“
Corporation”) (TSX.V: GMA) (OTC: GOMRF) a
developer of clean technologies for the mining, refining and
recycling of rare earths, is pleased to update investors on its
current financial position. Since the beginning of the current

$1,234,509 through the exercise of various financial instruments
(warrants, broker warrants and options) resulting in the issuance
of a combined total of 7,047,763 common shares. All warrants
expiring in May 2022 and priced at $0.15 have been exercised.
Geomega now has over $5.1M in cash and cash equivalents on hand and
an available Debt Facility from Investissement Quebec in the amount
of $3.046M for the equipment and construction of the rare earths
recycling demonstration plant in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville,
Quebec.
“Geomega is in the strongest financial position
it has ever been. The most recent private placement funding with
cornerstone investor Mr. Michael Gentile, CFA (see press release
from May 4, 2022) along with the aforementioned security
exercises and other committed funding, will allow the Corporation
to accelerate and fully fund it’s key commercial focused projects
such as the magnet recycling plant, our bauxite residues project
with Rio Tinto and the application of our IP and technology
platform to the 100% owned Montviel rare earth deposit. This
funding is in addition to the $4.2M (see press release from
February 9, 2022 and May 4, 2022) in non-dilutive funding
commitments from governments and industry partners such as Rio
Tinto. Given the Corporation’s strong balance sheet, we should be
able to dramatically accelerate both our current projects and our
exciting pipeline of R&D growth projects focused on sustainable
technologies in critical and strategic metals. With record levels
of investment planned in our numerous commercial focused programs
and with end market demand for our solutions never being stronger,
the future looks very bright for Geomega.” commented Kiril
Mugerman, President and CEO of Geomega.
About Geomega
(www.geomega.ca)Geomega
develops innovative technologies for extraction and separation of
rare earth elements and other critical metals essential for a
sustainable future. With a focus on renewable energies, vehicle
electrification, automation and reduction in energy usage, rare
earth magnets or neo-magnets (NdFeB) are at the center of all these
technologies. Geomega’s strategy revolves around gradually
de-risking its innovative technology and delivering cashflow and
return value to shareholders while working directly with the main
players in these industries to recycle the magnets that power all
those technologies.
As its technologies are demonstrated on larger
scales, Geomega is committed to work with major partners to help
extract value from mining feeds, tailings and other industrial
residues which contain rare earths and other critical metals.
Irrespective of the metal or the source, Geomega adopts a
consistent approach to reduce the environmental impact and to
contribute to lowering greenhouse gases emissions through recycling
of the major reagents in the process.
Geomega’s core project is based around the ISR
Technology (Innord’s Separation of Rare Earths), a proprietary,
low-cost, environmentally friendly way to tap into a C$1.5 billion
global market to recycle magnet production waste and end of life
magnets profitably and safely.
Geomega is applying its technology to bauxite
residues, the waste from alumina production, and is working with
Rio Tinto to scale up the technology. Bauxite residues valorization
could open a market of over 17.5B$ where 175M tonnes of new waste
is generated annually.
Geomega also owns the Montviel rare earth
carbonatite deposit, the largest NI 43-101 bastnaesite resource
estimate in North America and holds over 16.8M shares, representing
approximately 14% of the issued and outstanding shares, of Kintavar
Exploration Inc. (KTR.V), a mineral exploration company that is
exploring for copper projects in Quebec, Canada.
