Read MoreHide Full Article
Denison Mines Corp. (DNN - Free Report) announced that it entered a deal with Cosa Resources to develop three uranium exploration joint ventures in the eastern part of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.
Details on Denison Mines-Cosa Deal
According to the acquisition agreement, Cosa will acquire a 70% stake in properties from Denison Mines. Upon the completion of the transaction, the parties will establish joint ventures for each property. Cosa will be the project operator, whereas Denison Mines will retain a 30% interest in each property.
Cosa has secured the option to reduce the NSR royalty rate on the Darby and Packrat projects to 1% by paying CA$2 million ($1.43 million) per project.
The deal’s completion is subject to conditions and regulatory approvals.
DNN’s Benefits of the Transaction
Denison Mines will receive significant consideration, which includes 14.2 million Cosa common shares upfront, deferred equity consideration of $2.25 million in additional Cosa shares, and royalties on each property.

Denison Mines will retain a minimum 30% direct interest in the properties and become Cosa's largest shareholder. This will give DNN pre-emptive rights and a buydown power for the Darby property. Denison Mines will also have the right to appoint directors to Cosa's board, given it holds the required shares.
