Adex Mining Appeals Regulatory Action

Adex Mining Inc. has filed an appeal with the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board (NBEUB) regarding the cancellation of Mineral Claim 1505, which hosts the Mount Pleasant mining project. The cancellation was originally issued by the Mining Recorder on July 13, 2026, due to alleged failures to meet required work program expenditures under the Mining Act. Adex asserts the cancellation was inconsistent with prior written guidance and the company's ongoing strategic review process, seeking an interim stay, setting aside of the cancellation, and reinstatement of the claim.

The appeal was lodged with the NBEUB on July 29, 2026. The Mining Recorder cited failures by Adex Minerals to complete sufficient work program expenditures as required under s. 11(1) of the General Regulation – Mining Act, N.B. Reg. 86-98. Adex argues the cancellation was inconsistent with the Mining Recorder's written guidance and the course of dealings during the strategic review process. They claim the Recorder failed to engage with good faith proposals to complete expenditures and imposed arbitrary deadlines.

Adex is seeking several forms of relief, including an interim stay of the Mining Recorder's cancellation, an order setting aside the cancellation notice dated July 13, 2026, reinstatement of the Mineral Claim in the name of Adex Minerals, and directions permitting Adex Minerals to complete required work expenditures. Despite the cancellation, the claim remains in "protected status" under s. 52(4) of the Mining Act pending further engagement regarding a potential transaction.

Adex continues its strategic review process through a Special Committee of independent directors to explore strategic alternatives and potential value-enhancing transactions for the company or the Mount Pleasant project. Adex is seeking clarification on the nature of the protected status and will provide further updates in due course.

Regarding the dispute, the company stated: "Adex asserts that the cancellation is inconsistent with the Mining Recorder's written guidance with respect to required work expenditures and is also inconsistent with the course of dealings Adex has had with officials in the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development with respect to Adex's previously announced strategic review process..."

The company further noted: "Adex believes that the Mining Recorder failed to engage with Adex's good faith proposals to complete the necessary expenditures in a timely manner and acted unreasonably in imposing arbitrary deadlines after eschewing Adex's good faith efforts to comply."
