Canada NewsWire

MONTREAL, July 29, 2025

MONTREAL , July 29, 2025 /CNW/ - Further to its announcement on 17 June 2025 , Winsome Resources (ASX: WR1) ( Winsome or the Company ) advises that it has formally terminated the call option agreement ( the Agreement ) entered into with Stornoway Diamonds ( Canada ) Inc. ( Stornoway ) and 11272430 Canada Inc. in respect of the Renard Project.

The Agreement provided Winsome with the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Renard Project and associated infrastructure. As previously disclosed, the Company has been reassessing its strategic priorities in light of evolving lithium market conditions and broader macroeconomic considerations. Following a comprehensive evaluation, Winsome has determined not to proceed with the potential acquisition and has exercised its contractual right to terminate the Agreement in its current form.

The Company remains focused on the advancement of its flagship Adina Lithium Project and continues to monitor sector conditions and assess opportunities aligning with its long-term strategy and capital allocation priorities.

Given the Renard Project remains the most viable option in terms of operations, costs, and logistics, Winsome intends to continue to actively engage with Stornoway , the Quebec and Canadian governments, First Nations and other key stakeholders to explore opportunities to work together regarding the synergies between the Adina and Renard Projects. Winsome believes as long as the Renard site is not sold or rehabilitated, the Renard opportunity remains available to the Company and may be revisited in the future. Winsome will keep shareholders updated with respect to the Renard Project.
