Oracle Commodity, Cleantech expand royalty deal

Mr. Jason Powell of Oracle reports ORACLE AND CLEANTECH FURTHER AMEND ROYALTY AGREEMENT TO INCLUDE QUARANT LEASE PROPERTIES IN KENTUCKY, USA Oracle Commodity Holding Corp. and U.S. Fluorspar LLC (USF), Cleantech Vanadium Mining Corp.'s 100-per-cent-owned subsidiary, have executed a second amending agreement effective Oct. 2, 2025, to the net smelter return royalty agreement dated Aug. 11, 2025, as amended Aug. 27, 2025. The second amending agreement expands the royalty agreement to include the Quarant fluorspar project in Kentucky, operated by USF. Under the royalty agreement, as amended, Oracle is entitled to a 2-per-cent net smelter return royalty on minerals produced and sold from the properties included in the royalty agreement, subject to a minimum of $6 (U.S.) per tonne of minerals sold. In consideration, Oracle has agreed to pay USF, upon TSX Venture Exchange approval of the royalty agreement and the second amending agreement, non-refundable cash payments equal to 20 per cent of the cash consideration that USF has paid, pays or will pay to the vendors to acquire the properties under various agreements. For clarity, Oracle is only required to make matching payments once USF has made actual cash payments to the vendors. Failure by Oracle to make a valid matching payment within 30 days of a bona fide request from USF will result in termination of the royalty agreement. In the case of the Quarant fluorspar project, Oracle will pay USF 20 per cent of $210,000 (U.S.) over two years. The schedule of payments is detailed in Cleantech's Quarant acquisition news release dated Oct. 8, 2025. The full terms of the royalty agreement, as amended, are set out in the company's news releases dated Aug. 12, 2025, and Aug. 29, 2025.
