RESIDUE OFFTAKE MOU

Blackstone Minerals Limited (“Blackstone” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a MOU with Phu Minh and Viet Trung to research opportunities to repurpose and trade waste material (or residue) from its Vietnamese Ta Khoa Refinery into construction material products.

The MOU demonstrates that the refinery residue not only holds value but will result in less residue treatment and storage for Blackstone during the life of the operation, significantly improving financial metrics for the project.

Phu Minh own and operate a waste treatment plant in the Phu Tho Province, which is adjacent to the Son La Province in Vietnam, where Blackstone is building the refinery. Phu Minh commenced in 2007 working in the fields of environmental management and waste treatment.
