Azincourt Enters into Letter of Intent FOR Exploration Financing of East Preston Uranium Project
AZINCOURT ENTERS INTO LETTER OF INTENT FOR EXPLORATION
FINANCING OF EAST PRESTON URANIUM PROJECT
Vancouver B.C., January 2, 2019 - AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. (“Azincourt” or the
“Company”) (TSX.V: AAZ, OTC: AZURF) , is pleased to announce it has entered into a letter of
intent with an arms’-length third-party (the “ Investor”) to provide funding of $750,000 towards the
Company’s ongoing winter work program at the East Preston Uranium Project (the “ Project”),
located in the southwestern Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan, Canada.
In consideration for providing funding of at least $750,000 towards development of the project, prior
to March 31, 2019, the Investor will earn a ten percent beneficial interest in the Project. Following
the Investor earning such an interest, the Company will have the right to redeem the interest from the
Investor in consideration for a payment of $750,000 which will be satisfied through the issuance of
common shares of the Company based upon the last closing price of the Company’s shares on the
TSX Venture Exchange immediately prior to the exercise of the right. The redemption right will be
exercisable for a period of thirty days following the Investor earning an interest in the Project.
“This LOI represents a structurally beneficial financing mechanism that ensures our ongoing work at
East Preston is fully-funded, which would satisfy the second year earn-in requirements of the current
joint-venture agreement,” said president & CEO, Alex Klenman. “As an advanced uranium
exploration project in the most prolific uranium district in the world, drill testing East Preston is a top
priority for Azincourt. Given the positive nature of the work to date, the location and quality of
companies working in the area, and the awakening uranium market in general, East Preston provides
a unique and compelling risk-reward scenario,” continued Mr. Klenman.
The Company is currently working to earn a 70% interest in the Project as part of a joint venture with
Skyharbour Resources Ltd. and Clean Commodities Corp. The acquisition of any interest in the
Project by the Investor is subject to the terms of that joint venture and is dependent upon the Company
earning an interest in the Project. The interest to be acquired by the Investor will be contributed
entirely by the Company and will ultimately reduce the Company’s interest in the Project by a
corresponding amount.
Completion of the transaction contemplated by the letter of intent remains subject to a number of
conditions, including the successful completion of a due diligence review of the Project, negotiation
of definitive documentation and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The transaction is also
subject to the approval of Skyharbour Resources Ltd. and Clean Commodities Corp., the Company’s
partners in the development of the Project. The transaction cannot proceed, and no funding will be
provided, until these conditions are either satisfied or waived. There can be no guarantee that the
transaction will proceed as planned. The Company will provide additional information regarding the
transaction as soon as it becomes available.
