Consolidated Uranium Inc. (“CUR”, the “Company”, “Consolidated Uranium”) (TSXV: CUR) (OTCQB: CURUF) is pleased to provide the following updates on the option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Mega Uranium Ltd. (“Mega”) (TSX: MGA) that was previously announced on May 14, 2020 and subsequently closed on June 18 2020, providing CUR with the option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Ben Lomond and Georgetown uranium projects in Australia.

CUR has provided notice to Mega of its exercise of the option to acquire the Ben Lomond Project, for consideration of $3,035,000, comprised of $2,500,000 for the exercise of the option and an additional $535,000 Mega is entitled to receive under the spot price contingent payment terms of the agreement. The entire amount will be satisfied by the issuance of 1,340,548 Common Shares, at a deemed price of $2.264 per share based on the 5-Day VWAP of the Common Shares up to June 10, 2022, being the second business day prior to the option being exercised. Upon issuance, it is anticipated that the 1,340,548 Common Shares will be held in escrow pending closing of the acquisition. In addition, as a result of the exercise of the option, Mega will be entitled to receive certain future payments contingent upon the attainment of certain milestones tied to the spot price of uranium, as described in the Company’s press release dated May 14, 2020. The exercise also triggers Mega’s right, for a period of 120 days from the exercise of the Ben Lomond option, to sell the Georgetown project to CUR for additional consideration of $500,000, payable in cash or shares which if exercised by Mega, will also entitle it to receive certain future payments contingent upon the attainment of certain milestones tied to the spot price of uranium again as described in the Company’s press release dated May 14, 2020.

Philip Williams, Chairman and CEO commented “We believe that Australia is a highly desirable jurisdiction for owning and advancing uranium projects. Exercising the Ben Lomond option is an important step in expanding our presence in the country.”

Closing of the acquisition remains subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions customary for a transaction of this nature. All securities issued in connection with the Option Agreement are subject to final approval of the TSXV and will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the applicable date of issuance.

About Consolidated Uranium

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., a leading U.S.-based uranium mining company, and acquired a portfolio of permitted, past-producing conventional uranium and vanadium mines in Utah and Colorado. These mines are currently on stand-by, ready for rapid restart as market conditions permit, positioning CUR as a near-term uranium producer.
