ZUG, SWITZERLAND – EQS Newswire – 20 December 2021 – Further to the announcement made by the Company on 26 August 2021, the Company announces that on 19 December 2021 its wholly owned subsidiary SunMirror S.A. (“SM S.A. “) has entered into a bid implementation agreement with Latitude 66 Cobalt Limited (“Lat66”) (“BIA”) in connection with the proposed offer to acquire the issued share capital of Lat66, the parent company of Finnish cobalt company at a price of AUD0.467 per Lat66 share (“the Offer”).

Under the terms of the BIA, SM S.A. and Lat66 will lodge their respective bidder’s and target’s statements made in connection with the Offer on 22 December 2021 with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and despatch those statements to Lat66’s shareholders. Assuming the required level of acceptances is received from the recipients of the offer and acceptance of those holding performance rights in respect of ordinary shares in Lat 66 of an offer to acquire those performance rights at a price equal to that offered to Lat66’s shareholders, and subject to other conditions being satisfied, the timetable for completion of the Offer and completion of the entire issued share capital of Lat66 plus all performance rights is as follows:

The total purchase price which would become payable to Lat66’s shareholders and the holders of performance rights on completion of the Offer is AUD 69,116,000.

Explanatory Note

SunMirror, which has prospective resource projects in Australia, expands its market presence through the acquisition of Lat66 and is able to supply the European economy with cobalt and other critical commodities and metals such as lithium from sustainable, stable and legally secure sources in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and ESG requirements. With the acquisition of Lat66, SunMirror is excellently positioned to act as a strategic partner to the European economy, supplying raw materials for digital transformation.

Demand for critical raw materials such as cobalt and lithium has been growing rapidly for years. Drivers of this demand include new technological developments such as electromobility. Recently, the European Union (‘EU’) reaffirmed, as part of the launch of its European Green Deal, that a lack of access to critical raw materials or over-dependence on single suppliers would undermine Europe’s ability to be an industrial leader in new technologies. In order to achieve the EU’s goal of climate neutrality, it is important not to create new dependency on uncertain third countries for these critical raw materials in terms of legal certainty, working conditions and environmental standards.

About SunMirror AG

The Group invests into strategic mineral exploration assets with a focus on sustainable green battery metals, like cobalt, lithium, and nickel, as well as iron ore and gold deposits in developed markets. The company aims to either produce minerals at a later stage or sell those assets to strategic buyers. SunMirror is differentiated by taking a ‘mine-to-market’ approach to sustainability across the value chain, creating a mining industry ‘best practice.’ The company’s shares (ISIN CH0396131929) are listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange (ticker: ROR1) as well as on Xetra and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ticker: ROR).

PETROZAVODSK, KARELIA – Media OutReach – 20 December 2021 – Recently, Minto announces to increase BTCMT token holders’ rewards by tokenizing new mining power. In preparation for this major point in the project timeline, the Minto DApp has already been added to such popular wallets as BitKeep, Huobi Wallet, and TokenPocket. Now users may use the Minto DApp with maximum convenience by simply selecting it in the favorite wallet!

BitKeep bringing Minto tokens at fingertips!

BitKeep is a convenient wallet app that supports almost all known blockchains and several thousand different coins, and is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive decentralized multi-chain wallets in America, Europe, Russia, Japan, South Korea, and China, integrating wallet, cross-chain, DeFi, Dapp and NFT. BitKeep aims to become the world’s largest decentralized service provider, bringing the blockchain lifestyle to fingertips!

The Minto team emphasizes that BitKeep is an essential part of the HECO ecosystem. Thus, thanks to this partnership, the project’s clients are getting another opportunity to save, transfer and convert their savings earned through staking BTCMT tokens inside the Huobi Eco Chain in the most convenient manner. At the same time, one of the key features of the BitKeep wallet is the new BKswap service, which allows clients to convert digital assets between various blockchains. The Minto team is making every effort to ensure that the BTCMT token appears in BKSwap in the very near future!

IDO on WeStarter in the nick of time to get the Minto token at an attractive price

IDO is the second step in the process of increasing the project hashrate. On December 20, Minto is launching an IDO on the site of another Huobi ecosystem member, WeStarter. Users can still join in! WeStarter is the most popular HECO-based cross-chain initial token  swap platform  and a kind of accelerator for DeFi projects. Due to its simplicity and versatility, WeStarter provides additional resource requirements for a wide range of asset types and offers developers ample opportunities for their distribution, while remaining completely decentralized. Minto is confident of a major success of the IDO on WeStarter, since the IDO held a week earlier on the MMPro platform brought more than 300 new token holders to the project!

Minto tokens come of age with MDEX listing

Finally, after the IDO on WeStarter, the Minto project will be listed on the MDEX exchange, which supports the decentralized BSC, HECO and ETH cross-chain transaction protocols  and ranks first in the DEX rankings by CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. This will make the purchase of BTCMT tokens even more convenient and simple. This offering is the most anticipated by all bitcoin mining enthusiasts, since  the Minto token is finally turning into a full-fledged financial asset, and now people can not only profit from its staking, but also freely trade it on the market and enjoy all the other advantages of the new DeFi-economy!

Minto strives to create value for its clients not only by generating revenue, but also by providing a wide range of opportunities as the entire crypto industry develops. All these steps will allow us to increase the number of BTCMT token holders, bring the tokenization of new computing power closer, and boost Minto clients’ income accordingly. Minto sets goals and consistently achieve them!

About Minto

Minto is a digital currency project where merchants and consumers can get rewards in BTC via staking its BTCMT hashrate token. Minto launched a high-tech 65-MW data center in the advanced development territory in the Republic of Karelia in northern Russia on the premises of an abandoned aluminum plant. Minto plans to increase the data center hashrate to 120 MW, creating more than two hundred permanent jobs.

The Minto team pays close attention to the energy industry and uses only renewable resources. The energy of hydroelectric power plants allows the project to minimize the carbon footprint of mining. Minto emphasizes the combination of high profitability of mining and respect for the environment that allows it to invest boldly in the construction of the new clean data centers and create a reliable infrastructure for further steady development.
