Osiris One Metals Executes Definitive Agreement to Divest the Urgakh Naran Project

Osiris One is divesting its Mongolian lithium asset to refocus on the Western Range copper-silver project.

Executive Summary

Osiris One Metals Ltd. has entered a definitive agreement to fully divest its Urgakh Naran Project in Mongolia by selling all outstanding shares of its wholly owned subsidiary, ION Energy LLC. The company will receive a lump sum of US$200,000, net of liabilities, from the purchaser.

Osiris One retains its 20% free carried interest in the Victory Copper Gold Project in Mongolia, which is being advanced by Trinity One Metals Ltd. The divestiture is part of a broader corporate refocusing strategy to concentrate on the Western Range Silver-Copper Project in Western Australia. Closing is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Material Impact

Osiris One Metals Ltd. (OSM) has completed a transaction to clean up legacy assets after joint venture partner SureFQ Hong Kong withdrew in February 2026. The company received US$200,000 in cash consideration, an amount immaterial to its approximately $4.16 million market capitalization and operating budget. This move aligns with management’s stated pivot away from Mongolian lithium brine exploration toward the Western Range project, which closed in June 2026. The transaction is expected to streamline the balance sheet, with the market likely having already priced in the exit following the prior partner withdrawal and the company's strategic shift.
