Promotional Activity

On March 4, 2025, OTC Markets informed the Company that it became aware of certain promotional activities concerning American Tungsten and its Common Shares, including the distribution of digital marketing materials by Emerging Markets Consulting, LLC (“EMC”). These materials discussed the Company’s projects, its business model, and the tungsten industry in general. The marketing materials also contained publicly available information and summaries of recent press releases issued by the Company.

EMC is an arm’s-length third-party marketing firm engaged by American Tungsten to provide investor relations and public awareness services. The engagement was publicly disclosed in a press release dated March 3, 2025. Under this agreement, EMC is compensated $275,000 USD for a three-month term to provide corporate marketing, investor awareness, and advertising services.

The Company provided EMC with publicly available information for marketing purposes and reviewed the materials for factual accuracy before dissemination.
