ATHA Energy (TSXV: SASK) and Terra Uranium (ASX: T92) appear to be doing a “property swap” of sorts, with the two parties announcing this morning that they are optioning certain projects from one another.
Under the terms of the arrangement, Terra has entered into an option to earn up to a 70% interest in Atha’s Spire and Horizon properties for total consideration of $4.75 million, which is to come in the form of property exploration.
Terra will be required to spend $0.75 million by year end on the properties, while $1.0 per year must be spent on the properties for the next four years in order for Terra to earn a 70% interest. An initial 50% interest will be earned upon the first $2.75 million being spent on the property. Upon a PEA being delivered by Terra, Atha’s carried interest may be converted to a participating interest.
In return, Atha has entered into an arrangement to earn up to a 60% interest in Terra’s Pasfield Lake property, which is found in the Athabasca Basin. The project is said to have seven high priority targets identified on it, with significant anomalous geophysical features identified across multiple depths and lithologies.
