PURANIUM ENERGY APPOINTS DR. ROGER LAINE AND
DUANE PARNHAM AS TECHNICAL ADVISORS
For Immediate Release
TORONTO, ON – June 16, 2022 – Puranium Energy Ltd. (the “Company” or “Puranium”)
(CSE: UX and FSE:2DK) is pleased to announce that the Company has appointed two key
technical advisors with deep knowledge and expertise in Namibian uranium exploration and
project development.
Dr. Roger Laine and Mr. Duane Parnham will drive Puranium’s exploration focus across the
Company’s seven uranium properties covering 93,514 hectares in Namibia and enhance
Puranium’s ability to make an impact in the ever-evolving clean energy sector in one of the
world’s top three uranium producing countries.
Founding Forsys Metals Corp. (“Forsys”) in 2004, Mr. Parnham played a key role in the
discovery and development of the Valencia Uranium Deposit (“Valencia”). He brought on Dr.
Laine who subsequently discovered the Namibplaas Deposit for Forsys. Puranium’s uranium
property, EPL-7337 completely surrounds Valencia and is on strike with Namibplaas.
“When we set out to create a company in the clean energy sector, we knew that a major
driving force for value creation was going to come from the location of the properties and
the team behind the company. We are fortunate and thrilled to team up with these two
esteemed gentlemen. Based on their expert knowledge of Namibian uranium and their
consistent ability to unlock value, there is no doubt that Mr. Parnham and Dr. Laine are the
right advisors to help us make an impact on uranium exploration in the region,” stated
Puranium President and CEO, Jason Bagg.
Dr. Roger Laine: Dr. Laine is a geological engineer with over 40 years of experience in
advanced mineral exploration projects, specializing in geo-statistics and reserve estimating,
copper, copper-gold porphyry, gold and uranium deposits, underground and open -pit
mines, grade and quality control using advanced computerized information systems. During
his extensive career, he has held senior executive positions with several mining exploration
companies working in the Americas, West and Central Africa and Europe. He was also Vice
President of Exploration for Amok Ltd. (a subsidiary of COGEMA, now part of AREVA).
Mr. Duane Parnham: As Founder of Forsys, Mr. Parnham was involved in every aspect of
the progress of Valencia from prospect to developed uranium deposit. to become a licensed
uranium producer. Under his leadership, Forsys, a C$45,000 exploration start-up in Namibia,
grew to a licensed uranium producer with a market cap of C$860,000,000. He has spent his
over 30-year career developing and founding several resource-focused companies, including
Temex Resources, UNX Energy, Giyani Metals, Canoe Mining Ventures and Broadway
Strategic Metals. To date, he has created over C$1.2 billion in shareholder value for
companies in which he has been directly involved.
