Victoria Park Capital Invests $3,000,000, in Quantec Geoscience Limited and its Uranium Solutions Business
Toronto, Ontario - December 21, 2006 –
Quantec Geoscience Limited ("Quantec" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that Victoria Park Capital Inc., on behalf of its client,
Investment Saskatchewan, will invest $3,000,000 in the company to help
accelerate the Company’s Uranium Solutions Business.
According to Ron Vermey, President & CEO of Quantec, "Quantec has
already proven its leadership in the mining exploration sector and we are
now poised to enter the Uranium industry at full speed. With the support and
industry affiliations of Victoria Park Capital, we are confident we will
quickly become the first call for geophysics in the Uranium exploration
industry."
Quantec’s Chairman, Loudon Owen, also Managing Partner of Quantec’s
largest investor McLean Watson Ventures II, added, "Quantec is building on a legacy
of 20 years in geophysics, and its Titan Technology revolutionized the
mining exploration industry. We are delighted to have such a prominent
partner help lead our foray into a similar leadership role in the uranium
exploration industry at such a critical juncture in the industry.”
This investment facilitates the acceleration of the advancement of Quantec’s
proprietary Titan 24 MT&DCIP distributed array technology to the next level.
This next level of development of Titan 24 MT&DCIP allows Quantec to provide
its clients a three-dimensional data acquisition system utilizing wireless
distributed array technology. This method of data acquisition provides the
optimum data possible to feed three-dimensional inversion programs. The end
result will be the deepest clearest picture possible of the property’s
geology.
This three-dimensional Titan like system will initially be tested in
Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. In addition, Quantec is opening an office in
Saskatoon to serve our Saskatchewan clients and to build our world-wide
uranium consulting business.
Brian LaBerge of Victoria Park Capital added, "We are excited about Quantec’s technology and its application in the uranium exploration
industry. Quantec’s cutting-edge technology will help maintain and build
Saskatchewan’s leadership role in the uranium industry. We are delighted to
have partnered with Quantec, its management team and current investors.”
