Arbor Metals Identifies Lithium Anomalies from Phase 1 Drilling at Jarnet Lithium Project
NEWS RELEASE
ARBOR METALS IDENTIFIES LITHIUM ANOMALIES FROM PHASE 1 DRILLING AT JARNET LITHIUM PROJECT
Vancouver, Canada – June 2, 2025 – Arbor Metals Corp. (“Arbor” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ABR, FWB:
432) is pleased to announce inaugural assay results on its wholly owned Jarnet Lithium Project located
adjacent to Patriot Baftery Metals’ Shaakichiuwaanaan Property (formerly known as the Corvefte Project),
located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.
The Phase 1 program, which consisted of 10 holes (1,913 metres), was designed to test large-scale
pegmafite dykes swarms idenfified in the 2023 and 2024 field programs, which included ground
geophysics, surface sampling and systemafic soil sampling. Lithium anomalies in the range of 100 to 310
ppm were observed in 179 core samples and over 657ppm in 27% of the samples. Pegmafite dykes were
mapped over widths ranging from 1m to 15m and were of varied and disfinct composifions, which is
suggesfive of mulfiple phase events. Furthermore, the wide and consistent disseminafion of the lithium
values, which consistently increased at depth, may be indicafive of an enrichment envelope.
Drilling focused on swarms of granific pegmafite dykes hosted in varied lithologies: amphibolite,
monzonite, granodiorite and sediments. Hole JAR-24-001 was drilled following an east-west direcfion to
crosscut at right angle a quartz vein system hosfing molybdenite. Holes JAR-24-006 and JAR-24-007 were
drilled following a north-south direcfion, ~ 1km east of JAR-24-001 and 300m to 500 metres south from
surface sampling. JAR-24-005 was drilled close to eastern the end of an outcrop following a north-west
direcfion about 500 metres from holes JAR-24-006 and 007. Overall, the different targets covered an area
of about 1.5km of strike length.
Results of the inaugural drill program support the Company’s hypothesis that the Jarnet 2 claims block
hosts a kilometric wide corridor of pegmafite dyke swarms. While lithium values and observafions have
not as yet proven the presence of high- grade spodumene bearing pegmafites, the broadly distributed
lithium anom alies may indicate the presence of a ferfile local environment for hosfing a spodumene
bearing dyke swarm.

Phase 1 drilling was performed by Forage et Construcfion 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 Metals
extends its sincere grafitude to Muskw for their experfise, professionalism, and dedicafion to the project.
Mark Ferguson, President and CEO of Arbor commenfing “The posifive markers from our Phase 1 drilling
program have given us a solid foundafion to build upon as we confinue to explore the lithium potenfial at
Jarnet. We are confident our upcoming program will provide addifional crifical informafion to help define
the next steps for the project. We are eager to expand our efforts to include the high-priority target areas
on the Firebird, Corvefte, and St. Pierre claims.”
Arbor is commifted to conducfing all of its explorafion acfivifies with a strong focus on environmental
stewardship. The Company adheres to industry-leading environmental guidelines and strives to minimize
its environmental footprint. Furthermore, Arbor confinues to work collaborafively with local communifies
and other stakeholders to ensure its acfivifies are aligned with the needs and concerns of the communifies
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.
