Executive Team Appointments to Drive Strategic Value-Creation Plan

28.02.2022  |  The Newswire
Aim to Fast-Track Vertically Integrated Lola Graphite Project into Production SRG Mining Engaging in Strategic Financing Discussions

Montreal, Feb. 28, 2022 - SRG Mining Inc. (TSXV:SRG) ("SRG" or the "Company") today announced the appointment of two experienced senior executives, highlighting its growth and long-term value creation plan. Effective immediately, Matthieu Bos has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and President of SRG and Patrick Moryoussef as Chief Operating Officer.

"These senior executive appointments emphasise the Company's commitment to build upon the current momentum and realise the Lola Graphite Project's enormous growth potential," said Benoit La Salle, Chairman of the Board. "Matthieu and Patrick add significant depth of knowledge and experience in the financing, exploration, development, construction and operation of mines throughout Africa. Based on their successful track records, the Board of Directors has full confidence in their abilities to assemble and lead the team that will construct and operate the Lola Graphite Project in the Republic of Guinea."

Mine-to-Market Solution

The nomination of the executive team coincides with an expansion of SRG's strategic plan to develop its Lola Graphite Project in the Republic of Guinea into a fully integrated supplier of battery anode material to the European market. The integrated business model would result in the creation of a mine-to-market active anode material producer, hosting a large high-purity graphite production mine and concentrator in Africa and a value-added, coated spherical purified graphite ("CSPG") conversion facility in Europe. This strategy would serve the European lithium-ion and fuel cell markets with high-quality, low-cost African graphite, coupled with the supply chain security of a domestic manufacturer supplier.

Under the Company's value-creation plan, the new leadership team has established the following initial goals:

  • Review the SRG development and financing strategy with the aim of bringing the Lola Graphite Project into production.

  • Fast track a preliminary economic assessment (PEA") to confirm the capital and operating costs for a mine expansion, in addition to the construction of a value-added CSPG processing plant to supply lithium-ion battery manufacturers in Europe.

  • Continue discussions with the multiple parties who have expressed interest in providing financing to advance SRG towards first production, either through an equity investment, strategic partnership or offtake arrangement. Binding offtake offers have been received for more than 100% of initial production.

  • Advance and finalize a mining convention in H2 2022 with the Republic of Guinea, a highly prospective mining jurisdiction with which SRG enjoys deep relations.

SRG will provide further comment only if a specific transaction or process is concluded, or if further disclosure is required or deemed appropriate. There can be no assurance that the Company will pursue any transaction or that a transaction, if pursued, will be completed.
