  • providing an Investor Portal and media coverage, and distributing content through German investor and social media channels, including continuous tailored targeting of mining investor audiences;

  • disseminating frequent information on influential German financial websites with significant investor following;

Regarding cross-listing initiatives, Globe intends to reactivate one or more dormant listings in Germany, including Hamburg, Stuttgart, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Tradegate. By leveraging streamlined market standards for companies listed on qualified international exchanges such as ASX, cross-listing allows for the utilisation of home market reporting to disseminate information in Germany. Admission to these listings is non-dilutive, as it does not require additional capital raising or issuance of new shares. The associated costs for admission and annual maintenance are minimal, amounting to less than $1,000.

While maintaining its primary listing on ASX, Globe recognises the trading benefits for German investors, such as transactions and settlements in Euros, trading within the central European time zone, and the assurance that the cross-listed shares represent the same class of securities as those traded on ASX, with share registry management handled jointly by the Company’s existing share registry (Automic Group) and a German transfer agent.

Grant Hudson, Globe’s CEO commented:

“We've garnered significant interest from prospective investors in Europe. By partnering with Euroswiss and pursuing these German cross-listings, we aim to enhance liquidity and streamline access to share trading for European investors. This appointment is aimed at broadening Globe’s investor base and boosting its visibility in European markets, which aligns well with the global strategic significance of Niobium. This move is poised to facilitate accessing the necessary funds for the Kanyika project development.”

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Grant Hudson.

About the Kanyika Niobium Project

The Kanyika Niobium Project is located in central Malawi, approximately 55km northeast of the regional centre of Kasangu and is secured by Large-Scale Mining Licence No. LML0216/21 which grants the Company security of tenure and the right to mine niobium, tantalum, and deleterious uranium.

The Kanyika opera�ons will produce a pyrochlore mineral concentrate that contains both niobium and tantalum in commercially valuable volumes to be shipped to a refinery for advanced processing into high purity materials.

A Mineral Resource Es�mate for the Kanyika Niobium Project under the 2012 JORC guidelines was reported to ASX on 11 July 2018 as follows:

Standard Niobium oxide is being used in the anodes of fast charging bateries (charging to 100% in less than 10 minutes). These bateries have applica�on in large vehicles that cannot afford excessive charging �me. These include haul trucks, trains, front-end loaders, underground mining machinery etc. They are also being used in bateries for handheld tools where fast charging is an advantage.

High purity Niobium is an integral component of daily-use, energy-related, and specialty technologies such as superalloys (ie, for aircra� engines and rocket assemblies), and superconduc�ng magnets (ie, for medical imaging devices and nuclear power genera�on).

The Kanyika Project aims to be a pioneering and environmentally sustainable niobium venture, priori�sing both innova�on and adherence to ESG principals. It has been shown to be a botom quar�le cost project and is designed to ensure the produc�on of “green Niobium” in that its Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions will be of the lowest in the world, with hydroelectric and solar power domina�ng its power sources for both the mine site and the refinery. The very low carbon footprint is also supported by a unique closed-cycle chlorina�on refining process, which is transforma�ve for the industry.
