KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 7, 2010) - STRATHMORE MINERALS CORP. ("Strathmore" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:STM) announces that Bayswater Uranium Corporation has notified the Company in writing of its election to meet the terms of the superior competing offer received from a foreign based corporation for its Pine Tree-Reno Creek Properties in Wyoming. The matched competing offer comprises US$ 17.5 million cash, US $2.5 million in common shares of Bayswater, to be paid on closing, and a 5% gross production royalty, which can be repurchased in whole or in part by Bayswater at any time for US $2 million (US $1 million cash and US $1 million in common shares) per 1% royalty reduction. Bayswater will be advancing an additional US $250,000 to Strathmore by January 21, 2010, as it has already met certain revised terms regarding due diligence, which was completed at an earlier date. The previously agreed terms to acquire the interest held by American Uranium Corporation remain unchanged.

Strathmore and Bayswater have agreed to a newly amended formal Purchase Agreement, subject to a revised financing by Bayswater that will meet the amended terms. Bayswater has been granted until April 6, 2010 to complete the transaction. The new agreement provides for a more streamlined transaction with substantially more upfront cash paid to Strathmore on closing.
