Protium Clean Energy Corp. Enters Agreement to Acquire Emma and Ten O'Clock Property

Protium Diversifies into Strategic Tungsten Assets in Nevada Amid Lithium/Hydrogen Exploration

Executive Summary
  • Protium Clean Energy Corp. entered into a property purchase and sale agreement on June 5, 2026, to acquire the Emma Prospect and Ten O'Clock Mine, two historical tungsten assets in Nevada's Gabbs district.
  • The transaction requires a $200,000 cash payment and the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares to arms-length sellers.
  • The deal is subject to Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) approval and carries a four-month and one-day hold period on the issued securities.
  • Management plans to advance the properties through modern exploration programs, including geological mapping, geophysical surveys, and channel sampling, to capitalize on growing U.S. demand for domestic tungsten.
  • Historical production at Ten O'Clock Hope Mine totaled ~100 tons of ore averaging ~1.0% WO₃ (1954-1955), while the Emma Prospect produced ~3 tons grading ~1.0% WO₃ in 1955.
  • Technical information has been reviewed by an independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Material Impact
  • The acquisition represents a strategic diversification into tungsten, a critical mineral with strong geopolitical and industrial demand, but the financial impact is modest relative to the company's micro-cap status.
  • The $200,000 cash outlay is manageable given the $1.079 million private placement closed in March 2026, though the issuance of 10,000,000 shares represents significant dilution (~55% of current outstanding shares).
  • The news is incremental and aligns with the company's exploration mandate rather than signaling a fundamental shift in operations or revenue generation.
  • No material change to the company's going concern status or immediate liquidity position is triggered by this announcement.
