Canadian Uranium explores acquisitions as Rook II exploration progresses in Saskatchewan (Mining.com)

Something curious at Maronan's AGM last week. The usually uncontroversial 7.1A placement mandate was voted down. Kinterra's fingerprints all over it

Recall Kinterra's battle for New World Resources, when it successfully challenged a placement to rival bidder CAML

At this point, we reckon it's blindingly obvious Kinterra wants the lot here too. Sooner rather than later
