Arbor Metals Commences Phase 2 Drilling at Jarnet Lithium Project
NEWS RELEASE
ARBOR METALS COMMENCES PHASE 2 DRILLING AT JARNET LITHIUM PROJECT
Vancouver, Canada – February 11, 2025 – Arbor Metals Corp. (“Arbor” or the “ Company”) (TSXV: ABR,
FWB: 432) is pleased to announce the commencement of its Phase 2 diamond drilling program at its
wholly owned Jarnet Lithium Project, located in the Corvette Lake Lithium Camp, Eeyou-Istchee Baie-
James territory in the Quebec North region. The fully funded 2025 Phase 2 program calls for up to 6,000
meters of NQ2 holes on its Jarnet claims. Concurrently, the Company has applied for an ATI (Advanced
Technical Investigation) to expand the program to include several high-value targets on the Firebird,
Corvette, and St. Pierre claims.
Phase 2 drilling is focused on exploration of targets on the Jarnet 1 and 2 blocks, which were tested in
Phase 1, and which were identified through rock and till sampling surveys. In addition, and subject to
additional permitting, targets identified on the Firebird, Corvette and St-Pierre claims will also be tested.
The Company reserves the possibility to change drilling priorities based on observations.
The Phase 1 drilling campaign, conducted in late 2024, focused on six target areas within the Jarnet 1 and
Jarnet 2 claim groups. These targets were selected based on anomalous soil and rock samples, alongside
geophysical interpretations completed earlier in the year. Hole depths ranged from 89 meters to 302
meters, and the drilling program yielded 663 core samples, which have been sent for immediate
laboratory analysis with quality control material.
Granitic pegmatites were encountered and sampled in nine of the ten drill holes, covering five of the six
target areas. Notably, molybdenite was observed in pegmatitic quartz veins in five drill holes across three
separate target zones. These veins are hosted in quartz monzonite.
Phase 1 drilling was performed by Forage et Construction Muskw, a joint venture between Forage Fusion
Drilling and the Cree community, represented by Saskounan. Muskw, based in Chisasibi, Quebec, is co-
owned and predominantly operated by local and indigenous stakeholders. Muskw’s involvement
exemplifies the success of local and indigenous ownership and reinforces Arbor’s commitment to
community engagement and economic development in the regions where it operates. Arbor extends its
sincere gratitude to Muskw for their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to the project.
“We are excited to kick off Phase 2 of our drilling program at the Jarnet Lithium Project,” said Mark
Ferguson, President and CEO of Arbor. “The success of our Phase 1 drilling program has given us a solid
foundation to build upon as we continue to explore the lithium potential at Jarnet. We are confident that
this Phase 2 program will provide critical information to help define the next steps for the project, and we
are eager to expand our efforts into the high-priority target areas on the Firebird, Corvette, and St. Pierre
claims.”
Arbor is committed to conducting all of its exploration activities with a strong focus on environmental
stewardship. The Company adheres to industry-leading environmental guidelines and strives to minimize
its environmental footprint. Furthermore, Arbor continues to work collaboratively with local tribes and
other stakeholders to ensure its activities are aligned with the needs and concerns of the communities in
which it operates.

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.
