Myriad Now Holds 80% Interest in Niger Properties
Vancouver, August 31, 2023 - Myriad Uranium Corp. (CSE: M) (OTCQB: MYRUF) (FSE: C3Q) ("Myriad" or the "Company") announces that Loxcroft Resources Ltd. has waived the Company's obligation to incur additional exploration expenses to earn an 80% interest in over 1,800 km2 of uranium exploration licenses in the Tim Mersoï Basin, Niger (the "Niger Projects"), and therefore Myriad now holds an 80% interest in the Niger Projects. The Niger Projects are surrounded by many of the most significant uranium deposits in Africa and are located on the same fault structures as Orano's 384 Mlbs eU3O8 Imouraren, Global Atomic's 236 Mlbs Dasa, and Goviex's 100 Mlbs Madaouela.
Myriad's CEO Thomas Lamb stated, "Since August 2022 when we executed our option agreement, Loxcroft has been our steadfast partner in Niger, sharing our commitment to the country and our conviction that we have a real chance at making one or even several world-class uranium discoveries there. This gesture by Loxcroft eliminates almost $1.7 million in spending requirements and transforms us from optionholder into an 80% owner. It's an enormous boost. Myriad has another 5 years to earn up to 100% of the Niger Projects."
He continued, "Niger has produced and exported uranium uninterrupted for over 50 years, through numerous changes of government. The sector provides much-needed employment and revenue streams for the country. In due course the political situation will stabilise and we and our fellow participants in the minerals sector will continue investing in the country. We reaffirm our commitment to Niger and its people."
