PolyMet Mining Files Materials in Connection with Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders

PolyMet Mining Corp. (TSX: POM) (NYSE American: PLM) ("PolyMet" or the "company"), has filed its notice of meeting and management information circular (the "Circular") in connection with its Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on June 16, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Meeting materials were mailed out on May 7, 2021 to shareholders of record as of April 28, 2021.

Due to the ongoing global coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency and in consideration of the health and safety of our shareholders, colleagues and our broader community, the company strongly encourages shareholders to vote on the matters before the Meeting by proxy, and to view the Meeting online by the way of a live webcast, rather than attend in person. The routine legal requirements of the Meeting will be carried out by a limited number of company representatives.

PolyMet encourages all shareholders to participate in the Meeting. Shareholders may submit questions to management ahead of the Meeting via email to info@polymetmining.com. There will be an opportunity to ask questions following the conclusion of the official business portion of the Meeting.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT - PLEASE VOTE TODAY

PolyMet encourages shareholders to read the meeting materials, which have been filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), EDGAR (www.sec.gov) and are available on our website (www.polymetmining.com).

Meeting Matters

At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to vote on the following resolutions:

  1. to elect seven directors to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders;
  2. to appoint Deloitte & Touche LLP as the auditor to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders and to authorize the Board of Directors to fix the remuneration to be paid to the auditors; and
  3. to re-approve PolyMet's Omnibus Share Compensation Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") as approved by the shareholders in 2007 and as amended, restated, and confirmed from time to time, most recently by shareholders in 2018. Under the policies of the TSX, the Omnibus Plan must be re-approved by PolyMet's shareholders, excluding the votes of Common Shares held by insiders who are eligible to participate in the Omnibus Plan. An aggregate of 72,361,214 Common Shares are held by insiders who are eligible to participate in the Omnibus Plan and whose votes will be excluded in determining the number of votes cast in respect of the resolution to re-approve the Omnibus Plan.

With respect to the summary of the Omnibus Plan found in the Circular, the company wishes to provide further detail regarding certain provisions of the Omnibus Plan as set out below:

  1. Blackout Extension. The Omnibus Plan specifically allows that where the expiry date for an option occurs during or within nine business days following the end of a blackout period, the expiry date for such option shall be extended to the date which is 10 business days following the end of such blackout period.
  2. Termination Provisions of Performance Stock Units. The termination provisions for Performance Stock Units are the same as for the other Awards.
  3. Amendment Provisions. The Compensation Committee has the right to exercise any amendment provision of the Omnibus Plan only if shareholder approval is obtained for such amendment. Shareholder approval is not required for any amendments to implement or modify a cashless exercise feature for Awards, whether such feature provides for payments in cash or securities, so long as any such feature provides for the full deduction of the number of underlying common shares from the total number of common shares available under the Omnibus Plan.

The Board of Directors of PolyMet recommends that shareholders vote in favor of all proposed items.

5 Top Weekly TSX Stocks: Sierra Metals Takes the Lead with Gain of Nearly 40 Percent

The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) declined slightly last week, falling 0.31 percent to 20,103.2.

The latest inflation data shows Canada's consumer price index rose 3.1 percent year-on-year in October, in line with forecasts from economists. The number is down from September's reading of 3.8 percent. However, Leslie Preston, senior economist at TD (TSX:TD,NYSE:TD), told CBC that Canadians probably aren't noticing price decreases.

"Slower growth in prices may be imperceptible to consumers who are still paying more than 20 per cent more for a basket of groceries relative to three years ago — the biggest such increase in 40 years," she said.

How to Invest in Copper

Often called Dr. Copper, the red metal has long been held up as a key indicator of global economic health.

Copper is one of the most followed base metals, and its high ductility and electrical conductivity make it the third most consumed industrial metal in the world, behind iron ore and aluminum, as per the US Geological Survey.

Given its attributes, copper is often used for electrical purposes such as power transmission and generation. And like its base metal sibling nickel, it has a major role in the electric vehicle revolution, with experts at S&P Global expecting consumption of copper to jump 20 percent by 2035 due to demand from the green energy market.
