First Uranium announces receipt of US$5 million from Gold One Escrow.
Toronto and Johannesburg First Uranium Corporation (NEX:FIU.H) (JSE:FUU) (ISIN:CA33744R5047) (First Uranium or the Corporation)
announced that on 1 February 2013 it received US$5 million, being the balance of the US$70 million sale proceeds from the sale of First
Uranium Limited, which owns all of the shares of Ezulwini Mining Company (Proprietary) Limited.
As previously reported on January 21, 2013, the Corporation received US$25 million, being the balance of the US$335 million purchase price
for the shares of Mine Waste Solutions (Proprietary) Limited, which amount had been held in escrow pursuant to the sale agreement with AngloGold
Ashanti Limited. From these funds, the Corporation used CAD$4.5 million (being 3% of the principal amount owing as of April 30, 2012) to repay the
final amount due under the trust indenture for the 4.25% unsecured convertible debentures (the Debentures). This final payment resulted in the Debentures
being redeemed in full on January 28, 2013.
The Board of the Corporation will determine, subject to the establishment of a reserve for any continuing and contingent obligations of the Corporation,
an additional amount to be distributed to the holders of the Units. It is the Corporations present intention, subject to the requirements of the stock exchanges,
to effect an additional distribution to shareholders by the end of March 2013.
The Corporation will also consider the most efficient and orderly way in which to distribute to the shareholders all remaining property of the Corporation
(after payment of the Corporations creditors). The Corporation may then proceed to be wound up and dissolved. However, the Board has not made any decisions
with respect to the windup and dissolution at this time.
