  1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

What is our business?

The Company was incorporated on September 23, 2013 under the laws of the Canada Business Corporations Act in connection with a court approved plan of arrangement to reorganize Fission Uranium Corp., which was completed on December 6, 2013.

The Company is a junior resource issuer engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of uranium resource properties in Alberta, and in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. The Company's primary objective is to locate, evaluate and acquire properties with the potential to host high grade uranium. The preference is to evaluate early-stage properties with the potential to host high grade uranium at shallow depths and to finance their exploration and potential development by way of equity financing, joint ventures, option agreements or other means. Therefore, the Company engages in early-stage land acquisitions and is a “Project Generator”.

The Company has approximately 211,383 ha of exploration properties with uranium potential in Saskatchewan in Canada.

The Company’s award-winning management and technical team have a track record of acquiring highly prospective uranium properties, and successfully exploring and developing them for potential sale. By embracing the Project Generator model, the Company, through property option and joint venture agreements and technical expertise as operator, has the ability to attract financial partners.

The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSXV under the symbol “FUU”, the OTCQB under the symbol “FISOF” and the FSE under the symbol “X42”.

Recent Developments

The following is a brief summary of key recent developments involving or affecting the Company.

On January 22, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a property swap agreement with CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (“CanAlaska”), pursuant to which F3 will receive CanAlaska’s Patterson West Property in exchange for F3’s Hobo Lake Property (as defined below). Both properties are located in or near the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The Patterson West Property mineral claims have been incorporated with the Broach Property such that it now comprises 17 claims with a total area of 19,023 ha.

On January 16, 2024, the Company announced that it had initiated steps to spin out (the “Spin Out”) 14 of the Company’s prospective uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin including the Lazy Edward Bay, Murphy Lake, Cree Bay, Hearty Bay, Clearwater West, Wales Lake, Todd, Smart Lake, Grey Island, Seahorse Lake, Bird Lake, Beaver River, Bell Lake and Flowerdew Lake properties into a newly incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary to be named F4 Uranium Corp. The PLN property along with the Broach and Minto Properties will remain with F3. It is expected that the Spin Out will be effected by way of a plan of arrangement, under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

On October 18, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed a financing with Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) for a $15 million strategic investment by Denison with the acquisition of unsecured convertible debentures issued by F3. The debentures are convertible at a conversion price of $0.56. Assuming conversion of the debentures and no other changes to F3’s outstanding share capital, shares issued would represent approximately 6% of the Company.

On September 26, 2023, the Company announced the appointment of Laurie Thomas to the Board of Directors.

On September 12, 2023 the Company completed a bought deal private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $20 million. Under the offering the company sold 41,237,113 flow-through units of the Company, which included the full exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $0.485 per flow-through unit. Each flow-through unit consisted of one common share of the Company issued as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.485 per warrant share at any time on or before September 12, 2025.
