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.
