Arbor Metals Announces Phase 3 Exploration Plans FOR Jarnet Lithium Project

NEWS RELEASE

ARBOR METALS ANNOUNCES PHASE 3 EXPLORATION PLANS FOR JARNET LITHIUM PROJECT

Vancouver, Canada – May 12th, 2025 – Arbor Metals Corp. (“Arbor” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ABR, FWB:

432) is pleased to announce its Phase 3 exploration program for its wholly owned Jarnet Lithium Project,

located in the Corvette Lake Lithium Camp, Eeyou-Istchee Baie-James territory in Quebec. This exciting

new phase of exploration will include a range of activities aimed at advancing the project to the next stage

of development.

The initial stage of Phase 3 will involve a tree bark survey to test for the presence of elements and metals

identified as strategic by the Canadian Critical Minerals Strategy for transitioning toward a low carbon

economy. Jarnet project claims were initially identified for their lithium potential, but the procession of

volcanic rocks, sediments and intrusion identified on the property allow for the consideration of other

types of targets such as REE, molybdenum, copper and cobalt.

This survey will be conducted by a three-man crew over a ten-day period, during which approximately

500 samples will be collected from areas where anomalous mineralization has previously been observed

in soil sampling, surface sampling, and downhole drilling. The data gathered from this survey will provide

crucial insights into areas of alteration and mineralization, which will be vital for further defining locations

for diamond drilling.

“We are excited to begin Phase 3 of the exploration program at Jarnet Lithium Project,” said Mark

Ferguson, President and CEO of Arbor. “The tree bark survey is an innovative step forward in our

exploration strategy, and the results will be instrumental in guiding our future drilling activities. We look

forward to recommencing diamond drilling toward the end of May, with a focus on new targets at the

Corvette Lake and Firebird claims. This fully funded and permitted drilling program represents a major

milestone in our efforts to define the full lithium potential of the Jarnet Project.”

In addition to the tree bark survey, the Company will recommence diamond drilling toward the end of

May 2025. The drilling program will focus on new targets, including the Corvette Lake and Firebird claims,

both of which have shown promising signs of mineralization in prior exploration work. The program is fully

funded and permitted, and Arbor Metals is committed to preferentially hiring local Indigenous contractors

as part of its ATI (Advanced Technical Investigation) commitments.

The Company will further refine its Phase 3 exploration plans based on the pending results of the Phase 2

exploration program, which are expected in the coming weeks. These results will provide additional

critical data to guide the next stages of the exploration campaign, ensuring a targeted and efficient

approach to evaluating the full potential of the Jarnet Lithium Project.

Both Corvette and Firebord claims are located respectively 2km and 6km south and south-east from the

Corvette 13 pegmatite dykes system covering the Poste Lemoyne pluton.

Arbor is committed to conducting all of its exploration activities with a strong focus on environmental

responsibility. The Company adheres to strict environmental guidelines and industry best practices to

ensure minimal environmental impact throughout the exploration process. Additionally, Arbor is

dedicated to working collaboratively with local Indigenous groups and other stakeholders to ensure its

exploration activities align with the values, needs, and concerns of the communities in which it operates.

The Company values sustainable and responsible development and fosters positive, long-term

relationships with its stakeholders.

Redemption of Corvette Lake Preferred Shares

The Company also announces that a total of 50,000 preferred shares (the “ Preferred Shares ”) of its

subsidiary Corvette Lake Lithium Corp. (“ CLL”) have been redeemed in accordance with their terms and

at the election of the holder. The Preferred Shares represent all of the outstanding share capital of CLL

not already owned by the Company.

The Preferred Shares were outstanding at the time of the acquisition of CLL by the Company and were

redeemable by the holder at a price of $100 per share in the event mineral exploration conducted on the

Corvette Lake and St. Pierre properties demonstrated the existence of lithium mineralization. Assay

results received by the Company have now provided evidence of such mineralization and the holder has

elected to redeem. The Company has satisfied the redemption price of the Preferred Shares in full and

CLL is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

For further information regarding the acquisition of CLL, readers are encouraged to review the news

release issued by the Company on February 26, 2024.

About Arbor Metals Corp.

Arbor Metals Corp. is a mining explora Ɵon company focused on developing high -value, geographically

significant mineral projects worldwide. Arbor is paving the way for advanced mineral explora Ɵon as it

oversees world-class mining projects. The Company is confident that combining quality projects with

proven strategies and a dedicated team will yield excepƟonal outcomes.

The Jarnet, CorveƩe Lake and St. Pierre lithium project s, located in the James Bay region of Quebec,

comprises 83 map-designated claims, covering an area of approximately 5,606 hectares. The projects are

conƟguous to the Corve Ʃe-FCI property, where diamond drilling has confirmed significant lithium

mineralizaƟon represenƟng one of the highest-profile lithium exploraƟon projects in the sector.

The Kemlee Lake Lithium project is strategically located three kilometers east of Rock Tech Lithium Inc.'s

Aumacho claim blocks and twelve kilometers south of the Georgia Lake Project. The Project shares many

geological similariƟes with the prolific Georgia Lake deposit, including bedrock geology and the presence

of massive intrusive dykes. The primary target at the Project will be spodumene- bearing pegma Ɵtes

hosted in metasediments.
