The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to implement trade-off and process engineering design studies, pilot plant planning, customer and feedstock supply development, and general working capital. The completion of the Private Placement is subject to the acceptance of the Exchange.

Medallion has agreed to pay finders’ fees to arm’s length finders of up to 8% of the gross proceeds funded by outside parties, payable in cash or Units, at the election of the finder, and will also grant finders’ options (“Finders’ Options”) equal to up to 8% of the Units sold through qualified finders. Each Finders’ Option will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.165 for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date.

About Medallion Resources
Medallion is preparing for near-term production of rare-earth magnet materials in North America through the processing of by-product monazite sand—in a modern, clean, and automated process. Monazite sand is rich in rare-earth elements neodymium and praseodymium (also known as “NdPr”) which are critical input for lightweight and powerful rare-earth magnets. Rare-earth magnets are essential to Automotive and Robotics (electric motors), Defense (Missile Guidance Systems), and Clean Energy (Wind Turbines) industries. Given the dominance of China as a rare-earth producer and tense global trade relations, automakers and other industry groups are seeking non-China sources to meet increasing demands for NdPr. Medallion is committed to following best practices and accepted international standards in all aspects of mineral transportation, processing and safe management of waste materials.
