Critical One Makes Strategic Uranium Asset Divestment
TORONTO, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critical One Energy Inc. (formerly Madison Metals Inc.) ('Critical One' or the 'Company') (CSE: CRTL) (OTCQB: MMTLF) (FSE: 4EF0) is pleased to announce that Dark Star Minerals Inc. ('Dark Star') (CSE: BATT) (FSE: P0W), a well-managed, uranium-focused, publicly-listed company, has entered into an acquisition agreement with Critical One to acquire 100% of its interests in the Khan and Cobra Uranium Projects, located in Namibia's highly prospective Erongo uranium province. 'Divesting the Company's uranium assets and focusing on the Howells Lake Antimony-Gold Project ('Howells Lake Project') enhances our shareholder value by strategically refining the Company's critical metals and minerals mission,' said Duane Parnham, Executive Chairman and CEO of Critical One. 'I believe this shift in our critical metals strategy aligns with global market trends driven by the energy transition, and will offer higher growth potential and improved returns. Howell Lake's antimony deposits allow us to capitalize on the rapidly growing demand for these critical metals. Plus, the project provides gold exploration upside in a period when the yellow metal's value is reaching all-time market highs.' Parnham added, 'By forming this alliance with Dark Star, our investment in uranium continues to have great potential. This divestiture allows Critical One to focus on its capital allocation on high-margin, high-demand critical minerals, thereby optimizing our portfolio for long-term profitability, reducing exposure to market risks, and strengthening our competitive position in a future-focused industry, ultimately driving sustainable value creation for shareholders.' Under the terms of the letters of intent agreement ('LOI'), Dark Star has the opportunity to acquire all of Critical One's interest in the Khan and Cobra Uranium Projects through staged cash payments and issuances of common shares to the Company over a two-year period. No fairness opinion or independent valuation of the uranium assets was sought by Critical One or Dark Star for this agreement. A summary of terms for the LOI is provided below, concurrently issued in the Dark Star news release dated June 12, 2025. Payment Date Cash Payment Amount Securities Issuance On the date of execution of this LOI (the 'LOI Execution Date') US$10,000 - Upon the later of: (a) the date that is five days of the LOI Execution Date; and (b) receipt of Exchange approval for the LOI - 200,000 common shares (each, a 'Share') of Dark Star Upon the execution of the Definitive Agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement Execution Date') US$150,000 14,000,000 Dark Star Shares On or before the date that is four (4) months from the Definitive Agreement Execution Date US$100,000 - On or before first anniversary of the Definitive Agreement Execution Date US$250,000 US$1,000,000 in Dark Star Shares On or before second anniversary of the Definitive Agreement Execution Date US$250,000 US$750,000 in Dark Star Shares Total: US$760,000 Once the staged cash and share issuances reach a combined value above US$3.5 million (as outlined in the table), Critical One will be granted a 2% gross overriding royalty on all metals produced from the two uranium projects. Upon signing of the LOI, Critical One received US$10,000 in cash and was issued 200,000 common shares of Dark Star, priced at CDN$0.075 at close of business on June 11, 2025. This will be followed by subsequent cash and common share payments in accordance with a definitive agreement to be signed within 60 days. The definitive agreement will be subject to the approval of the usual regulatory approvals. About Critical One Energy Inc. Critical One Energy Inc. (formerly Madison Metals Inc.) is a forward-focused critical minerals and upstream energy company, powering the future of clean energy and advanced technologies.

Nuveen Australian Real Estate Debt Strategy Reaches A$650 Million with CPP Investments Commitment
SYDNEY, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Nuveen, one of the largest asset managers globally with over US$1.3 trillion AUM*, has reached second close of its commingled Australian commercial real estate debt strategy with commitments of over A$650 million. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), through its subsidiary CPPIB Credit Investments Inc., invested A$300 million, joining Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) and Temasek as strategic partners of Nuveen for this strategy. Total AUM are expected to exceed A$1 billion including capital approved for co-investments. The strategy is already more than 40% deployed via committed loan investments focusing on institutional senior and junior loans secured by prime real estate in Australia. Preferred sectors for the strategy are industrial / logistics and residential, with a selective approach to retail, office and alternatives across major cities in Australia. The strategy leverages both Nuveen Real Estate's global debt platform, which currently has over 55 dedicated specialists, and the team of more than 60 at Nuveen Real Estate in Asia. The strategy is led by Dugald Marr, Nuveen's Head of Debt Australia and New Zealand, and the support of an experienced team with a long track record of originating and structuring high-quality loan investments in this market. Investments are also aligned to Nuveen Real Estate's comprehensive responsible investment processes and ESG factor analysis. This includes waste reduction and energy consumption, climate risk analysis and social aspects with the ability to structure Green Loans or Sustainable Linked Loans where applicable to incentivise ESG targets on behalf of clients. The investment comes at a time when Australian commercial real estate debt offers the potential for a compelling blend of stability, attractive yields, and strong collateral protection, all of which are increasingly important to investors concerned about global volatility. Australia's mature market, supported by robust economic foundations, strict regulatory requirements for banks and the need for more alternative capital sources provides a good foundation for long-term investment in this space. The strategy will continue to focus on repeat institutional borrowers, conservative lending parameters and prime assets in sectors that benefit most from Australia's high population growth and limited supply. Andrew Kleinig, Head of Australia and the Global Client Group for South East Asia at Nuveen, said: "This is another milestone for the strategy. With CPP Investments' commitment, we will continue our focus on strategic, in-depth partnerships with the highest calibre of investors. We are excited to work with a like-minded partner who also shares a high conviction on the asset class. CPP Investments has provided significant value-add as a strategic investor, ensuring long-term success and growth of the partnership. It showcases Nuveen's pedigree in real estate investment and our ability to bring regionally tailored solutions across both equity and debt platforms. We believe Nuveen's offering across real assets more broadly is well-positioned to help clients across Asia navigate volatility alongside managing their responsible investment goals." Raymond Chan, Managing Director & Head of APAC Credit at CPP Investments, said: "Australia is one of our key markets in Asia Pacific and this transaction marks an important milestone for our credit strategy in the region. The investment builds upon our extensive market research and insights from our successful investments in Australia. Leveraging Nuveen's strong local network and capabilities, this partnership enables us to tap into attractive real estate debt investments in Australia and further augment our credit program in the region. These opportunities offer stability and attractive yields amid global volatility, contributing to long-term returns for the CPP Fund." *Top 20 largest global asset manager based on Pensions & Investments, 12 Jun 2023.
