VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Li-FT Power Ltd. (“LIFT” or the “Company”) (TSXV: LIFT) (ASX: LFT) (OTCQX: LIFFF) (Frankfurt: WS0) is pleased to announce, further to the Company’s news releases dated June 24, 2026 and July 14, 2026, that authorization has been received from the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (“MRNF”) for the postponement of rehabilitation and restoration work at the Renard mining site until June 23, 2028. The MRNF authorization was the sole remaining condition for the release of a C$12 million fee in cash (the “Option Fee”) paid pursuant to the binding call option agreement dated June 23, 2026 (the “Option Agreement”) with Stornoway Diamonds (Canada) Inc. (“Stornoway”), 11272420 Canada Inc. (“1127 Canada”) and Deloitte Restructuring Inc. (the “Monitor”), in its capacity as monitor in the CCAA Proceedings (as defined below). The Monitor will now release the Option Fee to secured creditors in accordance with the order issued by the Superior Court of Québec (the “Court”) which approved the Option Agreement.

As previously announced, pursuant to the Option Agreement, LIFT is granted the sole and exclusive call option (the “Option”) to acquire, at its election, the assets comprising the Renard diamond mine, processing facility and associated infrastructure (“Renard”) or all of the issued shares in the capital of Stornoway (the 100% owner of Renard) or 1127 Canada (the 100% owner of Stornoway) (the “Transaction”). A summary of the terms of the Transaction follows.

TRANSACTION TERMS

• LIFT may exercise the Option for C$1.00 at any time during a two-year period ending June 23, 2028, unless extended by the parties (the “Option Period”).
• The Option Period will be used to confirm the technical, economic, environmental, and social feasibility of repurposing Renard for lithium processing, to determine the optimal Transaction structure, and to negotiate definitive acquisition agreements.
• During the Option Period, LIFT is solely responsible for care and maintenance costs (“C&M Costs”) to maintain the Renard mine site in good order (estimated at C$18 million annually), and should LIFT decide to exercise the Option, LIFT will assume full responsibility for closure and remediation of the Renard mine site. In connection with the satisfaction of the release condition resulting from the MRNF authorization, LIFT has advanced C$18 million to the Monitor which will administer and disburse such funds in accordance with a care and maintenance budget reviewed by LIFT.

Should LIFT determine to exercise the Option, the acquisition of Renard remains subject to negotiation and execution of an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) as outlined in the Option Agreement, Court approval of the Acquisition Agreement and receipt by LIFT of all required regulatory approvals associated with the Transaction, including that prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange is required for any material changes to the proposed Acquisition Agreement terms from those outlined in the Option Agreement.

LIFT Engages i2i Marketing Group

The Company further announces that it has engaged i2i Marketing Group, LLC (“i2i”) to provide corporate marketing and investor awareness services (the “Services”), including content creation management, author sourcing, project management and media/print distribution. Under the agreement, LIFT will provide a minimum initial creation and media budget of US$1.4 million, payable in cash and non-refundable upon execution in several installments for a term commencing on October 5, 2026 until the budget has been fully expended. The agreement permits either party to terminate on 10 days’ written notice. The services under the i2i agreement will be provided on behalf of i2i by Kailyn White and Joseph Grubb.

i2i and its principals are arm’s length to the Company and do not have any direct or indirect interest in the Company, or its securities, nor any right or intent to acquire such an interest. The agreement with i2i is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. (CSE: ARGO) (OTCQB: ARLSF) (FSE: 94Y) (“Argo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Dr. Vikas Berry, Chief Executive Officer of Argo, will present at the National Investment Banking Association’s (NIBA) 153rd Investment Conference, being held October 6–7, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Dr. Berry will introduce Argo and its STREAM™ graphene production technology to conference attendees and discuss the Company’s strategy to build a vertically integrated graphene refinery focused on scalable production and commercialization across multiple industrial markets.

STREAM™ was developed by Dr. Berry and Grapherry, Inc. and is exclusively licensed to Argo under an agreement that provides the Company with a contractual pathway to full ownership of the technology and related intellectual property. STREAM™ now provides the technological foundation for Argo’s graphene commercialization strategy.

Following successful pilot-scale production, Argo is advancing STREAM™ toward commercial-scale manufacturing. The Company’s strategy is to establish a vertically integrated graphene refinery capable of producing graphene and graphene oxide materials and developing market-specific products for applications including construction, energy storage, composites and other industrial markets.

Negotiations to secure a commercial facility are progressing, with the Company targeting approximately 10 metric tonnes per quarter of initial graphene production capacity as part of its next phase of development. The Company will provide further updates regarding the facility and commercial buildout as appropriate.
