🙏René Bharti Obituary
https://www.legacy.com/ca/obituaries/theglobeandmail/name/ren-bharti-obituary?id=61379567
Taken far too soon, it is with profound sadness that the family of René Michael Bharti announce his sudden passing on April 15, 2026, at the young age of 52. Born in Liperi, Finland on September 21, 1973, to parents Stan and Hannele Bharti, René's life was always one of travel and adventure. After moving as a young boy from Finland, to Zambia, to Vancouver; he and his family finally settled into Sudbury, Ontario, Canada where his father worked as a mining engineer for Falconbridge Ltd. The first born of three boys (André Bharti, Julian Bharti), René's passion in the arts shone brightly from an early age as he fell in love with the piano. He began a lifelong obsession with the instrument as a very young boy and continued to compose and play music into his all-too-short adulthood. There wasn't a piano located in any city in the world that he wouldn't hop on and tickle its ivories; no matter who was watching or what the outcome would be. If the piano was there, René was on it. Simple as that. It also didn't hurt him with the ladies. His other obsession growing up was the martial arts, and he practiced Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate with a passion during his high school years and into his university days. If you wanted to find him after school hours, you would have to either visit the dojo or look in the basement as he worked on his kata or kicked the heavy bag with a fervor. René was one of those rare breeds that was able to thrive in both artsy and business pursuits, and after graduating from Lasalle High school, René was accepted into the Bachelor of Commerce program at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. While pursuing his academics, he never let school get in the way of forging amazing, lifelong friendships while orchestrating controlled chaos along the way. Through all the fun, laughs and debauchery, he managed to graduate with an Honors Degree in Commerce in 1996. René's post-graduate years saw him blend both the arts and financial worlds. In 1996, he moved to New York City to study acting at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he once again shone not only as a student, but also as a beacon of light in a dark room. Quick with a joke, he captured an audience while going to class, living up the nightlife or flirting with girls; not necessarily in that order. After graduating from acting school, René brought his musical talents back to Toronto and co-founded the recording studio, Company X Audio. During this time, he would find himself between Canada and the U.S., pursuing deals and dreams in the place that only a true star can shine in…Los Angeles. A talented musician, artist and business entrepreneur, René started Arht Media; one of the first hologram companies in the world; AmmPower, a leading company using sustainable hydrogen power; Avion, a gold company in Africa, and Consolidated Lithium, a leader in lithium and rare earths in Quebec. He also co-founded Future Fertility Inc.; a company that uses the power of A.I. to collaborate with fertility professionals to empower patients at all stages of their futility journey. The Company named their first product, Violet, as a tribute to René's daughter, who was conceived via I.V.F. and inspired the mission of Future Fertility. Although, he was known for his ability to hustle, raise funds and get deals closed with his charm and persistence, René was far more proud of his two children, Tristan and Violet Bharti. Tristan is shining the light for his father, and has made René remarkably proud by being a responsible, talented, and charismatic young man, all while having those good looks that were passed down from father-to-son. It didn't hurt that René was notoriously picky, and Tristan's mother, Jennifer, didn't put any chlorine in this gene pool. Violet, (his daughter with Paulina), is already making her parents proud with her beautiful smile, charming attitude, amazing personality and sense of style…all at only 8 years of age. And once again, the apple doesn't fall from the tree. René was always immensely proud of what a beautiful young lady she has become. To a beloved son, brother, father and friend; know that you will be eternally missed by all those who were blessed enough to be captivated by your jokes, charisma and your infectious presence. We'll mourn you until we join you. You will always be loved. Now and forever. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for May 28th from 5 – 9 p.m. at Sofia Restaurant, 99 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto. Please RSVP to KGILL@FORBESMANHATTAN.COM Condolences may be forwarded through www.humphreymiles.com.

https://money.tmx.com/quote/CLM:CC/news/5260063330662576/Consolidated_Lithium_Metals_Provides_Update_on_Kwyjibo_Rare_Earth_Project
TORONTO, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc. (TSXV: CLM | FRA: Z36 | OTCQB: JORFF) (“CLM” or the “Company”) announces today that it has entered into an amendment effective February 4, 2026 (the “Amendment”) to the previously announced definitive agreement dated November 17, 2025, between the Company and SOQUEM Inc. (“SOQUEM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Investissement Québec, pursuant to which the Company has acquired an option to earn, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, an undivided interest of up to 80% in the Kwyjibo Rare Earth Project (the “Project”), located 125 km northeast of the city of Sept-Îles, in the Côte-Nord region of Québec (the “Transaction”). The purpose of the Amendment is to clarify certain provisions with respect to the mechanism of issuing common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) to SOQUEM as consideration pursuant to the Transaction (the “Consideration Shares”), further to the review of the Transaction by the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).
Pursuant to the Amendment:
the number of Consideration Shares issuable to SOQUEM as consideration to earn a 60% and an additional 20% undivided interest in the Project is limited to no more than an aggregate of 110,000,000 and 90,000,000 Common Shares, respectively;
no Consideration Shares shall be issued to SOQUEM if, as a result of such issuance, SOQUEM’s undiluted holding of CLM’s common shares would represent 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, or if SOQUEM would otherwise become an insider of CLM, in which case CLM shall have the right to pay the applicable milestone amount to SOQUEM in cash in lieu of issuing Consideration Shares;
SOQUEM undertook not to acquire Common Shares without approval of the TSXV if, as a result of such acquisition, SOQUEM’s undiluted holding of Common Shares would represent 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares; and
no Consideration Shares shall be issued to SOQUEM if the applicable closing price of Common Shares on the TSXV is less than $0.05, in which case CLM will pay the applicable milestone amount to SOQUEM in cash in lieu of issuing Consideration Shares.
In addition, the Company notes that the Project remains subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty in favor of Iron Ore Company of Canada. For more information about the Transaction, please see the Company’s press release dated November 18, 2025, which is available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Grades reported (1%+ Li2O) are consistent with early-stage but promising pegmatite systems
🧭 3. Strategic Assessment: CLM’s Position in the Québec Lithium Ecosystem
Here’s where your analytical instincts kick in, Tom — and the page content gives us enough to map CLM’s strategic posture.
A. Strengths
Multiple lithium properties in a proven district
Consistent drill results showing spodumene mineralization
Partnership with SOQUEM, a Québec government-backed entity
This is a major credibility signal
SOQUEM partnerships often precede accelerated development
Expansion into rare earths via Kwyjibo
Diversifies risk
Aligns with Québec’s critical minerals push
Active financing pipeline
Multiple private placements
LIFE offering closed
B. Weaknesses / Risks
Still pre-resource (no NI 43-101 resource estimate visible on the page)
Heavy reliance on continuous financing
Lithium market volatility
Competition from larger Québec players (Sayona, Piedmont, Patriot, Winsome, etc.)
C. Opportunities
Québec’s government is aggressively supporting critical minerals
SOQUEM partnership could accelerate permitting and exploration
Rare earth exposure (Kwyjibo) gives CLM a second strategic commodity
Consolidation trend in Québec lithium could make CLM a takeover target
D. Threats
Market downturns affecting junior miners
Drilling results may not scale into economic tonnage
Financing dilution
Competition for skilled labor and drill capacity in Québec
🎯 Final Synthesis
Based on the page you’re viewing:
Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc is a Québec-focused lithium explorer (formerly Jourdan Resources) that is steadily advancing multiple pegmatite properties, consistently raising capital, reporting drill results, and now expanding into rare earths through a major partnership with SOQUEM.
It is positioned as a small but strategically aligned player in Québec’s critical minerals ecosystem, with potential upside if its drilling continues to confirm scale or if consolidation accelerates in the region.

CLM shall be entitled to enter into discussions with SOQUEM and Investissement Québec to acquire the remaining 20% interest in the Project; and
CLM anticipates financing the Proposed Transaction through a combination of internal and external project financing resources, the support of existing shareholders, and the assistance of financial advisors.

About the Project
The Project consists of mining claims, applications, leases or other forms of mineral rights hosting an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG)-style mineral system with significant rare earth enrichment, particularly neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy), Yttrium (Y) and terbium (Tb).
The Project is located near established infrastructure, including the QNS&L rail line and the Port of Sept-Îles, and the Company believes it can benefit from access to Québec’s hydroelectric power grid.
SOQUEM has conducted extensive exploration, geophysics, and metallurgical test work to date, which the Company believes establishes a foundation for the advancement towards feasibility.
Management Commentary
Richard Quesnel, CEO of CLM, commented:
“This LOI with SOQUEM represents a unique opportunity to potentially partner with a Québec government-backed entity on what we believe to be one of the province’s most strategically important rare earth assets. With a forecasted demand increase for NdPr and heavy rare earths, we anticipate that the Project positions CLM as a potential key supplier to North American and European supply chains. The phased earn-in structure described in the LOI ensures disciplined capital allocation as we advance this Project toward development.”
The Proposed Transaction is an arm’s length transaction for the purposes of the policies of the TSXV and remains subject to several closing conditions including, without limitation, (a) execution of a Definitive Agreement between the parties, (b) the receipt by the Company of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV, (c) each party's representations and warranties in the Definitive Agreement being true and correct in all aspects as of the closing date, and (d) each party satisfying its covenants and obligations as contained in the Definitive Agreement.
