On closing of the Agreement, Fulcrum has been issued a total of 1,997,151 common shares in

share representing 4.49% per cent. of the issued share capital of Terra. The Initial Terra
Consideration Shares will be subject to a hold period of four months from the date of issuance in
accordance with applicable securities laws in Canada. Thereafter Fulcrum has agreed to orderly
sales provisions with respect to the Initial Terra Consideration Shares.
In addition, and following the exercise of the option, Fulcrum will retain 1 per cent. net smelter
return ("NSR") royalty on all claims with a buydown option of 0.5 per cent. NSR for CA$1 million.
Ryan Mee, Chief Executive Officer of Fulcrum, commented:
"I am pleased to be able to announce the closing of the option agreement for the sale of Fulcrum's
uranium assets to Terra Balcanica Resources, which validates the ability of Fulcrum to be able to
realise value from its highly prospective exploration portfolio for shareholders.
Fulcrum maintain exposure to the uranium assets through the share equity payments totalling
CDN$3m and the 1 per cent net smelter royalty, whilst the obligated exploration expenditures of
CDN$3.25m will leverage against the value of that share equity with no dilution to Fulcrum
shareholders.
It is an exciting time at Fulcrum as we concentrate our energy on our innovative and lowenvironmental impact tailings processing assets, Teck-Hughes and Sylvanite, as well as our drill ready
gold projects in Ontario. We believe that focusing on these assets, whilst maintaining exposure to the
uranium assets will be instrumental in our ability to deliver value for our shareholders."
