Urano Energy Expands I-70 Uranium Project Through Strategic Acquisition from enCore Energy Corp.

UE · Price

Executive Summary

  • Urano Energy Corp. acquired the historic Snow and Probe Uranium Mines from enCore Energy Corp., expanding its I‑70 Uranium Project footprint by ~60% (an additional 599 acres).
  • Purchase consideration consisted of CAD $65,980.60 in cash plus CAD $200,000 worth of Urano common shares issued at the VWAP prior to Oct. 7 2025.
  • The properties contain historically reported indicated reserves of approximately 295,534 lbs U₃O₈ (average grade 0.23% U₃O₈) and historic production of ~935,000 lbs U₃O₈ (1973‑1982).

Key Details

  • Acquisition Target: Snow and Probe Uranium Mines (historic Atlas Corp. operations) located in Emery County, Utah, contiguous with Urano’s existing I‑70 claims.
  • Land Addition: ~599 acres (2.42 km²), raising total mineral rights at I‑70 by roughly 60%.
  • Historical Production: ~935,000 lbs U₃O₈ at 0.19% U₃O₈ (1973‑1982).
  • Historical Resource Estimate (Atlas):
  • Snow Deposit – 30,421 t @ 0.23% U₃O₈ → 139,466 lbs U₃O₈
  • Probe–North Snow Deposit – 33,457 t @ 0.23% U₃O₈ → 156,068 lbs U₃O₈
  • Total Indicated Reserves: 63,878 t @ 0.23% U₃O₈ → 295,534 lbs U₃O₈
  • Consideration Paid: CAD $65,980.60 cash + CAD $200,000 of Urano common shares (priced at VWAP for the 15‑day period ending the day before Oct. 7 2025).
  • Geology: Deposits hosted in the Saltwash Member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation, a primary uranium‑vanadium host in southeastern Utah.
  • Future Work: Company plans confirmatory drilling and NI 43‑101 technical reporting to upgrade historical estimates; Atlas’ Mine Closure Report identifies multiple drill‑ready exploration targets.
  • Qualified Person Review: Dr. Douglas Underhill, PhD (Geology), MBA, CPG – Director of Urano Energy Corp., approved the technical information per NI 43‑101 standards.
