Genius Metals Inc. presented its 2023 exploration program devoted to find and sample lithium-bearing granitic pegmatites on its Sakami and Iserhoff projects located within the prolific James Bay Territory and northern Abitibi belt of Quebec. The two projects constitute a vast land package located in deformed greenstone belts where historical exploration was concentrated on gold mineralization. However, the properties may hold untapped lithium potential since no historical exploration took place targeting this commodity.

Exploration Highlights:- An elororation campaign on the Sakami property to assess the lithium potential of a vast land package covering more than 180 km2 of the La Grande greenstone belt, in an area never explored for its lithium mineralization. Recent discoveries in the greenstone belts of the James Bay Territory highlight the favorable geological and structural environment to discover lithium-bearing pegmatites. -- Historical geophysical and geochemical surveys searching for gold mineralization are being reinterpreted from a lithium exploration perspective.

Several areas showing lithium till anomalies were discovered on the Sakami property, and these will be investigated in hope of identifying and sampling lithium-bearing pegmatites. The Company has more than tripled its land package of the Abitibi belt's Iserhoff property by acquiring adjacent claims. South of the property, Mosaic Minerals' Lithium SM property hosts several lithium-bearing pegmatites and felsic intrusions. SakamProrospecting CampaignGenius Metals' 100% -owned kami property comprises 588 claims covering 30302 km(2) with more than 180 km(2) incorporating volcano-sedimentary rocks of the La Grande greenstone belt over a length of 30 km.

The greenstone belts constitute a favorable geological setting for the discovery of lithium-bearing pegmatites since it is in structural contact with the metasedimentary Opinaca basin. At the SW end of the La Grande greenstone belt, Harfang Exploration has discovered lithium-bearing pegmatites in the SE portion of its Serpent-Radisson property near the Sakami Lake.
