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

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"
