Information and Explanation of the Issuer to this News:
Explanatory Note
SunMirror, which has prospective resource projects in Australia, expands
its market presence through the acquisition of Lat66 and is able to supply
the European economy with cobalt and other critical commodities and metals
such as lithium from sustainable, stable and legally secure sources in
compliance with applicable laws, regulations and ESG requirements. With
the acquisition of Lat66, SunMirror is excellently positioned to act as a
strategic partner to the European economy, supplying raw materials for
digital transformation.
Demand for critical raw materials such as cobalt and lithium has been
growing rapidly for years. Drivers of this demand include new
technological developments such as electromobility. Recently, the European
Union (‚EU‘) reaffirmed, as part of the launch of its European Green Deal,
that a lack of access to critical raw materials or over-dependence on
single suppliers would undermine Europe’s ability to be an industrial
leader in new technologies. In order to achieve the EU’s goal of climate
neutrality, it is important not to create new dependency on uncertain
third countries for these critical raw materials in terms of legal
certainty, working conditions and environmental standards.
