U3O8 Corp. Provides Corporate Update & Announces Resignation of a Board Member
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/29/14 -- U3O8 Corp. (TSX: UWE)(OTCQX: UWEFF), a Canadian-based company focused on exploration and development of uranium resources and associated commodities in South America, provides an update on the company in light of current market activities.
"The fundamentals of U3O8 Corp. and its projects remain solid," said Dr. Richard Spencer, U3O8 Corp's President and CEO. "We are currently being swept along in the market-driven sell-off in commodities and a broader liquidation affecting a number of exploration companies, which is further aggravated with end-of-year tax loss selling. Of further note, shares of uranium producers and juniors alike have traded down although uranium prices have risen over 25% since the summer. These market-related events highlight the disconnect between our share performance relative to the value that we are creating in our projects."
Highlights of U3O8 Corp's achievements to date:
"As the largest individual shareholder, I remain personally committed to the long-term development of U3O8 Corp," added Dr. Keith Barron, Founder and Director of U3O8 Corp. "The current market is not giving any credit to the underlying value that U3O8 Corp. has added to its projects at a time when the uranium market is rising off a bottom. In addition, the local municipality just voted to restart the first two reactors in Japan - a key step towards Japan returning to nuclear, which should prompt other global utilities to start buying to cover their dwindling inventories."
Resignation of a Board Member
U3O8 Corp. also announces the resignation of Sheldon Inwentash, Chairman and CEO of Pinetree Capital Ltd., from the Company's Board of Directors.
"On behalf of U3O8 Corp. and the board, I would like to thank Sheldon for his support of the company over the past four years. Sheldon was instrumental in the acquisition of the properties in Colombia and Argentina that constitute U3O8 Corp's lead projects on which positive preliminary economic assessments have now been completed," said Mr. David Constable, U3O8 Corp's Chairman.
