ALX Uranium Corp. Announces Closing of Transaction with Denison for Hook-Carter Property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Vancouver, B.C. (FSCwire) - ALX Uranium Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company) (TSXV: AL; FSE:  6LLN;  OTCQX:  ALXEF) is pleased to announce that further to its news release of October 13, 2016, it has closed the sale to Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) (TSX: DML, NYSE MKT: DNN) of an 80% ownership of the entire Hook-Carter property (“Hook-Carter”, or the “Property”) in exchange for the issuance of 7.5 million common shares of Denison.  Under the terms of the sale, ALX will retain a 20% interest in the Property and Denison agrees to fund ALX’s share of the first CAD$12M in expenditures under a joint venture to be formed.

Hook-Carter consists of 28 claims totaling 16,805 hectares, and is located near the southwestern margin of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.  The Property lies on the northeastern extension of a 15 kilometre-long trend of uranium deposits and occurrences along the prolific Patterson Lake Corridor – host to the recently discovered Triple R Deposit (Fission Uranium Corp.), the Arrow Deposit (NexGen Energy Ltd.), and the Spitfire Zone (Purepoint Uranium Group Inc., Cameco Corp., and AREVA Resources Canada Inc.), all which occur within 8 to 20 kilometres of the Property.  Hook-Carter features between 250 and 700 metres of Athabasca Group sandstone cover overlying the basement rocks that define the prospective geological trends or corridors.  As a result, the Property offers potential for both basement-hosted and unconformity-hosted uranium mineralization.  Hook-Carter is significantly underexplored compared to other active properties along this trend with only eight historical drill holes, including only five holes within the Patterson Lake Corridor trend. Drill permits have been received for drilling at Hook-Carter in 2017.

Denison is required to spend CAD$3.0M on the Property over the first 3 years.  If Denison does not meet the CAD$3.0M work commitment, ALX’s interest will increase from 20% to 25% and Denison’s interest in the project will decrease from 80% to 75%. Thirty-six months after the effective date of the Agreement, the parties will form a joint venture, in which all material decisions shall be carried by a vote representing a 51% ownership interest.

Mark Lackey, President and CEO of ALX Uranium Corp. commented, “We believe that Denison will be a great partner for this project, considering its good reputation and record of success in the discovery and development of uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.  ALX has received a significant stake of 7,500,000 shares in Denison from this transaction, so we will benefit from any success that Denison enjoys.”
