NEWS RELEASE
Reno Creek Uranium Project, Wyoming Funding for 2012 Approved Program and
Budget Provided by Pacific Road Resources Funds
Vancouver, BC, February 1, 2012 - Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V:
BYU), (OTC:
BYSWF) reports that pursuant to the
investment agreement and shareholders agreement dated April 7, 2010 (the
"Agreements") involving Pacific Road Resources Funds ("PRRF") as amended
January 5, 2011 and January 31, 2012 (see news releases April 7, 2010,
January 18, 2011 and March 5, 2011), the Company was obliged to fund the
special purpose entity ("RC Holdings"), which owns 100% of the Reno Creek
Uranium Property through RC Holdings wholly owned subsidiary AUC LLC
("AUC"), with US$8,000,000 by way of quarterly advances as set forth in the
2012 budget for the Reno Creek property (the "Budget").
To date, such
funding has not occurred.
As a result, PRRF has funded the Budget in an
amount of US$8,000,000, and the interest held by Bayswater in RC Holdings
has been reduced from 17.27% to 13.41%, and the maximum interest the Company
may now earn in RC Holdings has been reduced from 31.14 to 13.41%.
Pursuant to the Agreements as amended, PRRF continues to be entitled to
convert its investment in RC Holdings into common shares of the Company at
any time up to six months following the later of completion of a feasibility
study or receipt of all requisite mining permits, but in any event not later
than within five years of closing, which occurred on April 7, 2010, provided
certain conditions are met.
On conversion, PRRFs investment in RC Holdings
will be converted into common shares of the Company pursuant to prescribed
formulas as previously described in the Companys news release dated March
3, 2010.
Upon such conversion, Bayswater will own a 100% interest in RC
Holdings which holds the Reno Creek property.
Copies of the Agreements are available under the Companys profile on SEDAR
at www.sedar.com.
AUC, an affiliate that holds the Reno Creek Property and operator of the
Reno Creek Project, has continued to make significant advances in the
permitting process for the project.
The environmental baseline has been
completed.
At AUCs request, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held a
pre-submission audit of AUCs draft license application and completed a
field trip on the Reno Creek site in mid-November, 2011.
NRCs audit
revealed that AUCs draft application was very thorough.
The audit provided
specific information regarding issues that are often subject to Requests for
Additional Information (RAI).
The information will allow AUC to address the
issues in detail in the application and reduce the number and severity of
RAIs during the technical review, thus lessening the amount of time the
permit review will require.
AUCs plans for 2012 include completion of the application for a Source
Materials License Application from NRC and an application for a Permit to
Mine from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Land Quality
Division.
AUC will continue to pursue a Wyoming Underground Injection
Control Permit for four Class I Non-Hazardous Injection Wells for waste
disposal.
In addition, the company intends to drill up to 550 exploration
and delineation holes on various Reno Creek area properties.
Engineering
and design of the Production Units and Central Process Plant will be started
this year.
AUC then plans to prepare both an updated NI 43-101 compliant
Resource Estimate and economic evaluation by the end of 2012.
