Geomega Receives $2.7M from Exercise of Warrants and Provides Update on Bauxite Residue Opportunity

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - November 19, 2025) - Geomega Resources Inc. (TSXV: GMA) ("Geomega" or the "Corporation") is pleased to provide an update on the recent financial instruments' exercises and observations and takeaways on the growing bauxite residue valorisation opportunity as seen during the ICSOBA and IFCURM 2025 conferences.

Financial Instruments Exercises

Since the beginning of the current fiscal quarter (September 1, 2025), the Corporation has raised $2,728,773 through the exercise of various financial instruments (warrants and options). In addition, some convertible debentures were converted as well. All inclusive, this resulted in the issuance of a combined total of 11,991,819 common shares.

Only 110,000 warrants expired on November 6, 2025. Insiders exercised all their options and warrants that were approaching their expiry as well. All the major shareholders that held warrants exercised and added to their position including Michael Gentile, an important shareholder, an advisor and a strong financial backer of the Corporation. The updated corporate structure is presented in the table below.

"We extend our sincere gratitude to all shareholders for their continued support over the past years and especially in recent months," said Kiril Mugerman, President & CEO of Geomega. "Our mission to develop clean and sustainable processing technologies for some of the world's most challenging mining and industrial residues is both ambitious and complex. Advancing these game-changing solutions takes time, and your patience and commitment remain essential to our progress and long-term success."

Update on Recent Conferences and the Bauxite Residue Opportunity

Geomega's delegation attended and delivered presentations at both the ICSOBA and IFCURM 2025 conferences in China, held between October 26 and November 3, 2025. As part of these events, Geomega's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Pouya Hajiani, presented the Corporation's multi-step processing technology designed to recover bulk metals (Fe, Al, Na) and produce high-value metal concentrates (Sc/REE), while achieving more than a 90% reduction in residue volume. The process also enhances project economics through the generation of multiple marketable off-takes, including caustic soda, DRI-grade iron, and smelter-grade alumina (SGA).

The presentation to leading alumina industry participants emphasised key process objectives: minimising the number of processing steps, maximising reagent recycling, and significantly reducing effluent generation. Bench-scale test results from six bauxite residue (BR) samples sourced from around the world were shared to demonstrate the robustness and versatility of the technology. Importantly, three samples were taken from legacy sites and three from active refineries, underscoring the process's ability to be applied effectively in both contexts.

Dr Hajiani also touched on the primary parameters influencing each extraction stage, their effects on metal recoveries, and the relationship to the BR feed characteristics. The presentation concluded with a summary of techno-economic assessments (TEA) and life-cycle analyses (LCA) completed on all six feed sources.

Later in the conference, Geomega's President & CEO, Mr Kiril Mugerman, together with Dr Laurent Birry, R&D Principal Adviser for Rio Tinto, delivered a presentation on the Bauxite Residue to Resources (BR2R) Project: Extraction of Strategic and Critical Minerals from BR. The presentation highlighted progress from the pilot study completed earlier in 2025 for Circuits 1 and 2, with work on Circuit 3 currently ongoing.

The presentation outlined several key achievements from the pilot study, including the successful production of 20 kg of high-purity and crystalline iron oxide (99.3% Fe₂O₃). In addition, the process demonstrated control over particle size distribution and iron ore speciation during the extraction stage—technical advantages that support an estimated commercial potential of 460 kg of Fe₂O₃ per tonne of BR (dry basis).

The presentation concluded with an overview of the project's next phase: the development of a demonstration plant, recently announced as part of the Company's joint development and demo license agreement.

"It is no secret that the industry is urgently seeking effective solutions to address the growing challenge of bauxite residue," said Mugerman. "This is a critical issue in every region where alumina is produced. As the aluminium industry continues to expand, so does the opportunity, and Geomega is well-positioned to benefit through its technology. The global decline in bauxite quality will only increase both the cost of alumina production and the volume of residue generated per tonne of alumina. These trends will make our technology even more valuable as producers look for new revenue streams to support their operations."

"Geomega's unique approach, which enables the valorisation of both legacy and fresh bauxite residue, significantly expands the total addressable market we are targeting. In addition to advancing work with our existing clients and partners, we look forward to collaborating with the new companies we engaged with over the past several weeks as we continue to advance our technology toward global commercialisation."

Quebec Mines + Energy Conference

Geomega's President and CEO, Mr Kiril Mugerman, will be presenting at the Quebec Mines + Energy 2025 conference in Quebec City on November 19, 2025. Mr Mugerman will be discussing the results of Geomega's work on the new process for recycling hydrochloric acid and its impact on the recovery of rare earth elements and other critical metals from primary and secondary sources.
