Bannerman Resources is in talks with its major shareholder Resource Capital Fund and director and shareholder Clive Jones to clean up its balance sheet.
The company is proposing to acquire the 20% minority stake of its flagship Etango uranium project in Namibia from Jones for 123.4 million shares and $A1 million cash.
Also proposed is the conversion of $8 million of convertible notes held by RCF, and the sale of a 1.5% royalty over Etango to RCF for $6 million, comprising $2 million cash and the extinguishment of the residual convertible notes held by RCF.
The deals would leave RCF with a 38.7% stake and Jones with an 11.05% interest in Bannerman.
Bannerman is also planning to raise around $3 million.
