CULLINAN METALS STARTS EXPLORATION PROGRAM IN

ONTARIO AND QUEBEC LITHIUM PROPERTIES

Vancouver, B.C. – August 29, 2023 - Cullinan Metals Corp. (CSE: CMT) (OTCQB: CMTNF) (FWB: 7KO) ("Cullinan"

or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its news releases dated August 21 and August 23, 2023,

it has started an initial exploration program on its new Ontario and Quebec properties (the “Properties”). The

Company has recently signed non -binding letters of intent (“ LOIs”) with various arm’s length vendors with

respect to these Properties. Under the LOIs, the Company will acquire a 100% interest in and to a series of highly

prospective lithium mineral properties in Canada subject to the satisfaction of full d ue diligence investigation

including preliminary sampling and exploration work on the Properties to the extent permitted by applicable

mining laws.

The Properties

Ontario Properties

The Ontario properties which include Dory - Aerial Lake, East Haig, West Haig, Flower Fall and Flash Lake

properties, are located in a lithium favorable geological setting of northwestern Ontario in the vicinity of the

Georgia Lake, Mavis Lake, Separation Rapids, GT1’s Root Lake lithium projects in Northwestern Ontario. Lilypad

East and West properties are directly adjacent to significant Ta Cs Rb mineralization.

Quebec Properties

The Quebec Properties are located mainly in two prolific geological regions: a) the James Bay area (James Bay

Pegmatite and James Bay Spodumene properties) where several new lithium discoveries have been made

alongside the historical deposits; and b) in the Val d’Or region (VS and VN properties) located within the Archean

Preissac-Lacorne batholith, a geological region with known lithium deposits, prospects and an existing lithium

mine (North American Lithium or NAL).

Cautionary Statement: The above-mentioned information on the adjacent lithium prospects and deposits in this

news release is taken from the publicly available information. The Company has not been able to independently

verify the information contained. The information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the

properties, which are subject of this news release.

The Program

During the current phase of exploration (“Phase One Exploration”) , two experienced field teams have been

deployed to conduct field prospecting activities across Ontario and Quebec Lithium properties. This process will

involve the systematic examination of the multiple fertile granitic pegmatite dykes . Furthermore, pegmatite

sampling and trenching will be carried out to assess the presence and distribution of lithium-bearing pegmatites

within each of the properties. This crucial step will provide valuable insigh ts into the mineralogy and lithium

content of the identified pegmatite deposits, aiding in the development of an extensive understanding of the

property's lithium exploration potential for further work. Initial scanning of samples will be carried out by using

2

a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which has recently emerged as a tool for geochemical analysis

outside the traditional laboratory setting, is a tool for Li exploration that can measure Li in minerals, rocks, soils,

and brines in-situ in the field.

Marc Morin, CEO, expressed his en thusiasm about the commencement of the exploration, stating , “We are

excited to initiate exploration at our Ontario and Quebec properties. With so many previous discoveries made in

the areas near our Properties, we are optimistic that Phase One Exploration will return an excellent outcome for

our shareholders.”
