Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 10, 2011, the Registrant entered into an Exploration Agreement with Cameco Texas, Inc. (”CTI”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ). The exploration agreement provides for a three-phase, three-year exploration program on a 54,847 acre property in Kenedy County, Texas on which URI obtained in December 2010, the exploration rights and a lease option. CTI will fund the majority of the exploration costs. At the conclusion of the exploration program, the parties may enter into an operating joint venture to develop and produce any discovered uranium resources and reserves. The uranium would be processed at URI’s Kingsville Dome or Rosita processing facility, with CTI’s share of production being processed under a toll processing agreement with URI. The project is called the Los Finados Project.
Under the terms of the exploration agreement, CTI can earn up to a 70% interest in the project by funding $3.5 million of exploration and development expenses.
During phases One and Two, URI and CTI would have joint decision-making authority, and URI will serve as the exploration operator to execute the jointly-designed exploration program.
URI has the right of first refusal for a five-year period to participate with CTI in certain future property acquisitions in South Texas. In addition, each party has a first right of refusal should the other wish to convey its interest under the exploration agreement.
A copy of the Exploration Agreement is attached to this Report as Exhibit 1.1.
