TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 15, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION INTO THE USA

Pancontinental Uranium Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PUC) ("Pancon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the "PSA") with Essential Mining Resources PTY Ltd. ("EMR" or the "Purchaser") that provides for the sale of the Company's entire interest (43.72%) in the Joint Venture (the "JV") with Crossland Strategic Metals Limited ("Crossland") of Australia. The JV holds the extensive Charley Creek rare earth element (REE) project as well as a number of prospective uranium properties in the Northern Territory of Australia.

1. Cash payments totaling AUD $2,550,000, which includes a deposit of AUD $450,000; and
2. A Gross Overriding Royalty of one percent (1%) on sales of production from 100% of the property.

1. Completion of due diligence by the Purchaser;
2. Receipt of approvals pursuant to the Mineral Titles Act of the Northern Territory, Australia;
3. Shareholder and regulatory approvals; and
4. Satisfying and discharging all liabilities and expenses with respect to Pancon's interest in the JV, which includes a payment to Crossland of approximately AUD $164,000.

Subject to closing conditions being satisfied, closing is expected to occur in June 2015 or possibly earlier.

EMR is a private Australian-based company which is 100%-owned by EMMCO Mining Sdn Bhd ("EMMCO"), a private Malaysian company beneficially held by a consortium of South East Asian investors.

Pancon President and CEO Rick Mark states, "This transaction enables Pancon shareholders to capitalize on our exploration success at Charley Creek; it provides the Company with a cash injection and the ability to benefit from all future production. This sale has been accomplished in a very difficult mining market and allows the Company to pursue other opportunities immediately."

Pancon has tentatively set a meeting date of March 13, 2015 for shareholders to approve the transaction, however, Pancon intends to obtain sufficient written consent from shareholders, eliminating the need for a shareholder meeting.
