Core Lithium sells non-core uranium assets for $5M

Core Lithium (ASX:CXO) has completed the sale of its non-core uranium assets to Elevate Uranium (ASX:EL8) for a total consideration of $5 million, comprising $2.5 million in cash and $2.5 million in Elevate shares, along with a 1% net smelter royalty on any metals or minerals produced from the Napperby Project.

At the time of reporting, Core Lithium’s share price was $0.28.
