NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited Company (NASDAQ:SMX; SMXWW) (the “Company”), today announced that the reverse stock split of the Company’s ordinary shares, which was previously approved by the Company’s shareholders on April 15, 2025, will begin trading on an adjusted basis giving effect to the reverse stock split on June 16, 2025 under the existing ticker symbol “SMX”. The new CUSIP number of the Company’s ordinary shares will be G8267K 166 and the new ISIN code will be IE000B8AU702.

In accordance with the proposal approved by the Company’s shareholders and the Board of Directors’ subsequent determination to fix the split ratio at 4.1:1, every 4.1 ordinary shares of the Company will be automatically combined into one (1) ordinary share. This will reduce the number of outstanding ordinary shares of the Company from approximately 4 million to approximately 1 million.

Outstanding Company options, warrants and other applicable convertible securities, including the Company’s warrants listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol SMXWW which will retain its existing CUSIP number, will be proportionately adjusted in accordance with their respective terms. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, the Company will aggregate the fractional entitlements of shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of ordinary shares not evenly divisible by 4.1ordinary shares pursuant to the reverse stock split or they hold less than the number of ordinary shares which should be consolidated into one ordinary share pursuant to the reverse stock split and, to the extent possible, sell such aggregated fractional ordinary shares on the basis of prevailing market prices at such time.

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is acting as exchange agent for the reverse stock split and will send instructions to any shareholders of record who hold stock certificates regarding the exchange of certificates. Shareholders with shares held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the reverse stock split reflected in their accounts on or after June 17, 2025. Such beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker, or nominee for more information. Continental Stock Transfer may be reached for questions at (212) 509-4000.

The purpose for seeking shareholder approval to effect the reverse stock split was to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares.

Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s notice of and proxy statement for the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2025.

Exploration scheduled to commence in June 2025 with IP followed by Drilling

WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG)(OTCQX:TDGGF) (the “Company” or “TDG”) is pleased to announce that its field team has mobilized and will shortly commence TDG’s funded 2025 exploration program within the Company’s expansive and 100%-owned Greater Shasta-Newberry (“GSN”) Project (Figure 1) in the Toodoggone District of British Columbia (Figure 2).

Field activities will start with a combination of: (i) soil and rock geochemistry, (ii) Induced Polarisation (“IP”) geophysics, (iii) Time-domain electromagnetic geophysics, (iv) ground based magnetic geophysics and, (v) detailed geological mapping (Figure 3), followed by drilling, with the objective of defining copper +/- gold drill targets. The initial focus will be on the area encompassing the Greater Shasta, Newberry and AuWEST areas and will then expand to cover key parts of the 12 kilometre (“km”) structural corridor previously defined by TDG (news release Mar 03, 2025). This corridor hosts the Freeport-Amarc AuRORA¹ discovery along with TDG’s Trident target (news release Mar 07, 2024) and East Spur target (news release Mar 03, 2025).

HQ diamond drilling is expected to commence in mid-July with the first drillhole located less than 10 metres from the GSN-AuRORA¹ boundary. A further two drillholes are expected to be drilled from the same pad in close proximity to the mineral tenure boundary and the AuRORA¹discovery. Additional pads, drillholes and drill rigs are expected to be deployed based on results from the targeting studies as part of a proposed more extensive drill program at GSN and including additional targets prioritized within the 12 km structural corridor.

Steven Kramar, TDG’s Vice President Exploration, commented: “TDG’s planned field program this season represents a step change in our focus and coverage as we seek to evaluate and drill test a number of copper +/- gold porphyry opportunities on our side of the boundary of the AuRORA¹ discovery, and beyond. Operations will be based out of our Baker camp located ~8 km by road from GSN. We are well-funded, and our camp is fully winterized – hence, we anticipate being able to operate through to the end of October and into November, if warranted.“

About TDG Gold Corp.

TDG is a major mineral tenure holder in the Toodoggone District of north-central British Columbia, Canada, with 100% ownership of ~50,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration ground.

In 2023, TDG defined the 5.5 sq.km Greater Shasta-Newberry exploration target area (news release Jan 25, 2023) which is located directly adjacent to the gold-rich copper porphyry AuRORA¹ discovery announced by Freeport McMoran Inc. and Amarc Resources Ltd. (news release Jan 17, 2025).

In 2024, TDG identified new copper-gold target areas over an expanded footprint covering ~53 sq.km known as the ‘Baker Complex’ (news release Feb 28, 2024), including the North Quartz (news release Apr 02, 2024) and Trident (news release Mar 07, 2024) targets. In January 2025, TDG identified an additional porphyry copper +/- molybdenum target at Erebus located within TDG’s Bot project (news release Jan 17, 2025). In February 2025, TDG completed the Sofia acquisition, which includes porphyry copper +/- molybdenum +/- gold targets (ARIS Report 41231).

TDG’s other projects within the property package include the former producing, gold-silver Shasta and gold-silver-copper Baker mines, which produced intermittently between 1981-2012, and the historical high-grade gold Mets developed prospect, all of which are road accessible, and combined have over 65,000 m of historical drilling. These projects have been advanced through compilation of historical data, new geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys and, at Shasta, 13,250 m of modern HQ drill testing of the known mineralization occurrences and their potential extensions. In 2025, TDG published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate² for Shasta (news release Jan 08, 2025), which remains open at depth and along strike.

LONDON, UK AND VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec”) and Mkango Resources Ltd. (AIM:MKA)(TSXV:MKA) (“Mkango”) are pleased to announce HyProMag USA, LLC, a Delaware corporation (“HyProMag USA” or the “Project”) has received a Make More in America (MMIA) domestic finance letter of interest (“LOI”) from the U.S. Export-Import (“EXIM”) Bank for its first integrated rare earth recycling and magnet making facility in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.

In terms of the letter, EXIM may be able to consider potential financing of up to $92 million of the project’s costs with a repayment tenor of 10 years.

Julian Treger, CoTec CEO commented: “We are very pleased with EXIM’s interest in the Project. The Project is strongly aligned with EXIM’s “Make More in America” initiative, which provides beneficial financing terms for U.S. companies facing oversees competition to ensure the United States reshores certain critical export areas, including the domestic manufacturing of permanent NdFeB magnets. We believe that the Project could be a major contributor to the United States’ targeted permanent magnet independence and the speed at which HyProMag USA’s capabilities could be deployed distinguishes the Project from potential competitors.“

Will Dawes, Mkango CEO commented: “The HyProMag USA development will be transformational for rare earth supply chains in the United States, and we are very pleased to see this reflected in the interest from EXIM. With the detailed engineering phase for the project well underway, HyProMag USA is well positioned to create a major new domestic hub for recycling and magnet manufacturing, and a platform for further growth in North America.”

The issuance of this LOI is aligned with Executive Order 2421 of March 20, 2025 “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production” which includes near-term actions to be determined and implemented by the agencies to fast-track permits, mobilize capital for mineral producers, and create offtake agreements for strategic stockpiling for minerals critical to the United States’ defense, technology, and energy.

HyProMag is commercializing Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap (HPMS) recycling technology in the UK, Germany and the United States. HPMS technology was developed at the Magnetic Materials Group (MMG) at the University of Birmingham, underpinned by approximately US$100 million of research and development funding, and has major competitive advantages versus other rare earth magnet recycling technologies, which are largely focused on chemical processes but do not solve the challenges of liberating magnets from end-of-life scrap streams.

In November 2024, HyProMag announced an independent Feasibility Study which includes a Dallas Fort Worth recycling and magnet Hub, and two pre-processing facilities located in South Carolina and Nevada respectively^[i]. In March 2025, HyProMag USA announced the expansion of the detailed engineering phase to include three HPMS vessels^[ii] and that it was initiating concept studies for further expansion and complementary “Long Loop” recycling^[iii]. The DFW Hub’s annual production is expected to be 750 metric tons per annum of recycled sintered NdFeB magnets and 807 metric tons per annum of associated NdFeB co-products (total payable capacity – 1,557 metric tons NdFeB within five years of commissioning) over a 40-year operating life. It is expected the production facility will provide significant optionality to supply the U.S. market with additional NdFeB alloy powder while assisting in revitalising the U.S. magnet sector with the creation of 90-100 skilled magnet manufacturing jobs.

In March 2025, HyProMag USA announced the results of an independent ISO-Compliant product carbon footprint study which confirmed an exceptionally low CO₂ footprint of 2.35 kg CO₂ eq. per kg of NdFeB cut sintered block product.[iv]

Ownership
HyProMag USA is owned 50:50 by CoTec and HyProMag Limited (“HyProMag”). HyProMag is 100 per cent owned by Maginito Limited (“Maginito”), which is owned on a 79.4/20.6 per cent basis by Mkango and CoTec.

About CoTec Holdings Corp.
CoTec is a publicly traded investment issuer listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange (“TSX-V”) and the OTCQB and trades under the symbols CTH and CTHCF respectively. CoTec Holdings Corp. is a forward-thinking resource extraction company committed to revolutionizing the global metals and minerals industry through innovative, environmentally sustainable technologies and strategic asset acquisitions. With a mission to drive the sector toward a low-carbon future, CoTec employs a dual approach: investing in disruptive mineral extraction technologies that enhance efficiency and sustainability while applying these technologies to undervalued mining assets to unlock their full potential. By focusing on recycling, waste mining, and scalable solutions, the Company accelerates the production of critical minerals, shortens development timelines, and reduces environmental impact. CoTec’s strategic model delivers low capital requirements, rapid revenue generation, and high barriers to entry, positioning it as a leading mid-tier disruptor in the commodities sector.

Highlights:

• Portal construction commenced with initial blast completed

• Underground operations expected to contribute to production in June and ramp up during Q3 2025

• Open pit exploration drill campaign commenced

TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / Cerrado Gold Inc. [TSX.V:CERT][OTCQX:CRDOF][FRA:BAI0] (“Cerrado” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on the development of the Company’s inaugural underground operation commencing underneath the high-grade Paloma pit at its Minera Don Nicolas Mine in Argentina (“MDN”).

Earlier this week, the Company completed the initial blast to begin construction of the underground portal and progress the development of the underground mine over the coming months. The initial decline will be driven through the ore body and will provide nominal feed to the carbon in leach (“CIL”) plant. Production from the underground is expected to ramp-up to reach steady state production by October this year.

Additionally, the Company has now mobilized the initial drill rig to commence the previously announced 20,000 metre exploration drill program at MDN. The primary focus will be near surface, high-grade deposits that can provide feed to the CIL plant as well as expanding potential resources in and around the Las Calandrias heap leach project to add both high grade and heap leachable material. Underground drilling at Paloma will commence once the underground exploration platforms have been established.

Mark Brennan, Executive Chairman, commented: “The start of the underground operation is a key milestone for Cerrado’s Argentinian operations; we now have the ability to produce from open pit, heap leach and underground operations. Not only will the underground operations contribute to production immediately, but it will also provide a platform for underground exploration, which remains completely open and largely unexplored at MDN.”

Review of Technical Information

The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Andrew Croal, P.Eng., Chief Technical Officer for Cerrado Gold, who is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

About Cerrado

Cerrado Gold is a Toronto-based gold production, development, and exploration company. The Company is the 100% owner of the producing Minera Don Nicolás and Las Calandrias mine in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. In Portugal, the Company holds an 80% interest in the highly prospective Lagoa Salgada VMS project through its position in Redcorp – Empreendimentos Mineiros, Lda. In Canada, Cerrado Gold is developing its 100% owned Mont Sorcier Iron project located outside of Chibougamou, Quebec.

In Argentina, Cerrado is maximizing asset value at its Minera Don Nicolas (“MDN”) operation through continued operational optimization and is growing production through its operations at the Las Calandrias heap leach project. An extensive campaign of exploration is ongoing to further unlock potential resources in our highly prospective land package in the heart of the Deseado Masiff.

In Portugal, Cerrado is focused on the development and exploration of the highly prospective Lagoa Salgada VMS project located on the prolific Iberian Pyrite Belt in Portugal. The Lagoa Salgada project is a high-grade polymetallic project, demonstrating a typical mineralization endowment of zinc, copper, lead, tin, silver, and gold. Extensive exploration upside potential lies both near deposit and at prospective step-out targets across the large 7,209-hectare property concession. Located just 80km from Lisbon and surrounded by exceptional infrastructure, Lagoa Salgada offers a low-cost entry to a significant development and exploration opportunity, already showing its mineable scale and cashflow generation potential.

In Canada, Cerrado holds a 100% interest in the Mont Sorcier high purity high grade DRI Iron Ore project, which has the potential to produce a premium iron ore concentrate over a long mine life at low operating costs and low capital intensity. Furthermore, its high grade and high purity product facilitates the migration of steel producers from blast furnaces to electric arc furnaces, contributing to the decarbonization of the industry and the achievement of sustainable development goals.
