a non-brokered private placement of up to $10,000,000 or 33,333,333 shares priced at $0.30 per share. The
Company retained Arlington Group Asset Management Limited in London, UK, as its lead capital finder pursuant

Atomic from UK and North American institutional investors . Proceeds from the financing will accelerate
development of the high grade DASA Uranium Project, where management is targeting to deliver mineralized
material to Orano Mining (formerly AREVA SA) by 2020. This timing also coincides with completion of the
modernization and expansion of our zinc operations in Turkey by September 2019 and c ash flow from these
operations will support further development at DASA and other growth initiatives.”
Mr. Roman added “The placement also allows the Company to expand the next drill program on strike and down
dip of current mineralization . Drilling completed in 2018 identified several new areas that may substantially
impact the size of the deposit.”
Finder’s fees payable under the private placement consist of a cash payment equal to 6% of cash raised and
common share purchase warrants equal to 6% of the number of shares issued in connection with certain orders
for a total of $467,414 and 1,491,380 warrants. Finder’s warrants are exercisable at $0.30 for a period of eighteen
