About U3O8 Corp.
U3O8 Corp. is focused on exploration and development of uranium resources and associated commodities in South America. The company's uranium resources comprise three deposits defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 located in Argentina, Colombia and Guyana:
- Laguna Salada Deposit, Argentina – a preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") shows this near surface, free-digging uranium-vanadium deposit is potentially amenable to low-cost mining and processing methods;
- Berlin Deposit, Colombia – a PEA shows that Berlin could be a potential low-cost uranium project thanks to revenue from by-products of phosphate, vanadium, nickel, rare earths (yttrium and neodymium) and other metals occurring in the same deposit; and
- Kurupung Deposit, Guyana – an initial uranium deposit in a large emerging uranium district.
U3O8 Corp.'s priority continues to be the pursuit of strategic partnerships and investors towards advancing its potential near-term, low-cost uranium project in Argentina in the gradually strengthening global uranium market. The fundamentals for the uranium sector remain sound as Japan's first reactor has now restarted and attained full power at the end of August, while seven new reactors have entered the operational phase in China so far this year, and India is ramping up uranium purchases to fuel its growing nuclear reactor fleet – second to only China in scale.
