FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Toronto, Ontario and Nucla, Colorado - Western Uranium Corporation (CSE: WUC) (OTCQX: WSTRF) (“Western” or the ”Company”) announces changes on its Board of Directors and to its senior management. In that regard, Western announces that Russell Fryer no longer serves as Executive Chairman or on the Board of Directors of the Company, and is pleased to appoint Mr. Bryan Murphy as Chairman of the Board.

 

Over the past two years, Western has been engaged in a cost reduction program. To further such cost reductions, Western has taken steps to streamline its management. As disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, on January 28, 2018 the Company provided 90-day notice to Mr. Fryer’s Baobab Asset Management terminating its consulting contract with the Company effective April 30, 2018. Russell Fryer served as Executive Chairman of the Company pursuant to that contract. Concurrently with the effective date of that termination, Mr. Fryer resigned from all positions on the Board of Directors of the Company (effective May 1, 2018). After Board and management review, the Company has implemented a governance and management restructuring both to reduce costs and more effectively meet the short and long term goals of the Company.

 

George Glasier, President/CEO, stated that ”We are very pleased that Bryan has agreed to serve as Chairman, as his background in corporate finance, business strategy and M&A will be a valuable asset in this role”. The implementation of the governance and management restructuring will be facilitated by President/CEO, George Glasier, and Chief Financial Officer, Robert Klein absorbing additional day-to-day management and investor relations duties.
