Implementation
of Scheme
Base
Resources Limited (ASX &
AIM: BSE) (Base
Resources) is
pleased to advise that the scheme of arrangement under which EFR
Australia Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Fuels Inc.
(Energy
Fuels))
acquired all of the issued shares in Base Resources has today been
implemented.
Special
Dividend
The
Special Dividend of AUD 6.5 cents for
each Base Resources share was paid yesterday (1 October 2024).
Scheme
Consideration
Base
Resources shareholders and Base Resources DI Holders (who are not
Ineligible Foreign Shareholders or Electing Small Shareholders)
have today received the Scheme Consideration of 0.0260 Energy Fuels
shares for each Base Resources share held on the Scheme Record Date
(being 6.00pm (London time) on Friday, 20 September 2024 for Base Resources DI
Holders).
As soon as
reasonably practicable, Energy Fuels will cause a DRS Advice to be
sent to each Base Resources shareholder and Base Resources DI
Holder (who is not an Ineligible Foreign Shareholder or an Electing
Small Shareholder) in respect of the Energy Fuels shares
representing their Scheme Consideration, which will be sent to
their registered address as shown in the Base Resources Share

Scheme Record Date. Energy Fuels expects it will take between 11-20
Business Days for the DRS Advices to be received by
post.
Ineligible

receive Energy Fuels shares. Instead,
those holders will receive their pro-rata proportion of the net
cash proceeds of the sale of the applicable Energy Fuels shares by
the sale agent. Further
