    2022, and has in accordance with the investment agreement the option to secure a majority shareholding in Keliber,
    following the completion of the updated feasibility study

•   Nordic Mining believes the partnership with and investment from Sibanye Stillwater will offer great value to new and
    existing shareholders, and has the intention of subscribing for up to NOK 45 million (EUR 4.5 million) in order to
    maintain the company’s exposure to fast-growing European lithium market. The minimum secured pro-rata
    allocation is EUR 1.63 million
