COTEC FORMS SUBSIDIARY, COTEC QUÉBEC, TO ACCELERATE INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES IN THE PROVINCE

Cotec Holdings Corp. has established a wholly owned subsidiary, Cotec Quebec, to accelerate its investment activities in Quebec, Canada. Cotec's core operating model is to establish local companies in the jurisdictions of its assets and investments as part of our license to operate.

Julian Treger, chief executive officer of Cotec, commented: "The establishment of Cotec Quebec demonstrates our commitment to advancing the Lac Jeannine project and pursuing other investment opportunities in the province of Quebec. Cotec will implement a comprehensive engagement plan with strategic partners in the province, including the government of Quebec, local stakeholders, first nations and other interested parties.

Cotec's strategy is to recover the significant economic potential of large historical tailings sites with further potential for enhancement through the deployment of Cotec technologies. Quebec hosts some of the largest historical resources of high-purity iron globally, creating an exceptional opportunity for Quebec to become a global sustainable leader in the green steel supply chain. Cotec Quebec will lead the continuing development of the Lac Jeannine project, which is progressing through its feasibility study and continue to examine further development opportunities in the province that can achieve accelerated project timelines to support the critical minerals supply chain."
