Neptune Digital Assets : Announces Quarterly Results and Total Earnings of $6.6M for the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2022

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – August 3, 2022 – Neptune Digital Assets Corp. (TSX-V:NDA) (OTC:NPPTF) (FSE:1NW) (“Neptune” or the “Company“), a blockchain technology and cryptocurrency leader in Canada, is pleased to announce that it has released its quarterly consolidated financial statements and management, discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022.

Below are a number of financial highlights pertaining to the third quarter ended May 31, 2022 and for the period subsequent to quarter end up to the date of this news release.

  • Neptune earned $6,616,479 through Bitcoin mining and other income-generating activities during the nine-month period ended May 31, 2022. This represents an increase of 755% over the same period of the prior year.
  • Neptune ended the quarter on May 31, 2022 with $47 million in assets and no debt. This equates to a $7 million decrease from the year-ended August 31, 2021 due to cryptocurrency values decreasing over the period. Neptune did not convert any cryptocurrency tokens into fiat currency.
  • Total expenses for the nine-month period were $2,362,684, including non-cash values of $684,000 in depreciation and $56,000 in foreign exchange loss.
  • Neptune’s two largest digital asset holdings as of the date of this release are 241 Bitcoin and 160,500 ATOM.

“We are seeing a tough bear market impacting cryptocurrency operations for all digital asset companies across the board and equal struggles in the general worldwide equity and asset markets. We believe we have positioned Neptune to do well in these types of environments where cash can be used to acquire assets at a discount. When markets eventually recover, we expect this strategy to greatly benefit our shareholders,” stated Cale Moodie, Neptune CEO.

DIGITALX DECEMBER BITCOIN AND DIGITAL ASSET EXPOSURE

DECEMBER BITCOIN AND DIGITAL ASSET EXPOSURE

DigitalX Limited (ASX:DCC, OTCQB: DGGXF) (the Company) provides the following monthly update to shareholders on its funds under management and value of Bitcoin and digital asset holdings as at the end of December 2022.

The DigitalX Bitcoin Fund declined 0.3% for the month and the DigitalX Fund fell 3.7%, while the S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Equal Weight Index (“Index”) declined 14.0%. Over the quarter, the DigitalX Bitcoin Fund declined 18.8% and the DigitalX Fund fell 22.2%, while the Index declined 26.5%.

The performance of both DigitalX funds reflected the subdued market action in December in the wake of the collapse of the FTX exchange. The active DigitalX Fund strategy outperformed the Index this month and quarter due to our relatively conservative portfolio composition and higher allocations to Bitcoin and Ethereum than the Index.

DigitalX Chief Executive Officer, Lisa Wade said:

“Although a negative month and tough quarter for digital assets, it is pleasing that our funds outperformed the Index with our focus on quality names inside the Top 20 crypto universe.

We believe 2023 will see further volatility across financial markets and expect the recent correlation to digital asset markets to continue. In saying this, we believe that the underperformance gap of digital asset markets to broader equity markets will close over the medium term (this gap is currently 55%) as we see further movement towards industry regulation and transition from traditional finance to decentralised finance. In the short term, digital asset markets must navigate the continued fallout from the collapse of FTX, with the possibility of further Chapter 11 bankruptcies dominating news flow in January.

We continue to position ourselves as a safe pair of hands in digital asset management by managing counter-party risk, utilising cold storage methods and producing our significant proprietary research aligned to our long term thematic views for the digital assets sector. Our top investment themes continue to include:

1. Real world asset tokenisation;
2. Decentralised data (including ZK Rollups – a cryptographic proof to validate Ethereum transactions faster, cheaper and more securely);
3. Digital identity opportunities; and
4. Web3.0 infrastructure across decentralised application networks.

We believe the structural shift of financial infrastructure into Web3.0 financial guardrails is well underway and expect institutional adoption to continue to accelerate in 2023.

Finally, in December ~A$800,000 of our Bitcoin holdings held in Treasury (~15%) was converted into cash as part of our broader strategic initiative to more actively manage treasury assets and optimise investment opportunities. The board and management are focused on proactively generating shareholder value and making sure our balance sheet is generating value.”

Deutsche Rohstoff AG Establishment of a lithium exploration subsidiary in Australia

Deutsche Rohstoff AG and its Australian partner SensOre have established the Australian subsidiary Exploration Ventures AI Pty Ltd.

Joint Venture with SensOre/Focus on Western Australia

Mannheim, 23. January 2023 Deutsche Rohstoff AG and its Australian partner SensOre (ASX: S3N) have established the Australian subsidiary Exploration Ventures AI Pty Ltd (“EXAI”). The company is focused on the exploration of lithium in Western Australia. Deutsche Rohstoff AG will hold a 70% share in the company. Since formation, EXAI has already secured three early-stage exploration projects through three Farm-in agreements and one exploration license application.

Since early 2022, SensOre and Deutsche Rohstoff AG had identified particularly prospective targets based on SensOre’s technology. The approach combines artificial intelligence (AI) technology, big data and comprehensive geoscientific know-how. With this approach, SensOre aims to become a global leader in minerals targeting.

The focus is on Western Australia (“WA”), as the state is not only one of the world’s most active and successful mining regions, but also currently accounts for approximately 90% of the lithium mined from hard rock. In addition to the world’s largest lithium (spodumene) mine, the Greenbushes Mine in the southwestern part of the state, other projects have begun production in recent years and new deposits have been discovered. Thus, the successful identification of a lithium deposit in WA holds tremendous potential.

The three projects identified to date are very promising from the perspective of the EXAI Joint Venture, but additional potential targets are being evaluated in parallel and possibly acquired. In the context of early-stage exploration, an initial small investment is common, after which a decision is made as to which projects will be pursued and which lack sufficient prospectivity.

Exploration expenditures for the initial Farm-ins amount to approximately AUD 1 million (EUR 0.64 million) in the first 12 to 18 months after successful due diligence, which will be spent mainly on initial geological and geophysical exploration work. The share of Deutsche Rohstoff AG in these expenditures amounts to 70% in accordance with the share in EXAI. With positive results and indications, a decision will be made on a drilling program for individual projects. Under the three Farm-in agreements and with positive results, the Joint Venture could invest about AUD 10 million (EUR 6.5 million) over the next 4 to 4.5 years to acquire a 51-80% interest in the projects.

The two Farm-ins include the Gecko North project about 60 km Northwest of the Mt Marion lithium mine as well as parts of the Montague project about 100 km west of the Kathleen Valley lithium deposit. In addition, the Joint Venture has submitted a wholly-owned exploration application for the Bowgarder Well license in the western Yilgarn Craton approximately 300 km North of the city of Perth.

Lithium represents an indispensable component in current battery technologies. Therefore, even in more conservative scenarios for the electric car sector, massive additional demand for lithium is expected. The price for the most common lithium mining product, spodumene concentrate (SC6), has increased since 2020 from around 500 USD/ton to currently around 6,000/USD per ton. Deutsche Rohstoff AG sees the Joint Venture with SensOre as a unique opportunity to participate in this exciting market and to find economically interesting lithium deposits.

Mannheim, 23. January 2023

Deutsche Rohstoff identifies, develops and sells attractive raw material deposits in North America, Australia and Europe. The focus is on the development of oil and gas deposits in the USA. Metals such as gold and tungsten round off the portfolio. Further information is available at www.rohstoff.de
