NOVA Lithium Announces Termination of Edwards Creek Valley Option
NOVA LITHIUM ANNOUNCES TERMINATION OF EDWARDS CREEK VALLEY OPTION
Vancouver, BC – June 6, 2024 – Nova Lithium Corp. (“Nova” or the “Company”) (CSE: NVLI) (OTC Pink:
NVLIF) announces the termination of the mineral property option agreement dated January 31, 2023 (the
“Option Agreement”) between Nova’s wholly owned Nevada subsidiary (“Nova USA”) and a wholly owned
Nevada subsidiary of Ameriwest Lithium Inc. (“ Ameriwest”) (CSE: AWLI) (OTC: AWLIF) (FSE: 5HV0)
(“Oakley USA”). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Nova USA acquired the exclusive right and option (the
“Option”) to purchase a 51% undivided interest in and to Oakley USA’s Edwards Creek Valley project (the
“Property”), which consists of 1,243 contiguous placer mineral claims covering approximately 22,200 acres
in Churchill County, Nevada.
In order to exercise the Option, Nova USA was required to incur certain minimum qualifying exploration
expenditures on the Property and maintain the Property in good standing by paying all taxes and
maintenance charges . Neither of these conditions was satisfied, with the result that Ameriwest paid
approximately US$220,000 in claim maintenance fees on Nova USA’s behalf to retain title to the Property
since the date of the Option Agreement.
To resolve any and all potential disputes between them, Nova, Nova USA, Ameriwest and Oakley USA
entered into a settlement and termination agreement dated June 3, 2024 (the “ Settlement Agreement”).
The Settlement Agreement provides for the immediate termination of the Option Agreement and all related
obligations, includes mutual releases, and also requires Nova to pay C$150,000 to Ameriwest in the form
of 1,500,000 common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.10 per Share, which
Shares were formally issued on the date of the Settlement Agreement and are subject to a hold per iod of
four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws.
In addition, Nova announces that Glenn Collick has resigned as a director in order to pursue other
opportunities. The Company would like to thank Mr. Collick for his contributions and wish him well in his
future endeavours.
