The UK has entered commercial lithium production for the first time as Geothermal Engineering Ltd (GEL) began operations in its plant at Cornwall, anchoring the government’s hopes of a domestic battery metals supply chain.

The Redruth-based facility marks the country’s first commercial-scale output of lithium, a metal essential for electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems.

Initial production is set at 100 tons per year, with plans to expand to 1,500 tons annually within several years and to more than 18,000 tons over the next decade. That long-term expansion would require an estimated £640 million, or around US$860 million, in additional investment.

Beijing’s use of export restrictions on critical materials last year further sharpened the country’s concerns about supply vulnerability. China currently controls about 60 percent of global lithium processing capacity and dominates much of the downstream battery supply chain.

The UK government has set a target to produce 50,000 tons of lithium domestically by 2035. Demand is expected to surge as electric vehicle adoption expands and grid-scale energy storage grows.

GEL’s project combines lithium extraction with geothermal energy production. The company has drilled nearly three miles underground into granite formations in Cornwall, circulating mineral-rich fluids that are both hot enough to generate electricity and contain dissolved lithium.

The geothermal plant, also switched on this week, will power the lithium extraction process. The excess electricity is also expected to generate enough electricity to supply up to 10,000 homes.

GEL founder Ryan Law said pairing lithium production with geothermal power is critical to cost control. “We can easily compete with what’s coming from China,” Law told the Financial Times.

The project has cost approximately US$67.5 million so far, funded through private investors and US$20.25 million from the European Development Fund. The UK government also provided a US$2.43 million grant, covering half the cost of the initial lithium extraction system.

Cornwall has emerged as the center of Britain’s lithium ambitions. Several companies are working to bring projects online, though timelines have shifted amid volatile lithium prices.

For instance, Cornish Lithium, which has been producing small quantities of lithium hydroxide samples for potential customers since October and is targeting a commercial plant by 2029, had reduced its 2030 production target from 25,000 tons annually to 20,000 tons.

Meanwhile, British refiner Green Lithium has also pushed back the opening of its Teesside commercial facility to around 2029, adopting what co-founder Guy Hatcher called a “more phased development strategy.”

Lahontan Gold (TSXV: LG,OTCQB:LGCXF) is drawing investor attention as it advances toward renewed production at its historic Santa Fe Mine in Nevada. A revised mineral resource estimate is expected soon, offering a potential catalyst, according to a recent report by News Financial.

Highlights:

• Resource update expected imminently
• Santa Fe Mine advancing toward production
• Strong drill results at West Santa Fe project

The Santa Fe Mine, which produced gold and silver from 1988–1994, comes with existing infrastructure and proven mineralization.

“Lahontan will incorporate these new drill holes into an updated MRE for Slab and the entire Santa Fe project. With a new MRE, combined with updated metallurgy and rising metal prices, the company will also complete an updated preliminary economic assessment,” stated CEO Kimberly Ann in the report. The update could significantly reshape market perception of the company’s asset base.

Recent drilling at the nearby West Santa Fe project delivered 36.6 m grading 3.11 g/t Au Eq, including a high-grade interval of 10.7 m at 5.75 g/t Au Eq from surface, highlighting the exploration upside of Lahontan’s satellite assets. These results may contribute to future resource growth and bolster the company’s transition from explorer to producer.

With drilling underway and key technical milestones approaching, Lahontan is positioning itself to move from exploration to development and production. Investors are watching closely, as the upcoming resource update and advancing mine infrastructure may mark the start of a new chapter for the historic Santa Fe operation.

Aterian plc (AIM: ATN), the Africa-focused critical metals exploration company, is pleased to announce the approval of it’s recently commissioned Environmental Impact Assessment (”EIA”) for the 100%-owned Agdz Mining Licence, part of the Agdz (‘Cu-Ag‘) Project (‘Agdz‘ or the ‘Project‘) in the Kingdom of Morocco (‘Morocco‘).

In the current global mining environment, the approval of the EIA represents a major regulatory milestone and materially de-risks the Project as Aterian advances toward systematic drilling and development readiness.

Highlights:

• Environmental Impact Assessment plan approved at the Agdz Cu-Ag Project.
• The Regional Centre of Investment of Errachidia approval represents a key milestone and allows for further project advancement.
• Confirms strong local, regional and national stakeholder support.
• Material regulatory de-risking of the Agdz Project in a tightening global permitting environment.
• Previous drilling has confirmed shallow Cu-Ag mineralisation across multiple prospects, including:
  • 1.24 % Cu with 101 g/t Ag over 3 m from 8 m (downhole) – Makarn (North) prospect
  • 0.45 % Cu with 3 g/t Ag over 11 m from 32 m (downhole) – Makarn (South) prospect
  • 0.79 % Cu with 5 g/t Ag over 6 m from 6 m (downhole) – Amzwaro prospect
• £100,000 raised from existing shareholders to fund project advancement toward development readiness.

Charles Bray, Chairman of Aterian, commented:

‘Securing Moroccan EIA approval for the Agdz Mining Licence is a major step forward for Aterian. In a tightening global permitting environment, being regulatorily cleared to advance a copper project is a significant competitive advantage.

Our focus now shifts decisively to drilling for scale to develop this asset. The objective is clear: expand the mineralised footprint, build toward a defined resource base, and position Agdz as a development-ready copper asset in a jurisdiction with strong infrastructure and mining heritage. The integration of AI-driven geological modelling, through our partnership with Lithosquare, strengthens our targeting capability and enhances capital efficiency as we move into the next drilling phase.

With copper demand structurally rising and permitted projects increasingly scarce, Agdz represents a compelling opportunity. We are especially pleased to hear from existing shareholders seeking to participate in the recent equity placing, allowing the Company to allocate for expenditure to deliver sustained drilling news flow as we advance the Project over 2026.’

Strategic Importance

Permitted copper projects are increasingly scarce globally. With demand driven by electrification and the energy transition, projects capable of advancing without regulatory uncertainty are becoming strategically important.

EIA approval significantly strengthens Agdz’s development pathway and enhances its attractiveness to investors and potential strategic partners. The integration of AI-driven geological modelling through Lithosquare further positions Aterian to deploy capital efficiently and maximise discovery potential as drilling resumes.

Project Summary:

Aterian holds a 100% interest in the 50.4 km² Agdz Copper-Silver Project, comprising the 34.5 km² Agdz licence and the adjacent 15.9 km² Agdz Est licence in central Morocco.

The Project is located in the highly prospective Anti-Atlas Mountains within the Drâa Tafilalet region, approximately 35 km east of Ouarzazate, a well-serviced regional hub with an airport and established infrastructure. The Project benefits from excellent access via paved and unpaved roads. It is situated approximately 40 km southeast of the Noor solar power complex, one of the world’s largest renewable energy facilities.

Agdz is located within Morocco’s highly prospective Anti-Atlas belt, a stable and well-established mining jurisdiction with growing strategic importance for copper supply.

The Agdz Project is situated within a well-established copper-silver mining district, approximately 14 km southwest of the Bouskour copper-silver mine (19 Mt at 1.44 % Cu and 12 g/t Ag Measured & Indicated and 9 Mt at 1.61 % Cu Proven & Probable¹) and within trucking distance of existing mining infrastructure. The world-class Imiter silver mine (192 M Oz Ag Measured & Indicated and 152 M Oz Ag Proven & Probable²) lies approximately 80 km northeast of the Project, with both operations owned by Managem Group. While mineralisation at neighbouring deposits is not necessarily indicative of mineralisation at Agdz, their presence underscores the district-scale prospectivity of the Anti-Atlas Belt.

T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: TWOSF) (WKN: A3DVMD) (‘T2 Metals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce signing of an Option Agreement (the ‘Option’) with renowned explorer Shawn Ryan (‘Ryan’) and Wildwood Exploration Inc. (together with Ryan, the ‘Optionor’) to earn a 100% interest in the 76 sq km Aurora Gold Project in prolific Tintina Gold Belt of the Yukon Territory, Canada.

Aurora is an Intrusion Related Gold System (‘IRGS’) that lies 70 km northeast of Dawson City, is 2 km from the Dempster Hwy at its nearest point, and importantly only 10 km east of Prospector Metals Corp’s ML Project (see Figure 1).

Project Highlights:

• Situated close to Dawson City and adjacent to the Dempster Hwy, the Aurora Mineral Project spans a significant land package within the Tombstone Gold Belt, one of North America’s premier gold and silver mining districts.
• Aurora is geologically similar to the nearby ML Project of Prospector Metals Corp, where recent drilling has identified high grade gold-copper mineralization (e.g. 13.79 g/t Au and 1.84% Cu over 44m).
• The Aurora mineral claims are centred on the Antimony Mountain Stock, a Tombstone Plutonic Suite intrusion similar to other mid-Cretaceous intrusions that are genetically associated with major IRGS deposits in the Yukon and Alaska.
• Six significant gold-bearing prospects have been identified by Shawn Ryan and past explorers over a 10 km trend utilizing soil and rock chip sampling.
• Less than 3,000 m of drilling has been completed at Aurora, with no work undertaken for over 15 years.
• The Golden Wall Prospect has been sampled by past explorers and shows disseminated sulphides and iron oxide over a 400 m cliff face. Up to 61 g/t Au was discovered in outcrop, and Golden Predator drill hole GW10-028 returned 2 m @ 3.2 g/t Au.

Mark Saxon, CEO of T2 Metals Corp., said, ‘The acquisition of the Aurora Gold Project reinforces T2 Metals very strong entry into in the Yukon, built upon foundations laid by explorers Shawn Ryan and Cathy Wood over decades of exploration. Aurora is a well mineralized yet lightly explored mineral project that lies along strike from Prospector Metals’ new ML discovery. They have held the Aurora ground since 2004 and are very pleased to be entrusted with the ongoing exploration of this exciting property.’

Project partner, Shawn Ryan, commented, ‘Aurora is one of the highest prospectivity mineral projects I’ve held in the Yukon, and the nearby success of Prospector Metals reinforces its potential. I’m excited to be working with the T2 Metals technical team to see how this project develops.’

Exploration History

Exploration at Aurora has been intermittent since the first discovery of stibnite veins in 1916, which provided the early name for the area, Antimony Mountain. Notable work programs were conducted by Conwest Exploration (1966-1967), Anaconda Canada (1979-1980), Total Energold (1988-1989), and Kennecott (1994-1998).

More recently, Logan Resources and Golden Predator conducted soil sampling surveys and limited diamond drilling (2005-2011), intersecting significant gold mineralization and defining further high-grade targets at the AJ Vein and Golden Wall prospects (see Table 1 or https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/Occurrence/14772#InfoTab).

Regional Geology

The Aurora Gold Project lies near the western edge of the Selwyn Basin in the northwest of the Yukon Territory. The stratigraphy consists of late Proterozoic to Palaeozoic marginal basinal and platformal clastic and pelitic sediments, intruded by post-accretionary mid-Cretaceous plutons. The Tombstone Plutonic Suite (93-91 Ma) are represented by alkalic monzonites and syenites often associated with intrusion-related gold deposits, most often exposed in the western part of the Selwyn Basin, close to the Tintina Fault (Stephens et al., 2004; Colpron et al., 2011).

Table 1. Aurora Gold Project history, taken from Yukon Geological Survey records.

Property Geology

The Aurora Project is underlain by Late Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian clastic metasediments of the Hyland Group (Yusezyu and Narchilla Formations) which consist of interbedded shale, quartzite, and coarse sandstone. These are transitionally overlain by the Road River Group, comprised of calcareous greywacke, siltstone, and limestone (see Figure 2).

The central part of the project is underlain by the Mid-Cretaceous (93-91 Ma) Antimony Mountain Stock (AMS), part of the Tombstone Plutonic Suite. The stock is an elongate, 7 x 3.5 km body of hornblende syenite to quartz monzonite. It exhibits a porphyritic texture with alkali feldspar phenocrysts and is fringed by a fine-grained diorite phase. Notably, the northern part of the stock is essentially non-magnetic (reduced), while the southern portion is highly magnetic (oxidized), suggesting multiple intrusive pulses.

Aurora is strategically located between the Tintina Fault to the south and the Dawson Thrust Fault to the north, with the Robert Service Thrust situated on the western edge of the property. This regional-scale fault network has provided access for hydrothermal fluids associated with the younger Tombstone-age intrusions.

The property is characterized by isoclinal folding and east-west trending faults that act as local conduits for precious and base metal mineralizing fluids. A massive hornfels aureole extends up to 1 km from the Antimony Mountain Stock margins, where sedimentary rocks are intensely silicified and include finely disseminated pyrrhotite and pyrite, creating prominent iron oxide (limonite, goethite) stained rusty ridges. Skarn/calc-silicate replacement alteration (diopside-epidote-actinolite) is locally developed where the intrusion contacts limey sediments.

Mineralization

The Aurora Gold Project is located 10 km west of Prospector Metals Corp’s ML Project, in the heart of the Tombstone Gold Belt, a region renowned for large-scale Intrusion Related Gold Systems. Much like the ML Project, Aurora overlies and is adjacent to a Tombstone-age intrusion that remains significantly underexplored despite high-grade historical drilling intersections. Both properties demonstrate precious and base metal mineralization with potential for bulk-tonnage porphyry Au-Cu, high-grade Au sheeted veins, and skarn replacement mineralization. The exploration success at the ML Project, characterized by its high-grade copper-gold intersections, provides a compelling geological analogue for the untapped potential at T2 Metals’ Aurora Project.

Six significant gold-bearing prospects have been identified at Aurora by past explorers over a 10 km trend utilizing soil and rock chip sampling (see Figure 3). High-grade quartz-arsenopyrite-tourmaline veins are commonly mapped in fault controlled east-trending orientations. The AJ Vein is the most significant vein mapped to date, traced for over 700 m, with historical intercepts of 28.5 g/t Au over 2.74 m. Other known veins include the JC, Rainbow, TK, and TT showings. The Golden Wall prospect displays stratabound disseminated sulphide (arsenopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite) in calcareous siltstones and quartzites with potential for bulk-tonnage porphyry-style mineralization within the AMS and broad stockwork zones within the contact metamorphic halo.

Next Steps

T2 Metals is now integrating all historical geophysical and geochemical data to refine targets for a comprehensive diamond drilling program. Focus will be placed on the Golden Wall prospect which remains untested, expanding the known mineralization at the AJ Vein, and testing other undrilled gold-bearing prospects.

Option Terms

Subject to receipt of TSX Venture Exchange (‘TSXV’) approval of the Option Agreement, T2 Metals will have the option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Aurora mineral project, for a total consideration of $850,000 in cash and 3,500,000 common shares of T2 Metals to be paid to the Optionor in incremental amounts over a seven-year period, which may be accelerated at the discretion of T2 Metals. An initial cash payment of $75,000 and an initial payment of 400,000 common shares in T2 Metals will be made following TSXV acceptance of the Transaction. All shares issued under the Option Agreement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws.

In order to exercise the Option, T2 Metals is also required to incur exploration expenditures on the Aurora mineral project totalling a minimum of $2,500,000 over eight years, including $100,000 by November 15, 2026. On completion of an NI 43-101 compliant Feasibility Study, $1 per Indicated and Measured resource estimate ounces of gold will be payable to the Optionor. Upon commencement of commercial production on the Aurora mineral project, the Optionor will retain a 2.5% net smelter return royalty on the property with 1% purchasable by T2 Metals for the cash payment of $2,000,000 to the Optionor.

Furthermore, the Company will pay a 5% finder’s fee to an arm’s-length party in consideration for their efforts in introducing the Company to the Aurora opportunity. The finders fee will be paid on the equivalent schedule as payments to the Optionor and is in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The mineral claims are located principally within the traditional territory of the Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin First Nation, which has settled its land claim, and is a self-governing first nation.

About Shawn Ryan

Shawn Ryan is a well-known prospector and entrepreneur in the Yukon’s mineral exploration industry and sits on T2 Metals Advisory Board. He is recognized for his innovative and systematic approach to gold exploration, which has been credited with sparking a ‘second Klondike gold rush.’ Mr. Ryan’s career is marked by a methodical approach to sampling, including development of a novel auger soil sampling technique, a method particularly effective in the Yukon where thick soil layers often obscure bedrock.

Shawn Ryan’s work has led to several significant discoveries including the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits, which became part of the multi-million ounce White Gold Project acquired by Kinross Gold; and the Coffee project, which was sold to Goldcorp (now Newmont Corporation) for $520 million and is now being advanced to production by Fuerte Metals Corp. His contributions to the industry have earned him numerous awards, including the Bill Dennis Award for prospecting from the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC). Shawn’s work is seen as a major factor in modernizing exploration in the Yukon and drawing new attention to the territory’s mineral potential.

About the Tombstone Gold Belt

The Tombstone Gold Belt, a component of the larger Tintina Gold Province, is a highly prospective metallogenic province in the Yukon, with a range of well-known and emerging gold discoveries. The belt is characterized by a suite of mid-Cretaceous, reduced, felsic intrusions known as the Tombstone Plutonic Suite. These intrusive bodies and the surrounding host rocks have created conditions for the formation of numerous Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (IRGS). Exploration efforts have identified multiple mineralized corridors with gold hosted in sheeted quartz veins and disseminated mineralization within both the intrusive bodies and the hornfelsed country rocks.

Gold mineralization in the Tombstone Gold Belt is typically associated with a distinctive multi-element signature that includes bismuth, tellurium, and tungsten, along with arsenic and antimony. Gold-bearing fluids exsolved from cooling intrusions and preferentially deposited gold in brittle, structurally controlled environments. Both high-grade, structurally-controlled vein systems and lower-grade, bulk-tonnage deposits are known. The region hosts numerous significant deposits and is the site of recent discoveries by companies such as Snowline Gold Corp., Banyan Gold Corp., Sitka Gold Corp. and Prospector Metals Corp.

China has moved to freeze exports of rare earth magnets and other critical materials to dozens of major Japanese companies, with the measures to take effect immediately.

China’s commerce ministry said Tuesday (February 24) that it will suspend shipments of so-called “dual-use” goods — referring to materials with both civilian and military applications — to 20 Japanese companies, while placing another 20 groups on a new “watch list,” according to media reports.

Rare earth magnets are essential components in automobiles, electronics and defense systems, and global manufacturers remain heavily reliant on Chinese supply. The immediate export freeze applies to companies linked to defense-related work at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (TSE:7011,OTCPL:MHVYF), Kawasaki Heavy Industries (TSE:7012,OTCPL:KWHIF), IHI (TSE:7013,OTCPL:IHICF) and NEC (TSE:6701,OTCPL:NIPNF).

Meanwhile, firms placed on the watch list will face slower shipments and must pledge “that the dual-use items will not be used for any purpose that contributes to enhancing Japan’s military capabilities.”

Items covered include critical minerals such as gallium, germanium, antimony and graphite, as well as rare earths, magnetic materials and certain advanced manufacturing equipment.

The dispute traces back to remarks in November last year by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who said a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan could pose an “existential threat” to Japan and suggested Tokyo could respond with armed force. Beijing claims sovereignty over Taiwan and has warned it could use force if Taipei resists indefinitely.

The pressure also comes as Japan steps up efforts to reduce its dependence on China for rare earths. Earlier this month, Tokyo announced it had successfully retrieved mineral-rich seabed sediment from nearly 6,000 meters below the ocean near the remote island of Minamitorishima.

The material was recovered by the deep-sea drilling vessel Chikyu as part of a government-backed test program assessing the feasibility of mining rare-earths-bearing mud.

“It is a first step toward industrialization of domestically produced rare earth in Japan,” Takaichi said in a statement posted on X. “We will make efforts toward achieving resilient supply chains for rare earths and other critical minerals to avoid overdependence on a particular country.

China has used rare earths exports as leverage before.

In 2010, following a territorial dispute in the East China Sea, Beijing halted rare earths shipments to Japan, sending prices soaring and exposing Tokyo’s heavy reliance on Chinese supply.

The episode became a turning point for Japan’s resource strategy, accelerating efforts to diversify supply and directly supporting the rise of Australia’s Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC,OTCQX:LYSDY), which has since grown into the largest rare earths producer outside China.

China’s commerce ministry said Tuesday (February 24) it would suspend shipments of so-called “dual-use” goods—materials with both civilian and military applications—to 20 Japanese companies while placing another 20 groups on a new “watch list,” according to media reports.

Rare earth magnets are essential components in automobiles, electronics and defense systems, and global manufacturers remain heavily reliant on Chinese supply.

The immediate export freeze applies to companies linked to defense-related work at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy, IHI, and NEC.

Meanwhile, firms placed on the watch list will face slower shipments and must pledge “that the dual-use items will not be used for any purpose that contributes to enhancing Japan’s military capabilities.”

Items covered include critical minerals such as gallium, germanium, antimony and graphite, as well as rare earths, magnetic materials, and certain advanced manufacturing equipment.

The dispute traces back to remarks in November last year by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who said a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan could pose an “existential threat” to Japan and suggested Tokyo could respond with armed force.

Beijing claims sovereignty over Taiwan and has warned it could use force if Taipei resists indefinitely.

The pressure also comes as Japan steps up efforts to reduce its dependence on China for rare earths. Earlier this month, Tokyo announced it had successfully retrieved mineral-rich seabed sediment from nearly 6,000 meters below the ocean near the remote island of Minamitorishima.

The material was recovered by the deep-sea drilling vessel Chikyu as part of a government-backed test program assessing the feasibility of mining rare-earth-bearing mud.

“It is a first step toward industrialization of domestically produced rare earth in Japan,” Takaichi said in a statement posted on X. “We will make efforts toward achieving resilient supply chains for rare earths and other critical minerals to avoid overdependence on a particular country.

China has used rare earth exports as leverage before.

In 2010, following a territorial dispute in the East China Sea, Beijing halted rare earth shipments to Japan, sending prices soaring and exposing Tokyo’s heavy reliance on Chinese supply.

The episode became a turning point for Japan’s resource strategy, accelerating efforts to diversify supply and directly supporting the rise of Australia’s Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC,OTCQX:LYSDY), which has since grown into the largest rare earths producer outside China.

• The Board believes this Acquisition represents an attractive opportunity to acquire a platform business unencumbered with debt and with scope for organic growth and margin accretion

Cathal Friel, Co-founder and Executive Chair of European Green Transition plc said: ‘I am delighted with this significant milestone in EGT’s strategy that we set out at IPO targeting the acquisition of high-potential, profitable critical infrastructure services businesses. We have been engaging with the management teams of Earthmill and WEP for the last 18 months and are delighted to have completed the acquisition of these businesses at what we believe to be an attractive valuation. The businesses are trusted partners, delivering high quality services to over 900 wind turbines across the UK and Ireland with recurring revenues and excellent near and long-term visibility to deliver significant revenue growth in 2026 and beyond. Furthermore, this platform allows the Company to continue its growth and expansion into related areas such as water, energy, roads, and data centres.

‘We are acquiring these businesses at an exciting time following the removal of the defacto ban on onshore wind in the UK imposed by the Conservative government. This has created a significant and immediate repowering opportunity which involves replacing and upgrading ageing wind turbines. The business has signed approximately 50 heads of terms providing over £19 million of repowering revenue visibility with approximately 280 additional qualified prospects, which is in addition to its core operating, maintenance, repairing, and remote monitoring relationships.

‘We have a new medium-term target of £50 million revenue and double-digit EBITDA margins, as we focus on free cash flow generation to support further strategic growth and ensuring we can pay a progressive dividend going forward. We believe this transaction positions EGT well to deliver value for shareholders going forward.’

Dave Broadbank, Managing Director of the O&M Business, said: ‘This is an exciting moment for both our business and EGT. We have a strong platform, a loyal client base and a huge opportunity ahead of us. Being part of EGT will enable us to move faster and drive long‑term growth, while staying focused on the quality and reliability our clients expect. Having been with the business for 15 years, I’m incredibly proud of the team and what we’ve built, and I look forward to the next phase where we can unlock further potential across all businesses within the Group.’

Background to the Acquisition and the O&M Business

An established & trusted platform in a growing market

The O&M Business provides annually recurring operations, maintenance, repairing and remote monitoring services to over 900 wind turbines together with repeatable retrofit upgrade programmes across the UK and Ireland. It is a trusted partner to its long-standing clients and has an established operational footprint, headquartered in Harrogate (UK) with regional depots supporting operations in Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

The business benefits from an experienced team of 78 professionals with deep sector expertise in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) design, engineering, and asset management. The senior management at the O&M Business will continue in their roles led by Managing Director, Dave Broadbank. The business owns intellectual property for Endurance turbine models and maintains a strategic inventory of OEM (original equipment manufacturer) turbine parts valued at approximately £3.95 million (as at December 2025), ensuring rapid fault resolution and operational continuity. Through Anemos, the majority-owned condition monitoring software technology, clients benefit from predictive maintenance, reduced downtime, and improved energy yields.

Europe is one of the world’s largest wind markets, with about 285 GW of installed capacity expected to approach 450 GW by 2030, driven predominantly by onshore deployment and sustained policy support. As capacity grows and turbine fleets age, the base of assets requiring technical support continues to expand, increasing demand for operations, maintenance, repairing, and repowering services.

Trading history

The O&M Business generated approximately £14.7 million of revenue (2024: approximately £14.4 million) and approximately £0.9 million adjusted EBITDA (2024: approximately £1.5 million) for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (unaudited) across contracted and recurring operating and maintenance (‘O&M‘), repairing, repowering projects, and condition-monitoring revenues. The Acquisition includes approximately £3.95 million of inventory and £2.5 million net working capital.

Strong visibility to deliver significant revenue growth in 2026 and beyond

A core pillar of the O&M Business’s growth strategy is repowering, which involves replacing and upgrading ageing wind turbines with newer, more powerful and efficient models, increasing energy yield and power output. The UK Government’s strategy to accelerate onshore wind development which took effect in summer 2025 has driven a significant and immediate increase in repowering activity, as turbine owners seek to maximise feed-in-tariff revenues. This represents an attractive driver of both near-term project revenues and longer-term contracted, recurring income.

The O&M Business sales pipeline includes signed heads of terms for approximately 50 new repowering projects with average project values of approximately £450k, giving visibility over a possible £19 million repowering pipeline. By 2035, it is expected that over 50% of UK’s current onshore wind capacity will face decisions around repowering, and management have identified approximately 280 qualified repowering prospects in the near future.

This repowering opportunity is in addition to the core operating, maintenance, repairing, and remote monitoring business which delivered £12.8 million unaudited revenue in 2025 across the portfolio of over 900 turbines in the UK & Ireland. These multi-year relationships support recurring and repeatable revenue. Repowering is also often followed by multi-year O&M relationships, further strengthening longer term revenue visibility.

The O&M Business benefits from a favourable cash receipt model, with an element of upfront deposit fees and further cash received in advance of delivery of key milestones.

Medium-term strategy to achieve £50 million revenue and double-digit EBITDA margin

The Acquisition marks a pivotal milestone in the execution of EGT’s medium-term strategy to build a portfolio of revenue generating and profitable businesses in the critical infrastructure sector across the UK, Ireland, and Europe.

The Acquisition provides a platform to achieve EGT’s new medium-term target of £50 million revenue and double-digit EBITDA margins. The Company’s strategy to achieve this includes:

• Delivery of strong organic growth from the O&M Business by expanding the service offering across new and existing client relationships.
• Focus on targeted operational improvements and efficiencies to drive margin expansion.
• Focus on strong free cash flow generation to fund a progressive dividend policy from the first full year following completion of the Acquisition, targeting annual dividend growth of approximately 5%.
• Pursue a disciplined capital allocation policy for small, strategic bolt-on acquisitions to support expansion of services across the critical infrastructure sector in the UK, Ireland, and Europe, such as water, energy, roads, and data centres funded through operating cash flows supplemented by prudent leverage and deferred consideration of 1-2x EBITDA where appropriate.

Financing structure & proposed fundraise

EGT has entered into a binding SPA to acquire the O&M Businesses from the court-appointed liquidators of ACP. The Directors believe the appointment of liquidators to ACP was driven by holding company capital structure constraints rather than any deterioration in underlying performance of the O&M Business which has continued to trade profitably as ACP entered examinership and subsequently liquidation.

The Acquisition will be completed at an equity valuation of approximately £3.5 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis, representing a 2.3x 2024 EBITDA multiple and a 3.9x 2025 adjusted EBITDA multiple, which the Directors believe reflects an attractive entry valuation.

The Consideration for the Acquisition will be funded from the Company’s existing cash balance (£2.3 million, as at December 2025) and the Bridge Facilities to support the accelerated transaction timeline as part of a competitive liquidation process. Further details regarding the Bridge Facilities are set out below.

The Company intends to raise up to approximately £5 million before expenses through a placing of new ordinary shares in the Company to repay the Bridge Facilities and provide additional working capital to support the continued development and growth of the O&M Business. In addition, the Company intends to use certain funds to pursue selective strategic bolt-on acquisitions to expand the Company’s geographic footprint, broaden its service offering and enhance technical capabilities.

£1.5 million of the Bridge Facilities will automatically convert into equity at completion of the Fundraise at the Placing Price. The Company has received a further cornerstone offer of up to £1.1 million from an additional investor to participate in the placing at the Placing Price. The Company has therefore received s offers in aggregate for up to £2.6 million, representing up to 50% of the approximately £5 million placing in advance of the Fundraise.

Further details regarding the Fundraise will be announced in due course. The Company expects to post a circular and Notice of General Meeting, which will contain further details of the proposed shareholder resolutions in relation to the proposed Fundraise.

Principal terms of the Bridge Facilities

In order to facilitate the Acquisition as part of a competitive process with an accelerated timetable, the Company entered into short-term Bridge Facilities totalling £3.0 million which, alongside the Company’s existing cash resources, will fund the £3.5 million Consideration and provide sufficient working capital for the enlarged group.

The Bridge Facilities comprise three separate short-term Facilities:

Facility 1: £1.5 million provided by Roaring Waters, which carries no interest and will automatically convert into equity at the Placing Price upon completion of the Fundraise. Upon completion of the Fundraise, the Company will issue warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company to Roaring Waters equal to 35% of the commitment exercisable at the Placing Price for a six-year term. In the event the Fundraise is not completed within three months following the date of the Facility, the number of warrants issued will increase by 1% per month until the earlier of completion of the Fundraise, or the termination of the facility being 12 months from the date of this announcement.

Facility 2: £1.1 million provided by Raglan Capital an entity of which Cathal Friel, Executive Chair, is also a director. This is a 12 month facility, however it is the Company’s intention to repay this short-term loan following completion of the Fundraise in the coming weeks. The facility is a loan bearing interest of 1.75% per month for the first three months, and 2.5% per month for the remaining nine months, and includes an arrangement fee of 2.25% of the total commitment. The minimum return on the facility is 7.5% of the total commitment. No repayment of Facility 2 is permitted until Facility 1 and Facility 3 have each been repaid in full.

The Company will issue warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company to Raglan Capital equal to 25% of the committed funds, exercisable at the Placing Price for a six-year term (‘Raglan Warrants‘). The Raglan Warrants will only be issued upon completion of the Fundraise.

Raglan Capital, and parties acting in concert with it, are currently interested in approximately 33.5% of the existing voting rights of the Company. Following completion of the Fundraise, and pursuant to Facility 2 detailed above, Raglan Capital will be issued with the Raglan Warrants. Pursuant to the loan agreement between EGT and Raglan Capital, Raglan Capital has agreed not to exercise the Raglan Warrants, if following exercise of the Raglan Warrants, Raglan Capital, and parties acting in concert with it, would hold an interest above 29.9% in the voting rights of the Company or if the exercise of the Raglan Warrants would otherwise trigger, on Raglan Capital, and parties acting in concert with it, an obligation to make a general offer for all of the existing ordinary shares in the Company (not held by them) to be made under Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

Facility 3: £400,000 provided by high net worth investors under separate facility agreements, each with a monthly interest rate of 2.5% and a minimum return of 5% of the total commitments. This is a 12 month facility, however it is the Company’s intention to repay the short-term bridge loans following completion of the Fundraise in the coming weeks. Upon completion of the Fundraise, the Company will issue warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company equal to 25% of the committed funds, exercisable at the Placing Price for a six-year term.

Each of the Bridging Facilities shall be subject to security granted by the Company with Facility 3 ranking pari passu with Facility 1 and ahead of Raglan Capital in the repayment waterfall.

Facility 1 totalling £1.5 million, will convert into ordinary shares in the Company at the Placing Price upon completion of the Fundraise. It is expected that Facility 2 and Facility 3 above, totalling £1.5 million, will be repaid in full from the net proceeds of the Fundraise upon its anticipated completion in the coming weeks.

Related Party Transaction

Raglan Capital holds an interest in 13.8% of the Company’s ordinary shares and is a Substantial Shareholder in the Company as defined by the AIM Rules for Companies (‘AIM Rules‘). Cathal Friel holds an interest in 5.3% of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and is a director of the Company and Raglan Capital.

Entering into the Bridge Facility agreement (Facility 2) with Raglan Capital constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to AIM Rule 13. The independent directors of the Company, being Daniel Akselson, James Leahy, and Michael Kearney, for the purposes of the Bridge Facility agreement (Facility 2) with Raglan Capital having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser, Panmure Liberum, consider the terms of the Bridge Facility agreement with Raglan Capital to be fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders of the Company are concerned.

EGT’s Existing Natural Resources Assets

The Company remains focussed on generating value from its existing portfolio of European mining projects and is actively working to monetise these projects through sale or partnership with third parties in order to realise further value for our shareholders. The Olserum Rare Earth Elements (‘REE‘) project is a district scale REE system in Sweden and has been designated as a project of national importance. EGT completed a successful drill programme at the Olserum REE project in 2024, with the project now well placed to potentially contribute significantly to the supply of REEs in Europe, with both the European Union and national governments actively pursuing strategies to develop domestic supply chains of REEs in Europe. Additionally in 2025, EGT entered into an exclusive option agreement with Recovery Metals Cyprus Limited for the potential sale of the Pajala Copper project in Sweden, with discussions ongoing to progress towards the sale of the project.
