Clean Commodities CEO Ryan Kalt stated: "Today's announcement not only shows the significant value of our Preston Uranium Project but it also serves to demonstrate the strength of our early-mover approach to acquiring large-scale, tenure-rich projects using ahead-of-the-curve perspective. The Preston Uranium Project is a strategic, district-scale property with robust exploration upside potential throughout and is located near recent high grade discoveries in the Patterson Lake area including NexGen's Arrow deposit, Fission's Triple R deposit, and the Spitfire discovery. The signing of this term sheet is a significant milestone for Clean Commodities and its shareholders."

- If carried to completion, a three-way joint venture would form allocated as to 70% Partner and 30% to be jointly split between Clean Commodities and Skyharbour.
- Clean Commodities and Skyharbour would continue to retain ownership (50% / 50%) of the balance of the Preston Uranium Project consisting of a further 68,820 hectares of minerals claims contiguous to the Preston Segment optioned to the Partner.

The significant potential of the Western Athabasca Basin has been highlighted by recent discoveries in the area by NexGen Energy Ltd. (Arrow), Fission Uranium Corp. (Triple R) and a joint-venture consisting of Cameco Corp., AREVA Resources Canada Inc. and Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (Spitfire). Through its involvement in the Western Athabasca Syndicate and the Preston Uranium Project, the Company has been involved in a large regional exploration program in the relatively under-explored southwestern side of the Athabasca Basin since 2013. In excess of $4.7 million in expenditures on the Preston Uranium Project have been incurred to-date including ground gravity, airborne and ground EM and magnetics, radon, soil, silt, biogeochem, lake sediment, and geological mapping surveys, as well as two exploratory drill programs. Fifteen high-priority drill target areas associated with six prospective exploration corridors have been successfully delineated through this methodical, multi-phased exploration initiative which has culminated in an extensive, proprietary geological database for the project area.
