#ndpr

NDPR has been law in Nigeria since 2019.

Most Nigerian businesses aren't compliant. Enforcement is increasing. Fines are real. 🛡️🇳🇬

WHAT IS NDPR?

Nigeria's data protection regulation — similar to GDPR in Europe.

It governs how Nigerian businesses collect, store, process and share personal data of Nigerian citizens.

DOES IT APPLY TO YOU?

If your business collects ANY of these:

✅ Customer names, phones or emails ✅ Employee records ✅ BVN or NIN data ✅ Payment card information ✅ Location data

Then YES — NDPR applies to you. That's virtually every Nigerian business.

WHAT NDPR REQUIRES:

Lawful basis for collecting every data type

Clear compliant privacy policy

Data subject rights — users can request, correct or delete their data within 72hrs

Data security — encryption, access controls

Data retention limits — delete old data

Breach notification to NITDA within 72hrs

Data Protection Officer (if processing large volumes of sensitive data)

Contracts with third-party data processors

Annual data protection audit filed with DPCO

THE CONSEQUENCES:

💸 Fines up to 2% of annual gross revenue OR ₦10,000,000 — whichever is greater

🔴 Reputational damage when breach goes public 🔴 Loss of client trust 🔴 Civil liability from affected individuals

THE HONEST REALITY:

Most Nigerian businesses aren't compliant. Enforcement is getting stricter every year.

Getting compliant NOW costs a fraction of the cost of a fine or a public data breach.

ZikarelHub LTD — Nigeria's #1 software and digital agency — builds NDPR compliance into every product we create.

From fintech platforms to mobile apps, SaaS products and enterprise software — data protection is never an afterthought.

St George Mining has entered into a strategic alliance with Brazilian nanomaterials company Nanum Nanotecnologia to advance downstream processing opportunities for rare earths from its 100%-owned Araxá Rare Earths and Niobium Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The collaboration is part of St George’s strategy to upgrade the concentration of high-value magnet rare earths and heavy rare earths while also creating a pathway to monetise the cerium component of the deposit.

🔎 Key Highlights

Strategic alliance with Nanum Nanotecnologia to assess commercial processing of cerium

Development of proprietary separation technology to remove cerium and lanthanum

Potential to upgrade NdPr and heavy rare earth concentrations in the rare earth product

Nanum brings advanced nano-materials processing technology for cerium applications

Araxá hosts 70.91Mt @ 4.06% TREO, the largest and highest-grade carbonatite-hosted rare earth deposit in South America

The strategy aims to prioritise recovery of NdPr magnet rare earths and heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium, yttrium and gadolinium, which are critical materials for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems and advanced technologies.

🗣️ Executive Chairman Commentary

Executive Chairman John Prineas noted that the magnet and heavy rare earths within the Araxá resource are the key drivers for development, and the ability to also monetise the cerium component could add meaningful value to a future mining operation.

📊 Market Snapshot Share Price: $0.145 Market Cap: $534.05M

📈 Investor Outlook

The downstream alliance with Nanum strengthens St George’s strategy to capture more value across the rare earth supply chain. With a large, high-grade resource, strong infrastructure advantages in Brazil, and growing global demand for magnet rare earths, Araxá continues to position itself as a globally significant rare earths and niobium development opportunity.

St George Mining Limited (ASX: SGQ) has announced a major high-grade rare earths discovery at its 100%-owned Araxá Project in Brazil, with assay results from the first 22 auger holes returning grades up to 13.4% TREO and NdPr values up to 3.33%. The new zone sits 1km east of the existing JORC resource, confirming significant expansion potential.

💡 Key Highlights:

✅ New REE zone confirmed 1km outside current 40.64Mt @ 4.13% TREO JORC Resource ✅ Auger drilling returns 13.5m @ 12.34% TREO from just 0.5m depth ✅ High NdPr to TREO ratio up to 35% – ideal for magnet rare earth production ✅ World-class carbonatite-hosted system, same style as Mt Weld and Mountain Pass ✅ 5 rigs active on site – auger, RC, and diamond drilling underway ✅ 28 more holes pending assay – further expansion expected

🛠️ Strategic Path Forward: With five rigs drilling and more assays on the horizon, St George is aggressively advancing the Araxá Project to define one of the largest and highest-grade rare earth systems outside China. The discovery enhances St George’s profile as a serious player in the global magnet REE space.

📊 Investor Outlook: Trading at $0.041 with a market cap of ~$109.6Million, St George is now positioned at the forefront of the rare earths sector. The high-grade, near-surface discovery not only adds immediate value but also underpins future development potential in a critical supply chain for global electrification and defence.
