SRG Update on Redomiciliation and Strategic Partners

(TheNewswire)

Montreal, Quebec – TheNewswire - February 26, 2024 - SRG Mining Inc. (TSXV:SRG) (“SRG” or the “Company”) today announced further details on the previously announced redomiciliation of SRG to another jurisdiction as well as an update on the strategic partnership and financing discussions.

Redomiciliation to United Arab Emirates

Following a comprehensive review of various jurisdictions the Company has selected the Abu Dhabi Global Market (the “ADGM”) in the United Arab Emirates (the “UAE”) as the preferred jurisdiction for redomiciliation (the “UAE Redomiciliation”). The UAE Redomiciliation will provide the Company with expanded strategic optionality. Additionally, the UAE has a double taxation treaty and a bilateral investment treaty with the Republic of Guinea, where SRG’s main asset, the Lola Graphite Project, is located.

The Company is taking immediate steps towards the UAE Redomiciliation which is not conditional on the previously announced transaction with Carbon ONE New Energy Group Co., Ltd (“C-ONE”). The UAE Redomiciliation shareholder vote is anticipated in Q2 2024. The Company intends to retain its listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), and therefore, will require approval from the TSXV for the UAE Redomiciliation. The Company must complete a formal application process for the UAE Redomiciliation with the ADGM Registration Authority in order to continue as an ADGM company, and consequently, will also require approval from the ADGM Registration Authority for the UAE Redomiciliation. The Company has retained Norton Rose Fulbright and a specialist tax advisor to assist with the UAE Redomiciliation.

Strategic Partnership and Financing Discussions Progressing

Following the announcement of the transaction with C-ONE, the Company has met with several other strategic partners who have expressed interest to become a Tier One supplier to the Western battery end markets. The Company is currently evaluating the various strategic options.

Concurrently, the Company has been advancing discussions with multiple high-quality parties who have expressed interest in providing financing to advance SRG towards first production. The Company is seeking both debt and equity financing to fund the construction of the first phase of the Lola Graphite Project, as well as the anode material plant to produce coated spherical purified graphite (“CSPG”).

SRG will provide further comment only if a specific transaction or process is concluded, or if further disclosure is required or deemed appropriate. There can be no assurance that the Company will pursue any transaction or that a transaction, if pursued, will be completed.
