Canter Resources Provides Corporate Updates and Comments on Potential Impact of Tariffs on Lithium and Boron Markets
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 10, 2025) - Canter Resources Corp. (CSE: CRC) (OTC Pink: CNRCF) (FSE: 6O1) ("Canter" or the "Company") comments on the potential impact of tariffs on the lithium and boron markets and provides corporate updates.
With significant tariffs set to take effect across many industries, Canter is preparing for what it expects could be a significant impact on the importance of U.S. based critical metals exploration and development projects.
While tariffs and supply chain disruptions could drive up costs for downstream industries reliant on imported materials, these pressures may accelerate domestic investment in critical mineral projects, as seen with the recent nearly $1 billion U.S. Department of Energy funding package supporting Ioneer's Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project, located just 27 kilometres (17 miles) south of Canter's own Columbus Lithium-Boron Project in Nevada. Such projects are positioned to reduce reliance on imports and bolster national security by establishing a more self-sufficient supply chain for EV batteries and numerous other emerging technologies within the advanced computing, clean energy and defense sectors.
"Overall, trade wars create volatility and uncertainty in the market; however, they also highlight the strategic importance of domestic supply of critical materials like lithium and boron, potentially increasing their value and prioritization in U.S. policy and investment," commented CEO Joness Lang. "The environment we will be operating in for the foreseeable future is one that will aim to reduce reliance and dependence on imports from certain foreign sources, with domestic funding incentives to accelerate growth on the back of critical/strategic mineral discoveries. We believe our Columbus Project represents a significant opportunity to contribute to future domestic supply."
Notably, Ioneer Ltd. recently announced a significant increase in the mineral resource estimate (MRE) for Rhyolite Ridge (see Ioneer's news release dated March 5, 2025). The updated MRE emphasizes the flexibility of boron as a co-product, which can provide a steady revenue stream during periods of lower lithium prices. While Canter's Columbus Lithium-Boron Project is at an exploration-stage, it shares the same commodity mix and volcanic source rocks that feed Rhyolite Ridge (sediment hosted) and is located just 27 kilometres (17 miles) north.
Mineralization at nearby or adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the Company's Columbus Project.
Already considered a strategic mineral by the U.S. Department of Defense, boron is expected to be added to the USGS Critical Metals List in 2025. Its role as a critical material continues to grow, with market demand driven by its applications in agriculture, glass, ceramics, and emerging advanced technologies such as semiconductors, electric vehicles, clean energy (solar, wind turbines, nuclear) and military and aerospace applications. These developments further validate Canter's strategic focus on exploring and advancing its lithium-boron projects, positioning the Company to benefit from the increasing demand for these essential materials.

James WalkerChief Executive Officer and President For further information, please contact James Walker by email at jwalker@ DISCLOSURE AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Companies typically rely on comprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates to reduce the risks and uncertainties associated with a production decision. Historically, situations where the issuer decides to put a mineral project into production without first establishing mineral reserves supported by a technical report and completing a feasibility study have a higher risk of economic or technical failure, though some industrial mineral ventures are relatively simple operations with low levels of investment and risk, where the operating entity has determined that a formal prefeasibility or feasibility study in conformance with NI 43-101 and 43-101 CP is not required for a production decision. Based on historical engineering work, geological reports, historical production data and current engineering work completed or in the process by Ares, the Company intends to move forward with the development of its Utah asset. Certain information in this news release may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are often identified by terms such as "will", "may", "should", "anticipate", "expects" and similar expressions.

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include the failure to satisfy the conditions of the relevant securities exchange(s) and other risks detailed from time to time in the filings made by the Company with securities regulations. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of any forward-looking information may prove to be incorrect. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.
