Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 10, 2024) - Spearmint Resources Inc. (CSE: SPMT) (OTC Pink: SPMTF) (FSE: A2AHL5) (the "Company" or "Spearmint") wishes to announce that it has diversified the Company via an initial purchase of Solana. Spearmint plans to commit up to 20 percent of the cash on hand to this diversification.

James Nelson, President of Spearmint stated, "Spearmint management feels it is prudent to try to be as proactive as possible to build shareholder value. Management feels that diversifying into Solana specifically holds the highest potential for growth within the crypto space. We plan to continue this plan of action for the foreseeable future and will update the market regarding this strategy in the short and long term."

Solana is a crypto-computing platform that aims to achieve high transaction speeds without sacrificing decentralization. It seeks to improve scalability through a different approach in the blockchain industry, combining a proof-of-history (PoH) consensus with the blockchain's underlying proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus. This approach has attracted interest from a diverse range of traders, from small-scale individuals to institutional entities. Solana claims it can process around 50,000 transactions per second. Solana is both a cryptocurrency and a flexible platform for developers building decentralized applications (dApps) across various industries, including DeFi, gaming, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and financial derivatives. Spearmint has made an initial purchase 29.172 Solana via Bitbuy.

On November 27, 2024, Spearmint acquired the George Lake South Antimony Project in New Brunswick, Canada. This project consists of 1,945 contiguous acres prospective for antimony. This new project is in the direct vicinity of the Lake George Antimony Mine in New Brunswick which was operated intermittently from 1876 to 1996 and was once the largest primary antimony producer in North America. Last week, China banned exports of critical minerals, including antimony, to the United States. As trade tensions escalate between the United States and China, this move clearly emphasizes the urgent need for Western nations to secure reliable long-term sources of these critical minerals, which are now at the forefront of the global supply chain crisis.
