U3O8 Corp. Closes First Tranche of Non-Brokered Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of $640,000

Toronto, Ontario – September 13, 2016 – U3O8 Corp. (TSX: UWE, OTCQX: UWEFF, SSE: UWECL) (“U3O8 Corp.” or the “Company”) announces that it has closed the first tranche (the “First Tranche”) of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”). Closing of the First Tranche resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $640,000 from the sale of 21,333,333 units (“Units”) at $0.03 per Unit.

Each Unit consists of one common share of U3O8 Corp. (“Share”) and one Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $0.045 until September 13, 2018. The securities issued and issuable pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory 4-month hold period from the date of issuance.

The Company expects to complete the remaining portion of the Offering, being the sale of up to an additional 12,000,001 Units, pursuant to a second tranche closing on or about October 9, 2016.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the purposes described in the Company’s press release of August 31, 2016.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to persons in the United States absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

About U3O8 Corp.

U3O8 Corp. is focused on exploration and development of deposits of uranium and associated commodities in South America. Potential by-products from uranium production include commodities used in the energy storage industry – in the manufacture of batteries – such as nickel, vanadium and phosphate. The Company’s mineral resources estimates were made in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, and are contained in three deposits:

  • Laguna Salada Deposit, Argentina – a PEA shows this near surface, free-digging uranium – vanadium deposit has low production-cost potential;
  • Berlin Deposit, Colombia – a PEA shows that Berlin also has low-cost uranium production potential due to revenue that would be generated from by-products of phosphate, vanadium, nickel, rare earths (yttrium and neodymium) and other metals that occur within the deposit; and
  • Kurupung Deposit, Guyana – a uranium resource has been estimated in four veins within a uranium-zirconium vein system. Resources have been estimated on four veins, while consistent mineralization of the same type has been intersected in scout drilling of an additional six veins, while yet other veins require first-time exploration drilling.
