Notes to Editors
FULCRUM METALS - BACKGROUND
About Fulcrum Metals PLC
Fulcrum Metals PLC (AIM: FMET) is an AIM quoted technology led natural resources company
focused on recovery of precious metals from mine tailings (previously milled and processed ore)
in Canada using non-cyanide leaching technology developed by Extrakt Process Solutions LLC and
its associates (together "Extrakt"). The Company's initial projects are the tailing sites of the former
Teck Hughes and Sylvanite mines which are the third and fifth largest producing gold mines in
Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The priority is to deliver a total tailing management concept at the Teck
Hughes site that is capable of scaling across further mine waste sites. In addition, the Company
has interests in a portfolio of highly prospective mineral exploration and development projects in
both Ontario andSaskatchewanCanada.
Fulcrum is in advanced discussions with Extrakt to acquire exclusive licenced use of their proven
disruptive leaching technology on gold mine waste sites over the mining districts of Timmins and
Kirkland Lake. These are two of Canada's biggest gold camps with a history of over 110Moz Au
produced over the past 100 years and more than 70 documented legacy mine waste sites. This
presents Fulcrum with the opportunity to develop into a significant environmentally friendly gold
producer.
