Vancouver, B.C. – November 17, 2022 – SPOD LITHIUM CORP. (“SPOD” or the “Company”) (CSE:

mineral claims located north of the town of Nipigon in the Province of Ontario. Each of the Sellers is arm’s
length to the Company.
The North Nipigon Project, comprised of three blocks of claims covering approximately 8,475 hectares, is
accessible by four season roads and forestry trails. The Property is underlain by Archean metasediments
and granites, along with Keweenawan age diabase. Pegmatites in the region occur close to and within the
granitic plutons. The Property shares borders with RockTech Lithium’s Georgia Lake Project, Imagine
Lithium’s Jackpot Lithium Project, and Ultra Lithium’s Georgia Lake Project. RockTech’s Project contains
a compliant measured resource of 2.31Mt of 1.04 % Li20 and a compliant indicated resource of 4.31Mt of
0.99 % (Technical Report, NI 43-101, Preliminary Economic Assessment, Georgia Lake, March 15 2021).
There are numerous other known pegmatite occurrences in the region as shown in Figure 1, of which many
have been drilled w ith positive results. On the North Nipigon Project, there have been historical grab
samples of pegmatite boulders which returned assay values of 0.764 % Li2O and 0.685 % Li 2O as shown
in Figure 2 (Ontario Geological Survey AFRI 20000019444).
