About Consolidated Uranium
Inc.
Consolidated Uranium Inc. (TSXV: CUR) (OTCQB:
CURUF) was created in early 2020 to capitalize on an anticipated
uranium market resurgence using the proven model of diversified
project consolidation. To date, the Company has acquired or has the
right to acquire uranium projects in Australia, Canada, Argentina,
and the United States each with significant past expenditures and
attractive characteristics for development. Most recently, the
Company completed a transformational strategic acquisition and
alliance with Energy Fuels Inc (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a
leading U.S.-based uranium mining company, and acquired a portfolio
of permitted, past-producing conventional uranium and vanadium

ready for rapid restart as market conditions permit, positioning
CUR as a near-term uranium producer.

information and statements can be identified by the use of words
such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”,

phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”,
“could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be

available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, and that
third party contractors, equipment and supplies and governmental

planned exploration activities will be available on reasonable
terms and in a timely manner. Although the assumptions made by the
Company in providing forward-looking information or making
forward-looking statements are considered reasonable by management
at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will
prove to be accurate.
Forward-looking information and statements also
involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other

Although the Company has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking information
or implied by forward-looking information, there may be other

intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking
information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual
