Maxim Power Corp. Announces that it has Closed the Sale of Summit Coal
CALGARY, Alberta, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Maxim Power Corp. ('MAXIM' or the 'Corporation') (TSX: MXG) announces today that it has closed the previously announced sale of 100% of its interest in its wholly-owned subsidiaries Summit Coal Limited Partnership and Summit Coal Inc. (collectively 'Summit') to Valory Resources Inc. ('Valory') for $14.2 million, consisting of $10.2 million of cash and $4.0 million of equity securities in the form of a 15% interest bearing note convertible into Valory common shares (the 'Convertible Note').
The Convertible Note matures on April 29, 2027, and is convertible at MAXIM's election into common shares of Valory upon a convertible event, being a sale, equity raise or maturity and converts at a 30% discount to the corresponding share valuation at the event. Summit was sold with $2.2 million of restricted cash, resulting in net cash proceeds to MAXIM of $8.0 million. The Convertible Note may be redeemed by Valory at any time.
On April 29, 2025, MAXIM and Summit entered into an agreement such that MAXIM will receive a 3% royalty on any raw coal volume produced from the coal leases currently owned by Summit, including any volumes from Summit's Mine 14 project. The royalty will be calculated using a Premium Low Vol Hard Coking Coal benchmark and will be paid in United States dollars. The amount and timing of any royalty payments is contingent on the commencement of production and there is no certainty as to if, or when, production may begin.
Additionally on April 29, 2025, MAXIM, through it's wholly-owned subsidiary Milner Power Inc. ('Milner'), entered into a ground lease at the Milner site, with a nominee of Valory, to allow for construction and operation of a coal processing facility. The term of the ground lease is twelve years commencing on April 29, 2025, however, it is subject to automatic termination if the coal processing facility has not been substantially completed within two years. Lease payments to Milner consist of both a prorated annual $2.1 million fixed payment and a variable throughput payment subject to coal being processed through the leased lands. The variable throughput payment has the potential to be substantial if coal is processed through the leased lands at the Milner site; however, at this time, there is no certainty as to if, or when, the coal processing facility construction will be commenced or completed and coal processed. Accordingly, MAXIM may not realize the benefits of the variable throughput payment. Both the fixed lease payment and variable throughput payment is adjusted for inflation. The first-year pro-rated fixed payment of approximately $1.4 million was received by Milner on April 29, 2025. An updated copy of the ground lease with the full terms and conditions will be available on SEDAR+.

NexGen Announces Regulatory Approval of 2025 Site Program at Rook I Property
2025 Program includes a temporary exploration airstrip, expansion of exploration camp facilities and site access road improvements. Patterson Corridor East ("PCE") discovery is expanding rapidly and the 2025 Program will optimize this growth. Incorporating NexGen's longstanding approach, the 2025 Program will prioritize and maximize local business opportunities. Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 12, 2025) - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG) ("NexGen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment has granted approval for NexGen's 2025 Site Program (the "Program") at its 100%-owned Rook I Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The Program includes the establishment of a temporary exploration airstrip, expansion of the exploration accommodation camp facilities by 373 beds and site access road improvements. The Program will commence in the coming weeks and conclude with camp commissioning in Q1 2026. This program builds on NexGen's disciplined, strategic approach to implementing infrastructure enhancements required to support the Company's exploration programs at PCE and that forecast across NexGen's dominant land package in northwestern Saskatchewan into the future. The drill results of high-grade basement hosted mineralization discovered at PCE 3.5km east from the Arrow deposit indicate another significant scale zone "Arrow style" of mineralization is materializing and warrant these infrastructure enhancements incorporating best practice safety and environmental principles. Incorporating NexGen's longstanding approach to economic capacity building, the Program will prioritize Local Priority Area participation, generating new employment and contracting opportunities for Indigenous and community members, reflecting NexGen's industry leading and genuine approach to local communities. Leigh Curyer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The 2025 Site Program marks an exciting strategic milestone for our current and future activities, with key infrastructure improvements that will optimize safety, environmental protection, and efficiency for our people and our programs. These infrastructure enhancements create the conditions for a high-performing operational platform capable of fully evaluating the significant resource potential across our Rook I Property. This Program is a direct reflection of NexGen's proactive approach to responsible resource development, elite planning and demonstrates our continued commitment to building lasting value while creating meaningful opportunities for local Indigenous and community members." The Honourable Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe, commented: "I congratulate and thank NexGen for their major investment in Saskatchewan to date. The Rook I Project is one of the most significant projects across the country and we are keen to see it prioritized by the Government of Canada accordingly. Our government is proud to approve these infrastructure activities which are well within our jurisdiction and that are scheduled to commence imminently. NexGen is an example of strategically delivering a generational opportunity for Saskatchewan to become the world's leader in the mining of uranium, and I look forward to working with newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney to expedite the final Federal approval of this generational opportunity for Saskatchewan and Canada." 2025 Site Program Overview Temporary Exploration Airstrip Establishment of a gravel exploration airstrip (<1,000m) on the Rook I Property to enhance health and safety of workers and accommodate an increase in the regional exploration program, augmenting emergency response capabilities and human and environmental protection through the reduction of vehicular transportation of personnel to site. Expansion of Temporary Exploration Camp Facilities Engineering, procurement, and installation of hard-walled modular facilities to accommodate 373 additional beds, ensuring the site can house and service the expanded technical teams and specialized personnel as exploration activities intensify. Site Access Improvements Improvements to the 13 km Rook I access road to enhance overall worker and equipment safety, including widening the road surface to allow for safe, two-way traffic flow. Enhanced road base construction to support increased frequency of supply deliveries and specialized exploration equipment. NexGen has the most significant land position in Saskatchewan's southwest Athabasca Basin, where it holds over 190,000 hectares. From an exploration perspective, the Company is currently focused on the continued material growth of mineralization at PCE - located just 3.5 km east of the world-class Arrow Deposit. Planning is already underway for potential future programs at PCE as the balance of the 2025 drilling program is preparing to recommence in June.

Osisko Metals Intersects 0.33% Cu Over 258 Metres at Gaspé
Includes 15.6 Metres Averaging 1.47% Cu and 8.5 g/t Ag E Zone Skarn Returns 29.7 Metres Averaging 1.92% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag Infill Drilling Continues to Extend Deposit at Depth Below 2024 MRE MONTREAL, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Metals Incorporated (the 'Company or 'Osisko Metals') ( TSX-V: OM ; OTCQX: OMZNF ; FRANKFURT: 0B51 ) is pleased to announce new drilling results from the 2025 drilling program at the Gaspé Copper Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula of Eastern Québec. Results for eight new holes are reported below, located at the southern end of the deposit defined in the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE', see attached map and November 14, 2024 news release ). Highlights (see Table 1 below): Table 1: Drill hole mineralized intervals, see attached map for drill hole locations. Drill hole 30-1073 was drilled to the east of the 2024 MRE limit and did not intersect significant mineralization. Previously reported drill holes 30-1062 and 30-1066 were also collared to the southeast and to the east, respectively, of the 2024 MRE limit and these holes also failed to intersect significant mineralization, indicating that the deposit does not extend towards the east. The deposit remains open to the south and southwest. All holes were drilled sub-vertically into the altered calcareous stratigraphy which dips 20 to 25 degrees to the north; true widths are estimated at 90-92% of reported widths. The L1 (C Zone) the L2 (E Zone) skarn/marble horizons were intersected in most holes, as well as intervening porcellanites (pale green to white potassic-altered hornfels) that host the bulk of the disseminated copper mineralization. The November 2024 MRE was limited at depth to the base of the L1 skarn horizon (C Zone), and all mineralized intersections below this horizon represent potential depth extensions to the deposit, to be included in the next scheduled MRE update in Q1 2026. Mineralization occurs as disseminations and veinlets of chalcopyrite and is mostly stratigraphically controlled in the area of Needle Mountain, Needle East and Copper Brook. As expected, no significant molybdenum mineralization was encountered in porcellanites in the latter areas, but high grades (up to 0.4% Mo) were locally obtained in both the C Zone and E Zone skarns. The bulk of the molybdenum mineralization occurs in veinlet stockworks further north at Copper Mountain, where true porphyry copper-style mineralization occurs, forming a distinct secondary mineralized zone that is characterized by widespread, continuous copper-molybdenum stockwork mineralization radiating from the central source of hydrothermal fluids, i.e. the Copper Mountain porphyry intrusion. At least five vein/stockwork mineralizing events have been recognized at Copper Mountain, which overprint earlier skarn/porcellanite-hosted mineralization throughout the Gaspé Copper system. The 2022 to 2024 Osisko Metals drill programs were focused on defining open-pit resources within the Copper Mountain stockwork mineralization, leading to the May 2024 MRE (see May 6, 2024 press release). Extending the resource model south of Copper Mountain into the poorly-drilled primary skarn/porcellanite portion of the system subsequently led to a significantly increased resource, mostly in the Inferred category (see November 14, 2024 press release). The current drill program is designed to convert the November 2024 MRE to Measured and Indicated categories, as well as test the extension of the system deeper into the stratigraphy and laterally to the south and southwest towards Needle East and Needle Mountain respectively. Qualified Person Mr. Bernard-Olivier Martel, P. Geo. is the Independent Qualified Person responsible for the technical data reported in this news release and he is a Professional Geologist registered in the Province of Quebec. Quality Assurance / Quality Control Mineralized intervals reported herein are calculated using an average 0.12% copper lower cut-off over contiguous 20-metre intersections (shorter intervals as the case may be at the upper and lower limits of reported intervals). Intervals of 20 metres or less are not reported unless indicating significantly higher grades. Osisko Metals adheres to a strict QA/QC program for core handling, sampling, sample transportation and analyses, including insertion of blanks and standards in the sample stream. Drill core is drilled in HQ or NQ diameter and securely transported to its core processing facility on site, where it is logged, cut and sampled. Samples selected for assay are sealed and shipped to ALS Canada Ltd.'s preparation facility in Sudbury. Sample preparation details (code PREP-31DH) are available on the ALS Canada website. Pulps are analyzed at the ALS Canada Ltd. facility in North Vancouver, BC. All samples are analyzed by four acid digestion followed by both ICP-AES and ICP-MS for copper, molybdenum and silver. About Osisko Metals Osisko Metals Incorporated is a Canadian exploration and development company creating value in the critical metals sector, with a focus on copper and zinc. The Company acquired a 100% interest in the past-producing Gaspé Copper mine from Glencore Canada Corporation in July 2023.
