ASX Announcement ASX: SUP 29 January 2021 superiorlake.com.au

Quarterly Activities Report Three months ended 31 December 2020

Superior Lake Resources Limited (ASX: SUP) (“Superior Lake” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide its quarterly activities report for the quarter ended 31 December 2020.

Vend of Superior Lake Zinc Project into TSXV listed company

In September 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to vend its interests in the Superior Lake Zinc Project (“ Project ”) located in Ontario, Canada into TSXV listed company CROPS Inc. (TSXV: COPS) (“ CROPS ”) (“the Transaction ”).

On completion of the Transaction, the Company’s subsidiary, Ophiolite Holdings Pty Ltd (“ Ophiolite ”), will receive approximately 128.9 million CROPS shares, which it is anticipated will represent a near 70% interest in the issued and outstanding CROPS’ shares (see Table 1). Ophiolite has received an initial non-refundable cash payment of C$25,000 and will also receive a further cash payment of approximately A$700,000[1] on completion of the Transaction.

Disposal of the Project allows the Company to maintain an indirect interest in the Project without having to incur the associated costs of maintaining and developing the Project and will enable the Company to focus on, and apply the proceeds from the Transaction towards, sourcing new opportunities which the Board believes will add value to Shareholders, in particular, delivery of the Company’s North American strategy.

On 9 December 2020, the Company obtained approval from its shareholders for the disposal of the Project to CROPS.

CROPS has received conditional approval for the Transaction from the TSXV, with materials for a meeting of CROPS shareholders expected to be dispatched during February 2021 and a meeting of CROPS shareholders to be held in March 2021. As a result, the Company has agreed with CROPS that the date for completion of the Transaction be extended to 15 April 2021.

The Australian Securities Exchange (“ ASX ”) has notified the Company that it has a period of six months from completion of the Transaction to maintain a scale of operations that warrant continued listing.

North American Uranium Strategy

During the Quarter, the Company continued to focus on its North American uranium strategy. This is an ongoing process that has entailed consideration of various potential opportunities, including the acquisition of exploration properties and production assets.

During the Quarter, the Company extended its exclusivity option with Premier Uranium LLC (“ Premier ”) in connection with uranium assets located in Wyoming and Utah in the USA (“ Premier Assets ”), to 31 January

1 Comprised of two payments: A$200,000 and C$500,000.

2021.[2] As consideration for the extension, the Company issued Sachem Cove one million Superior Lake shares.

Premier is 100% owned by leading global uranium investor Sachem Cove Partners LLC (“ Sachem Cove” ), a uranium/nuclear energy dedicated fund led by respected uranium investor Mike Alkin. As part of the extension, the Company has agreed to offer Sachem Cove the first right of refusal to participate as a cornerstone financier in relation to any acquisition of assets pursuant to its North American uranium strategy.

Extension of exclusivity option with Sachem Cove to 30 June 2021

Post Quarter end, the Company has agreed with Sachem Cove that the exclusivity option with Premier is further extended to 30 June 2021. Owing to travel restrictions, the due diligence process has taken longer than anticipated. In consideration for the extension, the Company will issue unlisted options to Sachem Cove (“ Consideration Options ”) as follows:

  • 2,000,000 exercisable at $0.22 on or before 29 January 2024, 1,000,000 of which vest on completion of a transaction that is consistent with the Company’s North American uranium strategy; and

  • 2,000,000 exercisable at $0.26 on or before 29 January 2024, 1,000,000 of which vest on completion of a transaction that is consistent with the Company’s North American uranium strategy.

The Consideration Options are expected to be issued within the next 5 business days using the Company’s available issuance capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company continues to work closely with Sachem Cove on uranium opportunities in North America.

Corporate

Cash

As at 31 December 2020, the Company had cash of $820,000, with an additional $175,000 received shortly after year-end. Completion of the Transaction will see the Company receive a further $700,000[1] .

General Meeting

During the Quarter, the Company held a general meeting, at which all resolutions put to shareholders, including a resolution for approval of the Transaction, were approved.

Payments to Related Parties

Mr Grant Davey, who is a Non-Executive Director of the Company is a Director and shareholder of Matador Capital Pty Ltd (“ Matador Capital ”). The Company makes payments to Matador Capital under a Shared Services Agreement in which Matador Capital provides office space, general office administration services, accounting services and technical exploration and geological staff to the Company. The services provided by Matador Capital are recovered from the Company on a cost-plus basis (December quarter $19.4k unaudited).
