**County Administrative Boards Endorse Norra Kärr Mining Lease Application**

Vancouver, December 3, 2025 – Leading Edge Materials Corp. has received a significant boost for its Norra Kärr rare earth element project in Sweden. The company announced today that the County Administrative Boards (CABs) of Jönköping and Östergötland have endorsed the mining lease application submitted by its wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary, Greenna Minerals AB.

This endorsement (Swedish: Tillstyrker) marks a crucial step forward in the permitting process for the Norra Kärr project, a deposit known for its significant potential to produce rare earth elements, which are essential components in various high-tech applications, including electric vehicles, wind turbines, and consumer electronics. The CABs play a vital role in assessing the environmental and societal impacts of proposed mining operations within their respective regions.

The endorsement from both CABs signals their approval of Greenna Minerals' proposed plans, indicating that the company's application has adequately addressed concerns related to environmental protection, land use, and other relevant factors within the counties. While this endorsement is a positive development, it is not the final step in securing the mining lease. The application will now proceed to the next stage of the permitting process, where it will undergo further review by relevant Swedish authorities.

Leading Edge Materials views this endorsement as a testament to its commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices. The company has emphasized its dedication to minimizing environmental impact and maximizing the benefits of the Norra Kärr project for the local communities. The company believes that the Norra Kärr project has the potential to become a significant source of rare earth elements, contributing to the growth of green technologies and reducing Europe's reliance on foreign sources for these critical materials. The company, traded on the TSXV (LEM), Nasdaq First North (LEMSE), OTCQB (LEMIF), and FRA (7FL) exchanges, continues to work closely with local stakeholders and regulatory bodies to ensure the responsible development of the Norra Kärr deposit.
