Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 20, 2025) – Oracle Commodity Holding Corp. (TSXV: ORCL) (OTCQB: ORLCF) (“Oracle” or the “Company”) and Cleantech Vanadium Mining Corp. (TSXV: CTV) (OTCQB: CTVFF) (“Cleantech”) are pleased to announce the execution of an Amended and Restated Royalty Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) dated March 3, 2025, among Oracle, Nevada Vanadium LLC, and Nevada Vanadium Holding Corp., which amends the original royalty agreement dated August 25, 2021 pursuant to which Oracle holds a 2% royalty on Cleantech’s Gibellini Vanadium Mine Project (the “Gibellini Vanadium Mine Project”) in Eureka County, Nevada (the “Original Royalty”).

Consideration: As consideration for entering into the Amended Agreement, Oracle must pay Cleantech aggregate consideration of CAD 200,000, payable as follows:
CAD 75,000 (already paid); and
