Commenting on the proposed acquisition, C29 Metals Non-Executive Chairman, Mr. David Lees, said: “We are very excited to have secured a high-grade uranium project of this quality at a time where the uranium industry is experiencing unprecedented supply pressure, with spot prices at a 16-year high. The Ulytau Uranium Project represents a substantial opportunity for the Company, with the Project holding a Non-JORC high grade foreign estimate.”

“Over 2024, we aim to create shareholder value as we execute on a systematic exploration programme with drilling expected to commence in 3Q23, dependent on approvals.”

“With Jeremy King stepping down as Executive Director, on behalf of the Board I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his significant contribution and service to the Company since his appointment in 2022.”

“I would like to welcome Shannon to the Board, with his corporate and project development experience and in particular his Uranium project development experience, will be invaluable to the Company moving forward.”
