Brownfield graphite mine redevelopment demonstrates an after-tax IRR of 67%, and payback period of 1.3 years

TORONTO, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global Battery Materials Corp. (“GBM” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated critical minerals and technology company focused on developing secure North American graphite and advanced anode material supply chains, is pleased to announce the positive results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) prepared by WSP Canada Inc. (“WSP”) for its Kearney Graphite Project (“Kearney” or the “Project”), located in northeastern Ontario, Canada. The PEA evaluates the restart of the prior-producing Kearney Mine, leveraging existing infrastructure to provide a secure source of graphite for the North American battery supply chain.

The PEA prepared by WSP and independent Qualified Persons (“QP’s”) confirms the strong economics for the Kearney Graphite Project, with a post-tax NPV(8%) of USD$183 million, 67% internal rate of return (“IRR”), and 1.3-year payback. The brownfield redevelopment project benefits from several characteristics, including existing historical infrastructure, transportation access, and previously disturbed industrial footprint, which collectively contribute to a comparatively reduced capital intensity, and accelerated development potential.

The PEA economics are built on the sale of graphite concentrate, industrial graphite products, and upstream battery materials—established product categories with strong and growing demand across North American industrial, defence, energy storage, and battery supply chain markets.

Notes: The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with 2014 CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resource Estimate effective date is June 1, 2026.

PEA HIGHLIGHTS

The PEA demonstrates robust economic parameters for the Kearney Graphite Project, supported by modest initial capital requirements, rapid payback, and substantial long-term cash generation potential, all within a brownfield redevelopment context that benefits from existing on-site infrastructure.

On an after-tax basis, the Project generates a post-tax NPV(8%) of approximately USD$183 million, an IRR of approximately 67%, and a payback period of approximately 1.3 years. The Project is anticipated to generate cumulative after-tax cashflows of approximately USD$421 million over its approximately 20-year mine life.

Initial capital expenditures are estimated at approximately CAD$65.9 million and include selective refurbishment of existing site infrastructure, modernization of processing facilities, development of a micronization facility, and indirect costs, contingency, and owner’s costs. Sustaining capital expenditures are estimated at approximately CAD$30.9 million over the life of mine.

The assessment contemplates a phased operational strategy designed to leverage existing site infrastructure while supporting future optimization opportunities, including a planned transition from diesel generator power to a regional 44 kV overhead grid connection. Operating costs are estimated at approximately CAD$31.35 per tonne milled during the initial diesel-powered phase and are expected to decrease to approximately CAD$25.50 per tonne milled following the future grid connection. The financial model assumes an exchange rate of CAD$1.40:US$1.00 for the full life of mine.

The proposed operation envisions the redevelopment of Kearney as a conventional open-pit mining operation using contractor truck-and-shovel methods. Mineralized material would be processed through a flotation concentrator designed to produce a premium graphite concentrate at approximately 95% graphitic carbon. The study further contemplates the sale of approximately 50% of annual concentrate production to higher-value industrial and advanced materials markets while supporting the development of secure North American critical mineral supply chains.

Located in Ontario, one of the world’s premier mining jurisdictions, the Project benefits from access to transportation infrastructure, a skilled labour force, electrical power, and a well-established regulatory environment.

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Kearney Graphite Project was prepared by Brian Thomas, P.Geo., of WSP, with an effective date of June 1, 2026, in accordance with 2014 CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves.

Key Assumptions, Parameters, and Methods: Mineral Resources are reported at an open pit-constrained cut-off grade of 1.0% Cg, based on a graphite concentrate selling price of CAD$2,155/t, a USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.39, a process recovery of 89.4%, a mining cost of CAD$4.20/t mined, and a processing cost of CAD$13.92/t milled. The Mineral Resources were estimated by ordinary kriging. McGuire Indicated Mineral Resources are supported by 12 NQ drill holes completed in 2013 combined with 126 historical holes confirmed through a verification program. Sheehan Mineral Resources are classified as Inferred due to insufficient quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) documentation of historical drill data. No Mineral Reserves have been declared. Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. Rounding may result in apparent summation differences.

Known Risks: Key risks that could materially affect the potential development of the mineral resources include: (i) partial reliance on historical drill data with limited original QA/QC documentation, particularly at Sheehan; (ii) historical McGuire assay values averaging approximately 15% higher than 2013 verification assays, introducing grade uncertainty; (iii) graphite price volatility driven in part by Chinese oversupply; (iv) dependency on a third-party-funded 44 kV transmission line within 12 months of production commencement; and (v) pending renewal of the Permit to Take Water and revision of the Mine Closure Plan.

DATA VERIFICATION

QP Maleki Ghahfarokhi (WSP) visited the Project site, inspected and verified the drill core condition, collected independent witness samples, reviewed the QA/QC procedures, and verified the drill hole database with available original documentation.

QP Salvatori Lee visited the Project site and observed the current conditions of the tailings facility, dams, and polishing pond as well as reviewed existing technical documentation supporting the tailings design.

QP Stiebel has visited the Project site several times and has examined the drill core and conducted discussions on site conditions with the environmental manager.

QP Berson visited the site where he observed the historical pit wall stability and the mine haulage routes. He also visited the existing mill facilities as well as the polishing pond. Additionally QP Berson reviewed hydrogeological reports and available geotechnical data.

QP Peters visited the Project site and collected samples for the 2016 process optimization program.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

Commenting on the results, Eric Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Global Battery Materials Corp., stated:

“The Kearney Graphite Project represents a rare opportunity to establish domestic graphite production quickly and with capital efficiency,” said Eric Miller, CEO of GBM. “The mine has a proven history of supplying North American markets, and this study confirms the advantages of our brownfield approach.

RipeGlobal and Subscribili Partner to Drive Case Acceptance and Practice Growth Across Dental Organizations

Published

Integration combines clinical education, AI-driven scheduling, and in-office membership infrastructure to close the care gap for uninsured patients, accelerate case acceptance, and unlock chair time for DSOs nationwide

AUSTIN, Texas, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RipeGlobal, the internationally recognized leader in cloud-based, hands-on dental education and performance transformation, and Subscribili, the dental industry’s leading subscription infrastructure platform, today announced a strategic partnership designed to increase case acceptance and practice revenue across dental support organizations (DSOs) through the combined power of clinical excellence and patient-centric affordability solutions.

“Thirty percent of patients walking out the door because they can’t afford care is not a clinical failure — it’s a systems failure.” — Sudha Vetri, CEO, Subscribili

The partnership directly addresses one of dentistry’s most persistent revenue challenges: the nearly 30 percent of patients who are uninsured and frequently defer or decline treatment because they cannot access affordable care. By pairing RipeGlobal’s performance-focused clinical training with Subscribili’s Loop powering in-office membership plans and Sync enabling online scheduling, the two companies are creating an integrated pathway that converts more patients, fills more chairs, and delivers measurable financial growth for DSO partner locations.

SOLVING THE CASE ACCEPTANCE PROBLEM AT SCALE

Case acceptance is the central revenue lever for every dental organization. Yet clinical skill alone cannot close the gap when nearly one in three patients sits outside the insurance system. These patients represent a significant, largely untapped revenue opportunity — one that requires both a compelling financial pathway for patients and a clinical team trained to present treatment with confidence and clarity.

Subscribili’s Loop platform addresses the affordability barrier directly, enabling DSO locations to launch and manage in-house dental membership plans in days — without third-party insurance administrators, referral leakage, or margin compression. Patients pay a simple monthly or annual subscription fee that covers preventive care and provides discounts on restorative treatment, giving the uninsured a clear, trusted reason to say yes to the care they need.

When patients accept treatment more often, they also need to get in the door more efficiently. Subscribili’s Sync online scheduling product integrates directly with practice management systems, allowing patients to book, fill intake forms, and confirm insurance details before they arrive. As RipeGlobal’s training programs make clinical teams faster and more productive, the chair time that efficiency unlocks is filled immediately — generating revenue that would otherwise go unrealized.

“Case acceptance is ultimately an operational and clinical problem at the same time. RipeGlobal makes the clinical team exceptional. Subscribili makes the financial conversation simple for patients. When those two things happen together, DSOs see the revenue results that have always been within reach.”

— Dr. Lincoln Harris, Founder and CEO, RipeGlobal

PARTNERSHIP: WHAT IT MEANS FOR DSOS

RipeGlobal and Subscribili will pursue an integrated go-to-market strategy targeting DSOs seeking to accelerate same-store growth. DSO locations that deploy both platforms will benefit from a unified approach to growth that operates across three dimensions: clinical performance, patient affordability, and operational scheduling efficiency.

Clinically, RipeGlobal’s DAPPr (Dental Associate PowerUp Program) platform elevates associate dentists from average performers to the elite tier — guaranteeing minimum productivity increases of $100 per hour and enabling DSOs to achieve standardized care quality even when staffing locations with early-career clinicians. The program’s outcomes are especially relevant for multi-location groups that face the constant challenge of maintaining consistent production standards across their entire provider network.

Operationally, Subscribili’s Loop membership infrastructure gives each DSO location the ability to capture patients who would otherwise walk away due to cost concerns. The platform is licensed as a Discount Medical Plan Organization (DMPO) and Third-Party Administrator (TPA) across 50 states, integrates natively with more than 30 practice management systems, and is designed to scale from a single location to hundreds with no incremental administrative burden.

“Thirty percent of patients walking out the door because they can’t afford care is not a clinical failure — it’s a systems failure. Loop puts a solution in every DSO location’s hands that is simple enough for the front desk and powerful enough to move the revenue needle across an entire organization.”

— Sudha Vetri, CEO, Subscribili

MEASURING THE IMPACT: A JOINT EFFICIENCY INITIATIVE

In addition to the go-to-market partnership, RipeGlobal and Subscribili will collaborate to develop a proprietary analysis framework measuring the combined impact of their integrated platforms on DSO performance. This initiative will track case acceptance rates, chair utilization, same-store revenue growth, uninsured patient conversion, and provider productivity across participating partner organizations.

The resulting data will be published as an industry benchmark report, offering DSO operators and their private equity partners a rigorous, evidence-based view of what integrated clinical and operational investment delivers in real-world practice environments. Both companies believe this research will establish a new standard for quantifying the relationship between provider excellence, patient affordability, and practice financial performance.

“We believe the combination of RipeGlobal’s clinical transformation data and Subscribili’s membership and scheduling metrics will produce a complete picture of DSO performance improvement.

— Dr. Lincoln Harris, Founder and CEO, RipeGlobal

BUILT FOR THE DSO GROWTH AGENDA

Both companies have built their platforms with the DSO model as the primary design optimization. Multi-location dental organizations require solutions that scale without adding complexity, integrate into existing workflows without disrupting staff, and produce outcomes that can be measured, reported, and replicated across hundreds of locations.

RipeGlobal’s DSO Essentials track within DAPPr is specifically engineered for the associate recruitment and development pipeline that defines how DSOs grow. New associates in RipeGlobal programs achieve production competency significantly faster than the industry average, reducing the ramp time that costs DSOs revenue in the critical first months of a new hire’s tenure.

Subscribili’s platform is equally purpose-built for scale. Its architecture supports centralized plan management across hundreds of locations, allowing DSO leadership teams to configure, launch, and report on membership programs at the enterprise level while front desk teams execute locally with minimal training. The integration with online scheduling through Sync means that as membership plans drive patient volume, the scheduling infrastructure scales in lockstep.

“The DSOs we serve are not looking for another point solution. They are looking for integrated answers to growth. Subscribili’s partnership with RipeGlobal is exactly the kind of combination that moves the needle across an entire organization simultaneously — clinically, financially, and operationally.”

— Sudha Vetri, CEO, Subscribili

ABOUT RIPEGLOBAL

RipeGlobal is the world’s leading cloud-based dental education platform, combining advanced hands-on simulation technology with expert instruction to deliver measurable practice transformation. The company’s flagship DAPPr (Dental Associate PowerUp Program) DSO platform transforms dental professionals from average performers to the elite one percent, guaranteeing minimum $100 per hour production increases.
