Additional details regarding changes to the Company's corporate structure, will be provided as they become available. There is no certainty the Company will proceed with the restructuring.
Discussions between the Company and the shareholders of DUMA Engineering (2018) Inc. ("DUMA") have been terminated.

If Minnova and DUMA are unable to conclude the agreement on mutually acceptable terms or find an alternative solution Minnova will seek legal recourse.
The Company's MRE business plan continues to evolve. The Company is pleased to report that it is advancing discussions with a number of gasification technology developers to accelerate our goal of achieving commercial production and revenues.
About Minnova Corp.
Minnova Corp. is an evolving cleantech company building a worldwide pipeline of green energy projects. Our subsidiary, Minnova Renewable Energy, is focused on innovative carbon reduction technologies such as biomass gasification technology. Separately the company is advancing large scale green hydrogen production via electrolysis at its Flin Flon Clean Energy Hub initiative.
Prior to 2021 Minnova Corp. has focused on the restart of its PL Gold Mine, which included completion of a Positive Feasibility Study in 2018. The study concluded the restart of the PL Mine, at an average annual production rate of 46,493 ounces over a minimum 5-year mine life was economically robust. Importantly the global resource remains open to expansion, as does the reserve. The PL Gold Mine benefits from a short pre-production timeline forecast at 15 months, a valid underground mining permit (Environment Act 1207E), an existing 1,000 tpd processing plant, over 7,000 meters of developed underground ramp to -135 metres depth. The project is fully road accessible and close to existing mining infrastructure in the prolific Flin Flon Greenstone Belt of Central Manitoba.
