Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. Announces Intent to Acquire Australian Uranium Licenses
June 27 2023 - 5:30PM
Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. (TSX:
SMC) (“Sulliden” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it
has entered into a purchase agreement dated June 27, 2023 (the
“Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire a
75% interest in the Orange Creek Uranium Project (the “Project”)
through the acquisition from a private company (the “Vendor”) of
75% of the issued common shares of Orange Creek Resources Pty.
Ltd., another private Australian company (“Privco”). The Project is
located in the Northern Territory of Australia, 38 km south of
Alice Springs, and is situated adjacent to the Pamela and Angela
Uranium Deposits.
Prior to closing, Privco will hold title to an
exploration license overlying 723.9km2 of the Amadeus Basin in the
Northern Territory. The exploration license is considered
prospective to the discovery of sandstone-hosted roll-front style
uranium mineralisation. The concession is in close proximity to the
Angela and Pamela Deposits (owned by Elevate Uranium Ltd.
(“Elevate”)) that reported a historical Inferred Mineral Resource
of 30.8 Mlb U3O8 at 1,310 ppm U3O8 (please see Elevate’s press
release dated July 8, 2021, which is available at Elevate’s website
at elevateuranium.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/02382572-2.pdf
and under their ASX profile at www2.asx.com.au). Please note that
production results at or around, and information applicable to, the
Angela and Pamela Deposits are not indications of results that
could be obtained at, or information applicable to, the
Project.
The Project has been explored sporadically since
1977. Several kilometers of redox front boundaries have been
defined by very shallow drilling of vacuum holes, reverse air blast
holes, percussion holes and diamond drill holes between 1997 and
2009 by previous operators. Multiple historical holes returned
geochemically anomalous uranium exceeding 200 ppm U3O8 over core
lengths of 0.25-2.0 m within 50 m of surface. However, these holes
are very widely spaced and no holes have tested the area below the
surface extent of the redox boundary in the sandstone, where
possible ‘steps’ in the front could be anticipated. Such steps are
key structural traps in which uranium mineralization occurs at the
nearby Angela and Pamela Deposits at higher concentrations and over
wider intervals.
The Transaction
Pursuant to the Agreement, Sulliden will acquire
a 75% equity interest in Privco (the “Acquisition”), with the
Vendor retaining the remaining 25% interest. As consideration,
Sulliden has agreed to pay AUD$400,000 to the Vendor, AUD$100,000
on the date that the Agreement is executed (the “Execution Date”),
and an additional AUD$300,000 on the later of the date of closing
the Acquisition (the “Closing”) and 45 days following the Execution
Date. As additional consideration, Sulliden has also agreed to fund
Privco’s ongoing statutory obligations and exploration activities
proposed by the Company during the period from the Execution Date
to the Closing and to fund Privco’s additional exploration
activities over the two-year period following Closing to the value
of AUD$300,000. The Acquisition is an arm’s length transaction for
purposes of the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange and remains
subject to customary closing conditions. No finder fees are payable
in connection with, and no change of control of Sulliden will
result from, the transaction. The transaction is expected to close
in July 2023.

There has been insufficient exploration to
define a mineral resource on the Project and it is uncertain if
further exploration will result in any target being delineated as a
mineral resource.
