International Consolidated Uranium Inc. (TSX-V: CUR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with a private, arm’s length party providing CUR with the option to acquire a 100%, undivided interest, in the Moran Lake Project located in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador, Canada.

Key Points:

• Significant Past Exploration Work – The Moran Lake Project hosts the “C Zone” which was the subject of significant exploration activity between 2006 and 2013
• Adds Uranium and Vanadium Resources – Previous operator released independent 43-101 uranium and vanadium resource estimates
• Bona-fide Uranium Camp – The Central Mineral Belt is host to several other uranium deposits including Paladin Energy’s advanced Michelin Project
• Continues Rapid Portfolio Growth – the Property Is the third acquisition for CUR since May 2020 as it continues to build out its global portfolio of uranium projects
• Attractive Acquisition Structure – Lower upfront consideration with additional payments over time and contingent on, high uranium prices

Philip Williams, CEO commented “Moran Lake fits well with the Company’s strategy and makes a strong addition to the portfolio. The location in Labrador, Canada, the substantial past expenditures and existing resources in place gives us a good foundation to work with. The vanadium potential is intriguing as it is often found together with uranium mineralization and has attractive fundamentals also tied to clean energy. The Central Mineral Belt, anchored by Paladin Energy’s Michelin Project, clearly has the critical mass to one day support the development of a uranium mining operation as well, the potential for IOCG discoveries could ultimately bring more interest to the area. With funding recently secured we will look to continue building out our asset base in front of the expected resurgence in the uranium sector.”

Terms of the Option Agreement

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, CUR will secure the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Moran Lake Project in consideration for the issuance of $150,000 of common shares in the capital of the Company, priced at the 5-day volume weighted average price two days prior to the date that is the later of: (i) 5 business days following the date that the TSX Venture Exchange provides conditional approval of the Option Agreement and; (ii) the transfer of the Property from the Vendor to CUR and a cash payment of $150,000 to the Vendor by CUR.

The Option is exercisable at CUR’s election on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date, for additional consideration of $500,000 in Common Shares and $500,000 in cash. If the Option remains unexercised on the one-year and two-year anniversaries of the Effective Date, the Vendor is entitled to $150,000 in Common Shares and $50,000 in cash on each anniversary date.

If CUR elects to exercise the Option, the Vendor will be entitled to receive the following spot price contingency Payments:

The spot price contingent payments will expire 10 years following the date the option is exercised.

Upon exercise of the Option and on the exercise date, the Vendor shall be granted by CUR, a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty from the sale of the mineral products extracted or derived from the Property. CUR shall have the right and option to purchase 0.5% of the Royalty for a price equal to $500,000.

All securities issued in connection with the Option Agreement are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

The Moran Lake Uranium Project

The Moran Lake Project is located within the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador (Figure 1), approximately 140 km north of the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay and 85 km southwest of the coastal community of Postville on Kaipokok Bay. Access to the property is by helicopter and float plane out of Goose Bay.

Uranium was first discovered near Moran Lake by British Newfoundland Exploration Limited (Brinex) who conducted prospecting, geological mapping and radiometric surveying in the area from 1956 to 1958. The uranium mineralization is structurally controlled, typically hosted within fracture systems and to a lesser extent within shear zones. In outcrop it is clear that local faulting, brecciation and alteration, all of uncertain age, are associated with the U-Cu mineralization at the Moran Lake C Zone. The mineralization is epigenetic and occurs in mafic volcanics of the Joe Pond Formation, Moran Lake Group, as well as in overlying sedimentary rocks of the Heggart Lake Formation, Bruce River Group.

Uranium mineralization at the C Zone (Figure 2) mainly occurs in two distinct zones, referred to as the Upper C and Lower C. Mineralization in the UC is hosted within brecciated, hematite altered and/or bleached mafic volcanics and hematitic cherts of the Joe Pond Formation, while mineralization in the structurally underlying LC is hosted predominantly within chloritized (reduced) sandstones of the Heggart Lake Formation. The UC also contains vanadium mineralization hosted mainly by hematized and brecciated mafic volcanic rocks of the Joe Pond Formation and brecciated gabbro or diabasic intrusives. In many areas, the vanadium concentration is directly proportional to the intensity of hematization and brecciation. The occurrence of vanadium mineralization may coincide with, but is not restricted to, zones of uranium mineralization.

In 2004 Crosshair Exploration and Mining  entered and option agreement with prospectors to earn an interest in claims in the area including those being optioned by CUR. Crosshair conducted exploration between 2005 and 2012 ultimately abandoning the claims on November 1, 2013.

In January 2011 (revised March 2011) Crosshair published a report entitled “Technical Report on the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) Uranium – Vanadium Project, Labrador, Canada. The report, available on www.sedar.com, estimated the following resources for the C Zone:
