September 29th, 2023 – Kiplin Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Kiplin”) (TSX-V: KIP, FWB: 17G1) announces that it has entered into an agreement with Lloyd Lake Uranium Corp. (“LLU”), and the sole shareholder of LLU (the “Vendor”), pursuant to which the Company proposes to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding share capital of LLU. LLU is the holder of the Lloyd Lake Uranium Project located in Athabasca, Saskatchewan, subject to a royalty interest retained by the Vendor. The Acquisition is intended to significantly broaden Kiplin’s portfolio of uranium projects and positions the Company for further growth in the uranium sector.
About the Lloyd Lake Uranium Project The Lloyd Lake Uranium Project spans 6,177 hectares and is situated 27 kilometers south of the southern boundary of the Athabasca Basin. The project has undergone extensive exploration programs, most notably in 2022, with investigations including sediment sampling, airborne magnetics, and ground IP surveys. The key exploration zone is an 8 kilometer corridor characterized by a magnetic low which aligns with a structural break, a locale where anomalous radioactivity has been detected. Access to the project is optimal, facilitated by a provincial highway and well-maintained roads and trails.
“We are pleased to announce the integration of the Lloyd Lake Uranium Project into Kiplin’s uranium project portfolio,” states Peter Born, VP of Exploration and Director at Kiplin. “This highly prospective uranium project represents a valuable augmentation to our assets, and we are eager to unlock its potential. Our team is excited to leverage advanced exploration methodologies to advance the project rapidly.”
Acquisition Terms Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition, Kiplin proposes to acquire all of the outstanding share capital of LLU in consideration for the issuance of 4,500,000 common shares of Kiplin to the Vendor. Kiplin is at arms-length from the Vendor and LLU. No finders’ fees or commissions are payable by Kiplin in connection with the Acquisition. Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the satisfaction of customary closing deliveries.
Strategic Impact of the Acquisition This Acquisition will help to advance Kiplin in its mission to be a key participant in the uranium exploration sector and fortify its market presence. It not only expands the Company’s uranium assets but also opens up avenues for more innovative and exploration ventures in the future.
Future Plans and Exploration Following completion of the Acquisition, Kiplin plans to conduct an exploration and development program to further understand the potential of the Lloyd Lake Uranium Project.
