Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.  

 

On July 28, 2016, Western Uranium Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a consulting agreement (the “Agreement’) with Baobab Asset Management LLC (the “Consultant”), pursuant to which the Consultant, through Russell Fryer, is to provide consulting services to the Company. Mr. Fryer, who is a director of the Company, is the sole member and manager of the Consultant. The Agreement was made effective as of April 1, 2016 and is for a term ending on September 30, 2016. Each party has the right to terminate the Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ written notice.

 

Under the Agreement, the Consultant is to provide the following services: (1) Work directly with the executive management of global uranium, vanadium, steel and nuclear utilities for the benefit of the Company; (2) introduce the Company to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency leadership in order to advance Company objectives; (3) create market awareness of the benefits of nuclear energy as a carbon-free, green energy source of electricity; (4) interface with global utility companies in order to secure uranium supply contracts; (5) manage the marketing, media and investor relations activities of the Company; (6) interact with global investment bankers to optimize the Company’s balance sheet; (7) meet and present with institutional and retail investors where required; and (8) present the Company at investor conferences. For these services, the Company agreed to pay the Consultant US$30,000 for the month of April 2016 and compensation of US$15,000 for each month thereafter, all payable on the first day of each month in arrears, or as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the parties. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Consultant for all reasonable expenses including travel and accommodations associated with Consultant’s activities and responsibilities under the Agreement.
