Homeland Uranium completes Skull Creek acquisition

HLU · Price

Executive Summary

  • Homeland Uranium Corp. completed the acquisition of the Skull Creek uranium project from Hightest Resources, adding a 100% interest in 154 mining claims and one state exploration permit.
  • Consideration consisted of $300,000 cash plus 750,000 common shares; Hightest retained a 2% NSR royalty (1.5% on SEP lands) with an option to reduce it to 1% for an additional $1.5 M payment prior to commercial production.
  • Contingent payments are tied to future uranium resource definitions (10–30 million lb U₃O₈), potentially adding up to $500,000 cash and equivalent shares each for larger resources.

Key Details

  • Purchase Price: $300,000 cash + 750,000 Homeland common shares.
  • Royalty Structure:
  • 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on all production; reduced to 1.5% on State‑administered SEP lands.
  • Royalty may be lowered to 1% if Homeland pays an additional $1.5 M before issuing a notice of intent to commence commercial production.
  • Contingent Payments:
  • If ≥10 million lb U₃O₈ resource is defined (NI 43‑101), Homeland will pay Hightest $250,000 cash + $250,000 worth of common shares (based on the 10‑day VWAP preceding receipt of the technical report).
  • If ≥30 million lb U₃O₈ resource is defined, total contingent payment rises to $500,000 cash + $500,000 in common shares (inclusive of any prior payments).
  • For resources between 10 M and 30 M lb U₃O₈, payments will be prorated on a linear basis between the two thresholds.
  • Location & Synergies: Skull Creek lies ~20 mi west of Homeland’s flagship Coyote Basin project, offering operational synergies and expansion potential for domestic uranium supply.
  • Future Plans: Homeland intends to commence drilling at both Coyote Basin and Skull Creek to upgrade historic deposits to modern standards.
