MAWSON ACQUIRES 100% OF AREVA’S FINNISH EXPLORATION PORTFOLIO
AREVA BECOMES SIGNIFICANT MAWSON SHAREHOLDER
- Mawson’s exploration portfolio doubled
- Areva will hold, post-closing, 11% of Mawson
- Areva has right to increase its shareholding additional 8% @ $1.00 p/s
States Michael Hudson, Mawson President & CEO:
“This transaction effectively doubles Mawson’s exploration portfolio and cements Mawson’s place as a key European uranium explorer. We welcome Areva, one of the world’s key integrated nuclear companies, as one of the Company’s largest shareholders. Areva will hold, post-closing, 11% of Mawson and will hold the right to increase its shareholding by up to an additional 8% of Mawson’s issued capital via the exercise of the purchase warrants. Additionally, Areva’s potential to increase their shareholding at a significant premium to the current share price is a strong vote of confidence in Mawson’s Swedish and Finnish uranium portfolio and the Company’s business strategy to fuel Europe’s future.”
Dear Friends:
This acquisition of Areva’s Finnish projects is significant and a big ‘Breaking News Scoop’ for the Company. This transaction gives Areva a major share position in Mawson (11%) with the potential to increase their shareholding to 19% at a significant premium ($1/share). This is a huge vote of confidence for Mawson and their Swedish and Finnish uranium portfolio and adds a BIG “C” for credibility to what we already knew was a very solid company.
Michael Hudson tells me the Company should be in a position to release technical details shortly on the acquired projects after the team have had an opportunity to collate all Finnish data. Watch this space very carefully!!
The Areva group of companies is ranked first in the global nuclear power industry. Their unique integrated business covers every stage of the fuel cycle, reactor design and construction, and related services. In addition, the group with its 75,000 employees is expanding its operations in renewable energies. AREVA is also a world leader in electricity transmission and distribution and offers its customers a complete range of solutions for greater grid stability and energy efficiency.
In the fullness of time this will probably be Mawson’s defining moment!
Stay Closely Tuned - - There is much more to come from Mawson!!!
