Almadex Announces Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to

provide an update on its involvement in the international arbitration proceedings against the United Mexican

States (“Mexico”) under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans -Pacific Partnership

(“CPTPP”) discussed in our press releases of December 14, 2023, March 14, 2024, and June 1 7, 2024.

The Company has recently signed with Almaden Minerals Ltd. (“Almaden”) agreements which will

strengthen and streamline the corporate management of the arbitration process.

Litigation Management Agreement

The Company and its Mexican subsidiary have agreed with Almaden and its Mexican subsidiary to

streamline the management of the arbitration proceedings by entering into a Litigation Management

Agreement (“LMA”). Under the LMA, Almaden will bear the up -front costs of the arbitration and provide

overall direction to the arbitration process for itself and its subsidiaries, as well as Almadex and its

subsidiaries, with certain limitations . Almadex will remain a party to the arbitration and continue in its

cooperation and support of the process. In its press release of today, Almaden announced that it has

secured litigation funding in the amount anticipated to be needed to fully prosecute the arbitration

proceedings.

Should the arbitration proceedings result in an award of damages, the pro rata portion of those damages,

if any, which may be attributable to Almadex from the 2.0% NSR royalty it held on the Ixtaca project will be

determined. Almadex’s award will consist of this pro rata portion, less the Company’s pro rata share of the

costs of pursuing the legal claims, including the financing costs (the “Almadex Award”). Almadex will

compensate Almaden in the amount of 10% of the Almadex Award in exchange for Almaden managing the

claim proceedings.

Gold Loan Amendment

Almadex also reports that it has agreed with Almaden to extend the maturity of the gold loan (see press

release of May 14, 2019) from March 31, 2026 to the earlier of March 31, 2030 or the receipt by Almaden

or its subsidiary of any amount relating to its legal claims against Mexico.

In return for this amendment, in addition to its obligation to repay the gold loan, Almaden has agreed to pay

the Company 2.0% of the gross amount of any damages that it may be awarded from the legal claims, such

repayment to be subordinate to amounts due under Almaden’s litigation funding agreement , and any

additional legal and management fees.

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “ These agreements provide us with exposure to an

award that may be forthcoming from the legal claims, without the requirement to contribute any money

going forward, and thus are similar to the royalty that we used to hold on the Ixtaca project .”
