Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2026) - NU E Power Corp. (CSE: NUE) (OTC Pink: NUEPF) (FSE: NUE1) ("NUE" or the "Company") announces that it has received provisional accreditation as a Business and Industry entity observer to the seventeenth session of the Conference of the Parties ("COP17") to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification ("UNCCD"), scheduled to be held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from August 17 to 28, 2026.

Final accreditation remains subject to a decision by the Parties during COP17. If final accreditation is granted, NUE would be eligible to participate as an observer in the COP17 process in accordance with applicable UNCCD procedures.

The provisional accreditation follows NUE's previously announced application and builds on the Company's ongoing activities in Mongolia. On April 14, 2026, NUE announced that it had entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Tsegtskharaa LLC to advance the proposed Darkhan Energy Park and had commenced environmental and feasibility work related to the project.

NUE views provisional observer accreditation as a constructive step in its continued engagement with Mongolia and with international policy discussions relating to land use, infrastructure planning, sustainable development, and desertification. The Company also expects to evaluate participation in related Business and Industry programming, including Business 4 Land initiatives, where appropriate.

Management Commentary

"Provisional observer accreditation to COP17 is a constructive development for NUE as we continue to advance our Mongolia activities through a disciplined, stage-gated process. If final accreditation is granted, participation at the UNCCD would allow NUE to engage with broader discussions relating to land use, infrastructure planning, and sustainable development in Mongolia, while continuing to evaluate the proposed Darkhan Energy Park subject to feasibility, permitting, financing, grid access, offtake, and other project-development conditions."

- Broderick Gunning, Chief Executive Officer, NU E Power Corp.
