Robex Shareholders Approve PDI Merger

QUEBEC CITY, Dec. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robex Resources Inc. (“Robex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that at its special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) held today, shareholders (“Robex Shareholders”) voted overwhelmingly in favour of the special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) approving the previously announced merger with Predictive Discovery Limited (“Predictive”) pursuant to which Predictive, through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Robex (“Robex Shares”) by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Québec).

Voting Results

The Arrangement Resolution was approved by 94.54% of votes cast by Robex Shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting, satisfying the required approval threshold of not less than two-thirds (66⅔%). Full voting results will be filed under Robex’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Next Steps
The transaction remains subject to final approval by the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division), which is scheduled for 13^th January 2026, the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), local Government consents and other customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature. Completion of the merger is expected to occur in Q1 2026.

Amended Terms and Strategic Rationale
Under the amended arrangement agreement announced on December 10, 2025, Robex Shareholders will receive 7.862 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Predictive for each Robex Share held, resulting in Robex Shareholders owning approximately 46.5% of the combined company on a fully diluted in-the-money basis.

The merger creates one of West Africa’s leading gold producers, combining Robex’s Kiniero Project and Predictive’s Bankan Project to deliver:

• Scale, Growth and Financial Flexibility: Near-term cash flow from Kiniero and Nampala, as well as warrant proceeds to support Bankan development. Projected combined production of 400koz+ annually by 2029¹.
• Operational Synergies: Proximity of projects establishes a tier-1 mining hub in Guinea.
• Enhanced Market Profile: Increased scale and multi-asset nature position the combined company for potential inclusion in major indices (ASX 200, GDXJ).
• Experienced Leadership: A strengthened management team with proven in-country expertise and dual-listed experience.

Matthew Wilcox, Managing Director and CEO of Robex, stated:

“This has been a defining 10 days for Robex. On December 21, we achieved the first gold pour at Kiniero, and today, December 30, our shareholders approved the merger with Predictive. These two milestones demonstrate our ability to execute and position the combined company for rapid growth. With near-term cash flow from Kiniero and the world-class Bankan project in the pipeline, we are building a tier-1 gold mining hub in Guinea and creating a leading gold producer. We thank our shareholders for their strong support and are ready to deliver meaningful returns for all stakeholders.”
