The Milner Property option requires a $45,000 cash payment, the issuance of 100,000 shares and a $150,000 exploration expenditure.
Upon exercising the options for either property, Searchlight Resources will retain a 2% NSR royalty.
Refined Energy retains the right to buy back half of this royalty for C$1m. The completion of these transactions is contingent upon approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE).
All securities issued under these agreements will be subject to a four-month holding period from the date of issuance.
Refined Energy will also take on the role of operator for both the Basin and Milner projects, as per the additional terms of the option agreements.
Searchlight CEO Stephen Wallace said: “We are pleased to partner with Refined to advance the Basin and Milner uranium properties, and look forward to a successful venture.
“Searchlight will continue to focus on the company’s other critical element projects including the Duddridge Lake Uranium Deposit and the Kulyk Lake Uranium and high-grade Rare Earth Project.”
