Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2024) - Hertz Energy Inc. (CSE: HZ) (OTCQB: HZLIF) (FSE: QX1) (the "Company") is pleased to announce plans for its inaugural exploration campaign on the Snake Lithium Property (the "Property" or "Project"), located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. The Project is located proximal to existing hydroelectric power that flanks the Property to the east, an all-season road that crosses the western side of the Property and is situated in greenstone terrain that is highly prospective for lithium-bearing pegmatites.
Kal Malhi, CEO of the Company, comments: "We are extremely excited for the commencement of the inaugural field exploration at Snake, which will see the first focused lithium exploration program on the Property to date. Having one of the best geological teams in Quebec and a strong balance sheet, which fully funds both the surface exploration and drill programs in 2024, puts Hertz in a strong position."
The 2024 surface exploration program at Snake is planned to commence onJune 20th. The program is planned to include three to four weeks of geological prospecting, rock sampling, and mapping, as well as a property-wide LiDAR and orthophoto survey and interpretation.
HERTZ URANIUM INC
The Company also announces, following a strategic review, its intention to reorganize its uranium exploration projects in a newly formed entity which will be uranium focussed, called Hertz Uranium Inc.
The Company anticipates that it will complete the reorganization, being a plan of arrangement, whereby the existing shareholders of the Company will receive shares of the newly formed Hertz Uranium Inc on a ratio to be determined based on the fair market value of the uranium projects and investment by the Company. It is also anticipated that the newly formed entity will seek listing on a Canadian or Australian exchange.
Management of the Company believes that the reorganization of the Company's uranium assets will unlock value for shareholders with a Company focussed on a single resource. The details of the reorganization are subject to structural changes to optimize the tax efficiency for the Company and its shareholders. Management reserves the right to alter or amend the reorganization having regard to tax, financing, regulatory or exchange considerations. Although the reorganization is the current intention of management, there can be no assurance that the Company will complete the reorganization in the manner described or on the terms contemplated above.
