The Uranium Report
"With millions already invested and millions more to be spent before the first gram of uranium can be mined in Weld County, Powertech Uranium Corp. has lined up investment from a Belgian-based energy company to help it reach production.
Synatom, a subsidiary of European energy giant Electrabel, has purchased 6 million additional shares of Powertech for $9 million. The deal, announced last month, gives Synatom a 19.6 percent ownership of Powertech and could eventually allow it to invest $33 million and own 33.9 percent of the company if all the options in the agreement are exercised by Synatom.
"We are pleased to welcome Synatom as a substantial shareholder in the company," Powertech USA President Richard Clement said in a press release announcing the investment. "We anticipate a mutually beneficial working relationship and look forward to their input and knowledge of the worldwide uranium industry. The proceeds of this strategic investment by Synatom will help Powertech achieve its goal of becoming a significant in-situ recovery uranium producer in the United States." (7/4/08)
