Oracle Commodity Holding Expands Fluorspar Royalty Agreement in Illinois
Oracle Commodity Holding Corp. has strengthened its position in the mining sector by expanding its royalty agreement with CleanTech Vanadium Mining Corp. This development involves the addition of new fluorspar properties located in Illinois, specifically in Pope and Hardin Counties. The agreement was formalized through a third amending agreement effective November 14, 2025.
The newly included properties consist of 37 mineral-rights parcels, encompassing a total of 1,605 acres. Under the terms of the amended royalty agreement, Oracle Commodity Holding is entitled to a **2% net smelter return royalty** on minerals extracted and sold from these properties. Additionally, there is a stipulated minimum of **$6** per tonne of minerals sold, ensuring a baseline return for the company.
In exchange for this expanded royalty, Oracle Commodity Holding has committed to making non-refundable cash payments to CleanTech’s subsidiary, U.S. Fluorspar LLC. These payments will amount to **20%** of the cash consideration that USF pays to vendors for acquiring the properties. Specifically, Oracle will pay **20%** of **$68,700**, contingent upon approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
Oracle Commodity Holding is a significant stakeholder in CleanTech, holding **42,799,502 common shares**, which establishes a related party relationship under the guidelines of Multilateral Instrument 61-101. Both companies will utilize exemptions from certain formal valuation and minority-approval requirements as they advance this transaction.
The broader implications of this agreement reflect Oracle’s strategy to enhance its portfolio of mining royalties in response to growing market demand for critical minerals. The fluorspar market is particularly relevant, given its applications in various industrial processes, including aluminum production and the manufacture of high-performance plastics.
As a mining royalty company, Oracle Commodity Holding operates with a focus on securing royalties from several projects involving precious metals and critical minerals. This latest agreement marks a strategic expansion in the company’s operations, positioning it to capitalize on the increasing importance of fluorspar in global markets.
