Redport Ltd (ASX:RPT) signed an agreement with View Resources (ASX:VRE) to acquire approximately 160 square kilometres of highly prospective land surrounding its Lake Maitland uranium project in Western Australia. The Lake Maitland project has an in situ metal value of more than $900 million and is one of Australia's largest unmined uranium deposits. The View tenements, which are located to the west and south of Redport's existing Lake Maitland uranium deposit, triple Redport's total exploration area in the Lake Maitland region. The newly acquired ground has potential to hold further uranium mineralisation as drilling by various mining and oil companies in the 1970s intersected carnotite to the west and south. Under the terms of the agreement, Redport Exploration will acquire the mining tenements M53/571 through to M53/587 (inclusive), E53/1210, E53/1211 and P37/6943 for a total consideration of $275,000 cash and 2.2 million fully paid ordinary shares in Redport, subject to any existing encumbrances and interests. View will retain the right to toll treat any gold derived from the area at its Bronzewing plant on commercial terms. If Redport identifies a JORC compliant uranium resource of 2,500 tonnes or more within the acquired tenements, it has agreed to issue View an additional 1.1 million fully paid ordinary shares in Redport. The agreement is subject to a 14-day due diligence period.
