MANSUR 3 TEST WELL RETURNS UP TO 217 MG/L LITHIUM

CONCENTRATIONS,

ESTABLISHES ENTIRE NEW PROJECT AREA

Vancouver, British Columbia, January 23, 2025 – EMP Metals Corp. (CSE: EMPS) (OTCQB:

EMPPF) (“EMP Metals” or the “Company ”) is pleased to announce the successful drilling and

multi-layer perforation and swab testing of the third wellbore located in the Mansur project area,

southeast Saskatchewan (see Figure 1).

Mansur Well 1-29 returned 217 mg/L in the Wymark D zon e (for detailed test results refer to

Table 1). This is the third test well EMP has drilled that has returned Lithium concentrations over

200 mg/L.

Key highlights:

• Step out of 13 km from the initial northern Mansur test wellbores.

• 8 zones of interest were tested with concentrations of 217 mg/L in the Wymark D, and 150

mg/L in the Wymark C.

• Additional concentration data continues to support the hypothesis of a contiguous resource.

• Third party laboratory testing was used to confirm the results.

Table 1 - Test Results:

Target Interval Li Concentration (mg/L)

Wymark E&F 111

Wymark D 217

Wymark C 150

Wymark B 83

Wymark A 72

Saskatoon A 60

Souris River 38

Note: Independent laboratory testing was conducted by Isobrine Solutions (Edmonton, Alberta)

Paul Schubach, COO, commented, “These test results continue to prove the tremendous lithium

resource potential of our Saskatchewan land base and we continue to see strong and consistent

concentrations in both the Wymark D and Wymark C intervals. It is important to note that the

Mansur project area was not included in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of the

lithium brines in the Viewfield project area (see press releases dated January 9, 2024 and

February 15, 2024) (refer to Figure 1 map showing Viewfield PEA acreage in red outline). 1 The

results confirm the Mansur project area as an independent location for potential future

commercial lithium production .”

Preliminary Economic Assessment Cautionary Note

The Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Viewfield Lithium Brine Project is preliminary in

nature and includes inferred resources that are considered too speculative to have the economic

considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves

and there is no certainty the estimates presented in the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources

that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
