reports the Company�s merger with
Kilgore Minerals Ltd. has been completed to create a well-balanced, small-cap,
uranium exploration and development company with combined working capital of $42
million. Bayswater has a highly attractive property portfolio consisting of
large exploration land holdings in Canada�s most important uranium regions. In
addition, the Company now has, upon completing the merger, advanced uranium
properties with historical uranium resources having near term production potential in the United States.
Acquired historical resources in Montana are summarized as
follows as stated in a NI 43-101 technical report by James R. Guilinger of World
Industrial Minerals, LLC dated June 6, 2007:
The above historical uranium resources have considerable
potential for expansion by further step-out drilling�since previous exploration
was discontinued in the 1980�s as a result of the depressed uranium price. Of
the above resource properties, the Company will initially focus on the Mountain
West property in Nevada and the Acadia, Ella, and Mindy properties in Montana
with respect to confirming and expanding resources, metallurgical and
hydrological testing, bringing historical resources into NI 43-101 compliance
and in developing the properties to definitive feasibility and licensing to
production. A detailed review of the regulatory requirements for permitting and
licensing in both Nevada and Montana has indicated that no unusual impediments
to exploration, development and production are anticipated for these
projects.
The merger with Kilgore also provided the Company with
strategic land packages elsewhere in Montana as well as in Wyoming, with known
uranium mineralization and defined targets for drill testing and potential
resource delineation.
George Leary, President and CEO of Bayswater stated, "Bayswater
combines the high discovery potential of its Canadian exploration properties
with the addition of several advanced-stage properties in the United States with
upside and near-term production potential, providing shareholders with a balanced and diversified exposure to the fast-growing uranium market. Although
no change to the Company�s management has occurred as a result of the Kilgore
merger, we are all very pleased that Norm Burmeister, former CEO and president
of Kilgore, has agreed to continue as a special advisor to the Company on its US
operations."
In Canada, Bayswater is the largest landholder in the Central
Mineral Belt, Labrador, and the Thelon Basin, Nunavut/Northwest Territories. The
Company also has one of the largest land positions in the Athabasca Basin, the
world richest uranium-producing region. In 2007 and early 2008, approximately
$20 million has been budgeted for exploration in Canada with the goal of bringing all properties to the drilling stage. Of this budget, over $6.0 million
is allocated for drill testing of uranium targets. Drilling is already underway
in the Central Mineral Belt, with two drill rigs testing up to ten uranium
targets.
In the United States, Bayswater is now one of the largest
uranium property holders with 22 projects. The Company is planning programs over
the next year consisting of confirmation and step-out drilling along with
metallurgical testing on its Nevada and Montana properties�both of which
properties are to be fast tracked to production pursuant to the requisite
environmental and social impact regulatory process. The regulatory process in
regards to base line studies, permitting and licensing has been initiated on the
Nevada project, and is planned to be initiated shortly on the Montana project.
Also, surface exploration and drilling is planned for other uranium properties
in Wyoming and Montana. The Company has budgeted approximately $10.0 million for
these projects over the next year.
Mr. Leary stated: "As the only company in the world with
landholdings comprising over 7.1 million acres (nearly 29,000 sq km) in Canada�s
most important uranium exploration and development regions, Bayswater is in an
excellent position for discovery of new resources. This strong exploration
portfolio is now balanced with hard assets represented by our US properties that
we are moving towards production to realize significant cash flow."
Bayswater has evolved, through its strategy to become a major
international uranium company, from a Canadian focused uranium explorer to an
international exploration and development company. This strategy has been
strengthened by the rapidly growing nuclear energy market, as countries turn
increasingly to nuclear power, without carbon dioxide emissions typical of
fossil fuels, to meet ever-growing energy needs.
To capitalize on the strong growth of the nuclear industry and
to continue to add shareholder value, Bayswater is pursuing additional merger
and acquisition opportunities that complement and/or add to the Company�s
existing assets and business model. Furthermore, Bayswater intends to file a
Form 20-F registration statement with the SEC to become a reporting issuer in
the United States. Also, the Company is considering plans to subsequently list
its shares on a US stock exchange in order to increase the Company�s
attractiveness to retail and institutional investors worldwide.
