March 17, 2022
TORONTO, March 17, 2022 /CNW/ – Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or the "Company") (TSX: LAM) (ASX: LAM) (OTCQX: LMRXF) is pleased to announce the appointment of David Thomas, in the newly created role of General Manger of U.S. Operations, effective immediately.
As the General Manager based in the United States, Mr. Thomas will be responsible for all aspects of Laramide’s operations for its U.S.-based uranium projects, including U.S. investment, multi-project development and regulatory compliance, and ensuring alignment with the Company’s global uranium exploration and development strategy.
"David’s extensive experience in permitting, engineering, mining operations and construction of major projects worldwide will be instrumental as we continue to develop our projects, expand our team and business, and secure investments for Laramide in the U.S. We are excited to bring such established leadership to the team as we ramp up to support the permitting initiatives and potential in our large-scale uranium assets," said Laramide President & CEO Marc Henderson.
Mr. Thomas is an engineer who brings more than 30 years of leadership in mining and project construction in both private and publicly traded companies. He has held senior mining executive roles, specifically in the construction and commissioning of mines. Mr. Thomas most recently served as the Vice President of Projects and Mine General Manager at Sabre Gold Corp., Inc., where he was instrumental in project permitting and engineering. Over his career, Mr. Thomas has worked in senior executive roles with producers including Newmont Gold Mining Corp., Nordgold, and Comstock Mining Inc. Mr. Thomas has also played several vital executive roles in the USA and abroad developing energy projects.
Warrant and Operations Update
The Company is providing a financial update on the outcome of the Warrant Holders’ exercise of the Company’s February 2022 common share purchase warrants.
Laramide is pleased to announce that 100% of the outstanding $0.40 purchase warrants that expired on February 21, 2022, were exercised and resulted in total proceeds of $1.35 million from the exercise of 3,375,000 shares. Together with the Company’s previous cash balances, and combined with securities available for sale, Laramide now has in excess of $10 million in cash and securities on hand and is essentially fully funded through 2022, a year that is expected to see increased exploration and development activity, in alignment with the rapidly improving uranium market where the spot price of uranium recently reached a 10-year high of $60/pound.
In addition, Laramide would like to announce that Extract Advisors LLC elected in early March, 2022, to convert $1,286,700 (US$1,000,000) of the outstanding convertible debt at the conversion price of CDN$0.40 per share resulting in the issuance of 3,216,750 shares of the Company.
Laramide is in the late planning stages for an extensive field season in Australia this year, which will commence with drilling at the Westmoreland Uranium Project. More details about our 2022 exploration plans will follow soon.
