Bulletin from Extraordinary General Meeting in Bluelake Mineral
The shareholders of Bluelake Mineral AB (publ) ("Bluelake" or the "Company") have held an Extraordinary General Meeting on January 31, 2025 (the "EGM") whereby the following main decision was made.
Decision on approval of the board's decision on a directed issue of shares
The EGM decided to approve the board's decision dated April 2, 2025, regarding the issue of 3,214,620 shares (the "Directed Share Issue") of which 1,375,310 shares shall be subscribed for by the Company's board member and CEO Peter Hjorth, 460,000 shares shall be subscribed for by Gradisca Invest AB (a company wholly owned by Peter Hjorth) and 1,379,310 shares shall be subscribed for by Upscale AB (a company wholly owned by board member Jonas Dahllöf). Through the Directed Share Issue, the Company's share capital can increase by a maximum of SEK 321,462.
Each share is issued to a subscription price of SEK 0.87 per share. The entire premium shall be taken to the free premium fund. The subscription price corresponds to the subscription price in the directed share issue resolved by the board on April 2, 2025 supported by an authorization from the Annual General Meeting held on May 16, 2024 and corresponds to 90 percent of the Company's volume-weighted average price (VWAP) during the ten (10) last trading days before the decision date for the Directed Share Issue. The Board of Directors believes that the subscription price has been determined in such a way that marketability has been ensured, and that the subscription price reflects prevailing market conditions and demand for the Company's shares.
Before the Directed Share Issue, the Company's Board of Directors has made an overall assessment and carefully considered the possibility of raising capital through a rights issue. The Board of Directors considers that the reasons for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights are to (i) strengthen the Company's shareholder structure through qualified and long-term shareholders with a strong capital base and with a keen interest in industry development in the Trøndelag region (ii) a rights issue, compared to a directed new share issue, would take significantly longer to implement and entail a higher potential risk for a substantial negative effect on the share price, and (iii) the implementation of a directed new share issue can be made at a lower cost and with less complexity than a rights issue and in the light of market volatility, the Board has assessed that a rights issue also entails a risk of not becoming fully subscribed and would require significant guarantee commitments from a guarantee consortium, which would result in additional costs. Taking into account the above, the Board has made the assessment that the Directed Share Issue, together with the directed share issue resolved by the board on April 2, 2025, with deviation from the shareholders 'preferential right is the most advantageous alternative for the Company, creates value for the Company and is in the Company's shareholders' best interest.

General information about the Company
Bluelake Mineral AB (public) is an independent Swedish company active in exploration and mine development of copper, zinc, nickel and gold resources.
The Company owns approximately 99% of the subsidiary Vilhelmina Mineral AB, which is focusing on development of copper and zinc deposits in the Nordic region. In Sweden, the Company owns Stekenjokk-Levi project, where a total of approximately 7 million tonnes of ore were mined between 1976 and 1988 with an average grade 1.5% Cu and 3.5% Zn. Stekenjokk-Levi is, according to a recent Mineral Resource Estimate by SRK Consulting, containing inferred mineral resources of approximately 6.7 million tonnes with 0.9 % Cu, 2.7 % Zn, 0.6 % Pb, 55 Ag g/t and 0.2 g/t Au for Stekenjokk and inferred mineral resources of 5.1 million tonnes with 1.0 % Cu, 1.5 % Zn, 0.1 % Pb, 22 Ag g/t and 0.2 g/t Au for Levi (at a NSR cut-off of 60 USD/t). In Norway, the Company is owner of Joma Gruver AS which holds exploitation rights for the Joma field, where approximately 11.5 million tonnes of ore were processed between 1972 and 1998 with an average grade of 1.5% Cu and 1.5% Zn. The Joma field (excluding Gjersvik) is, according to a recent mineral estimate by SRK Consulting, containing indicated mineral resources of approximately 6 million tonnes with grades amounting to 1.00 % Cu and 1.66 % Zn and inferred resources of 1.2 million tonnes with grades 1.2 % Cu and 0.7 % Zn (at cut-off of 50 USD/t).
In addition, the Company holds exploitation concessions for the nickel project Rönnbäcken (which is Europe's largest known undeveloped nickel resource) and an exploration permit for Orrbäcken, both which are located in Sweden. According to a recently updated mineral resource update in by the mining consulting company SRK, the Rönnbäcken project contains a mineral resource of 600 million tonnes with an average grade of 0.18% Ni, 0.003% Co and 5.7% Fe ("measured and indicated"). The updated preliminary economic assessment that SRK completed predicts a production of 23,000 tonnes of nickel, 660 tonnes of cobalt and 1.5 million tonnes of iron per year for 20 years, which would be a significant share of Sweden's total annual use of nickel which thereby has a strategic value. Orrbäcken is considered to have potential as a nickel deposit.
Further, the Company holds an exploration permit for Kattisavan which is considered to have potential as a gold resource and is located within the so-called gold line, close to projects such as Svartliden, Fäboliden and Barsele.
