Exploration Update on the
North Elko Lithium Project, Nevada
London, Ontario – Peloton Minerals Corporation (“ Peloton” or the “Company”) (CSE
Symbol: PMC; OTCQB Symbol: PMCCF) is pleased to report that a multi-faceted exploration
program underway at the 100% owned North Elko Lithium Project (NELP) in northeastern Nevada
has identified an area approximately 25 kilometers square that contains anomalous lithium in an
alkaline paleolake basin environment of deposition (the “Target Area”) . This environment is the
same as that of the adjacent property of Surge Battery Metals Inc. (Surge) where a significant
lithium deposit has been found within clay layers in an alkaline paleolake basin environment.
Geologic mapping suggests the Target Area sampled at surface is likely higher in the stratigraphy
than the lithium clay layers identified on Surge’s property beside NELP, and that drilling is
warranted to test the potential of clay layers below surface. A cross section published by Surge in
its July 23, 2024 press release shows the clay layers dipping toward NELP, and projects those
layers to within 1 .0 to 1.5 kilometers of NELP.
In addition to geologic mapping and soil geochemistry across the property, over 300 samples were
analyzed using X -Ray Diffraction (XRD). This technique identified over 100 mineral species,
many of which are formed by alteration of tephra in the paleolake-basin environment (a historic
lake or caldera) and include several lithium-bearing minerals such as hectorite and fluorohectorite.
Surprisingly, the presence of detrital lithium-bearing magmatic type minerals such as tavorite,
amblygonite, and others was also identified although further study will be necessary to determine
potential implications.
The next phase of exploration will be to employ a surface geophysical technique (tTEM and ERT)
to map the depth and widths of potential underlying clay layers , a technique that has been
successfully used by Surge. This work would be followed by shallow packsack drilling for near
surface targets or with a larger drilling rig for targets below 20 feet.
Mr. Edward (Ted) Ellwood , President and CEO commented, “We are pleased with the positive
results achieved to date. This great start shows we are hunting in the right environment, and we
are excited about commencing the next phase of our exploration program .”

which may cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated and which may prove to be in correct.
Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, management's expectations regardi ng its ability to initiate and complete
future exploration work as expected . Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation,
operational risks in the completion of the Company’s future exploration work; tec hnical, safety or regulatory issues; availability of
