Arctic Minerals has entered into a non-binding letter of intent regarding the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Katterat mineral property for a consideration of mNOK 1.95 (kEUR 198).

At Katterat, gold has been found in outcropping bedrock in multiple locations.  Rock chip samples have returned assays from 0.9 to 18 grams per ton gold.  Visible gold grains have also been panned from soil samples.  The gold mineralisation is located along a geological structure known as a shear zone, a favorable setting for gold mineralisation.  The shear zone has been traced for several kilometres using a combination of geological fieldwork and geophysical data.  Arctic Mineralsmanagement believe that the geology and mineralisation in the Katterat area may be comparable to the "Gold Line" in northern Sweden, which hosts several large gold deposits such as Barsele (2.1 million ounces contained gold) and Fäboliden (1 million ounces), as well as the currently producing Björkdal mine and past-producing Svartliden mine.

Fieldwork is planned to be carried out during the third quarter and includes further geological sampling and mapping, as well as a geophysical survey.

The Katterat gold project has been located and developed by Mr. Ragnar Hagen and Dr. David Charles Ettner. Mr Hagen and Dr. Ettner have extensive background from mineral exploration and production in Norway as well as international. They will both be at Arctic Minerals disposal going forward focusing on the further development of the Katterat gold project.

Comment from CEO, Jonatan Forsberg

We are delighted with the opportunity to acquire the Katterat gold project. We believe that the Katterat area has the potential to host a significant gold deposit. The widespread occurrence of gold in bedrock is very encouraging and we look forward to starting fieldwork this summer. We also look forward to have Mr. Hagen and Dr. Ettner at our disposal going forward to further develop the Katterat gold project.

According to the letter of intent, mNOK 0.05 shall be paid in cash and mNOK 1.90 shall be paid in shares in Arctic Minerals (the "Consideration Shares"). The number of Consideration Shares shall be calculated by dividing mNOK 1.90 with SEK 0.60 (i.e. the quota value of the shares in Arctic Minerals).The quota value of SEK 0.60 equals a premium of approximately 8 percent compared with the closing price on the trading day preceding the signing of the LOI. Through an issue of the Consideration Shares the number of shares and votes in the Company will increase by up to 3,302,520, entailing a total number of shares and votes in the Company of 152,221,197. An issue of the Consideration Shares corresponds to a dilution of approximately 2 percent, based on the number of shares and votes in the Company after the issue.

In the event that Arctic Minerals and the Sellers enter into a binding share purchase agreement, the transaction is expected to be completed during the third quarter 2022 as it is subject to approval of transfer of permits by DMF (the authority in charge of mineral rights in Norway).

In the event that a binding share purchase agreement is not entered into no later than 30 September 2022, the letter of intent ceases to apply.
