VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ValOre Metals Corp. TSX‐V: VO; OTCQB: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, (“ValOre” or the “Company”) today provided an update on the sale of ValOre’s interest in the Angilak Property uranium project in Nunavut Territory to Labrador Uranium Inc. (the “Transaction”). Further to ValOre’s news release on May 15, 2023 announcing that ValOre’s shareholders have overwhelmingly approved the Transaction, ValOre also reported that on May 17, 2023 the Company received the final approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia for the Transaction.

The Transaction is anticipated to close in the coming weeks, and ValOre will announce the precise closing date of the Transaction via news release (the “Closing Date News Release”) at least 5 trading days in advance of closing the Transaction.

Upon closing of the Transaction, the 100,000,000 common shares of Labrador issued to ValOre as part of the consideration for the Angilak Property will be distributed (the “Labrador Share Distribution”) as a return of capital, pro rata, to the shareholders of ValOre who hold ValOre shares on the record date determined for such distribution (the “Distribution Record Date”), currently anticipated to be on or around the closing date. As disclosed in ValOre’s news release of March 13, 2023, the common shares of Labrador issued as consideration for the Angilak Property to be distributed to ValOre shareholders will be subject to a hold period expiring on August 6, 2023.

For additional clarity, the precise date of the Distribution Record Date will be announced in the Closing Date News Release. The Closing Date News Release will also advise of the date upon which ValOre shares purchased in the market will no longer qualify to receive the Labrador Share Distribution. 

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

“Jim Paterson”
James R. Paterson, Chairman and CEO ValOre Metals Corp.
