"Today's announcement fits into the major and necessary transformation of the company which began with my appointment as Interim President last November. This agreement with Labyrinth could not have been concluded without the cooperation of our creditors RM2C as well as Material Japan and we thank them for their support. I must also point out that this was the result of the work of Nippon's entire team. I am also very proud of what we have accomplished together. The future of Nippon Dragon Resources has never been brighter and I look forward to very long and successful relationship with Labyrinth" stated Jean-Yves Thérien, Nippon's Interim President and CEO.

Moreover, as the sale of the Projects constitutes a sale of substantially all of the assets of Nippon Dragon, the Company sought and obtained the approval of 66 2/3% of Nippon Dragon's shareholders at its annual and special meeting held on October 28, 2021 (the "Meeting"), where the disinterested shareholders voted to approve of the Transaction and matters ancillary thereto. It should be noted that no finders fee was paid in connection with the Transaction. The Company expects to receive final approval of the Transaction from the TSXV on or around November 11, 2021, following which its common shares will resume trading on the facilities of the TSXV.

Each Warrant shall entitle its holder to acquire one common share of Nippon Dragon for the price of $0.075 per common share.
