Joint Venture Between ScanMag AS and Nevada Clean Magnesium Lapses

The original JV agreement has been extended on 2 different occasions to allow ScanMag's management time to raise the funds necessary to meet their commitment to NCM. The latest request for a further extension came following the deadline of December 18, 2016. After receiving NCM's terms to grant a 3rd extension, ScanMag at their Board meeting of February 7, 2017 requested a further 6 month extension with no financial compensation to NCM other than as provided in the original JV agreement. The NCM Board deemed this unacceptable, thus allowing the JV agreement to lapse and be of no further validity.

Further, the Company accepts Lothar Maruhn's resignation from the NCM board.

Edward Lee, Director and CEO stated "Our company has been steadily moving forward while waiting for ScanMag to meet its commitment. A further extension would divert NCM's focus from our primary goals of raising capital and verifying our proof of process. The technical work completed to date is invaluable, and we have advised ScanMag that they may re-engage discussions with NCM when they have secured funding. We wish ScanMag well in their endeavours."
