital of the Company (a " FT Warrant Share ") at a price of $0.26 per FT Warrant Share for a period of 60 months from the closing of the date of issuance.
Each NFT Unit consists of one non-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company (a " NFT Share ") and one share purchase warrant (a " NFT Warrant "). Each NFT Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional non-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company (a " NFT Warrant Share ") at a price of $0.26 per NFT Warrant Share for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance.
The NFT Units and FT Units issued pursuant to the first tranche of the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws that expires on December 21, 2025.
In connection with the closing of the first tranche of the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 668,003 NFT Shares and 668,003 non-transferable NFT Share purchase warrants (the " Finder's Warrants ") to eligible arms' length finders, DJ Sheehan Consulting Limited and Edward Marlow. Each Finder's Warrant is exercisable into one NFT Share (a " Finder's Warrant Share ") at a price of $0.26 per Finder's Warrant Share for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance. In connection with the first tranche of the Offering, the Company has paid cash finder's fees totaling an aggregate of $173,976.67 to Accilent Capital Management Inc. and DJ Sheehan Consulting Limited.
Upsizing of the Offering:
Due to market demand, the Company has increased the size of the Offering from up to $12,000,000 to up to $15,000,000. The Company anticipates completing a second closing of the Offering on or before August 30, 2025.
The upsized Offering will consist of up to a combined aggregate of 75,000,000 FT Units and NFT Units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $15,000,000. The Company anticipates that, upon completion of all tranches of the Offering, a new Control Person (as defined below), Mr. Matthew Mason (" Mr. Mason "), will be created though Mr. Mason's anticipated purchase of 15,000,000 FT Units. Mr. Mason's subscription is subject to obtaining requisite approval from the disinterested shareholders of the Company (as further described below) and the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV ").
The gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Units will be used by the Company to incur exploration expenditures on the Company's resource claims in the province of Saskatchewan and will constitute "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The net proceeds raised from the issuance of the NFT Units will be used by the Company for exploration and development activities of its Athabasca Basin properties and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Closing of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the TSXV. Policy 4.1 of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual requires disinterested shareholder approval where a transaction creates a shareholder that holds or controls 20% or more of an issuer's shares (a " Control Person "). The Company anticipates that Mr. Mason's purchase of FT Units under the Offering will create a new Control Person pursuant to Policy 4.1. To fulfil the requirements of Policy 4.1, the Company intends to seek approval of disinterested shareholders holding or controlling more than 50% of its common shares of the Company to approve the creation of the new Control Person by written consent resolution. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
Finder's fees may be payable in connection with the completion of further tranches of the Offering in accordance with TSXV policies. In connection with the Offering, the Company has entered into an Advisory Agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the " Advisor "), pursuant to which the Advisor shall provide financial advisory, consulting, and support services in connection with the Offering (the " Advisory Services "). In consideration for the Advisory Services, subject to the approval of the TSXV, the Company will pay the Advisor a work fee equal to $150,000 (the " Fee "). The Fee shall be payable in units at the terms matching those of the NFT Units in the Offering. The Fee Units and the underlying securities issued to the Advisor will be subject to a four month and one day hold period in accordance with Canadian securities laws.
Insiders of the Company will participate in the Offering. Any such participation will be considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "). The Offering is expected to be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to such insiders nor the consideration that will be paid by such persons will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
