ACQUISITION OF THE ALTA MESA ISR PROJECT On June 16, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of EFR Alta Mesa LLC ( Alta Mesa ) (formerly named  Mestena Uranium, LLC ) and its related companies, together referred to as Alta Mesa. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the sellers of Alta Mesa received 4,551,284 common shares of the Company. Alta Mesas primary asset is the Alta Mesa ISR Project (the  Alta Mesa Project ) located in Texas. The Alta Mesa Project is a fully-permitted and licensed production facility that is not currently operating. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of assets as Alta Mesa did not meet the definition of a business under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations because the assets in Alta Mesa do not have developed wellfields which are a key process for extraction of uranium. The development can only commence once uranium prices improve and economic feasibility of the Alta Mesa Project is established. The measurement of the purchase consideration was based on the market price of the Company's common stock on June 16, 2016 of $2.50 per share. The total transaction costs incurred through June 30, 2016 by the Company were $1.29 million which were capitalized as part of the purchase consideration. The aggregate fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows on the acquisition date: Issuance of 4,551,824 common shares $ 11,378 Transaction costs 1,290 Purchase consideration $ 12,668 The purchase price was allocated as follows: Plant and equipment (a) $ 13,626 Inventories 177 Restricted cash 4,532 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (213 ) Asset retirement obligation (5,454 ) Net identifiable assets $ 12,668 (a) The plant and equipment include the value ascribed to the processing plant and equipment. The mineral properties, which were acquired as part of the acquisition of Alta Mesa in 2016, do not have proven and probable reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7. Accordingly, all subsequent expenditures at the Alta Mesa Project and equipment, which do not have any alternative use, and expenditures on mineral properties will be expensed as incurred. ACQUISITION OF URANERZ ENERGY CORPORATION On June 18, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Uranerz Energy Corporation. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, shareholders of Uranerz received 0.255 common shares of the Company for each share of Uranerz common stock held. Each outstanding Uranerz option or warrant was converted into an option or warrant (as applicable) to acquire common shares of the Company, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the stock option or warrant (as applicable) prior to the acquisition, except that the number of shares subject to the option or warrant and the exercise price of the option or warrant were adjusted based on the exchange ratio of 0.255 , so as to preserve the economic value of such options or warrants. Uranerz, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a United States-based uranium company focused on in-situ uranium recovery. ISR is a uranium extraction process that uses a leaching solution to extract uranium from underground sandstone-hosted uranium resources and then recover the uranium in the form of uranium concentrates. Uranerz controls a land position in the central Powder River Basin in Wyoming, where it operates the Nichols Ranch Project. The acquisition of Uranerz provided the Company with ISR capabilities and the capability to expand ISR extraction and recovery in the future. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, with the Company being identified as the acquirer. The measurement of the purchase consideration was based on the market price of the Company's common stock on June 18, 2015 which was $4.16 per share.
