Recent IPO and Exploration Workstreams
Since the conditional acquisition of the Reitenbach uranium
property on 8 August 2022, Teathers has finalised multiple work
streams relating to their planned listing and made multiple
technical advancements of the Reitenbach property which are covered
within the link below:
https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/POW/reitenbach-uranium-disposal-progress-update/15620258
This includes successful completion of a GBP125,000 pre-IPO
financing and progress in respect of ongoing exploration
including:
-- The identification of multiple significant uranium
prospective anomalies across the Reitenbach property including a
'New Lake Geochem Zone' which is highlighted by extremely
high-tenor U-in-lake sediment results.
-- Additional staking of 1,333 hectares (13.33Km(2) ) completed
to cover the new prospective zone, increasing the size of the
Reitenbach property.
Proposed Listing Board
- Mr Sandy Barblett has recently joined Teathers as a
Non-executive Director. Sandy has over 25 years of senior
management experience across numerous sectors. Mr Barblett is an
experienced director and adviser, for both private and listed
companies, in relation to raising private equity and general
fundraising, admission to public markets, strategy and management
selection. He is a founder and advisor to the Eastern Heavy
Minerals project which is the sole project for AIM quoted Capital
Metals PLC, currently Chairman of East Star Resources PLC and
IamFire PLC. Mr Barblett has a Bachelor of Business from Curtin
University of Technology in Perth, Australia, and a Bachelor or
Laws from the University of Queensland.
- Upon listing of Teathers, the board of directors is expected
to consist of Sean Wade (CEO and Executive Director), Sandy
Barblett (Non-executive Director) and Mario Visconti (Non-executive
Director).
Uranium Sector - Market Conditions
- The level of interest surrounding various uranium focused
investment opportunities remains robust, which is further bolstered
by the return of an increasing uranium spot price.
- Transactional deal flow also remains robust with considerable
quantum associated with a number of recent Athabasca Basin focused
property deals (e.g. Skyharbour Resources Ltd (TSXv:SYH) earn-in
option agreement for the disposal of up to a 75% interest in their
South Falcon East property - Announced on 20 October 2022
https://skyharbourltd.com/news-media/news/ ).
- Multiple successful ASX-listed IPO's have been undertaken,
some of which are focused on the prolific Athabasca Basin (e.g.
Basin Energy Ltd (ASX:BSN) recently completed a $9M AUD
oversubscribed IPO financing
https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/company/bsn )
- Assuming completion of the Reitenbach and E-12 property
acquisitions, and prior to shares issued in respect of an IPO
financing, Teathers will have a GBP2million valuation, placing it
at the very low end of its peer group in terms of comparable
valuations for Athabasca Basin focused uranium explorers.
- Power Metal expects to hold an interest of circa 50-55% in
Teathers upon listing, with the actual holding dependent upon the
IPO financing quantum and pricing.
NEXT STEPS
-- Exploration programmes are currently being planned across the
E-12 and Reitenbach uranium properties, which will be carried out
by Teathers Financial in 2023, following their planned listing on
the London capital markets.
-- This exploration work is expected to include geophysical
surveys across the Reitenbach property in Q1 2023, to delineate
targets for follow on inaugural drilling.
-- Power Metal, with its in house technical group with expertise
in uranium exploration, have agreed to provide Teathers with
ongoing technical consulting services relating to planned and
future exploration programmes on both properties.
-- Reflecting the growing interest shown from third parties,
comprehensive datarooms and factsheets have been compiled over all
of the Company's Saskatchewan based uranium assets.
