African Energy Metals Announces Extension on Mali Acquisition Agreement, Appointment of New Auditor and Late Filing of Financial Statements

African Energy Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUCO; FSE: BC2; OTCQB: NDENF; WKN: A3DEJG) ("African Energy Metals" or the "Company") announces the extension of the closing date on the Falea acquisition to May 30, 2023. The Company also announces the appointment of a new auditor and the Company's potential delay in filing its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and related management discussion and analysis and certifications (collectively, the "Financial Statements") and the CEO and CFO certificates relating to the Financial Statements (the "Required Filings") beyond the prescribed filing deadlines.

Mali Acquisition Agreement

The Company is pleased to announce the Company and GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSX-V: GXU; OTCQX: GVXXF) ("GoviEx") have agreed to extend the outside date of the share purchase agreement announced on January 18, 2023, from April 14, 2023, to May 30, 2023. The extension provides for additional time to obtain documents required to comply with the TSXV filing and to allow for the completion of the Financial Statements by the Company.

Appointment of New Auditor

The Company is pleased to announce it has retained Vancouver based Saturna Group Chartered Professional Accountants LLP to act as auditors for the Company, replacing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. There were no disagreements between the Company and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Potential Delay in Filing

The Company's potential delay in filing its Required Filings on time is because it has recently decided to engage Saturna Group Chartered Professional Accountants LLP as auditors of the Company. As part of the formal change of auditor process under National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations, the Notice of Change of Auditor, together with the letter from the former auditor, was filed on April 20, 2023 and posted on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

Considering the foregoing factors, it is the Company's view that should the Required Filings not be filed by May 1, 2023, then, the present circumstances warrant the imposition of a management cease trade order ("Management CTO"), rather than a cease trade order ("CTO"), as contemplated under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203").

The Company has applied for a Management CTO, however there is no assurance that it will be granted.

The Company's Required Filings are required to be filed within one month of the prescribed filing deadline of May 1, 2023. The Company's failure to file such Required Filings within this one-month period may result in the securities commissions or regulators imposing an Issuer Cease Trade Order.

The Company proposes to remedy the fault by working with its new auditor to ensure the filing of its Required Filings as soon as possible. The Company expects to be able to issue and file the Required Filings by no later than May 30, 2023.

The Company therefore fully expects to file its Required Filings prior to the end of the additional one-month period as prescribed by NP 12-203. Further, the Company has confirmed that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines described in sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 for so long as it remains in default for failure to file the Required Filings. Should the Company fail to file the appropriate Default Status Reports as prescribed by NP 12-203, the securities commissions or regulators may, because of such failure, impose an Issuer Cease Trade Order.

The Company confirms that it is not subject to any insolvency proceeding as of the date hereof. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date herein.

7 Biggest Lithium-mining Companies in 2025

For a long time, most of the world's lithium was produced by an oligopoly of US-listed producers. However, the sector has transformed significantly in recent years.

Interested investors should cast a wider net to look at global companies — in particular those listed in Australia and China, as companies in both countries have become major players in the industry.

While Australia has long been a top-producing country when it comes to lithium, China has risen quickly to become not only the top lithium processor and refiner, but also a major miner of the commodity. In fact, China was the third largest lithium-producing country in 2024 in terms of mine production, behind Australia and Chile.

Chinese companies are mining in other countries as well, including top producer Australia, where a few are part of major lithium joint ventures. For example, Australia’s largest lithium mine, Greenbushes, is owned and operated by Talison Lithium, which is 51 percent controlled by Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia, a joint venture between China’s Tianqi Lithium (SZSE:002466,HKEX:9696) and Australia’s IGO (ASX:IGO,OTC Pink:IPDGF). The remaining 49 percent stake in Talison is owned by Albemarle (NYSE:ALB). Joint ventures can offer investors different ways to get exposure to mines and jurisdictions.

Green Technology Metals Boosts Market Position through Root Lithium Project

North America-focused Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1,OTC Pink:GTMLF) has completed an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for its Root lithium project in Ontario, Canada.

Green Technology Metals said that the PEA evaluated Root on a standalone basis, while the December 2023 PEA combined Root with the company's advanced Seymour lithium project. The new PEA took into consideration the recently updated Root Project MRE, revised pit optimisations and mine development options, and changed lithium market conditions.

“(The PEA confirms Root) as a technically and economically robust standalone operation,” Managing Director Cameron Henry said in an April 9 release. “With a longer mine life, reduced upfront capital requirements, and strong economics, Root is well-positioned to support GT1’s broader strategy of establishing a vertically integrated lithium supply chain in Ontario.”
