NEWS RELEASE

ARBOR METALS COMPLETES PHASE 1 DIAMOND DRILLING AT JARNET LITHIUM PROJECT

Vancouver, Canada – January 7th, 2025 – Arbor Metals Corp. (“Arbor” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ABR,

FWB: 432) is pleased to announce the completion of its Phase 1 diamond drilling program at its wholly

owned Jarnet Lithium Project, located in the Corvette Lake Lithium Camp, Eeyou-Istchee Baie-James

territory in Quebec North region. The Phase 1 drilling campaign has successfully concluded with the

completion of a total of 10 NQ2 holes, for a combined drilling length of 1,913 meters.

The drilling 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, in conjunction with geophysical interpretations

performed earlier in the year. Hole depths ranged from 89 meters to 302 meters, and the drilling yielded

663 core samples which will be 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 thrilled to have completed this important Phase 1 drilling program at the Jarnet Lithium Project,”

said Mark Ferguson, President and CEO of Arbor. “The successful completion of 1,913 meters of drilling

and the discovery of pegmatite intersections is a positive step forward in advancing our lithium

exploration efforts. We look forward to receiving the assay results and continuing to explore the potential

of this promising project.”

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 explorafion company focused on developing high-value, geographically

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

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

proven strategies and a dedicated team will yield excepfional outcomes.

The Jarnet, Corvefte Lake and St. Pierre lithium projects, located in the James Bay region of Quebec,

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

configuous to the Corvefte-FCI property, where diamond drilling has confirmed significant lithium

mineralizafion represenfing one of the highest-profile lithium explorafion 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 similarifies 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 pegmafites

hosted in metasediments.
