Star Metro - Boron One Holdings Inc. Advances with Potential Partner

VICTORIA, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2026 / Boron One Holdings Inc. ("Boron One" or the "Company") (TSXV:BONE), a company committed to advancing global decarbonization through the responsible utilization of its boron assets, is pleased to announce that it is progressing through a diligence process with a potential strategic partner that utilizes substantial annual volumes of borate mineral concentrates and derivatives in its industrial operations. The parties are actively evaluating product specification alignment, production planning, and the structure of a multiyear commercial relationship.

"Boron is widely acknowledged as a critical, strategically important mineral, with supply constraints persisting," said Tim Daniels, President of Boron One. "Accordingly, customers are looking to secure their needs through extended offtake agreements or deeper integration into their supply chains. That dynamic strongly supports the position of a new supplier entering the sector."

Additionally, the Company announces that it is undertaking a non-brokered private placement of a minimum of $500,000.00 up to $800,000.00 by the issue of units at a price of $0.04 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one additional common share for a period of 3 years from the date of closing, at an exercise price of $0.05 in the first year, and $0.10 in the second and third years, subject to the Corporation's option to accelerate the expiry date if the stock trades for 10 consecutive trading days at $0.12 per common share for the initial exercise period and $0.22 per common share for the subsequent period.

The Company intends to use net proceeds of the private placement for working capital requirements, including testing and planning with respect to future boron ore extraction, processing and sale.

The company may pay a finder's fee to qualified finders who assist in selling the units, in cash or securities or a combination of both, as permitted by TSX Venture Exchange policy and applicable securities laws.

The private placement is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Tim Daniels, President
