[{"type":"text","content":"CABs ENDORSE NORRA KARR MINING LEASE APPLICATION\n\n\n\n\n CABs ENDORSE NORRA KÄRR MINING LEASE APPLICATION\n \n\n\n Vancouver, December 3, 2025 – Leading Edge Materials Corp. (“Leading Edge Materials” or the “Company”) (TSXV: LEM) (Nasdaq First North: LEMSE) (OTCQB: LEMIF) (FRA: 7FL)  is pleased to announce that the County Administrative Boards (“CABs”) of Jönköping and Östergötland endorse (\n \n Sw.

While it should be pointed out that this is not a formal permitting decision, it is a significant consultation opinion that says that we have done what we are required to do in this phase of permitting. I am happy to see that we have been compliant with all permitting procedures and have been able to address the CABs requirements for information. Importantly, it also means that the application will not be subject to a decision by the Swedish government.\n \n\n\n\n It's a credit to the Swedish technical, legal, sustainability and stakeholder engagement teams, that have worked on Norra Kärr over many years to potentially be granted an Exploitation Concession; that would in turn grant us exclusive rights to develop the deposit over a 25-year period.
