Graphite One and Lucid Enter into Second Non-Binding Supply Agreement
Agreement involves Natural Graphite Material; complements existing 2024 agreement covering Synthetic Anode Active Materials Follows Graphite One's listing on U.S. Federal Fast-41 Permitting Dashboard and completion of its NI 43-101 compliant Feasibility Study funded by a $37.3 million Department of Defense award under the Defense Production Act Graphite One CEO, Anthony Huston: "This Agreement makes Graphite One the only company to date to provide both natural and synthetic graphite materials required for battery anodes to a U.S. EV company." VANCOUVER, BC, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ - Graphite One Inc. (TSXV: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) (" Graphite One", or the " Company"), is pleased to announce that as part of its plan to build a complete U.S. supply chain for advanced graphite materials, the Company has entered into a second non-binding supply agreement (the " Supply Agreement") for anode active materials (" AAM") with Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) (" Lucid"), maker of the world's most advanced electric vehicles. Whereas the previous agreement announced in July 2024 involved synthetic graphite AAM, the agreement announced today covers natural graphite AAM which will be supplied to Lucid and its battery cell suppliers for use in future vehicles. "This agreement complements the deal we struck with Lucid in 2024 – which marked the first synthetic graphite agreement between a U.S. graphite developer and a U.S. EV company. We made history then – and we're continuing to make history now, as the deal makes Graphite One the only company to date to provide both natural and synthetic graphite materials required for battery anodes to a U.S. EV company," said Graphite One CEO Anthony Huston. "From Presidential Executive Orders to increase mineral resource production and leveraging Alaska's resource potential, to the recent inclusion of our Company on the Federal Fast-41 Permitting Dashboard -- we are building momentum for our efforts to develop a fully domestic graphite supply chain, to meet market demands and strengthen U.S. industry and national defense." "A supply chain of critical materials within the United States drives our nation's economy, increases our independence against outside factors or market dynamics, and supports our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of our vehicles," said Marc Winterhoff, Interim CEO at Lucid. "This partnership is another example of our commitment to powering American innovation and manufacturing with localized supply chains." The Supply Agreement follows publication of Graphite One's feasibility study prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 this spring, which with the support of Defense Production Act Title III funding, was completed 15 months ahead of schedule and showed a tripling of the Company's proven and probable reserves. Graphite One's domestic graphite supply chain is planned to produce graphite concentrate from the Graphite Creek deposit North of Nome, Alaska and AAM at a facility to be constructed in Warren, Ohio, subject to financing. Terms of the Supply Agreement The Supply Agreement is non-binding and commences once the Company begins production of natural graphite. The initial term is for 5 years, subject to earlier termination. Sales are based on a price formula agreeable to both parties. The Supply Agreement is subject to other terms, conditions and termination rights standard for an agreement of this nature. About Lucid Lucid (NASDAQ: LCID) is a Silicon Valley-based technology company focused on creating the most advanced EVs in the world. The award-winning Lucid Air and new Lucid Gravity deliver best-in-class performance, sophisticated design, expansive interior space and unrivaled energy efficiency. Lucid assembles both vehicles in its state-of-the-art, vertically integrated factory in Arizona. Through its industry-leading technology and innovations, Lucid is advancing the state-of-the-art of EV technology for the benefit of all. Graphite One's Domestic Supply Chain Strategy With the United States currently 100 percent import dependent for synthetic and natural graphite, Graphite One is developing a complete U.S.-based, advanced graphite supply chain solution anchored by the Graphite Creek deposit, recognized by the US Geological Survey as the largest graphite deposit in the U.S. "and among the largest in the world." The Graphite One Project plan includes building an advanced graphite material and battery anode material manufacturing plant located in Warren, Ohio. The plan also includes a recycling facility to reclaim graphite and the other battery materials, to be co-located at the Ohio site, the third link in Graphite One's circular economy strategy.

Aura Minerals Agrees to Acquire the Mineração Serra Grande Gold Mine in Goiás, Brazil
ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aura Minerals Inc. (TSX: ORA, B3: AURA33 and OTCQX: ORAAF) ('Aura' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that Aura, AngloGold Ashanti plc ('AngloGold') and a wholly owned subsidiary of Aura have entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the 'SPA') pursuant to which Aura's wholly owned subsidiary will acquire from AngloGold all of the issued and outstanding securities of Mineração Serra Grande S.A. ('MSG'), owner of the Mineração Serra Grande gold mine located in Crixás, in the state of Goiás, Brazil (the 'Transaction'). Transaction Highlights: The closing of the Transaction is expected to happen by Q3 2025, and no later than Q4 2025. Rodrigo Barbosa, President and CEO of Aura, stated: 'AngloGold has built a strong reputation for developing and operating world-class mines. Serra Grande, located in one of Brazil's most prominent greenstone belts, has, according to AngloGold, produced over 3 million Oz since 1998 with a peak production of 193,000 Oz in 2006, underscoring its significant potential. As a nimble company with a proven turnaround track record (e.g., Apoena and Aranzazu) and a team with significant previous knowledge of Serra Grande, Aura is well positioned to unlock the mine's potential. Through our disciplined capital allocation, Aura 360 culture, and a targeted exploration program, we believe we can significantly enhance performance, boost production, reduce costs, and extend the Life of Mine at Serra Grande, which could result in Serra Grande becoming a cornerstone of our portfolio.' ABOUT MSG MSG is located in the northwest of the state of Goiás, central Brazil about 5km from the city of Crixás. The MSG operation comprises three mechanised underground mines and an open pit, with one dedicated metallurgical plant with an annual capacity of 1.5 Mt. AngloGold's existing Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Report dated as of December 31, 2024, filed on AngloGold's website, disclosed total Measured and Indicated Resource of 10.75 Mt gold, at an average grade of 3.14 g/t gold for 1.08 Moz of gold, along with Inferred Mineral Resource of 12.95 Mt gold at an average grade of 3.39 g/t for 1.4 Moz of gold. Aura considers the reported mineral resources as 'historical estimates' and does not treat such mineral resources as current. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources under 43-101 – Standard of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ('NI 43-101') or comment on the reliability of the historic resources or what work needs to be done to upgrade or verify the historical estimates as current. In addition, Aura cannot confirm if such classifications are compatible with, or directly comparable to, the requirements of NI 43-101. According to AngloGold, in 2024, MSG produced 80 kOz of gold (2023: 86 kOz).
