Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
We previously entered into a binding letter of intent with Mr. Robert C. Shook (“Shook”) of Casper, Wyoming, to acquire three separate uranium projects located in northeast Wyoming in the central portion of the Power River Basin.
The Letter of Intent provided for a 35-day due diligence period for us to review all reports, maps, drill logs and like material covering the Uranium properties that Shook has in his possession or control and a title search will be performed. If we were not satisfied with the results, we could elect not to close.
On February 1, 2007, we completed such due diligence, were satisfied with the results, and have closed on the transaction.
The total purchase price for the three project acquisitions is $3,120,000. The three projects are named West Flank, North Rolling Pin and C-line. The locations of these three properties are adjacent to, or nearby mining claims already owned by Uranerz Energy, including our West North Butte, Nichols Ranch, Hank, and Doughstick properties, thus providing synergistic opportunities for potential in-situ recovery mine development. The surface area covered by these acquisitions is on land already covered by Uranerz Energy’s surface use agreement with the rancher.
