Stina Announces Completion of Acquisition of the Gildemeister Assets and Resumes Production of CellCube Vanadium Flow Battery


Toronto, ON, Canada -- May 1, 2018 -- Stina Resources Ltd. (OTCQB:STNUF) (CSE:SQA.CN) (Frankfurt: 01X) (“Stina” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of an arm’s length transaction to acquire all the outstanding assets of former Gildemeister Energy Storage GmbH, including its CellCube vanadium flow battery, and its energy storage business.

Stina has established a new wholly-owned Austrian subsidiary, Enerox GmbH, that has acquired the Gildemeister assets and business. Enerox is one of the world's first and largest researchers, developers, manufacturers and distributors of vanadium flow batteries. As an industry leader in the energy storage sector, it has installed vanadium flow batteries at over 100 sites globally.

As energy storage deployments continue to rapidly increase globally, Stina is committed to invest in technology to further its industry advantages as a global, integrated energy storage company for both customer-sided and utility scale energy storage applications.

“Our investment in the former Gildemeister’s assets have enabled us to immediately offer leading energy storage technology to global markets and complements our vision for Stina to be a fully integrated energy storage company. With our end-to-end business approach, we are bringing about the next evolution in the way energy storage will be integrated in demand-side and distributed generation power infrastructure alike,” says Brian Stecyk, President and CEO of Stina.

“Enerox is pleased to announce the acquisition of all the assets of Gildemeister’s CellCube energy storage business and will now be able to immediately resume the sale and installation of its energy storage solutions. CellCube batteries are based on a solid decade of experience in vanadium redox flow systems with over 100 installations worldwide. These systems provide large scale electricity storage solutions for energy centric market segments that are rapidly transitioning towards a 100% carbon free power infrastructure,” commented Stefan Schauss, President and CEO of Enerox.

Storage markets are estimated to reach 40 GW by 2030 according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s research. CellCube energy storage systems address the need for energy centric storage of clean, renewable electrical energy as well as reducing the CO2 footprint of conventional power generation. Energy centric storage applications, such as the shifting of intermittent renewable energy peaks into periods of high demand, will lead the transition of modern energy supply chains around the world.

The first CellCube batteries were installed in 2008 and with a decade of operational experience the technology has been proven to deliver long lasting energy storage infrastructure for deployments in a wide range of climates and heavy load applications. The technology has displayed superior operational experience in over 100 projects and has a solid track record of energy storage performance in many supply chain categories.

While the CellCube product line-up with “plug’n play ready” containerized systems is available today, Enerox expects to soon release the next generation of flow battery modules poised to seriously challenge competing technologies in the electrochemical storage space.

The total acquisition price of €5,210,000 (CDN $7,788,950) has been fully paid for with proceeds from recent private placements. Besides the CellCube battery technology, the major assets Stina is acquiring include all inventory on-hand, capital asset equipment used in the manufacturing of the CellCube battery, software, intellectual property including patents and trademarks, office equipment, Gildemeister’s customer base and goodwill. Stina is not acquiring any debt on the acquisition.

About Stina Resources Ltd.
Stina’s acquisition of the assets of Gildemeister Energy Storage GmbH has transformed Stina and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enerox, into a leading integrated resource and energy storage company. Together with the Company’s recent acquisition of Jet Power & Control Systems Ltd., Stina is gearing up to deliver fully vertically integrated energy storage solutions to utilities and independent power producers for both stand-alone energy storage projects as well as projects where energy storage enhances the value proposition from renewable energy generation.

- CellCube batteries are plug-and-play—capacity increased just by adding another unit.
- CellCube batteries can have over 20,000 cycles, last a minimum of 20 to over 30 years and some that have been operating for over 10 years have never required servicing.
- CellCube batteries are safe, non-flammable and non-explosive.
- CellCube batteries are monitored on a 24/7/365 basis, wherever they are in the world.
- CellCube batteries can be 100% discharged without any negative effect on the battery.
- CellCube batteries provide high power output capacity over long durations allowing optimal usage of renewable energy sources.
- CellCube batteries are currently operating in a broad range of climates including in Siberia, Africa, South East Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia. They can operate in all conditions—from extreme cold to dry deserts and extreme tropical environments.
- CellCube batteries are very cost-effective, especially when long-duration use is considered

About Stina Resources Ltd.:


LStina Resources Ltd. has the vision of becoming North America’s first vertically integrated producer of vanadium & vanadium electrolytes for the energy storage industry.

Stina has significant vanadium rich properties in Nevada. The Bison McKay claims contain a pure vanadium resource. Unlike most other vanadium deposits where vanadium is inter-mingled with other metals such as iron, or uranium, the Bisoni McKay properties contain pure vanadium in a carbonaceous shale.

These vanadium resources may be ideal to meet the need of the growing vanadium electrolyte energy storage market. Vanadium redox flow batteries used for grid energy storage are being recognized by many as the way of the future.

Stina Resources Ltd. is dedicated to increasing shareholder value through exploration and development of their vanadium resources and converting the vanadium into vanadium electolyte for the energy storage market.

VANADIUM IS A STRATEGIC METAL USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH-QUALITY METAL ALLOYS. ITS MOST COMMON USES ARE IN HIGH STRENGTH STEEL, IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY, AND CHEMICAL USES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CATALYSTS, CERAMICS, GLASSES AND PIGMENTS, ELECTRONICS AND BATTERIES.

Vanadium is becoming an increasingly well-known and important mineral. Traditionally it has been used to increase the strength of steel. 90% of theworld's vanadium is currently used in steel production.

BISONI-MCKAY PROPERTY

Stina Resources Ltd. has owned the Bisoni-Rio claims in northeastern Nevada for over 30 years, waiting for an opportune time to develop the vanadium resources on the property. Unlike traditional vanadium mineral resources which are typically intermingled with other minerals such as cobalt, lead, iron, uranium, etc. the Bisoni-McKay resource if pure vanadium in a carbonaceous shale.

Previously vanadium was primarily used for steel production but now new uses such as an electricity storage media in vanadium redox flow batteries is accelerating demand for the metal. This trend is anticipated to continue as grid energy storage becomes more and more prevalent as the new technology is adopted. The US Department of Energy reports that there are currently 59 Vanadium Redox Battery installations throughout the world.

- Past exploration by Union Carbide (1950s), Hecla Mining (1970s) and Noranda (1980s)
- Contains significant vanadium carbonaceous resources that allow for high level of vanadium electrolyte purity
- Supergene enrichment zone of up to 35 feet width identified immediately below Redox zone, revealing anomalous grade surges of 50% to 150%
- Continuity of mineralization confirmed in past exploration drilling campaigns
- Close to surface; open-pittable; examining modern extraction methods

During the summer of 2017, Stina 164 claims immediately to the north, including over the original Bisoni Vanadium Property, and up to the adjacent Gibillini Vanadium Property. This recent brings the total Stina land claims in the Nevada Vanadium Belt to 201, and covers a total area of 4,115 acres.

But, usage/value/price is dramatically changing thanks to the new applications as electrolyte in redox flow, vanadium lithium ion and other types of batteries for energy storage.
