REAlloys Appoints The Honorable Brad Wall former Premier of Saskatchewan to Corporate Board of Directors

DALLAS, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blackboxstocks Inc. (NASDAQ:BLBX), ("Blackbox" or the "Company"), announces that its merger target REalloys Inc. ("REA" or "REalloys") a vertically integrated critical mineral company, today announced the appointment of Brad Wall, former Premier of Saskatchewan, to its Corporate Board of Directors.

Brad Wall served as the 14th Premier of Saskatchewan, leading the province from 2007 to 2018 with a focus on economic growth, fiscal responsibility, and opportunity creation. First elected to public office in 1999, over his 18-year career in public service, Mr. Wall established a legacy of transformative leadership in Canada. During his decade as Premier, his administration's growth plan included sweeping reforms to labour legislation, reductions in taxes, and improvements to regulatory environments to enhance economic competitiveness. Under his leadership the province's employment sector expanded by 60,000 new jobs. His government reduced the province's operating debt by nearly $1 billion and secured Saskatchewan's first-ever AAA credit rating, reflecting sound fiscal management and economic stability.

Mr. Wall retired from public life in 2018, while remaining active in the private sector. He currently acts as a special advisor to the national law firm Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP and serves as a member of the Advisory Board of the Canada American Business Council. He also holds directorships with Whitecap Resources, NexGen Energy, Helium Evolution, and Maxim Power.

As REalloys accelerates in building out its vertically integrated critical mineral supply chain, with fully owned upstream asset Hoidas Lake in Saskatchewan, an MOU with The Saskatchewan Research Council on a strategic collaborative relationship in which SRC will provide midstream services to REA in support of this effort, and downstream capability with the acquisition of PMT Critical Metals in the United States, The Honorable Brad Wall will contribute his extensive leadership expertise to ensure REalloys' consortium benefits the citizens of the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada as a nation, and North American national defence interests in a rapid and responsible manner.

Mr. Wall commented, "REalloys' vision for building a vertically integrated rare earth supply chain entirely independent from Chinese materials and technology, represents a major evolutionary step forward in the United States' and Canada's ability to defend their national interests. The opportunity to help shape this consortium is both stimulating and aligned with my commitment to serve the public good of our citizens. I'm excited to support the REalloys team in turning a bold plan into operational outcomes that can transform North American national security."
