Mergers & Acquisitions Property Options & Staking

EEE EXPLORATION CORP. EXECUTES OPTION AGREEMENTS

FOR ONTARIO LITHIUM EXPLORATION PROPERTIES

Vancouver, B.C. – July 28, 2022 – EEE EXPLORATION CORP. (“EEE” or the “Company”) (CSE:

EEE) is pleased to announce that it has entered into two purchase option agreements for lithium properties

in the province of Ontario dated July 25, 2022, with Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd. and 1544230 Ontario Inc.

(collectively the “Optionors”). Each of the Optionors is arm’s length to the Company.

Under the first agreement (the “Barbara Agreement”), EEE has the option to acquire a 100% interest in

two unpatented mining claims (the “Barbara Property”) by making aggregate cash payments of $120,000

to the Optionors ($20,000 on execution of the Barbara Agreement, $26,000 on July 25, 2023, $30,000 on

July 25, 2024, and $44,000 on July 25, 2025 ) and by issuing an aggregate of 800,000 Class A common

shares of EEE to the Optionors on execution of the Option Agreement or as soon as practicable thereafter.

The shares have been issued and are subject to a four month hold period pursuant to applicable securities

laws. On successful exercise of the option, EEE will also grant the Optionors an aggregate 1.5% net smelter

returns royalty with respect to the Barbara Property. EEE will have the right to purchase 0.5% of the royalty

(leaving a 1.0% royalty) at any time by paying an aggregate sum of $500,000 to the Optionors.

The 550-acre Barbara Lake property is located in the Thunder Bay South Geological district approximately

1.6 km south of the west end of Georgia Lake and is accessible via logging roads. The Barbara Property is

centered on the historical Niemi lithium and rare-earth pegmatite occurrence (Ontario Geological Survey,

MDI42E05SW00017) which was discovered in 1955. The Niemi occurrence is hosted within a pegmatite

body that has been outlined along strike for 420 ft, ranging in widths from 4.1 to 100 ft with two limbs

resembling a “U” shape. The Eastern 300 feet of the identified pegmatite is spodumene-bearing, with the

eastern-most 100 ft being well mineralized across the 100 ft width. Historical exploration drilling in 1955

totaled 35 short scout holes totaling 405 meters. Historic drillhole G -7 intersected 15.5 ft of pegmatite

averaging 1.02% Li2O of which 5 ft contained 2.0% Li2O. More recent prospecting and sampling was

conducted in 2009 by TNR Gold Corporation. Ultra-Lithium has recently begun drilling on its neighboring

Georgia Lake Lithium Property (Ultra Lithium press release July 5, 2022) and the area has been very active

for lithium exploration in recent years with Rock Tech Lithium and Imagine Lithium currently conducting

significant drilling programs.

Under the second agreement (the “Ferdinand Agreement”), EEE has the option to acquire a 100% interest

in two unpatented mining claims (the “ Ferdinand Property”) by making aggregate cash payments of

$50,200 to the Optionors ($ 5,200 on execution of the Ferdinand Agreement, $10,000 on July 25, 2023,

$15,000 on July 25, 2024, and $20,000 on July 25, 2025) and by making minimum exploration expenditures

of $30,000 on the Ferdinand Property on or before July 25, 2023. On successful exercise of the option, EEE

will also grant the Optionors an aggregate 1.5% net smelter returns royalty with respect to the Ferdinand

Property. EEE will have the right to purchase 0.5% of the royalty (leaving a 1.0% royalty) at any time by

paying an aggregate sum of $500,000 to the Optionors.

The 1,250-acre Ferdinand property is located 20km northwest of Slate Falls, Ontario and accessible by float

plane or nearby logging roads. The property is centered on the Ferdinand Lake No 1 and No 2 mineral

occurrences (On tario Geological Survey MDI52O04NW00007 & MDI52O04NW00006) which are

associated with pegmatites and gneiss -hosted quartz veins, containing anomalous to economic

concentrations of molybdenum, lithium, and copper. The property has not had any significant exploration

work conducted on it since 1982. The property is hosted within the Uchi Sub province which also hosts

the McCombe Lake, and Root Lake lithium deposits now controlled by Green Technology Metals of

Australia.
