Verde Announces EGM Results, Oby Rare Earths Transaction Record Date, and Cost Reductions

Singapore, Verde AgriTech Ltd. (TSX: “NPK”) (OTCMKTS: “VNPKF”) (“Verde” or the “Company”) held its Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) on Friday, December 20, 2024, at 300 Prof. Antônio Aleixo, Lourdes, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Company is pleased to announce that all resolutions presented to shareholders have been approved. Additionally, Verde has set the Record Date for the distribution of interests in Oby Rare Earths Pty Ltd (“Oby”) to shareholders of the Company, marking a significant milestone in its strategic growth.

Record Date for Oby Rare Earths and Capital Reduction:

The Company established the Record Date for the distribution of interests in Oby for January 27^th, 2025, in compliance with regulatory requirements, ensuring the minimum notice period of five trading days prior to the earliest possible completion date of the share capital reduction process.

The distribution will transition the Man of War project to an independent entity, Oby, enabling greater focus and autonomy for its development. This step allows Verde to focus exclusively on its core fertilizer operations while enabling Oby to focus on rare earth elements and correlated mineralization in the Man of War project. As part of this process, the Company is conducting a share capital reduction, reducing the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company by CD$350,000, taking into account the net book value of the Oby Shares.

As informed in the Management Information Circular (“MIC”) published on November 20^th, 2024[1], there will be a distribution of Verde’s interests in Oby to the shareholders of the Company by way of a capital reduction, in proportion to their respective shareholdings in the Company, on the basis of 1 Oby Share for every 1 ordinary share in the share capital of the Company held by a Shareholder on January 27^th, 2025, disregarding fractional entitlements.

The capital reduction is currently in progress and is expected to be completed between February 3^rd and February 13^th, 2025, subject to the conclusion of all necessary approvals and procedural steps.

The spin-off of Oby will enable the focused development and progress of the Man of War project, which is composed of three targets hosting a maiden mineral resource estimate of 1.35 billion tons, with an average grade of 3,437 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO)[2] and 793 ppm Magnet Rare Earth Oxides[3], calculated using a 1,000 ppm TREO cut-off. It presents significant potential and warrants investment for its further development.

In Q1 2025, Oby plans to raise funds aimed primarily at completing a scoping study and advancing environmental impact assessment. Verde shareholders who are accredited investors and interested in participating in this opportunity are encouraged to contact Verde directly at investor@verde.ag.

Cost Reduction

As part of its ongoing commitment to operational excellence, Verde has implemented a robust cost-reduction initiative that is projected to achieve savings of up to R$9.3 million in the coming year. This represents a 15% reduction in manageable costs, including both expenses and operational costs. The reduction has been accomplished through comprehensive renegotiations of supplier contracts, streamlining operations by reducing team size, and eliminating middle management positions. Furthermore, the Company has undertaken a thorough review of its internal processes to identify inefficiencies and implement targeted optimizations.

These measures are designed to enhance productivity, agility, and long-term sustainability, while reducing costs.

“Operational efficiency, coupled with strict and effective management of costs and expenses, is essential to excel in today’s challenging economic environment. At Verde, we will leverage the lessons and performance metrics of the past years to further evolve and achieve productivity excellence at reduced costs”, stated Cristiano Veloso, Founder & CEO of Verde.

Verde Announces 1.35 Billion Tons of Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at the Man of War Rare Earths Project

The Resource Estimate Is One of the World’s Largest And Highest Grade Ionic Absorption Clay Projects with TREO Grade of 3,437 ppm and 793 ppm MREO

Singapore. Verde AgriTech Ltd (TSX: “NPK”) (OTCQX: “VNPKF”) (“Verde” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a maiden mineral resource estimate of 1.35 billion tons at 3,437 ppm of Total Rare Earth Oxides (“TREO”)[1] and with 793 ppm of Magnet Rare Earth Oxides (“MREO”)[2] for the Man of War Rare Earths Project (“Man of War”) in accordance with NI 43-101 standards, the Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (“RPEE”), calculated with a 1,000 ppm TREO cut-off. This estimate includes three of Man of War’s targets: Nau de Guerra, Bálsamo and Alto da Serra located in São Gotardo, Brazil. The JORC and NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate establishes Man of War as one of the world’s largest rare earths projects.

This comprehensive analysis underpins the robust economic potential of Man of War as a world-class rare earths project.

This is based on 1,50 billion tons in-situ resources with 3,430 ppm of TREO and with 791 ppm of MREO, calculated with a 1,000 ppm TREO cut-off, from three currently studied targets, Alto da Serra, Bálsamo and Nau de Guerra.

The difference between the RPEE resource of 1.35 billion and the in-situ resource of 1.50 billion is attributable to the fact that the former is confined within the optimized mathematical pits generated for the RPEE demonstration.

Below are the highlights of the in-situ resource.

Highlights by Target:

• Nau de Guerra: 120.09 Mt @ 3,628 ppm TREO, with 846 ppm MREO,
• Alto da Serra: 230.21 Mt @ 3,684 ppm TREO, with 875 ppm MREO,
• Balsamo: 1,145.62 Mt @ 3,358 ppm TREO, with 769 ppm MREO,

Man of War presents significant potential and demands substantial investment for its advancement. The spin-off of Oby Rare Earths Pty. Ltd. (“Oby”) will enable the focused development and progress of the project, while Verde continue to concentrate exclusively on its core business. Shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on Oby’s spin-off and the distribution of Oby shares to Verde shareholders at the Special General Meeting scheduled for December 20^th.[3] In Q1 2025, Oby plans to rase funds to advance the development of its world-class Man of War project. Funds raised will primarily be allocated to completing a scoping study and advancing environmental impact assessment. Verde shareholders who are accredited investors and interested in participating in this opportunity are encouraged to contact Verde directly at investor@verde.ag.

“The discovery of such a significant rare earth resource in Brazil has the potential to redefine the global supply chain for critical minerals like praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, and dysprosium. The Man of War Project is poised to become a key contributor to the technologies that drive our modern economy”, celebrated Cristiano Veloso, Verde’s Founder and CEO.

Resource Estimate Summary:

The following table summarizes the in-situ mineral resource estimates at a cut-off grade of 1,000 ppm TREO for each target and the combined total:

The resource estimates were prepared in compliance with the JORC 2012 Edition and NI 43-101 standards, under the supervision of Dr. Volodymyr Myadzel, PhD, MAIG, who acts as the Qualified Person (QP) for this report.

BNA Mining Solutions is responsible for preparing the final report in compliance with NI 43-101 standards, which is expected to be released in approximately 45 days.

Drilling and Sampling:

The exploration campaign employed diamond drilling to ensure the reliability and precision of the resource estimation process. Sampling was conducted at consistent intervals of 1 meter, with drill cores carefully stored in labeled plastic bags containing unique identification tags. These bags were sealed, double-bagged, and systematically recorded in a digital database to maintain traceability.

The drilling campaign, carried out between April and September 2011, used MACH 1200 and DIAKOR II rigs, executed by Rede Engenharia e Sondagens S/A (a subsidiary of SGS) and Isoágua Perfurações Especiais Ltda. Together, these campaigns drilled 3,539.3 meters across the Nau de Guerra (742.95 meters), Alto da Serra (1,313.85 meters), and Balsamo (1,582.5 meters) targets. The core recovery was calculated for each interval, achieving reliable recovery rates that formed the foundation of the geological interpretation and resource modeling. The diamond drill cores enabled bulk density measurements and were carefully preserved for future reference.

During both the historical exploration in 2011 and the ongoing 2024 campaigns, geologists logged core details, including weathering profiles, regolith characteristics, lithology, and petrographic features. Key geotechnical parameters such as Rock Quality Designation (RQD) and degrees of weathering were also recorded. These observations were systematically entered into a centralized digital database, ensuring consistency and facilitating seamless integration with subsequent analyses.

Laboratory Analysis and QA/QC Protocols:

Sample preparation followed a rigorous protocol to ensure the integrity and reliability of assay data. Drill cores were photographed, and geologists revised descriptions before sampling. A longitudinal cut was made in the cores, and a quarter was sampled while preserving the remainder for reference. Samples were crushed, sieved to 1mm, homogenized, and split using a Jones riffle splitter. Pulverization to 95% passing 150# mesh preceded the extraction of a 10g aliquot for ICP95A/IMS95A analysis of REEs and oxides.

The project implemented a robust QA/QC program in collaboration with SGS, incorporating blanks, reference materials, and duplicates into sample batches of 50. Inter-laboratory checks were conducted with ALS Laboratories, cross-verifying assay results with deviations consistently within ±10% of original grades.

Independent verification included two site visits by Dr. Volodymyr Myadzel, PhD, MAIG, who evaluated drilling and sampling procedures, QA/QC protocols, and the geological model. These inspections confirmed the reliability of sampling techniques, laboratory practices, and data management, ensuring compliance with JORC 2012 and NI 43-101 standards.

Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources:

The mineral resource estimation for the project was carried out using a systematic and robust methodology, incorporating historical data and results from the 2011–2012 drilling campaigns conducted by the Verde team. Site visits by Volodymyr Myadzel, representing BNA Mining Solutions, were conducted in July and August 2024 to assess site conditions, verify geological documentation, and provide an overall geological overview of the area.

A block model was developed using Ordinary Kriging (OK) for grade interpolation, implemented via Micromine software. This approach was chosen due to the log-normal distribution of the sample data. To validate and cross-check the results, Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW3) was applied as a secondary estimation method. The estimation employed a sequential search ellipse methodology across four passes, with adjustments to the size of the ellipsoid and the number of composite samples and drill holes required for interpolation. Block discretization utilized sub-blocking, dividing initial 50x50x10-meter blocks into subunits (5x5x2 meters) near mineralized wireframes. Variography guided the determination of search ellipse parameters and orientations, with radii and azimuth orientations customized for each REE.

Validation of the block model included statistical comparisons between interpolated grades and composite datasets. Histograms and probability plots demonstrated consistency and reliability, confirming the robustness of the model.

A cut-off grade of 1,000 ppm TREO was applied, informed by comparable projects and the Qualified Person’s experience. Dry bulk density values were calculated from 452 diamond drill core samples, analyzed using Archimedes’ principle with equipment certified by INMETRO. All estimates are reported on a dry tonnage basis.

All mineral resources have been classified as Inferred, reflecting the current state of geological continuity, drill hole spacing, variography, and density data. This classification aligns with industry standards and the Qualified Person’s assessment of data reliability.

In previous announcements, the Company reported substantial concentrations of Total Rare Earth Oxides (“TREO”), Magnet Rare Earth Oxides (“MREO”) and scandium oxide (“Sc₂O₃”) within the same intervals where the niobium results were identified. During the ongoing consolidation of assay data, the potential for niobium concentrations emerged, allowing Oby to evaluate the feasibility of extracting niobium as a co-product from the Man of War Project’s rare earth deposit.

Below is a comprehensive table presenting the niobium assay results for all intervals previously announced. These results underscore the continuity of high-grade niobium zones within the mineralized areas of the Man of War Project. Each entry specifies the drill hole, total interval length, depth, and niobium concentration (Nb₂O₅ in ppm), providing further insight into the project’s significant niobium potential:

“While in isolation the niobium grades might not be economically viable, when combined with the potential future exploration of rare earths, it adds significant value to the project, enhancing its overall attractiveness and strategic importance,” said Cristiano Veloso, Founder & CEO of Verde.

Significance of Niobium

Niobium is a critical mineral with essential applications in high-tech industries, including renewable energy, electronics, and aerospace, where it is valued for its role in enhancing material strength, heat resistance, and use in advanced technologies[1].

Market Value of Niobium

According to recent industry analyses, niobium maintains a high market value due to its scarcity and specialized applications. Niobium in its pure form can command prices ranging from $40 to $50 USD per kilogram, while high-purity niobium alloys are even more valuable due to their enhanced properties for use in aerospace, automotive, and energy applications[2].

The Company has commissioned the preparation of a mineral resource report, to be completed in compliance with both NI 43-101 and Australian JORC standards and remains committed to responsible exploration and ongoing analysis at the Man of War Rare Earths Project. Further updates on niobium and other rare earth findings will be provided as exploration progresses.

The estimated costs and logistics associated with the continued exploration and potential development of niobium within the project area.

It is important to note that Man of War project is currently in the initial phase. The results reported here are preliminary and should not be considered definitive indicators of the project’s viability. Further exploration work is required, and there is no guarantee that future drilling will confirm the presence of economically viable mineral reserves.

All forward-looking statements are based on Verde’s or its consultants’ current beliefs as well as various assumptions made by them and information currently available to them. The most significant assumptions are set forth above, but generally these assumptions include, but are not limited to:

The continuity and presence of niobium and associated rare earth mineralization across the identified zones;

The successful completion of planned exploratory and analytical work;

The availability of necessary financing to support continued exploration activities.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that estimates, forecasts, projections, and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved or that assumptions do not reflect future experience. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates, assumptions, and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be generally stated as the risk that the assumptions and estimates expressed above do not occur as forecast, but specifically include, without limitation: risks relating to variations in the mineral content within the material identified as Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves from that predicted; variations in rates of recovery and extraction; the geotechnical characteristics of the rock mined or through which infrastructure is built differing from that predicted; developments in world metals markets; risks relating to fluctuations in the Brazilian Real relative to the Canadian dollar; increases in the estimated capital and operating costs or unanticipated costs; difficulties attracting the necessary workforce; increases in financing costs or adverse changes to the terms of available financing, if any; tax rates or royalties being greater than assumed; changes in development or mining plans due to changes in logistical, technical, or other factors; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; risks relating to receipt of regulatory approvals; delays in stakeholder negotiations; changes in regulations applying to the development, operation, and closure of mining operations from what currently exists; the effects of competition in the markets in which Verde operates; operational and infrastructure risks; and the additional risks described in Verde’s Annual Information Form filed with SEDAR in Canada (available at www.sedar.com) for the year ended December 31, 2021. Verde cautions that the foregoing list of factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive.

When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Verde, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events.

Verde Announces Scandium Results from Man of War Rare Earths Project

Additional Results from Nau de Guerra Target Reveal Up to 144 ppm Sc₂O₃

Singapore. Verde AgriTech Ltd (TSX: “NPK”) (OTCQX: “VNPKF”) (“Verde” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce new findings from the Nau de Guerra target within Man of War Rare Earths Project, revealing scandium oxide (“Sc₂O₃”) concentrations from 30 reanalyzed core samples. Although scandium was not part of the original analysis suite, a targeted reanalysis revealed promising concentrations, with results reaching:

• 144 ppm Sc₂O₃ in Hole ID AP-ND-14, at 29m;
• 72 ppm Sc₂O₃ in AP-ND-07, along with 5,506 ppm TREO and 1,341 ppm Magnetic Rare Earths Oxide (“MREO”) (from 16 to 25m);
• 63 ppm Sc₂O₃ in AP-ND-08, along with 5,333 ppm TREO and 1,541 ppm MREO (from 1 to 11m);
• 107 ppm Sc₂O₃ in AP-ND-14, along with 7,798 ppm TREO and 1,864 ppm MREO (from 22 to 33m).

In previous announcements, Verde reported results from over 740 samples from the Nau de Guerra target, analyzed by SGS laboratories using the ICP95A/IMS95A methods. These analyses covered 47 parameters, excluding scandium. Recognizing scandium’s industrial relevance, the Company conducted a reanalysis of 30 core samples across three drill holes using the ICM40B method to quantify scandium oxide (Sc₂O₃) levels specifically.

This reanalysis revealed noteworthy Sc₂O₃ concentrations alongside Total Rare Earth Oxides (“TREO”) and MREO, highlighting scandium’s economic and strategic importance within the project. A summary of scandium oxide findings, with corresponding TREO and MREO values, is provided below:

“The rare earths find, in and of itself, made the Man of War project an impressive economic opportunity. The associated scandium at the grades assayed show that the overall basket of minerals could potentially yield even more value per ton of ore,” celebrated Cristiano Veloso, Verde’s Founder and CEO.

Significance of Scandium

Scandium is a rare and versatile metal, classified as a critical mineral by several countries. It is considered the most effective microalloying element for aluminum, significantly enhancing aluminum’s strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat and corrosion while also reducing its weight. These qualities make aluminum-scandium alloys highly valued in both military and civilian aircraft, where they improve fuel efficiency, maneuverability, and range.[1]

Beyond aerospace, scandium plays a crucial role in clean energy applications, such as solid oxide fuel cells, and is increasingly valuable in the automotive, 3D printing, and high-performance sports equipment industries, including in baseball bats and bicycle frames. Additionally, scandium is used in electronic ceramics, lasers, and LED lighting, where its unique properties further underscore its industrial relevance.

Market Value of Scandium

According to the Institute for Rare Earths and Metals AG, scandium commands a high market value due to its scarcity and utility in advanced industries. Scandium metal with 99.999% purity is currently valued between $5,735 and $6,025 USD per kilogram, while scandium oxide with 99.99% purity is priced between $1,016 and $1,089 USD per kilogram. This high value highlights the economic potential of Verde’s scandium-bearing resources at the Man of War Project, as demand for the element continues to grow across aerospace, energy, and other sectors.[2]

The Company has commissioned the preparation of a mineral resource report, to be completed in compliance with both NI 43-101 and Australian JORC standards and remains committed to responsible exploration and ongoing analysis at the Man of War Rare Earths Project. Further updates on scandium and other rare earth findings will be provided as exploration progresses.
