Imperial Reports Mount Polley Operations and Construction Activities Continue

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imperial Metals Corporation ('Imperial') (TSX:III) notes that a number of third parties, including news agencies, have incorrectly reported that an injunction was granted in respect of the construction and operation of the tailings storage facility at Imperial's Mount Polley mine. Imperial confirms that no such injunction was granted. Normal operations of the mine and construction of a four-metre raise of the tailings storage facility will continue.
On May 8, 2025, Mr. Justice Weatherill of the Supreme Court of British Columbia heard an application for an interim injunction from Xatśūll First Nation regarding the decision to approve the aforementioned four-metre raise of the tailings storage facility. The Court adjourned the application until June 24, 2025 when both the underlying petition challenging the decision and the injunction will be heard and decided. Mount Polley Mining Corporation, Imperial's wholly-owned subsidiary, made clear at the hearing that although it continues with previously permitted use of the tailings storage facility, it did not anticipate needing to use the four-metre raise currently under construction until July 1, 2025 at the earliest, and agreed to provide an undertaking to the Court to that effect.
The result of yesterday's hearing was that the matter would be heard in June, 2025 and no injunction was issued.

Rising concerns over U.S. move to broaden products subject to metal tariffs

TORONTO — There's growing concern about a move by the United States to make hundreds more product categories subject to the country's 50 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum content. The addition of 407 categories, ranging from bulldozers to furniture, came into effect earlier this week to add pressure and costs to those hoping to sell into the U.S. market. Catherine Cobden, head of the Canadian Steel Producers Association says the move is another blow to the integrated Canada-U.S. economy and will impact the manufacturing of steel-containing products in Canada destined for the United States. She says products like cutlery, propane tanks, air conditioners, agricultural equipment like tractors and many more now face the additional tariffs on their metal content. Cobden says in the statement issued Thursday that Canada should retaliate with a 50 per cent tariff on all U.S. steel entering Canada, including ending an "ill-advised" April reprieve on U.S. steel used in manufacturing and processing. On Wednesday, Hamilton, Ont., mayor Andrea Horwath said Trump's latest "underhanded move to quietly expand U.S. tariffs" is devastating for the city, adding she's reached out to both the provincial and federal governments to push them to act.
