enCore Energy Completes Acquisition of Metamin US
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 20, 2018 -- enCore Energy Corp. (TSX-V:EU) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce
that it has completed the acquisition of Metamin US Inc. (“Metamin US”) by way of purchase of shares.
As a result of the completion of the acquisition, the Company now holds 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock
of Metamin US. In exchange for the stock, the company paid C$55,000 and issued 3,000,000 common shares in the capital of
the Company at a deemed price of $0.05 per share (the “Shares”). The Shares are subject to a 4 month hold period expiring on
July 15, 2018.
Metamin US holds 13,605 acres of prospective uranium mining properties located in the States of Arizona, Utah and
Wyoming. The Company also acquired the drill core, geophysical data, drilling data and equipment related to the Metamin US
mining properties.
The Assets
MEUS owns or controls 3 Arizona State Mineral Leases and 467 unpatented Federal lode mining claims covering more than
10,000 acres in the northern Arizona Strip District. The Arizona Strip district is noted for uranium bearing breccia pipes which
are typically the highest grade deposits occurring in the United States. MEUS Arizona holdings include 3 recently discovered
uranium bearing breccia pipes that had been identified as priority drill targets from newly applied VTEM geophysical surveys.
Exploration success in the district has been greatly enhanced with the development and application of VTEM. An additional
145 VTEM targets have been identified on the property package.
Although much of the MEUS acreage was withdrawn from development in 2012 by Executive Order, which is currently under
review by the current US administration, MEUS maintains and asserts its claim to the mineral rights under valid claim.
Currently MEUS has 3 valid discoveries on federal land, 5 high priority VTEM targets on Arizona State Lease lands which are
not subject to withdrawal and are permitted for drilling. An additional 34 ready to drill high priority targets occur on withdrawn
federal lands with approved and bonded Notice of Intent (NOI) permits. These federal lands are under legal proceedings and
review.
In Utah and Wyoming MEUS owns unpatented claims, state leases and private leases covering 4.4 square miles including
several former producing mines with historic resources remaining. The Snow, and Probe mines in the Tidwell district and the
Sinbad mine in Emery County Utah are reported to have historic mineral resources totaling several hundred thousand pounds
U3O8. Neither MEUS nor enCore have done sufficient work to verify or properly characterize these historic mineral resources
and they should not be relied upon . Considerable additional work will be necessary to verify and report them under NI 43-101
standards. In the Temple Mountain District of Utah, claims cover several untested high priority breccia pipe targets. MEUS is
believed to be the first company to identify prospective breccia pipe targets in the district. MEUS owns claims in Wyoming on
the edge of Shirley Basin and covering a large untested breccia pipe target in Crook County.
enCore plans to continue to maintain the MEUS office and warehouse in Kanab, Utah which houses an extensive data
collection, core, sample library and field equipment.
