It also marks the largest North American M&A transaction in the uranium sector following the U1A acquisition. This transaction underscores UEC’s sector-leading strategy as the fastest growing, pure play, 100% un-hedged uranium company with assets only in the Western Hemisphere. As with the U1A acquisition, the purchase price is equal to only 13.7% of the pro forma market capitalization, yet the acquisition is expected to more than double the size of our attributable measured and indicated uranium resources. This opportunity provides entry into two of Canada’s most prospective uranium districts in Saskatchewan and Nunavut, and cements UEC’s position as not only a leading American uranium mining company but a North American one as well.”
