LUR executive chairman Philip Williams said the agreement marks a step forward in LUR’s strategy to become Canada’s premier uranium exploration company.

Williams said: “Assets like Angilak are few and far between, boasting both high uranium grades with upside to other commodities that are also important to the clean energy transition like molybdenum, silver and copper.

“The large-scale project tenure in Nunavut, an increasingly prominent mining jurisdiction, effectively puts LUR in control of an entire uranium district and complements our large CMB project in Labrador.”
