ARCTIC FOX ANNOUNCES PHASE 2 EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT PONTAX NORTH

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (October 3, 2024) – Arctic Fox Lithium Corp. (CSE: AFX / FSE: O5K)

(the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it will be commencing its Phase 2 exploration campaign at the

Pontax North property, located in the James Bay region of Québec. Building on the successful outcome from

Phase 1, the next phase will target three primary areas of interest, as highlighted in the map below, for an

intensive stripping and sampling program.

Phase 2 Exploration program details:

Following the identification of both a promising geological context and rare metals anomalies after the 2023 and

early 2024 exploration programs , the exploration team will now focus on the most prospective areas highlighted

to date.

The overall objective of the Phase 2 program is to further delineate and evaluate the mineral potential of these

high priority areas through targeted stripping and detailed geological mapping and sampling . Six targeted

outcrops over three high priority areas will therefore undergo further evaluation (See figure below) :

1. Area 1: A region highlighting significant anomalies in cesium, niobium, beryllium and tantalum, which

align with signatures of LCT (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum) pegmatites.

2. Area 2: A high potential zone featuring white biotite-garnet bearing pegmatites, closely associated with

rare metal anomalies up to 106 ppm Li and 11.2 ppm Cs discovered during Phase 1.

3. Area 3: A high potential zone featuring biotite-muscovite-garnet bearing pegmatites, closely associated

with lithium anomalies up to 54 ppm Li discovered during Phase 1.

The Phase 2 exploration program is scheduled to begin in the coming week and is expected to take 10-15 days to

complete.

Harry Chew, Chief Executive Officer of Arctic Fox, commented, “Our Phase 1 exploration results have

highlighted strong indicators of the potential for lithium and other strategic minerals on the Pontax North

property. As we get ready for Phase 2, our focus will be on these three key areas, where the geological conditions

are favorable. We are confident that this next phase of exploration will bring us a deeper understanding of the

property’s full potential.

About Arctic Fox Lithium Corp.

Arctic Fox Lithium Corp. is a junior mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of

mineral properties containing battery, base and precious metals.

The Company’s 2,756-hectare Pontax North Lithium Project (“Pontax North”) is located 12 km south of Allkem

Ltd. (ASX/TSX:ALLKEM) (“ Allkem”) James Bay Lithium Project and 12 km north of Stria Lithium Inc.’s

(CSE:SRA) Pontax Lithium Project, located in northern Québec, approximately 130 km e ast of James Bay and

the Cree Nation’s Eastmain community.

The northern portion of Pontax North contains a lithium prospective zone in a similar geological environment to

Allkem’s project. According to the Quebec Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources Naturelles (MERN) the

Causabiscau Suite is characterized by the abundance of S -type pegmatitic granite intrusions, a lithology known

for its Be, Li, Cs, Nb, and Ta potential. Beryl (a beryllium silicate mineral) is reported in several outcrops within

this zone. The Property is known to contain a 10 km long pegmatite trend as mapped by MERN. This trend

appears to be underexplored, despite its recognized lithium potential. Swarms of lithium -bearing granitic dykes

are present 12 km north of the Property at Al lkem’s Cyr deposit and at Stria Lithium’s Pontax deposit 12 km to

the south.
