ROCK EDGE COMMENCES 2023 FIELD PROGRAMS
Vancouver, British Columbia , May 2, 2023: Rock Edge Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Rock
Edge”) (CSE:REDG) is pleased to announce the Company has commenced its 2023 field programs
on their Maun, Terrier and Pag North properties located in northwestern Ontario.
The Maun and Terrier properties are located to the northeast of Rock Edge’s Superb Lake property
which hosts the spodumene bearing Superb Lake Pegmatite along with lithium/niobium/tantalum
mineralization including four samples which returned lithium oxide (Li2O) values in the range of
1.77% to 4.03% and a recorded surface channel of 2.47% Li2O over 3.2 m, which includes 5.84% Li2O over
1.1 m. The Superb Lake and Maun properties are also prospective for gold mineralization as they
are located to the north along the same fault trend as the past producing Louisianna Gold Mine.
There are numerous gold/silver/copper/lead/zinc showings in the area including a grab sample in
the Holm area taken the Company that assayed 29.6 grams per tonne gold. Grab samples are
selected samples and not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.
The Terrier property is located in a favorable location along the edge of a muscovite -bearing
granitic pluton, a peraluminous S-type fertile parental granite (Breaks et al., 2003) and in contact
with metasediments which make excellent hosts for rare-element bearing pegmatites. Historical
drill holes from the 1950s, just off the north edge of the property, noted intersecting pegmatite
intervals up to 30m wide containing garnet, tourmaline, muscovite and local fluorite
mineralization. However, the pegmatites were not sampled. Reconnaissanc e mapping by the
Ontario Department of Mines in 1931 noted several pegmatites on the Terrier property.

The recently expanded Pag North properties (see April 17, 2023 press release), situated
approximately 25k m east of Longlac, Ontario provides a large prospective property which
straddles the boundary between the East Wabigoon and Quetico subprovinces. These terrane
boundaries are integrally related to the location of northwestern Ontario lithium deposits and
occurrences, as the act as deep -seated sutures for parental granitic melts (Breaks et al., 2003).
The boundary is also favorable to host gold mineralization and there are several gold showings
from historical Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) mappings.

The field program will consist of “boots on the ground” greenfield exploration comprised of
detailed mapping and sampling aimed to identify lithium bearing pegmatites and potential
gold/silver/copper/zinc mineralization across the properties. Channel sampling with be
performed on any discovered favorable showings.
Charles Desjardins, CEO of Rock Edge, states, “We are excited to begin the process of delineating
lithium bearing pegmatites across these three under -explored properties. Based on historical
mapping from the OGS, proximal showings, and research from historical drilling proximal to the
properties, we are confident that we will be successful in locating lithium bearing pegmatites.
This is the first step in identifying drill targets and continuously moving towards meeting the
growing demand for the crucial minerals we need to advance greener energy solutions.”
