NEWS RELEASE OCTOBER 08, 2020
MAWSON GROUP JOINS THE EUROPEAN RAW MATERIALS ALLIANCE
Vancouver, Canada — Mawson Gold Limited (“Mawson” or the “Company”) (TSX:MAW) (Frankfurt:MXR)
(PINKSHEETS: MWSNF) is pleased to announce it has been invited to join the European Raw Material Alliance (“ERMA”).
The newly established ERMA aims to make Europe economically more resilient by diversifying its supply chains, creating
jobs, attracting investments to the raw materials value chain, fostering innovation, training young talents and contributing
to the best enabling framework for raw materials and the Circular Economy worldwide.
The Alliance addresses the challenge of securing access to su stainable raw materials, advanced materials, and industrial
processing know-how. By 2030, ERMA’s activities will increase the production of raw and advanced materials and address
Circular Economy by boosting supporting Europe’s raw materials industry capability, to extract, design, manufacture and
recycle materials. By 2030, ERMA’s activities aim to increase the production of raw and advanced materials and address
Circular Economy by boosting the recovery and recycling of Critical Raw Materials.
ERMA is coordinated by the EIT RawMaterials Knowledge and Innovation Community. EIT RawMaterials was initiated and
founded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technolo gy (“EIT”), a body of the European Union, and the largest
consortium in the raw materials sector worldwide. EIT’s vision is to develop raw materials into a major strength for Europe.
Its mission is to enable sustainable competitiveness of the European minerals, metals and materials sector along the value
chain by driving innovation, education and entrepreneurship.
EIT RawMaterials unites more than 120 core and associate partners and over 180 project partners from leading industries,
universities, research and technology organisations from more than 20 EU countries. Partners of EIT RawMaterials are
active across the entire raw materials value chain: from exploration, mining and mineral processing to substitution, recycling
and circular economy. They collaborate on finding innovative solutions to secure supplies and strengthen the raw materials
sector in Europe.
Michael Hudson, CEO, states: “The EU has identified raw materials as a key enabler for a globally competitive, green, and
digital Europe. Mawson’s 100% owned Rajapalot project in Finland is a significant and strategic gold-cobalt growing resource
and one of Finland’s largest gold resources by grade and contained ounces and one of a small group of cobalt resources
prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 policy within the EU. Consequently, the project has the potential to support Finland’s
and the EU’s desire to source ethical and sustainable cobalt and Mawson is a proud founding member of the ERMA network.”
