Transfer of theU₃O₈ into Yellow Cake’s name will take place on 23rd August 2018 and the U₃O₈ will be stored at Cameco Corporation’s Port Hope / Blind River facility in Ontario, Canada. Following completion of this transaction the Company will own 8.44mmlb of uranium.

“Market sentiment towards uranium continues to improve and after completing the current purchase, we will have acquired 8.44mmlb of uranium at an average cost of US$21.10 /lb against a current spot price of US$26.11 /lb⁽⁴⁾. The purchase of the additional uranium is consistent with Yellow Cake’s stated intention of not holding additional cash on the balance sheet which is surplus to the company’s working capital needs. We would like to thank Kazatomprom for its continued strong support as a reliable long-term strategic supplier to Yellow Cake.”
