Northwestern Mineral Ventures (NWT-V, NWTMF-O) and UraMin (UMN-T, UMN-L) are setting up a joint venture to explore eight prospective uranium concessions covering 6,773 sq. km in Niger. The deal will see Toronto-based Northwestern take a 50 percent stake in the new company, and receive a cash payment of 4.8 million dollars and a 3 percent net smelter royalty on any production from its Irhazer and In Gall concessions - two of the eight properties in the yet-to-be-named company's portfolio. News of the merger follows closely on the heels of Northwestern's announcement in late May that Irhazer and In Gall returned values from 0.22 percent to 1 percent U_3O_8 from five of 16 surface rock samples collected from outcrops.
