'We are excited to complete due diligence and move this proposed transaction forward given the proximity to a number of well-known uranium projects in the world's 4^th ranked uranium producing country. As is custom in Namibia, we welcome the opportunity to explore with our 15% Namibian partners,' commented newly appointed President and CEO, Jason Bagg.

As outlined in the LOI, Monterey will pay US$175,000 cash and 8,000,000 common shares of the Company as consideration to the Vendors for the acquisition of the Estate Uranium Properties.
