The Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE” or “Exchange”) will publish a bulletin confirming the name change, subdivision and reservation of the symbol ACDC for the Company, however trading in the Company’s shares remains halted pending completion of its previously announced acquisition of several battery metals mining claims from Marifil Mines Ltd.

Shareholders do not need to take any action with respect to the Subdivision.

(“RichPower”) to acquire (the “Battery Technology Acquisition”) the exclusive North and South American rights to a broad set of applied technologies and solutions for battery management systems, energy storage technology applications and battery safety applications developed by RichPower (the “Technologies”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will also be granted non-exclusive rights to sell the Technologies in Europe and Africa. Completion of the Battery Technology Acquisition is subject to further detailed due diligence as well as the signing of a marketing and development plan, which the Company hopes to complete in the coming weeks. Further details respecting the Agreement will be provided in a separate updating news release. Full disclosure of the Company following the Fundamental Change reflecting the Properties Acquisition and the Battery Technology Acquisition will be provided in a CSE Form 2A Listing Statement prior to the resumption of trading.
