Vancouver, Canada – Leading Edge Materials Corp . (“Leading Edge Materials”) or (the Company”)

(TSXV:LEM) (OTCQB: LEMIF) is pleased to anno unce that the Company has received conditional

approval for the listing of common shares of Leading Edge Materials (the "LEM Common Shares") on

Nasdaq First North. The approval is subject to completion of customary conditions, such as share price

and the minimum number of qualified registered shareholders in Euroclear. On satisfaction of the

conditions, LEM Common Shares will trade un der the symbol “LEMSE”. The Company’s ISIN:

CA52171T1003 remains unchanged.

A Company Description for Leading Ed ge Materials was prepared in connection with the application for

admission of the LEM Common Shares to trade on Nasdaq First North. The Company Description has

been approved by Nasdaq Stockholm AB, and will be available on Leading Edge Material’s website

shortly.

In corporate news, the Company also advises th at due to work commitments, Nick Demare has

resigned as a Director of Leading Edge Materials but will continue in his role as the Company’s CFO.

Blair Way, President and CEO, stated “The Company is very pleased to have received the conditional

approval for trading on Nasdaq First North. We look forward to working with the Swedish investment

community to grow our business. Furthermore, I note the invaluable contribution of Nick Demare as a

founding Director of Leading Edge Materials, and we look forward to his continued contribution as

CFO”.

Nasdaq First North Stockholm is a logical choice for a dual listing of Leading Edge Materials, to both

expand the Company’s European profile and broaden the European shareholder base. With graphite,

lithium, rare earth and cobalt assets located in the Nordic region, Leading Edge Materials can deliver a

unique opportunity to European investors to take part in the high growth lithium ion battery market.

The potential for wider dissemination of corporate information, increased trading volume and higher

exposure to prospective European customers were considered by Leading Edge Materials in the decision

to dual list, which is anticipated to benefit both existing and new shareholders.

On behalf of the Board,

"Blair Way"
