regional Chiefs, councils and other community stakeholders, and
meetings with the national government and carbon partners in the
country.

developer's management team and staff discussing their capacity,
capabilities, and to better understand challenges, plans and
strategies moving forward.

operations around the nursery and gaining an understanding of how

established to provide further input and oversight.
Klimat X CEO, James Tansey
commented 'The extensive nature of the site visit by our customer
demonstrates the level of scrutiny that is now expected of carbon
credit developers. Our approach is to commit to fair and
transparent project investments across the region and our
technology development team is building a new Carbon Done Right
system to support his goal. Our view is that this project is a
model for the restoration of native forest across Africa, providing long term sustainable income
to smallholders from degraded land.'
The company has developed a large-scale rewilding reforestation
project in Sierra Leone, for an
initial area of 5,000 ha, which can be extended by a further 20,000
ha. The initial project area of 5,000 ha will produce up to
1.9m tonnes of validated and verified
Verra carbon credits over 30 years. The total pre-purchase amount
will be repaid through the delivery of validated and verified
carbon credits to the pre-purchaser.
The Company has surveyed and verified almost 20,000 ha of land
for restoration through a comprehensive Participatory Mapping
process. An NGO, Namati, is acting on behalf of the landowners and
preparing land lease agreements through a collaborative Free and
Prior Informed Consent process.
The company also announces that it intends to settle an
aggregate of C$45,234.47 of
indebtedness owed to a certain arm's length creditor through the
issuance of 301,563 common shares at a deemed issuance price of
C$0.15 per share. The
indebtedness relates to professional services rendered to the
Company. The Company determined to satisfy the indebtedness with
common shares to preserve its cash for working capital. The
common shares will be issued upon acceptance by the TSX Venture
Exchange and approval by the directors of the Company. All
common shares issued in satisfaction of the indebtedness will be
subject to a four month hold period from the date of
issuance.
