Energy Fuels Agrees to Sell Its Interest in Bayswater Uranium to Mega Uranium

19/12/2013 11:00am

Marketwired Canada


Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE MKT:UUUU) (TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to
sell all of its shares of Bayswater Uranium Corp. ("Bayswater") to Mega Uranium
Ltd. (TSX:MGA) ("Mega") in exchange for 1,750,000 newly issued common shares of
Mega. Energy Fuels acquired 2,759,807 shares of Bayswater as part of its August
30, 2013 acquisition of Strathmore Minerals Corp. The 2,759,807 shares represent
approximately 11.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bayswater. The
transaction is expected to be completed on or before January 17, 2014, or such
other date as the parties may agree, and is subject to various conditions
including acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The shares of Mega being
acquired by Energy Fuels will be issued on a private placement basis and are
subject to a statutory four-month holding period. 


Stephen P. Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated: "Energy Fuels and
Mega have an established relationship, and Energy Fuels is already a shareholder
of Mega through a previous non-core asset sale. Mega's market capitalization is
currently significantly lower than the Toro Energy Limited common shares it
received as consideration for its sale of the Maitland Lake uranium project,
which closed on November 19, 2013. Mega also owns other investments, including
about 17% of the currently outstanding shares of NexGen Energy Ltd. Energy Fuels
is pleased to increase its investment in Mega at this time."

uranium producer, supplying approximately 25% of the uranium produced in the
