VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 16, 2022 /CNW/ - Klimat X Developments Inc. ("Klimat X" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: KLX) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a carbon credit streaming agreement dated 15^th August, 2022 (the "Carbon Credit Agreement") to acquire (the "Acquisition") carbon credit development rights for approximately 32,000 hectares of land located in Sierra Leone (the "Carbon Credit Rights") from Forest and Mangrove Protection Ltd. ("FMPL"). The Acquisition is intended to significantly expand the Corporation's rewilding forestry projects, which sequester carbon dioxide and produce carbon credits. The Acquisition is based on the reimbursement of costs assumed by FMPL associated with securing land development rights under Sierra Leone law. The Acquisition also reimburses FMPL for the costs to date for the mapping work and for initial feasibility studies related to the development of a potential coastal mangrove project that has the potential to generate significant carbon credits from conservation and restoration activities. FMPL will receive no further consideration as part of this transaction. This Acquisition is in addition to the carbon credit development rights to the minimum 25,000 hectare area in Sierra Leone secured from Rewilding Maforki Ltd. ("RML") during the recent "Change of Business" transaction (as such term is defined in TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") Policy 5.2) (the "COB") and subsequent re-activation of the Corporation to the TSXV completed on July 20^th, 2022. Additional details regarding closing of the COB and the carbon credit rights purchased from RML are contained in press releases of the Corporation dated June 29, 2020 and July 19, 2022.

Pursuant to the Carbon Credit Agreement, Klimat X will assume FMPL's cost of the land rights acquisition and all carbon credit development costs associated with implementing a large-scale rewilding project under the relevant Verra afforestation/reforestation protocol (the "Project"), in exchange for in exchange for the Carbon Credit Rights and other revenues generated through the sale of timber and other biological assets produced from, or in connection with the Project. An initial feasibility study was completed in July by Silvestrum Climate Associates, who are global leaders in coastal and mangrove projects. Coastal mangroves in Sierra Leone are highly productive and can sequester 10-20 tonnes of CO₂e per hectare per annum, storing significant volumes of carbon in the sediment. If validated, it is anticipated that this Project could produce millions of tonnes of high value carbon credits over the life of the project.

Klimat X is focused on investing in nature-based solutions including reforestation, conservation and blue carbon projects including mangroves. The Corporation has an active pipeline of projects in Sierra Leone, Guyana and the State of Yucatan, Mexico. Projects are developed in partnership with state, national and indigenous governments through fair and transparent revenue sharing agreements. "These investments expand our reach in a country where we have very strong foundations as a company. We have secured a much larger land area for our trailblazing rewilding programme. The addition of a large-scale mangrove project to our portfolio in Sierra Leone is extremely encouraging and we expect it will establish a strong precedent for other large scale mangrove investments in the region" - Dr. James Tansey, Chief Executive Officer.

The purchase price for the Acquisition is US$655,912, to be paid in cash. The Acquisition constitutes a "Reviewable Transaction" for the purposes of TSXV Policy 5.3- Acquisitions and Dispositions of Non-Cash Assets ("Policy 5.3"), as it is a "Related Party Transaction" on the basis that FMPL is wholly-owned by a director and significant shareholder of Klimat X, Mr. Kevin Godlington.

There is no finder's fee payable in connection with the Acquisition. Closing of the Acquisition remains subject to TSXV approval in accordance with Policy 5.3 and certain closing conditions specified in the Carbon Credit Agreement.

Klimat X develops validated & verified carbon credits from the afforestation & reforestation of degraded land areas, marine ecosystems and mangroves for sale into international voluntary carbon markets. Klimat X works upstream as a direct owner and operator of projects addressing a key constraint in the current market to supply the rapidly growing demand for carbon credits in global voluntary & regulated markets. Klimat X invests in the exploration, restoration and management of terrestrial and marine systems that can either be protected to enhance the sequestration of greenhouse gases or restored from a degraded status to fully productive ecosystems. We draw on the experience of a seasoned senior executive team and board that provides access to target jurisdictions through relationships in the mining and natural resources sectors, combined with decades of experience in carbon markets. Klimat X plans to deploy capital through arrangements (including cooperation, assignment and production sharing agreements) with large landowners and governments in jurisdictions around the world.
