Rhea-AI Summary

Verdera Energy (VUECF) has agreed to sell a 100% interest, subject to royalties, in its Treeline Uranium Project in New Mexico to Americas Uranium Corp. under a Mineral Property Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Consideration comprises US$100,000 in cash at closing and staged issuances over 36 months totalling C$2,000,000 in Americas Uranium common shares. Verdera will retain a 1.5% net proceeds royalty on uranium and a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty on other minerals, which can be reduced to 1.0% through a C$400,000 payment to Verdera.
