  • Consideration: Issuance of 2.7 million common shares to the vendor and shareholders.

Notable Quotes

  • "The Arizona Strip is in a category of its own when it comes to uranium grade -- the historic mines in this district set the benchmark for what high-grade breccia pipe uranium production can look like," said Jeremy Poirier, chief executive officer of Nexus Uranium.
  • "This acquisition aims to advance our strategy of building a diversified portfolio of uranium assets across established U.S. districts by adding a fundamentally different deposit type alongside the resource-stage Chord project in South Dakota."
