Scott McLean, CEO of Transition Metals, commented: “We are pleased to transact with UAMY, a leading strategic critical metals company which is well positioned to advance Fostung for the benefit of stakeholders, including the nearby communities of Espanola and Sudbury. The proceeds from the sale of just one of our 18 projects highlights the depth of our portfolio, which includes multiple mineral exploration projects, royalties, milestone payments, and marketable securities. Furthermore, this transaction shows the benefit of our ability to utilize our portfolio to generate non dilutive cash to help us advance key projects like Pike Warden and Saturday Night.”
Mark Trevisiol, P.Eng., President of 1930153 Ontario Ltd., commented: “China controls over 80% of the world’s tungsten production and has put restrictions on its export to foreign countries. Classified as a critical mineral, Ontario is fortunate to have a tungsten deposit of this size to counter the control of this important alloying element. UAMY, a North American-based company and a leader in the mining and processing of critical minerals brings both the necessary company values and financial strength to develop the property in a sustainable method benefiting all stakeholders.”
