This investment is part of a larger A$10 million equity raise by GUE, aimed at funding the acquisition of the Pine Ridge Uranium Project in Wyoming.
GUE has expanded the Pine Ridge project's footprint to nearly 20,000 acres by staking additional mineral claims. The company is also preparing for a drilling program, including permitting and tendering drill contractors. The project, located in the Powder River Basin, is expected to create substantial value for shareholders, according to Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake.
The equity raise is contingent on approval from GUE's shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting scheduled for April 14, 2025. Snow Lake's investment is also subject to the completion of due diligence, which has been extended until today.
Additionally, GUE, as the largest shareholder of Ubaryon, a private Australian company developing a unique uranium enrichment technology, continues to engage with strategic partners to secure funding for the ongoing development of the business. The process is reportedly progressing well, with announcements expected in the first half of 2025.
Snow Lake Energy, listed on NASDAQ, holds a portfolio of clean energy mineral projects, including two uranium projects in Namibia and Saskatchewan, and two hard rock lithium projects in Manitoba. The company's involvement with GUE and the Pine Ridge project signifies a strategic move to strengthen its position in the uranium exploration and development sector.
