NOTE 4:
ACQUISITION OF RENO CREEK PROJECT
 
On August 9, 2017, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Reno Creek Holdings Inc. (“RCHI”) and, indirectly thereby, 100% of its fully permitted Reno Creek in-situ recovery uranium project (the “Reno Creek Project”) located in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming, from each of the Pacific Roads Resources Funds (collectively, “PRRF”; as to 97.27% of RCHI) and Bayswater Holdings Inc. (as to the remaining 2.73% of RCHI; and, collectively with PRRF, the “Reno Creek Vendors”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of a certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated May 9, 2017, as amended by a certain Amending Agreement, dated August 7, 2017 (collectively, the “Share Purchase Agreement”; and, collectively, the “Reno Creek Acquisition”).
 
Pursuant to the terms of the original Share Purchase Agreement, we agreed to reimburse all costs and expenses (the “Reimbursable Expenses”) incurred by RCHI and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business from the effective date of the Share Purchase Agreement to closing, and, pursuant to the Amending Agreement, we also agreed with that the amount to be distributed from RCHI’s subsidiaries to RCHI at closing totalled $1,743,666, which was comprised of the Reimbursable Expenses and the amount of cash on hand held by RCHI’s subsidiaries at the time.
 
In connection with the completion of the Reno Creek Acquisition, we paid the following consideration:
 
a cash payment of $909,930;
14,392,927 shares of the Company;
an additional 241,821 shares of the Company in settlement of certain insurance costs of $340,000 incurred by the Company and RCHI at closing;
11,308,728 warrants of the Company (each a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one share of the Company at an exercise price of $2.30 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Warrants have an accelerator clause which provides that, in the event that the closing price of the shares of the Company on its principally traded exchange is equal to or greater than $4.00 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to within 30 days by providing written notice to the holders;
a 0.5% net profits interest royalty, capped at $2.5 million; and
transaction costs of $779,509, of which $283,013 was paid by the issuance of 217,702 shares of the Company.
 
In connection with the Reno Creek Acquisition, we also issued 353,160 common shares in settlement of the Reimbursable Expenses totalling $483,829, which was included in the mineral property expenditures on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended January 31, 2018.
 
In accordance with ASC 360: Property, Plant and Equipment, the Reno Creek Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition as it was determined that the operations of the Reno Creek Project do not meet the definition of a business as defined in ASC 805: Business Combinations.

The Reno Creek Project is comprised of U.S. federal mineral lode claims, state mineral leases, various private mineral leases and certain surface use agreements which grant us the exclusive right to explore, develop and mine for uranium on a 19,437-acre area in Campbell County, Wyoming. The mineral leases and surface use agreements are subject to certain royalty interests with terms ranging from 5 to 15 years, some of which have extension provisions.
