Uranium Energy Corp. and Cue Resources Ltd have announced that they have entered into an Arrangement Agreement under which UEC will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of CUE by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). Upon completion of the Arrangement, it is anticipated that approximately 2,336,260 shares of UEC's common stock will be issued to former CUE stockholders to acquire CUE and its wholly-owned subsidiary holding an undivided 100% legal and beneficial interest in and to certain concession contracts covering a 230,650-hectare uranium exploration property located in southeastern Paraguay and known as the Yuty Project. The Yuty ISR Project covers 230,650 hectares and is located approximately 200km east and southeast of Asunción, the capital of Paraguay.
It is located within the Paraná Basin, which is host to a number of known uranium deposits, including Figueira and Amorinópolis in Brazil. Preliminary studies indicate amenability to extraction by in situ recovery methods, which is the same process currently used by UEC at its Texas operations. CUE has spent over CAD 16 million developing Yuty since 2006.
