Canter Outlines Significant Subsurface Brine Target
with Updated 3D Modeling
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 20, 2024 – Canter Resources Corp. (CSE:CRC | OTC:CNRCF
| FRA:6O1) (“Canter” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Company has completed a
comprehensive 3D model that incorporates all of the recently reinterpreted geophysical data and third
party datasets. The new 3D model has further refined the understanding of subsurface structures and
potential lithium-bearing brine formations covering an expanded 5 by 10 kilometre (“km”) target area
outlined within the central part of the Columbus Lithium-Boron Project (“Columbus” or the “Project”).
Hybrid Source Audio-Magneto Telluric (HSAMT) geophysical data provides an important guide for
targeting conductive bodies, with low resistivity values indicating the presence of highly conductive
material interpreted to represent brine fluids within aquifers and pore spaces. There are numerous
examples of lithium-brines correlating to HSAMT resistivity values of <1 ohm metre and the Company
views the <0.5 ohm-metre resistivity as particularly favourable for potential lithium (“Li”) concentrations
(see Figures 1 and 2).
“Our new detailed 3D work integrates our structural and stratigraphic interpretations and provides us
with a predictive exploration model that leverages historical drilling and 15 years of reprocessed
geophysical data,” stated Joness lang, CEO of Canter. “Most importantly, the 3D rendering of HSAMT
resistivity shells shows a very compelling brine target that our team is excited to begin testing with
Geoprobe and exploration well drilling during our Phase I program.”
The HSAMT ground-based geophysical method has enabled the mapping of subsurface resistivity
through detailed 3D modeling, indicating several resistivity-defined shells spanning a volume extending
5 km wide by 10 km long and down to depths of approximately 600 metres. These highly conductive
shells, indicative of brine solutions, are the focus of the Company’s lithium enriched targeting efforts.
Supporting the HSAMT data, historical surface sampling and prior drilling in less conductive areas,
considered less prospective, have yielded lithium values up to 1600 ppm and boron levels exceeding
10,000 ppm, revealing a multi-tiered aquifer system.
To the Company’s knowledge, the upcoming drilling will represent the first drilling within the Columbus
Basin that tests zones with resistivity values indicating this degree of conductivity. The priority target
area is well within the Company’s 23,000-acre Columbus property package and expanding HSAMT
coverage will be considered later this year.

It is pertinent to acknowledge certain limitations associated with HSAMT data interpretation,
specifically regarding the attenuation of electromagnetic signals as they traverse highly conductive
layers. This can result in an underestimation of the true depth and lateral extent of conductive zones.
Nonetheless, corroborative geological data from historic drilling, demonstrating notable lithium
concentrations at depths extending below the Company’s modeled 1-ohm metre shell, suggest that
conductive brine reservoirs may indeed extend deeper than initially interpreted from HSAMT data alone.
Further supporting the potential for significant depth extension of these brine-bearing formations is the
structurally closed nature of the Columbus Basin, coupled with the presence of a profound gravity
low—evidencing a depth to basement rocks of approximately 4 km. This structural configuration and
geophysical anomaly provide compelling additional lines of evidence for the potential existence of
extensive, deep-seated brine reservoirs within the basin.
