Work Program Highlights:
While assay results are still pending, preliminary LIBS testing conducted on the Property revealed anomalous lithium values in the range of 100 to 15,600 parts per million (ppm) Li (1.56% Li or 3.35% Li2O) in the majority of the 36 samples tested. Following the initial LIBS SCANS, 23 samples were selected for assays at an independent certified laboratory.
Handheld laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was employed, a cutting-edge technology that has emerged as a valuable tool for immediate geochemical analysis during initial scanning, aiding in the selection of interesting samples for laboratory analysis. The LIBS device is capable of on-site measurement of lithium content in minerals, rocks, soils, and brines.
Due to extensive moss coverage and dense vegetation on the rocks, a drone was employed during the fieldwork to identify potential pegmatite outcrops and other geologically promising rock formations.
The pegmatite formations consist of quartz, white feldspar and pink k-feldspar, muscovite, some yellowish-green muscovite flakes approximately 1 cm in size, amphibole, some biotite, and a few traces of garnet in certain locations.
Several pegmatites were mapped and sampled during the fieldwork. These pegmatite formations exhibited varying thicknesses, ranging from a few centimeters to 5 meters, and were found within diverse geological formations, including metasedimary, granodiorite and granite lithologies.
The Property is underlain by muscovite bearing granites, felsic intrusives, mafic metavolcanics, and metasedimentary rocks which are trending east west.

The Property is hosted by a muscovite-bearing granite, an S-type peraluminous fertile parental granite according to Breaks et al., 2003 and in contact with metasediments which make excellent hosts for pegmatites. Numerous faults transect the Property providing excellent pathways for granitic melts and evolving pegmatites (Figure 3). Several white pegmatites with garnet and tourmaline have been documented and mapped on the Property by the OGS in 1970 (

Cautionary Statement on Forward Looking Information
This news release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements in this news release relate to, among other things: statements with respect to anticipated exploration program results from exploration activities, the anticipated business plans and timing of future activities of the Company and all other statements that are not historical facts, particularly statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance of the Company. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can be identified through the use of words or phrases such as “will likely result”, “are expected to”, “expects”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimated”, “intends”, “plans”, “forecast”, “projection”, “strategy”, “objective” and “outlook”. Forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made based on reasonable estimates and assumptions made by management of the Company at the relevant time in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that are believed to be appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date of this news release and the Company will not update any such forward-looking statements as a result of new information or if management’s beliefs, estimates, assumptions or opinions change, except as required by law.

Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results, performance, achievements and events to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, operating and technical difficulties in connection with mineral exploration and development activities, actual results of exploration activities, including on the Property, the estimation or realization of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the fact that the Company’s interest in the Property is an option only and there is no guarantee that such interest, if earned, will be certain, capital expenditures, requirements for additional capital, future prices of lithium, changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial markets and in the demand and market price for commodities, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, permits or financing, title disputes, the inability of the Company to obtain any necessary permits, consents, approvals or authorizations, including approval by the
