Except for such assumed obligations, the Company will not assume any liabilities of the Vendor.The Transaction is expected to close on or about October 1, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions set out in the Asset Purchase Agreement.Completion of the Transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of all required governmental, regulatory and third-party approvals and consents, approval and registration of the transfer of the Permit, delivery of customary closing documents, the accuracy of the parties’ representations and warranties, performance of their respective covenants, and the Purchased Assets being transferred free and clear of all encumbrances, except for permitted encumbrances. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement or at all.The Meadows Project comprises approximately 21,609 hectares across 338 Crown parcels in northwestern Saskatchewan, near the Alberta border. The Permit covers Crown subsurface mineral rights within the Elk Point Group, a geological succession containing thick salt-bearing intervals documented in historical wells surrounding the Project. This regional evidence provides an encouraging basis to explore the Project for salt with potential applications for compressed air energy storage and hydrogen storage. Nearby Cold Lake provides an established energy-industry and regional service centre, while Highway 919 and regional resource roads provide potential access to the Project, with Meadow Lake serving as a regional logistics centre. The presence, thickness, continuity and quality of salt beneath the Permit, and its suitability for cavern development, remain unconfirmed. Further exploration and technical work will be required to evaluate the Project’s potential.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The scientific and technical information regarding the Meadows Project contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Jared Suchan, Ph.D., P.Geo.
