There’s no doubt that money can be made by owning shares of unprofitable businesses. For example, biotech and mining exploration companies often lose money for years before finding success with a new treatment or mineral discovery. But while the successes are well known, investors should not ignore the very many unprofitable companies that simply burn through all their cash and collapse.

So should Eastern Platinum (TSE:ELR) shareholders be worried about its cash burn? In this article, we define cash burn as its annual (negative) free cash flow, which is the amount of money a company spends each year to fund its growth. Let’s start with an examination of the business’ cash, relative to its cash burn.

See our latest analysis for Eastern Platinum

When Might Eastern Platinum Run Out Of Money?

A cash runway is defined as the length of time it would take a company to run out of money if it kept spending at its current rate of cash burn. As at June 2022, Eastern Platinum had cash of US$6.4m and no debt. In the last year, its cash burn was US$5.3m. That means it had a cash runway of around 15 months as of June 2022. That’s not too bad, but it’s fair to say the end of the cash runway is in sight, unless cash burn reduces drastically. You can see how its cash balance has changed over time in the image below.

debt-equity-history-analysisHow Well Is Eastern Platinum Growing?

Eastern Platinum reduced its cash burn by 4.9% during the last year, which points to some degree of discipline. However, operating revenue was basically flat over that time period. In light of the data above, we’re fairly sanguine about the business growth trajectory. In reality, this article only makes a short study of the company’s growth data. This graph of historic earnings and revenue shows how Eastern Platinum is building its business over time.

How Easily Can Eastern Platinum Raise Cash?

Even though it seems like Eastern Platinum is developing its business nicely, we still like to consider how easily it could raise more money to accelerate growth. Companies can raise capital through either debt or equity. Many companies end up issuing new shares to fund future growth. By comparing a company’s annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate).

Since it has a market capitalisation of US$27m, Eastern Platinum’s US$5.3m in cash burn equates to about 19% of its market value. As a result, we’d venture that the company could raise more cash for growth without much trouble, albeit at the cost of some dilution.

So, Should We Worry About Eastern Platinum’s Cash Burn?

The good news is that in our view Eastern Platinum’s cash burn situation gives shareholders real reason for optimism. One the one hand we have its solid cash burn reduction, while on the other it can also boast very strong cash runway. Even though we don’t think it has a problem with its cash burn, the analysis we’ve done in this article does suggest that shareholders should give some careful thought to the potential cost of raising more money in the future. Its important for readers to be cognizant of the risks that can affect the company’s operations, and we’ve picked out 1 warning sign for Eastern Platinum that investors should know when investing in the stock.

Below is a summary of the Company's financial results for the first quarter of 2022 ("Q1 2022") (all amounts in USD unless specified) in comparison to the same respective period in 2021 ("Q1 2021"):

Revenue for Q1 2022 increased to $17.4 million (Q1 2021 – $16.7 million), representing a 4.3% increase. The increase in revenue for Q1 2022 was primarily due to an increase in platinum group metal ("PGM") sales in the period.

Mine operating income increased by $2.0 million (or 137.5%) to $3.4 million in Q1 2022 (Q1 2021 – $1.4 million), resulting in an improved gross margin of 19.6% in Q1 2022 from 8.6% in Q1 2021.

Operating income was $0.1 million in Q1 2022 compared to an operating loss of $1.7 million in Q1 2021.

Net income attributable to shareholders was $3.0 million ($0.02 earnings per share) in Q1 2022 versus loss attributable to shareholders of $0.9 million ($0.01 loss per share) in Q1 2021. The Q1 2022 net income was largely attributable to the foreign exchange gain due to the appreciation of the South African Rand relative to the U.S. Dollar in Q1 2022, while in Q1 2021, the U.S. Dollar strengthened.

The Company had positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $17.2 million as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – $14.6 million) and short-term cash resources of $6.6 million (consisting of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments) (December 31, 2021 – $6.1 million).

Operations

The Company continues its Retreatment Project at Barplats Mines (Pty) Limited's tailings facility (the "Retreatment Project") located at the Company's Crocodile River Mine ("CRM") in South Africa.

Summary of chrome production for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021:

	Q1 2022	Q1 2021
Total Tailings Feed (Tons)	574,242	607,606
Average grade Cr concentrate	38.97%	38.47%
Tons of Cr concentrate	121,122	203,901

The majority of the Company's revenue (approximately 84% for Q1 2022) is generated from the offtake agreement with Union Goal Offshore Solution Limited ("Union Goal") in relation to chrome concentrate production from the Retreatment Project. The remaining amount of the Company's revenue was from PGM concentrate sales to Impala Platinum Limited ("Impala").

The completion of the reconfiguration and optimization of the small-scale PGM circuit ("PGM Circuit D") in Q1 2021 continued to successfully utilize the feed, following the recovery of chrome concentrate, to produce PGM concentrate under the respective offtake agreements in Q1 2022. Refurbishment work commenced on the PGM main plant circuit ("PGM Main Circuit B") during April 2021 and the circuit was commissioned in October 2021 (see press release of October 29, 2021 for further information). PGM Circuit D and PGM Main Circuit B (collectively, the "PGM Circuits") are both operating and continue to drive revenue growth and gross margin improvement for the Company.

Summary of PGM production for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

	Q1 2022	Q1 2021
Tons of PGM concentrate	879	44

During the period, the Company continued work to close the Maroelabult resource project sale with Eland Platinum (Pty) Limited. Eastplats announced the completion of the sale (see press release of March 22, 2022 for further information). Total cash consideration of R20 million (approximately $1.3 million) was received on March 9, 2022 after the transfer of legal title and various regulatory obligations required in South Africa were completed.

Diana Hu, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Eastplats, commented, "The Q1 financial results have shown the Company is on the right path to continue its revenue growth and profitability improvements from the Retreatment Project and capacity increases from the PGM circuits. We are confident with the progress made by the team and expect to disclose the updated NI 43-101 compliant independent technical report on the Crocodile River Mine shortly."

Noront Resources Ltd.

TORONTO, March 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Noront Resources Ltd. ("Noront" or the "Company") (TSXV:NOT) announces that, as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 25, 2022, being the deadline for shareholders of the Company to make an election to retain all or a portion of their common shares of Noront ("Common Shares") following the Arrangement (as defined below) (a "Retention Election"), an aggregate of 81,620,596 Common Shares (representing approximately 14.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares) are the subject of a Retention Election.

In the absence of the Automatic Squeeze-Out, the public shareholders of Noront (other than the Wyloo Parties) would not have held a sufficient percentage of the outstanding Common Shares for Noront to meet the continued listing requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange.

As a result, all shareholders of Noront (other than the Wyloo Parties) will be entitled to receive the cash consideration of $1.10 per Common Share (the "Cash Consideration"), including in respect of any Retained Shares.

In order to receive the Cash Consideration in exchange for their Common Shares, registered shareholders are reminded that they must complete, sign and return the letter of transmittal to Computershare Investor Services Inc., the depositary appointed in connection with the Arrangement, together with their certificate(s) or DRS advice(s) representing their Common Shares (including any Retained Shares), in accordance with the tender procedures described in the Circular (as defined below). Any Common Shares held in the CDSX system will automatically be deposited under the Arrangement and the beneficial shareholders thereof will receive the Cash Consideration in respect of such Common Shares. If you have any questions or require more information with regard to the procedures for receiving the Cash Consideration, please contact Shorecrest Group, by (i) telephone at 1-888-637-5789 (North American Toll-Free) or 1-647-931-7454 (Collect Calls Outside North America), or (ii) email at contact@shorecrestgroup.com.

Completion of the Arrangement remains subject to, among other things, satisfaction of all conditions precedent to closing the Arrangement, including the final approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Court") and TSX Venture Exchange. The hearing for the final order of the Court to approve the Arrangement is scheduled to occur on April 1, 2022. Assuming that all approvals are obtained and all conditions precedent to the completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived (as applicable), the closing of the Arrangement is scheduled to occur on April 7, 2022. If the Arrangement is completed, the Wyloo Parties intend to cause the Common Shares to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange, and Noront intends to submit an application to the applicable securities regulators to cease to be a reporting issuer.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 25, 2022) – Eastern Platinum Limited (TSX: ELR) (JSE: EPS) ("Eastplats" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has filed its Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and the corresponding Management's Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form. Below is a summary of the Company's financial results for the fourth quarter of 2021 ("Q4 2021") and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 ("FY2021") (all amounts in USD unless specified) in comparison to the same respective periods in 2020 ("Q4 2020" and "FY2020", respectively):

Revenue for Q4 2021 decreased to $15.6 million (Q4 2020 – $15.8 million), representing a 1.3% decrease. Revenue for FY2021 increased to $68.2 million (FY2020 – $56.1 million), representing a 21.5% increase.

Mine operating income increased by $1.4 million (or 93.8%) to $3.0 million in Q4 2021 (Q4 2020 – $1.5 million), resulting in an improved gross margin of 19.1% in Q4 2021 from 9.7% in Q4 2020. Mine operating income in FY2021 increased by $4.1 million (or 73.1%) to $9.6 million (FY2020 – $5.6 million), resulting in an improved gross margin of 14.1% in FY2021 from 9.9% in FY2020.

Operating income was $0.2 million in Q4 2021 compared to an operating loss of $0.7 million in Q4 2020. Operating loss improved by $2.5 million to $1.2 million in FY2021 from $3.7 million in FY2020, a 67.2% decrease in operating loss.

Net loss attributable to shareholders was $1.9 million ($0.01 loss per share) in Q4 2021 versus earnings attributable to shareholders of $3.0 million ($0.03 earnings per share) in Q4 2020. The Q4 2021 net loss was largely attributable to the foreign exchange loss due to the depreciation of the South African Rand relative to the U.S. Dollar in Q4 2021 while in Q4 2020, the Rand had strengthened.

Net loss attributable to shareholders decreased to $1.2 million ($0.01 loss per share) in FY2021 compared to a loss of $8.0 million ($0.08 loss per share) in FY2020. The improvement during FY2021 is mainly attributable to the increased revenue and positive gross margins generated by remining and processing the Company's tailings resources at the Crocodile River Mine ("CRM") to produce chrome concentrate and platinum group metals ("PGM") concentrate, respectively; and a gain of $3.3 million to settle and dismiss certain outstanding lawsuits (see press release of June 21, 2021 for further information). The improvement was offset by increased care and maintenance costs due to a rise in labour and electricity costs in South Africa and work on the Zandfontein underground at the CRM.

The Company had positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $14.6 million as at December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – $4.1 million).

Operations

The Company continues its Retreatment Project at Barplats Mines (Pty) Limited's tailings facility located at the Company's CRM in South Africa.

Summary of chrome production for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Q4 2021	Q4 2020	FY2021	FY2020
Total Tailings Feed (Tons)	597,814	671,162	2,504,777	2,328,732
Average grade Cr concentrate	39.38%	38.46%	38.71%	38.56%
Tons of Cr concentrate	149,943	202,225	773,274	987,003

The majority of the Company's revenue (approximately 89% and 92% for Q4 2021 and FY2021, respectively) is generated from the offtake agreement with Union Goal Offshore Solution Limited ("Union Goal") in relation to chrome concentrate production from the Retreatment Project. The remaining amount of the Company's revenue was from PGM concentrate sales to Impala Platinum Limited ("Impala"). There were no PGM revenues generated during the comparable periods in 2020.

The completion of the reconfiguration and optimization of the small-scale PGM circuit ("PGM Circuit D") in Q1 2021 continued to successfully utilize the feed, following the recovery of chrome concentrate, to produce PGM concentrate under the respective offtake agreements in Q4 2021. Refurbishment work commenced on the PGM main plant circuit ("PGM Main Circuit B") during April 2021 and the circuit was commissioned in October 2021 (see press release of October 29, 2021 for further information). PGM Circuit D and PGM Main Circuit B (collectively, the "PGM Circuits") are both operating, which continue to drive revenue growth and gross margin improvement for the Company.

Summary of PGM production for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021:

	Q4 2021	Q4 2020	FY2021	FY2020
Tons of PGM concentrate	905	32	1,853	32

During the year, the Company continued work to close the Maroelabult resource project sale with Eland Platinum (Pty) Limited. Eastplats announced the completion of the sale (see press release of March 22, 2022 for further information). Total cash consideration of R20 million (approximately $1.3 million) was received on March 9, 2022 after the transfer of legal title and various regulatory obligations required in South Africa were completed.

Diana Hu, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Eastplats commented, "We continue to be encouraged by the positive results as the Company's revenue growth and profitability improves from the Retreatment Project and PGM capacity increases from the PGM circuits. We have initiated efforts to raise funds to restart the Zandfontein underground operations at the Crocodile River Mine and if successful, look forward to the opportunity to generate additional revenue streams for the Company."

Outlook

The Company's targets for 2022 are as follows:

Covid-19

There were no changes to the alert levels in South Africa, and they remain at alert level 1 regarding COVID-19. The Company continues to follow the health guidelines of the Government of South Africa. The chrome and PGM production and delivery remains in full operation. The effects of COVID-19 are uncertain and the consequences of a further increase in the alert level in South Africa, temporary shutdown of any operations or other related issues cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but could potentially have material adverse effects on the Company's business, operations, liquidity and cashflows.

About Eastern Platinum Limited

Operations at the Crocodile River Mine currently include re-mining and processing its tailings resource to produce PGM and chrome concentrates from the Barplats Zandfontein tailings dam.

Canada Carbon Inc.

TORONTO, March 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canada Carbon Inc. (the "Company" or "Canada Carbon" or "CCB") (TSX-V:CCB), (OTC: BRUZF), (FF:U7N1) is pleased to announce its first assay results from the rock samples taken as part the 2021 geochemical survey on its Asbury Property (the “Property”) (see news release dated July 21st, 2021). Canada Carbon’s objective was to investigate identified conductors located on the Property to see if they could be explained by graphitic mineralization.

This survey confirmed that all of the tested conductors bear graphite mineralization (Figure 1), while multiple conductors are still to be tested. The confirmed conductors are between 350 and 1,075 metres in length. The 1,075-metre-long conductor contained a grab sample that graded 21.5% Cg and is located in the Northeast section of the Property. This sample is near a potential folding of the graphitic mineralization, which could increase its thickness and provide considerable size. The interpreted fold is also located near the MC-8805 showing, which returned 8.14% Cg over 18.9 metres (St-Pierre, 1988). Historic grab samples in the vicinity of the showing returned 2.67%Cg and 2.31%Cg (Mathieu & Lafrance, 2013). Approximately 250 metres Northeast of the mentioned fold are located two grab samples containing 5.85% Cg and 18.8% Cg.

Only 30% of the conductors have been tested. Those located along the VTEM anomalies are a prime target for the next exploration survey which will consist of trenching and channel sampling along multiple conductors to better define their thickness and volume. Additionally, a ground TDEM survey is already planned for Spring 2022 to cover the conductors. This will better define their location while also defining the areas where the conductors are closest to surface. This, in turn, will allow the Company to optimize a program to efficiently trench the targets.

Chief Executive Officer, Ellerton Castor, said: “The Asbury results are very encouraging. Limited surface exploration work allowed us to better define the potential of the Property with the discovery of high-grade graphite mineralization. We are excited to plan a trenching program that will reveal additional bedrock to our technical team, which will allow us to better investigate the multiple conductors on the Property. We are comforted by the fact that all conductors tested so far, were caused by graphitic mineralization. The Company will also plan bulk samples for the purpose of metallurgical testing to verify that the graphite quality is suitable for commercial usage. It is important to note that the graphite output from the historical Asbury Mine was located in the same geological unit, on the Property. A meeting with the Notre-Dame-du-Laus municipality has already been scheduled to discuss the results and outline our next steps.

Advancing our development plan for the Asbury property is critical to the Company’s core strategic objectives: 1) continue our focus on the nuclear graphite product in order to leverage the innate purity of the Miller Deposit; 2) demonstrate our ability to supply multiple verticals through a robust program of product qualification and metallurgical testing; and 3) provide security of supply to our potential clients through development of multiple deposits."

Mississauga, ON, Canada, Jan. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canada Carbon Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V: CCB) is pleased to announce that it has completed an extensive drilling program on its Miller Graphite Property (“the Miller Project”), located in Grenville Sur la Rouge, Quebec (“GSLR”). Drilling was conducted from November 28th, 2021 (see news release dated December 9, 2021) to December 21st, 2021.

The Company completed 3,005m of drilling in 32 holes (see figure 1) varying in depth between 30 and 178 metres. The meterage makes this program the largest drill campaign completed to-date on the Miller Property. The drilling was conducted by Downing Drilling from Calumet in GSLR. SL Exploration Inc, of Acton Vale provided the geologists and technicians to complete the program. Core logging and sampling is expected to be completed in January 2022. Generally, samples are taken at 1.5-meter intervals throughout the core and will be analyzed for graphitic carbon (Cg) content by an independent laboratory.

Figure 1: 2021 Drill collars

Following assaying, the results will be used to update the resource statement on the Miller Property and to supply additional information to the CPTAQ regarding the future placement of the pits, and their specific impact on the environment. The information will also be used throughout the permitting stage of the Miller Project, including the permitting process for the Ministry of Environment and Fight against Climate Change (MELCC), the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MERN) and during the consultation process with the citizens of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge (GSLR) and the Argenteuil MRC.

Chief Executive Officer, Ellerton Castor, said: “This is a significant milestone for the Company and we eagerly await results of the ongoing analysis. We expect that an expanded resource will enhance the economics of the Miller Deposit, facilitate our current efforts with certain regulatory bodies and continue to inform and shape the Company’s commercialization strategy."

QA/QC

The drilling program was focused on better defining and connecting the area located between the two high grade zones of the Project (VN3 area to the west and the VN6 area to the east). Approximately 10% of samples were inserted in the sampled assays by the Company. The QC/QC samples includes 2% of blank samples, 3% of standard samples and 5% of quarter-split duplicate samples, for a total of 10% QA/QC. Core samples were prepared by splitting core in half in 1.5m intervals while higher grade mineralization was sampled separately to better identify its grade.

PERTH, Australia, Dec. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wyloo Metals Pty Ltd (“Wyloo Metals”) has reached an agreement with the Board of Directors of Noront Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NOT, “Noront”), which has unanimously determined that the Wyloo Metals offer (the “Revised Wyloo Offer”) is superior to the offer previously made by BHP Western Mining Resources International Pty Ltd (“BHP”).

Pursuant to a statutory Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario), each Noront shareholder will be given the option of (i) continuing to participate in Noront’s unrealized potential by remaining as a shareholder, and (ii) accepting cash consideration of Cdn$1.10 per share for some or all of their shares.

Commenting on the Revised Wyloo Offer, Head of Wyloo Metals Luca Giacovazzi said he’s excited to invite shareholders to join Wyloo Metals in revitalising Noront under the leadership of a world-class Board of Directors led by Dr. Andrew Forrest AO, who led Fortescue Metals Group from a junior mining exploration company to one of the world’s largest mining companies with a market capitalisation of approximately A$60 billion.

“This is an exciting time to be an investor in future facing metal projects. Battery and hydrogen technologies are unleashing the full potential of renewable energy and the supply of critical metals simply isn’t keeping up. This is the greatest shift in the global economy since the industrial revolution.

The Ring of Fire is home to expansive deposits of these metals, making this a once-in-a-generation opportunity to be part of the green revolution. Working hand-in-hand with First Nation and regional partners, we’ll develop the Ring of Fire into one of Ontario’s great mineral districts that will be pivotal in the world’s transition to a lower carbon future.”

Luca Giacovazzi, Head of Wyloo Metals

KEY BENEFITS OF WYLOO METALS’ OFFER

True optionality for Noront shareholders

Rather than forcing an all-or-nothing outcome upon Noront shareholders, the Revised Wyloo Offer is a flexible proposal that allows shareholders to elect their preferred level of retained exposure to the immense future value of the Ring of Fire, while also providing an option to crystallize immediate cash value.

A superior offer price

Consideration of Cdn$1.10 in cash per share represents a 47% premium to the BHP offer of Cdn$0.75 in cash per share.

Greater deal certainty

Noront shareholders holding an aggregate of 10.3% of Noront’s common shares on a fully diluted basis, including certain Noront directors and senior management, will enter into lock-up agreements under which they agree to vote in support of the Plan of Arrangement. Together with Wyloo Metals, holders of 45.7% of Noront’s common shares on a fully diluted basis are supportive of the Revised Wyloo Offer.

Wyloo Metals does not intend to support any alternate offers for Noront. Without the support of Wyloo Metals’ 37.2% direct interest in Noront, a competing plan of arrangement cannot be successful, and a competing take-over bid will be unlikely to meet any minimum tender condition.

A world-class Board of Directors and re-energised strategy

Noront will be revitalized under the leadership of a new Board of Directors, featuring some of the world’s most experienced mining leaders. Under the stewardship of the new Board of Directors, Noront will be developed in respectful consultation with First Nation communities and regional stakeholders, with an unrelenting focus on sustainable development and generating local economic opportunity.

NEXT STEPS AND EXPECTED TIMING

Noront shareholders do not need to take any action.

The Wyloo Offer is subject to BHP’s right to match period of five business days. If BHP does not exercise its right to match, Wyloo Metals and Noront will immediately enter into an Arrangement Agreement.

Following this, Noront shareholders will be provided with information in advance of a Special Meeting of Shareholders to vote on the Plan of Arrangement and subsequently make their elections regarding the transaction consideration.

Completion of the Wyloo Offer, which will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, is expected to occur in March/April 2022.

ADVISORS

Wyloo Metals has engaged Maxit Capital LP to act as its financial advisor and McCarthy Tétrault LLP to act as its legal advisor. Shorecrest Group has also been engaged to act as Wyloo Metals’ strategic communications advisor and proxy solicitation and information agent.

Shareholders who do not make a Sale Election will retain their Common Shares following the closing of the Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wyloo Metals will have an option to acquire all of the Common Shares that it does not already own, directly or indirectly, for C$1.10 per Common Share – including those Common Shares not subject to a Sale Election – if less than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares are not subject to a Sale Election.

The consideration of C$1.10 in cash per share under the Wyloo Offer represents an approximate 358% premium to the unaffected closing price of the Common Shares on May 21, 2021 and an approximate 47% premium to the cash offer of C$0.75 per Common Share (the "BHP Offer") made by BHP Western Mining Resources International Pty Ltd ("BHP").

BHP Right to Match

Pursuant to the terms of the support agreement among Noront, BHP and BHP Lonsdale Investments Pty Ltd (the "Support Agreement"), upon the Company making a determination that a superior proposal has been received, BHP has the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of the BHP Offer. BHP has five business days from receiving notice of the superior proposal in accordance with the terms of the Support Agreement to negotiate with Noront, should BHP decide to do so, to amend the terms of the existing Support Agreement such that the Wyloo Offer is no longer considered by the Noront Board of Directors to be superior to the amended BHP offer.

If BHP does not exercise its right to match within the period provided for in the Support Agreement and Noront terminates the Support Agreement, or the Support Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms for any reason, then the Arrangement Agreement will be immediately entered into by the Company and Wyloo Metals.

If the Arrangement Agreement is going to be entered into, Wyloo Metals has also agreed to provide a loan to Noront of up to C$29.38 million (the "Wyloo Loan") to finance, among other things, the termination payment of C$17.78 million payable to BHP upon the termination of the Support Agreement, as well as other transaction related costs. The term of the Wyloo Loan will be 12 months from completion of the Wyloo Metals transaction, with interest of 5% per annum payable quarterly in either cash or common shares of Noront, at the option of Noront and subject to receiving shareholder approval for the payment of interest in common shares of Noront, and subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

It is expected that, if the Support Agreement is terminated, certain Noront shareholders, including Noront directors and senior management, will enter into lock-up agreements under which they will agree to vote in support of the Wyloo Offer. Wyloo Metals currently holds approximately 37.2% of the outstanding Common Shares (on a basic basis).

The terms of the Arrangement Agreement, if executed, will provide that Wyloo Metals will be entitled to a termination payment of C$26 million (equal to approximately 4% of the total equity value of the transaction based on 100% of Noront's fully diluted shares outstanding) if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances. This termination payment will not be payable if BHP elects to match the Wyloo Offer and Noront and Wyloo Metals therefore do not enter into the Arrangement Agreement.

There is no action for Noront shareholders to take today. If Noront enters into an Arrangement Agreement with Wyloo Metals, additional information will be provided to Noront shareholders in advance of a Special Meeting of Shareholders to vote on the plan of arrangement. The applicable materials will also be available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under Noront's issuer profile and on Noront's corporate website (www.norontresources.com).

The entering into of the Wyloo Loan between Wyloo Metals and Noront, is considered to be a "related party transaction" for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as Wyloo Metals has beneficial ownership of, and control or direction over, directly or indirectly, securities of the Company carrying more than 20% of the voting rights attached to all of Noront's outstanding voting securities. The Company did not file the material change report more than 21 days before the expected completion of the Wyloo Loan as the details of the Wyloo Loan were not settled until shortly prior to the announcement of the Wyloo Loan. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the Company is not listed on a specified market under MI 61-101. Additionally, the Company is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(f) of MI 61-101.

PERTH, Australia, Dec. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wyloo Metals Pty Ltd (“Wyloo Metals”) has today provided the board of Noront Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NOT) (“Noront”) with a letter outlining a further improved offer to acquire up to 100% of the shares in Noront that it does not already own for Cdn$1.10 per share (the “Revised Wyloo Offer”). This is 47% above the Cdn$0.75 per share offered under the take-over bid for Noront proposed by BHP Western Mining Resources International Pty Ltd (“BHP”).

The Revised Wyloo Offer is the only proposal to Noront shareholders that provides the following distinguishing features:

True optionality for Noront shareholders: Shareholders will be provided with an attractive option of (i) accepting cash consideration of Cdn$1.10 per share for some or all of their shares, and (ii) continuing to participate in Noront’s unrealized potential by remaining as a shareholder.

A superior offer price: The Revised Wyloo Offer represents a significantly superior price to that offered by BHP.
Greater deal certainty: Wyloo Metals does not intend to support any alternate offers for Noront. Without the support of Wyloo Metals’ 37.2% direct interest in Noront, a competing plan of arrangement cannot be successful, and a competing take-over bid will be unlikely to meet any minimum tender condition.
A world-class Board of Directors: Noront will be revitalized under the leadership of a new Board of Directors, led by Dr. Andrew Forrest AO.

The transaction will be effected via a statutory Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario).

Importantly, the Revised Wyloo Offer continues to provide those shareholders who believe in the long-term potential of Noront with the opportunity to participate in Noront’s continued growth by remaining as shareholders.

Update on discussions with BHP

Following an extensive period of discussion, Wyloo Metals and BHP have been unable to agree terms upon which Wyloo Metals would support a BHP offer for Noront. As outlined above, the Revised Wyloo Offer will deliver a superior outcome for Noront shareholders in terms of optionality, price and deal certainty.

Next steps

Wyloo Metals is confident that, after considering the Revised Wyloo Offer, the Noront Board will agree that:

the terms of the Revised Wyloo Offer are clearly financially superior and also provide greater optionality to Noront’s shareholders than the take-over bid proposed by BHP;
the Revised Wyloo Offer has a greater certainty of success than the take-over bid proposed by BHP; and
the Revised Wyloo Offer would reasonably be expected to constitute a “Superior Proposal” under the terms of the support agreement between Noront and BHP.

Wyloo Metals notes that its ability to formalize the Revised Wyloo Offer is subject to the Noront Board’s timely and good faith negotiation of an Arrangement Agreement in line with its fiduciary duties. Given Wyloo Metals and Noront recently agreed the form of such an Arrangement Agreement, Wyloo Metals believes that the Revised Wyloo Offer can be formalized on an expedited basis.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 28, 2021 / Eastern Platinum Limited (TSX:ELR): The full report can be accessed by clicking on the following link: http://stonegateinc.com/reports/ELR Initiation.pdf

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Eastern Platinum Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the mining, exploration, and development of platinum group metal (PGM) and chrome properties in South Africa. The Company's PGM deposits include platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium. The Company has four properties that include its principal asset the Crocodile River Mine ("CRM"), the Kennedy's Vale project, the Mareesburg project, and the Spitzkop project. Currently, the Crocodile River Mine is generating revenue via its chrome and PGM productions by processing the CRM tailings resources. All projects are in South Africa, with the Company headquartered in Vancouver, BC Canada.

SUMMARY

Recent transition from care & maintenance to revenue generation – The Company started to generate revenue from its Retreatment Project in December 2018. This comes after the Company's operations were placed in care and maintenance: CRM in 2013 and Mareesburg, Kennedy's Vale, and Spitzkop in 2012. The Retreatment Project is at the Crocodile River Mine and includes a combined hydro and mechanical re-mining method of prior tailings to produce chrome concentrates. During 2019, the Company ramped up its production and produced 588,006 tons of chrome concentrate followed by 987,003 in F20 and 427,389 for the YTD Q2 2021 period. The Retreatment Project is expected to continue until 2024.
PGM revenue stream online in early F21 – During 2020, the Company completed the refurbishment of a small-scale PGM circuit, referred to as "PGM Circuit D." Operations began in Q4 2020 by processing parts of feed from chrome tails. Following further optimization in Q1 2021, Circuit D produces approximately 200 tons of PGMs per month from April onwards. PGM Main Circuit B is expected to commission in October 2021. The Company estimates Circuit B can add around 600 tons of PGM concentrate per month to production for a total of 800 tons of PGM concentrate per month by Q1 2022.
Potential restart of underground mining – While the Crocodile River underground mine has remained in care and maintenance since 2013, the Company is looking to re-open the mine. Long-term planning and mine design studies are underway and are expected to be completed in Q4 2021. Results are expected to help the Company determine the timing of the mine re-opening. Importantly, the mine is fully permitted and has a mine life of 27 years.
Additional opportunities in the pipeline – The Company believes the Mareesburg deposit could support a mine that could be placed into production relatively quickly and with a relatively low capital cost. Lastly, the Company has Kennedy's Vale and the Spitzkop project, which are early stage, exploration opportunities.
Liquidity to help fund expansion plans – Eastern Platinum raised CDN$11.8M in January 2021 via a rights offering. Importantly, the funding helped support current and future capital projects that include the optimization of the PGM Circuit, mine design and long-term mining plan for underground mining at the Crocodile River Mine, along with other development opportunities. Additionally, the Company is expecting its Maroelabult property sales to close in Q4 2021 and raise ~ US$1.4M.
Valuation – On an enterprise value to resources basis, Eastern Platinum trades at a significant discount to other platinum mining and exploration companies. With current revenue generation from its retreatment project expected to continue to ~2024, an expected ramp-up in PGM revenue in 2021, along with the potential to restart the Crocodile River underground mine in the near future, we would expect some of the discount to diminish.

(TSXV: ILC) (the "Company" or "ILC"), is pleased to announce the further expansion of its Raleigh Lake lithium and rubidium project in Ontario, Canada where it now has claims totalling 27,000 hectares (270 square kilometres), an increase of 10,000 hectares from the previously announced 17,000 hectares and from 3,000 hectares when ILC's drilling began in April 2021. At the same time the Company and its partner Essential Metals Limited (ASX:ESS, "ESS") have announced their divestment of 100% of the Mavis Lake Project in Ontario through the granting of an option to Critical Resources Limited (ASX:CRR).

Further detailed announcements will be made in respect of Raleigh Lake and the neighbouring new claims, but we can disclose now that multiple new pegmatites were discovered in October 2021 including on some of the new claims. We will make further announcements when laboratory analysis has been carried out. The board remains excited about the potential of this project.

The Mavis Lake sale will, if the option is exercised, realise AUD$ 3.2m in cash & shares (approx. CAD$ 2.952m at an exchange rate of CAD$=AUD$ 1.0840) with a possible further AUD$ 3.0m (CAD$ 2.768m) of cash linked to resource discovery milestones. ILC will, on option exercise, receive exactly 50% of these proceeds, i.e. approximately CAD$ 1.476m with a possible further CAD $1.384m linked to resource discovery milestones.

Key transaction details of the sale of Mavis Lake (including Fairservice) are as follows:

a) Critical Resources will pay AUD$ 175,000 to purchase the option to acquire the Project with the option exercisable by 4 January 2022 upon completion of due diligence and the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent. Upon exercising the option, Critical Resources will pay/issue the following:

AUD$1,500,000 cash; and
68 million shares in Critical Resources at a price of AUD$ 0.022 per share (with a deemed value of AUD$ 1.5 million).

b) ESS and ILC will share the proceeds equally. ESS will, if the option is exercised, give up its rights to acquire a further 29% of the project, while ILC will also give up its 1.5% NSR.

c) In addition, milestone payments totalling AUD$3.0 million will be payable on the definition of a lithium resource as follows

AUD$1.5m on definition of a mineral resource estimate exceeding 5m tonnes of which at least 50,000 tonnes of Li₂O using a cut-off grade of 0.4%.
A further AUD$ 1.5m on definition of a resource exceeding 10m tonnes of which at least 100,000 tonnes of Li₂O using a cut-off grade of 0.4% or, in case both milestones are defined at the same time, AUD$3.0m in total.

ESS and ILC will share the proceeds equally.

d) If CRR were to complete its purchase but then sell or joint venture the Mavis Lake claims in future, then any further milestone payment obligations would pass to any future owner of the claims.

e) ILC and ESS will have a right of first refusal to buy the claims back if CRR had not achieved and made additional payment for the first additional payment milestone.

Mavis Lake is a joint venture with Essential Metals Limited (ASX:ESS, "ESS")) in which ILC has for the last three years owned 49% and ESS 51%, with ILC having an additional 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty. The Mavis Lake claims and mining leases are around 2,600 hectares. By spending CAD$ 8.5m, ESS would have acquired the right to increase its stake in Mavis Lake to 80%. It seemed unlikely that ESS were going to prioritise this spending in the near future, preferring to focus on their Australian projects, and therefore the two parties looked at other strategic options, including ILC buying ESS out as it had the right to do. Critical Resources Ltd. (ASX:CRR) emerged as the preferred buyer.

John Wisbey, Chairman and CEO of International Lithium Corp. commented:

We have a strong commitment to growing our position in the lithium and rare metals market, so it is ironic that we are announcing our second disposal in a week – Mavis Lake optioned out, and our stake in Mariana sold. We are however at the same time increasing our claims in Ontario appreciably at Raleigh Lake and the wider Ignace area where we have now increased the size of our claims to 27,000 hectares. Many new pegmatites have recently been revealed at these claims and we will be doing a lot of further exploration and drilling to validate the scale of our discovery there over the next few months. Focus is important, and we decided that it was better for ILC to concentrate its efforts in Ontario on our key and wholly owned project there Raleigh Lake rather than also paying to regain 100% of Mavis Lake.

About International Lithium Corp.

International Lithium Corp. believes that the '20s will be the decade of battery metals, at a time that the world faces a significant turning point in the energy market's dependence on oil and gas and in the governmental and public view of climate change. Our key mission in this decade is to make money for our shareholders from lithium and rare metals while at the same time helping to create a greener, cleaner planet. This includes optimizing the value of our existing projects in Canada and Ireland as well as finding, exploring and developing projects that have the potential to become world class lithium and rare metal deposits. In addition, we have seen the clear and growing wish by the USA and Canada to safeguard their supplies of critical battery metals, and our Canadian Raleigh Lake property is strategic in that respect.

A key goal has been to become a well funded company to turn our aspirations into reality, and following the disposal of the Mariana project in Argentina in 2021, the Board of the Company believe that ILC is already well placed in that respect. The disposal of Mavis Lake, assuming the option is exercised as planned, will add useful further liquidity.

International Lithium Corp. has a significant portfolio of projects, strong management, and strong partners. Partners include Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., ("Ganfeng Lithium") a leading China-based lithium product manufacturer quoted on the Shenzhen and Hong Kong stock exchanges (A share code: 002460, H share code: 1772) and Essential Metals Limited, quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX:ESS).

The Company's primary strategic focus is now on the Raleigh Lake lithium and rubidium project in Canada and on identifying additional properties.

The Raleigh Lake project now consists of 27,000 hectares (270 square kilometres) of adjoining mineral claims in Ontario, and is regarded by ILC management as ILC's most significant project in Canada. The exploration results there so far, which are on only about 5% of ILC's current claims, has shown significant quantities of rubidium and caesium in the pegmatite as well as lithium. Raleigh Lake is 100% owned by ILC, is not subject to any encumbrances, and is royalty free.

Complementing the Company's rare metal pegmatite property at Raleigh Lake, are interests in two other rare metal pegmatite properties in Ontario, Canada known as the Mavis Lake and Forgan Lake projects, and the Avalonia project in Ireland, which encompasses an extensive 50-km-long pegmatite belt.

The ownership of the Mavis Lake project is currently 51% Essential Metals Limited (ASX: ESS, "ESS") and 49% ILC. In addition, ILC owns a 1.5% NSR on Mavis Lake. ESS has an option to earn an additional 29% by sole-funding a further CAD $8.5 million expenditures of exploration activities, at which time the ownership will be 80% ESS and 20% ILC. Mavis Lake is now under option until January 2022 to Critical Resources Ltd. (ASX:CRR) to buy 100% at which point ILC's NSR would also be surrendered. If exercised, that option will bring the Company approximately CAD$1.4m of cash and shares in CRR, with upto a further CAD$1.4m if certain resource targets are achieved by CRR. If CRR were to complete its purchase but then sell or joint venture the Mavis Lake claims in future, this further payment obligation would pass to any future owner of the claims. ILC and ESS would have a right of first refusal to buy the claims back if CRR had not achieved and made additional payment for the first additional payment milestone.

The Forgan Lake project will, upon Ultra Resources Inc. meeting its contractual requirements pursuant to its agreement with ILC, become 100% owned by Ultra Resources (TSXV: ULT), and ILC will retain a 1.5% NSR on Forgan Lake.

The ownership of the Avalonia project is currently 55% Ganfeng Lithium and 45% ILC. Ganfeng Lithium has an option to earn an additional 24% by either incurring CAD $ 10 million expenditures on exploration activities by September 2024 or delivering a positive feasibility study on the project, at which time the ownership will be 79% Ganfeng Lithium and 21% ILC. In the event that ILC does not contribute to the project after that, and its share consequently falls below 10% of the project, its share will be substituted by a 1% NSR.

With the increasing demand for high tech rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles and electrical storage as well as portable electronics, lithium has been designated "the new oil", and is a key part of a "green tech" sustainable economy. By positioning itself with projects with significant resource potential and with solid strategic partners, ILC aims to be one of the lithium and rare metals resource developers of choice for investors and to continue to build value for its shareholders in the '20s, the decade of battery metals.
