NORANDA ROYALTIES COMPLETES COMPILATION OF DATA ON ARCTIC FOX LITHIUM
CORP.’S PONTAX NORTH LITHIUM PROJECT IN THE JAMES BAY REGION OF QUEBEC
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA ( March 29, 2023) – Arctic Fox Lithium Corp. (CSE: AFX / FSE: 7N4)
(the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Noranda Royalties (“Noranda”) has completed a compilation of
geological data on its Pontax North Lithium project in the James Bay region of Quebec. Noranda compiled its
data from previous work done by the Quebec Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources Naturelles ( “MERN”).
The work done by Noranda confirms that there are eighteen (18) outcrops with thirteen (13) of them identified as
pegmatite on the Company’s Pontax North Lithium project.
Mr. Gary Claytens, Strategic Advisor to the Company, commented: “ The data compilation report received from
Noranda reinforces the pr esence of pegmatite outcrops on our Pontax North Lithium project as supported by
information that MERN has made publicly available. The Company can now have its field crew focus on these
pegmatite outcrops identified in Noranda’s report during the upcoming exploration season once weather permits.”
About Pontax North
The 1,803-hectare Pontax North Lithium Project is located 12 km south of Galaxy Resources Ltd. (ASX:GXY)
now Allkem Ltd. (ASX/TSX:ALLKEM) (“Allkem”) James Bay Lithium Project and 12 km north of Stria
Lithium Inc.’s (CSE:SRA) Pontax Lithium Project, located in northern Québec, approximately 130 km east of
James Bay and the Cree Nation’s Eastmain community.
The claims within the northern portion of the property contains a lithium prospective zone in a similar geological
environment to Allkem’s project. Acco rding to MERN this zone is characterized by the abundance of S -type
pegmatitic granite intrusions, a lithology known for its Be, Li, Nb, and Ta potential. Beryl (a beryllium silicate
mineral) is reported in several outcrops within this zone. The Property i s known to contain a 10 km long
pegmatite trend as mapped by MERN. This trend appears to be underexplored, despite its recognized lithium
potential. Swarms of lithium -bearing granitic dykes are present 12 km north of the Property at Allkem’s Cyr
showing and at Stria Lithium’s Pontax showing 12 km to the south.
Allkem is proposing to develop a lithium mine at their James Bay Lithium Project, located adjacent to the Billy
Diamond Highway which provides access to key infrastructure in the region. The 2021 Fe asibility Study (“FS”)
details a 330 ktpa spodumene operation utilizing conventional open pit mining. Allkem’s spodumene expertise
from the success of its Mt. Cattlin operations in Western Australia has been applied to the design and
development of the Jam es Bay Project. The FS suggests that James Bay Project will be the most competitive
operation in the region with the lowest capital and operating costs. Shallow, high -grade mineralization with
favourable infrastructure also supports the low -cost operation. Allkem has published a mineral resource estimate
of 40.3 Mt @1.40% Li2O (FS summary here) and mineralization is still open.
Stria launched its first full drilling program at its Pontax project in 2017, completing seven holes for a total of
911.4 m. All seven holes intersected spodumene - bearing pegmatite dykes grading from 0.65% Li2O to 2.49%
Li2O over a minimum of 1.0 m ( Stria Lithium web site). The best intercept was 21.39m grading 1.16% Li2O in
drill hole 975-17-0142.
