Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) has entered an option agreement to acquire up to a 90 percent interest in the Great Divide Basin uranium project located in Wyoming's Fremont and Sweetwater counties. The 2,080-acre property is situated within a prolific uranium-producing region and represents Canamera's first foray into uranium exploration in the United States. CEO Brad Brodeur stated that the project provides a strong foundation for systematic exploration efforts.
The agreement outlines a staged earn-in structure involving share issuances, cash payments, and exploration spending across three distinct option phases. If the initial option is successfully completed, the arrangement is designed to transition into a joint venture. This strategic move comes as global interest in uranium intensifies due to increasing recognition of nuclear energy's role in clean energy transitions and energy security. The Great Divide Basin has historically been a significant uranium-producing area, making this acquisition particularly noteworthy for the company's portfolio expansion.
Canamera Energy Metals Corp. is primarily known as a rare earth and critical metals exploration company with a portfolio of district-scale opportunities across the Americas. The company's existing assets include the Mantle project in British Columbia, the Garrow rare earth elements project in Northern Ontario, the Schryburt Lake rare earth and niobium project in Ontario, the Iron Hills critical and rare earth project in Colorado, and the Turvolândia and São Sepé rare earth element projects in Brazil. The company's approach focuses on targeting underexplored regions with strong geological signatures in supportive jurisdictions, utilizing comprehensive geochemical, geophysical, and geological datasets to identify and advance high-conviction exploration targets.
The option agreement for the Wyoming uranium project aligns with broader industry trends where exploration companies are diversifying into critical mineral sectors with strong demand fundamentals. This acquisition represents a calculated expansion for Canamera as it positions itself within the uranium sector while maintaining its focus on rare earth and critical metals exploration across its diversified project portfolio.
