Calgary, November 21, 2023 – Whitemud Resources Inc. (“Whitemud” or the “Company”)
(TSXV – “WMK”) announces capital program and interim financing.
Whitemud is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has authorized the Corporation to
undertake a capital program for $7 million to reconfigure its kaolin calcination process at its
Wood Mountain facility, whereby a flash calciner and associated upgrades will replace an energy
inefficient rotary kiln. The upgraded calcining process aims to make Whitemud’s metakaolin
much more competitive in the marketplace as a cement additive as well as significantly reducing
carbon emissions.
Whitemud’s major shareholder, SAM Holdings Ltd. has agreed to provide interim funding for this
capital program at a favourable interest rate of 5.0% per annum.
This capital program and interim financing are being undertaken to restart mining and processing
operations, expected to be at the end of the first quarter of 2024.

cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking
statements. Although Whitemud believes these statements to be reasonable, no assurance can be
given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements
included in this news release should not be unduly relied upon. Such statements include
statements with respect to the feasibility of designing a full scale production flash calciner and the
resulting energy efficiency, lower carbon emissions and greater competitiveness in the
marketplace, the statement that the financing being provided is interim implying replacement
financing in the future. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements. The technology may not be sufficiently developed to design the full
scale production flash calciner or such development may not be economical. If developed, such
flash calciner may not achieve the anticipated energy efficiency or reduced carbon emissions. The
product’s competitiveness in the marketplace may not be improved. Alternative financing may
not be available or not available on favourable terms. Results could be impacted by prevailing
economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Whitemud. The
forward-looking statements contained in this news release represent Whitemud’s expectations as
of the date hereof and are subject to change after such date. Whitemud disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
