OUR BUSINESS
Our Vision
Our vision is to develop a world-class portfolio of critical minerals and materials projects. The diversity of our portfolio would provide an integrated solution to the challenges facing the critical minerals and materials industry.
The Global Energy Transition
Renewable energy is expected to overtake coal by 2025 as the world’s largest source of electricity (Source: “The Clean Energy Future is Arriving Faster Than You Think,” NY Times, August 12, 2023). The growth in renewable energy is exponential.
In the U.S., the Secretary of Energy pursuant to authority under the Energy Act of 2020 determines the list of critical minerals and materials. The final 2022 list of critical minerals includes the following 50 minerals: Aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barite, beryllium, bismuth, cerium, cesium, chromium, cobalt, dysprosium, erbium, europium, fluorspar, gadolinium, gallium, germanium, graphite, hafnium, holmium, indium, iridium, lanthanum, lithium, lutetium, magnesium, manganese, neodymium, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, praseodymium, rhodium, rubidium, ruthenium, samarium, scandium, tantalum, tellurium, terbium, thulium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, ytterbium, yttrium, zinc, and zirconium.
The vital market for critical minerals and metals is the enabling component of the vital transition of the energy market. The infrastructure requirement for clean energy is dependent on the availability of the raw materials that these minerals represent. The future of the nation’s economic security and our national defense industry is reliant on an uninterrupted supply chain of minerals and metals.
Nickel, lithium, cobalt, and graphite are used in batteries. Rare-earth minerals such as neodymium and samarium are essential to the magnets of wind turbines and electric motors. An unstable supply of these minerals threatens the continued growth of renewable energy.
The chart in figure 1 depicts the projected growth of the demand for specific minerals that provide the base material for the manufacturing of electrical vehicle and energy storage batteries. The growth rate for projected demand in 2050 is presented using 2020 as the base of comparison (Source: https://www.iea.org/reports/the-role-of-critical-minerals-in-clean-energy-transitions; The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions”).
Figure 1: Energy Storage Minerals
Many of these critical minerals are mined and processed in a small number of countries, as illustrated in the chart in Figure 2 (Source: “The global fight for critical minerals is costly and damaging,” Nature, July 19, 2023).
Figure 2: Sources of Minerals
The current dependence on foreign sources for critical materials supply flow and minerals processing must be addressed in the short and mid-term to create a stable supply chain of these materials to support both the national and economic security of the U.S. The table (Figure 3) depicts the current level of foreign sources for critical minerals by industry (Source: U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey, MINERAL COMMODITY SUMMARIES 2023).

Our Organizational Chart
It is currently anticipated that M2i’s structure will be built upon three separate business units with standalone P&Ls to carry on the Company’s objectives. Each P&L will be led by a vice president, who will work with a management team focused on implementing and building each effort into a business line, taking advantage of federal and state incentives, and building its own profit and loss contributions to the overall organization. The vice presidents will report to the president/chief executive officer of the Company. M2i business development will be a cross-functional discipline whose responsibilities cut across the organization. M2i will establish a finance department, staffed by a Director of Finance and Controller to ensure the effective and efficient management of funds, and to implement appropriate accounting controls.
M2i Primary Minerals & Metals
The primary business purpose of M2i PMM will be to develop and supply the U.S. sanctioned value chain of critical metals needed by the U.S. and its free trade partners. M2i PMM will supply the 50 critical minerals and Rare Earth Elements (“REE”) as defined by the U.S. Geologic Survey 2022. These minerals will be sourced globally from mines adhering to ethical extraction principles and guidelines.
Strategic Alliances
The Company expects to enter several strategic alliances (“SAs”) to further its business objectives; namely through multiple mechanisms including asset acquisition and independent supply contracts. The SAs will likely be with companies that can expand our capability to extract minerals from existing mines, assist in implementing new mining projects, and develop and place into production new technologies and processes in extracting and processing minerals. Our efforts, and particularly our JVs, will be focused on delivering guaranteed access to critical minerals and metals for national defense and economic security.
Currently, we are in negotiations with Reforme Group (“Reforme”), an Australian mining and recycling company to enter into a strategic alliance agreement (the “SA Agreement”) wherein Reforme and M2i will create an Australian proprietary limited company (“M2iAust”) to source and trade critical metals and strategic minerals. It is currently anticipated that M2i and Reforme Group will each be equal shareholders in M2iAust. It is currently anticipated that the SA Agreement will enable us to capitalize on Reforme’s expertise in critical minerals. Reforme is an innovative Australian mining services, infrastructure, recycling, and renewables company with specialized expertise in the development of green and brown field mining projects with the demonstrated capability in end-to-end management of mine operations, processing, logistics and off-take negotiations.
The SA will play a pivotal role in advancing the critical minerals supply chain and contributing to the global energy transformation. We expect that the SA will extract critical minerals from existing brownfield mines’ tailings utilizing a novel extraction technology and process developed by Reforme. Reforme’s technology includes mine remediation methods to return the site to a state that would satisfy government and community concerns. It is anticipated that Reforme will grant M2iAust a right of first refusal to enter into offtake agreements with Reforme or its related corporate bodies for any critical metals and strategic minerals extracted from mining tenements owned or controlled by Reforme. M2i will support the development of strategic resources by Reforme. Together, the companies will refer any third party off take opportunities in the Asia Pacific region for strategic resources to M2iAust. M2iAust will negotiate offtake agreements to secure offtake from Reforme and third parties for offtake which will be sold to M2i in subsequent offtake agreements. The JV has a term of 5 years unless agreed otherwise. By leveraging their combined expertise and resources, the partners intend to establish a more sustainable and efficient critical minerals ecosystem that fully aligns with the objectives outlined in the United States-Australian Climate, Critical Minerals, and Clean Energy Transformation Compact.
The Company’s subsidiary, U.S. Minerals and Metals Corp.,(“USMM”) has assigned its two contracts with Lyons Capital, LLC to the parent Company, M2i Global, Inc. On February 23, 2023, USMM, and Lyons Capital, LLC (“Lyons”) entered into a business development agreement wherein Lyons agreed to act as Senior Strategic and Business Development Advisor to USMM for a term of 10 years (the “BDA”). Lyons received, on January 2, 2024, and on the first business day of each year thereafter 10,000,000 shares of USMM’s common stock in exchange for a purchase price of $1,000 per year. The BDA may be terminated by either party for any reason effective upon the first business day of the calendar year following the termination notice provided at least 30 days in advance.
Lyons and USMM also entered into the Wall Street Conference Business Development Agreement on February 23, 2023 (the “WSCA”), which was also assigned to the parent Company, M2i Global, Inc. In the WSCA, Lyons agreed, for a term of 5 years, to provide USMM with a yearly event sponsorship, including a speaking slot at the Wall Street Conference organized by Lyons, and introductions to, among others, personnel for business development opportunities. In exchange, Lyons will receive $2,000,000 per year in either cash or shares of USMM.’s common stock (if elected, the issuance of shares will be issued at a purchase price of $200 per year).
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 12, 2023, and entered into by and among Inky, Inc. and U.S. M and M Acquisition Corp. and U.S. Minerals and Metals Corp., which is annexed hereto as exhibit 2.01 below, at the time of consummation of the merger, all shares of USMM were simultaneously converted into shares of M2i Global, Inc.’s common stock, and thus, any shares issued by USMM pursuant to the BDA or WSCA, as referenced above are now issued from M2i Global, Inc.
M2i Recycled Minerals &Metals
Critical metals are of vital importance for the defense sector across the air, sea, and land domains. For instance, tantalum is needed in warheads, and high-performing alloys used in fuselages of combat aircraft require niobium, vanadium, and molybdenum.
We see an opportunity to establish a closed-loop, transparent program for capturing and returning critical metals and minerals in the defense industrial supply chain. This program would encompass both new production and end-of-life systems, ensuring that these valuable resources are reused domestically rather than relying on foreign sources.
The defense supply chain presents a significant volume of critical metals that can be effectively recycled and reused. By tapping into this resource and establishing M2i as an efficient supplier of this service, we can capture a considerable market share. This opportunity arises from the fact that no recycling company, to our knowledge, has successfully accomplished this on a large scale thus far.
M2i Government and Industry Affairs
M2i Government and Industry Affairs is the business unit established with the goals of aligning U.S. policy in terms of industry requirements and national interests. The cornerstone of the value proposition of M2i GIA is the creation and management of the Strategic Minerals Reserve (“SMR”) in collaboration with the federal government to enable an uninterrupted supply of the most critical minerals and metals to mitigate the current and future vulnerabilities of this vital supply chain. We expect the SMR to augment or enhance the National Defense Stockpile.
M2i GIA will focus on two key efforts, the implementation of the SMR and the ongoing liaison with the government at the federal, state, and local levels. Critical to the success of the SMR will be the continuing dialogue with key congressional members. We have established congressional support in Nevada and are working to receive both an authorization in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, as well as, an appropriation of funding to enable the implementation of the SMR. M2i GIA also aims to establish a collaboration with Hawthorne Army Depot, located in Hawthorne, Nevada, to obtain the storage and administrative space to conduct a pilot demonstration.
The ongoing liaison with select members of the congressional contingent from Nevada will act to ensure that the SMR pilot retains the focus of each respective office. We expect that the conclusion of a successful pilot will lead to the establishment of the second phase of the SMR, which is to build out the SMR to multiple locations, and to stockpile critical minerals that would extend supply beyond the DOD industry to private sector industry organizations in the event of a disruption to the flow of critical minerals.
Human Capital
Recruiting the right people will be critical to our success. We believe that the team of officers, directors and advisors that we have already assembled will provide a strong foundation for developing our business.
Financing Sources
We estimate that our first two years of operation will require $20-30 million. Our aim is to obtain government funding to meet this need.
Competition
The Company, upon achieving its business objectives, believes it will be one of the only companies that operates across the full spectrum of the mineral and metals industry.
The rare earths mining and processing markets are capital intensive and competitive. Outside of the six (6) major rare earth producers in China, and those consolidated under their production quotas-there are only two other producers operating at scale, MP Materials and Lynas, which processes its rare earth materials in Malaysia. The Company’s competitors may have greater financial resources, as well as other strategic advantages to maintain, improve and possibly expand their facilities.
It is possible that when the Company achieves its anticipated production rates and other planned products, the increased competition could lead competitors to engage in predatory pricing behavior. Any increase in the amount of rare earth products exported from other nations, and increased competition, whether legal or illegal, may result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of potential market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our profitability.
Additionally, our potential Chinese competitors have historically been able to produce at relatively low costs due to domestic economic and regulatory factors, including less stringent environmental regulations. If we are not able to achieve anticipated costs of production, then any strategic advantages that our competitors may have over us, such as lower labor and production costs, could have a material adverse effect on our business. As a result of these factors, we may not be able to compete effectively against current and future competitors.
Many of the Company’s competitors, as well as potential competitors, possess substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than the Company. The Company’s competitors and potential competitors include far larger, more established companies that have access to capital markets, and to other funding sources that may be unavailable to the Company. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures faced by the Company will not materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.
Compliance with Government Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national, state, and local laws and regulations in United States, as well as other jurisdictions, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
We believe that we are and will continue to be in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in the United States. There are no current orders or directions relating to our Company with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An assessment was conducted with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2023, using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO - 2013”).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2023, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1. We do not have an Audit Committee - While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important level control over the Company’s financial statements. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.
2. We did not maintain appropriate cash controls - As of November 30, 2023, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for cash, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signatures on the Company’s bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in its bank accounts.
3. We did not implement appropriate information technology controls - As at November 30, 2023, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.
4. The Company lacks segregation of duties.
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2023 based on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In our annual report for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, we identified the following material weaknesses which are still applicable:
● We do not have an audit committee
● We did not implement appropriate information technology controls
● We did not maintain appropriate cash controls
Management plans to address these material weaknesses in the coming quarters.
In our annual report for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, we identified the following material weaknesses which are no longer applicable:
● Beginning in May 2023, the Company began to improve internal controls by hiring additional resources to ensure appropriate review and oversight.
