Madison Metals Announces Intent to Acquire Namibia Uranium Licenses

TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Madison Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Madison”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Giraffe Energy Investments Close Corporation and Otjiwa Mining and Prospecting Close Corporation (the “Vendors”) to contemplate the acquisition of 85% interest in 3 separate concessions named the Rössing North Uranium Project. This project is located in the Erongo Province, Namibia Africa, which hosts renowned uranium deposits such as the Rössing Mine, Husab, Valencia, Etango and the Langer Heinrich Mine.

The Rössing North Uranium Project collectively consisting of 38,391 hectares is located directly adjacent to one of the world’s longest running and largest open pit uranium mines, the Rössing Uranium Mine. The area currently hosts excellent infrastructure developed on and around the site. Previous owners conducted limited exploration including a reverse circulation drill program which produced a JORC complaint report prepared by SRK Consulting (UK) Limited (“SRK”) in November 2015. Madison is enthusiastic about the property as SRK has determined the uranium mineralization is open along strike, at depth and contained within well-defined uranium bearing alaskite beds. SRK also recommended the undertaking of further exploration with a view to determining both extensions to the two larger areas of mineralization already discovered and other areas of the property not yet drilled.

Property wide exploration has also identified 11 new uranium mineralization areas throughout the property that warrant further evaluation by Madison in the future.

Madison’s Duane Parnham states: “Dr. Laine and I worked closely on the acquisition, exploration and development, including obtaining a mining license at the Valencia uranium deposit in Namibia for Forsys Metals which I founded. We plan on deploying the same skills and strategies to aggressively advance the Rössing North Project into another successful development project for the Company and its stakeholders.”

For consideration to acquire the concessions, Madison will pay US$150,000 cash and issue 1,600,000 common shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) to the Vendors. The Consideration Shares will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day after the closing date.

Bob Komarechka, PGeo, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release as it pertains to the Rössing North Uranium Project.
