Listed (TSX:LAM; ASX:LAM)

TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2015 /CNW/ - Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company and its lenders, Extract Capital Master Fund Ltd. and Extract Lending LLC (Extract Advisors LLC acting as agent), ("Extract") have agreed to extend the maturity date of a previously issued C$5 million term loan made in favour of Laramide Resources (USA) Inc. (the "Term Loan") to July 1, 2018 (the "Term Loan Extension"). Further details related to the Term Loan were provided in a press release by Laramide dated December 1, 2015.

Marc Henderson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "This Term Loan Extension combined with the distribution of cash that Laramide will receive from Khan Resources Inc. in November will strengthen Laramide's financial options as we continue Laramide's strategy of growing a portfolio of lower technical risk, low-cost uranium projects in stable political environments in anticipation of improving uranium markets."

The Term Loan extension is expected to be effective by no later than November 30, 2016, and remains subject to customary conditions, including TSX and ASX approvals (the "Closing Date").

The terms of the Term Loan Extension, include a C$1 million repayment to Extract on the Closing Date. The Company has agreed to pay extension fees to Extract equal to 2% of the principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding on the Closing Date, and to issue 1,200,000 warrants (the "Warrants") with an exercise price to be equal to the volume weighted average share price of the Company's common shares over the ten trading days immediately following the date of execution of the binding term sheet plus 50%. The Warrants will be exercisable for one common share of the Company for a period of five years from the Closing Date.

In addition, subject to regulatory and, if necessary, shareholder approval, the Company will seek to extend the expiry date of warrants previously issued to Extract on December 31, 2015 from the original expiry date of December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2020.

In addition, Laramide is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amendment letter to extend its previously announced agreement with Uranium Resources Inc. ("URI") to acquire URI's Churchrock and Crownpoint property in New Mexico until November 30, 2016. Other than an extension of that agreement's expiration date, no further changes have been made to the Share Purchase Agreement dated April 7, 2016 (see press release dated April 8, 2016). As consideration for the extension, a payment of US$250,000 in cash payable to URI is due on or before October 21, 2016 which will be treated as a pre-payment of the purchase price once the transaction closes.
