Toronto, Ontario – August 03, 2022 – U3O8 Corp. (NEX: UWE.H), (“U3O8” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of C$2,500,000 (the “Offering”). Mega Uranium Ltd. (“Mega”) has subscribed for 5,140,909 Units (as defined below) under the Offering which, combined with its prior position, brings its holding to 10.1% of the common shares of U3O8 (the “Common Shares”) on a non-diluted basis. Further to the news release of the Company dated July 11, 2022, the Company anticipates that the Common Shares will resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) on or around August 5, 2022.

Mr. Trumbull Fisher, Chairman of U3O8 commented, “We are pleased with the strong support from investors leading to a successful completion of the private placement. The proceeds, when taken together with the market value of the common shares of Consolidated Uranium Inc. (TSXV: CUR). and Labrador Uranium Inc. (TSXV: LUR). which the Company currently holds, places U3O8 in its strongest working capital position in over five years providing a solid foundation for future growth. I would like to thank Mega for supporting our vision for the company, and I am thrilled to welcome them as our largest shareholder.”

Mr. Richard Patricio, CEO of Mega commented, “Mega has been active over the last several years investing and looking for new opportunities in uranium explorers and developers. Our investment in U3O8 demonstrates our support for the management team led by its new board. We think the company is well positioned to increase its market presence with growing interest in their uranium assets, as well as battery and other clean energy commodity-based assets.”

Details of the Offering

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company sold 22,726,907 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of C$0.11 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of C$2,499.960.

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$0.15 for a period of three years from date of issuance, subject to an acceleration. In the event that the closing price of the Common Shares is equal to or greater than C$0.40 for 30 consecutive days on which the TSXV is open for trading, the Company shall have the option to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants to a date that is 60 calendar days after the 30th day on which the Common Shares traded at or above C$0.40.

Certain eligible finders who directed investors to participate in the Offering were, in aggregate, paid a cash fee of $126,719, representing 7% of the value of the subscriptions from such investors, and were, in aggregate, issued 1,153,063 finders’ warrants (“Finders’ Warrants”), representing 7% of the Units sold to such investors, as follows: Haywood Securities Inc. received 215,727 Finders’ Warrants and $23,731 in cash, Clarus Securities Inc. received 25,454 Finders’ Warrants and $2,800 in cash, Canaccord Genuity Corp. received 26,727 Finders’ Warrants and $2,940 in cash, M Partners Inc. received 14,000 Finders’ Warrants and $1,540 in cash, PI Financial Corp. received 28,636 Finders’ Warrants and $3,150 in cash, Stephen Avenue Securities Inc. received 818,999 Finders’ Warrants and $90,709.99 in cash, German Mining Networks GmbH received 23,520 Finders’ Warrants and $2,147.20 in cash. The Finders’ Warrants have the same terms as the Warrants. The Unit Shares, the Warrants, the Finders’ Warrants and the Warrant Shares are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering, in accordance with applicable securities laws. Completion of the Offering and the resumption of trading of the Common Shares on the TSXV are subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals including the final approval of the TSXV.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to provide additional working capital to reinitiate operations in Colombia to advance the Company’s Berlin Deposit and for general corporate purposes.

Debt Settlement

Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, 2,416,319 Common Shares were issued to settle debt that the Company had incurred with Management (“Debt Settlement”) during the period in which it could not afford to pay even reduced salaries. The settlement included C$228,671 in cash, most of which was paid prior to the closing of the Offering. The Common Shares issued in relation to the debt settlement were issued at $0.15 per Common Share, a 36% premium to the price of the Offering. Debt-related Common Shares are subject to the same four month and one day hold period that applies to the Offering but differ in that the Debt Settlement Common Shares carry no warrant. Completion of the Debt Settlement is subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals including the final approval of the TSXV.

In connection with the Debt Settlement, 1,100,000 Common Shares have been issued to Richard Spencer and 464,393 Common Shares have been issued to John Ross. These are “related party transactions” as defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), requiring the Company, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation for, and minority shareholder approval of, the “related party transactions”. The Company is relying on an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements set out in MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the participation in the Debt Settlement by Messrs. Spencer and Ross does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
