Reflex Advanced Materials Corp. Completes Acquisition of Ruby Graphite Project Option

The Ruby Graphite project is located at the southwest portion of the Ruby Range mountains in southwestern Montana, approximately 14 miles (22 km) southeast of the town of Dillon, Montana. The Ruby Graphite project area consists of a combination of private and public lands totaling 1,944.76 acres (787.02 hectares) and includes 96 lode mining claims with a total size of 1,763.82 acres (713.80 hectares). Each lode claim is for vein-type deposits and the rights to explore, mine and extract minerals from the claim.

Paul Gorman, CEO of Reflex Advanced Materials, commented, "we are extremely pleased that the Company was successful in completing this acquisition for such incredible value. Especially since the Ruby project is a past producing mine, in an extremely friendly mining jurisdiction, and that graphite has been added to the United States Critical Minerals List. The North American demand for strategic minerals such as lithium and graphite is growing annually and Reflex is well positioned to take full advantage of these opportunities."

Pursuant to a securities exchange agreement dated September 16, 2022 (the "Agreement") among Reflex, Broadstone Resources Inc. ("Broadstone") and a subsidiary of Broadstone ("Subco"), Reflex acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Subco in consideration for the issuance of 2,750,000 common shares of Reflex (the "Consideration Shares") to Broadstone and cash consideration of $294,628.26 (the "Acquisition"). In connection with the Acquisition, Subco assigned its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Ruby Graphite project to Reflex (the "Ruby Option").

The Ruby Option is exercisable to acquire a 100% interest in the Ruby Graphite project subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty and a balloon payment of $3M on the commencement of commercial production. To fully exercise the Ruby Option, Reflex will be required to issue an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares to the optionor on the occurrence of certain project milestones, incur an aggregate of $1.325M in exploration expenditures on the project and pay aggregate cash consideration of $1M to the optionor, as more particularly described in the Reflex news release dated September 20, 2022.

In addition to a statutory hold period of four months and one day, the Consideration Shares are subject to a 24-month lock-up pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, with 20% of the Consideration Shares released from lock-up on closing of the Acquisition and an additional 10% released every 3 months thereafter.
