IsoEnergy Ltd. has completed the sale of its Argentine subsidiary to Jaguar Uranium Corp. a privately-owned company specializing in the uranium sector in Latin America. This transaction enables IsoEnergy to refocus on its core activities in North America and Australia, jurisdictions renowned for their uranium resources.
The disposal of the Laguna Salada and Huemul projects offers the company the opportunity to reallocate its resources and capital more efficiently towards assets deemed strategic.
IsoEnergy’s strategy is based on maximizing shareholder value through accretive opportunities.
By divesting its non-core assets in Argentina, the company can now focus its efforts on near-term production in the USA and project development in Canada and Australia.
This move is perfectly aligned with IsoEnergy’s growth and profitability objectives.
Strengthened equity portfolio and growth potential
The transaction with Jaguar Uranium Corp.
includes an equity interest valued at approximately C$13.6 million, bringing the total value of IsoEnergy’s equity portfolio to C$16.9 million.
IsoEnergy’s shareholdings include NexGen Energy Ltd, Premier American Uranium Inc. and Atha Energy Corp. In addition, IsoEnergy will benefit from an investor rights agreement, enabling it to maintain ongoing exposure to Argentine projects via future financings and a seat on Jaguar’s board of directors. Jaguar Uranium Corp.’s technical and operational expertise in Latin America guarantees the continued development of the Laguna Salada and Huemul projects. IsoEnergy thus retains a significant share of the potential upside of these projects, while delegating their management to a specialist company.
