Arbor Metals Commences Phase 2 Drilling at Jarnet Lithium Project

Exploration Programs

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.
