The balance of US$20,422 and 1,026,860 common shares, including 93,630 common shares for the finders, will be paid when the transfers of the remaining three EPLs are completed.
This issuance increases Puranium's tightly-held, capital structure to 17,018,116 common shares and 5,530,000 common share purchase warrants (CSE: UX.WT), which are exercisable at $0.35 until December 23, 2023.
