NEWS RELEASE – for immediate release
Erin Ventures and Temas Resources Commission an Updated PEA and
Advance the Licensing Process on the Piskanja Boron Project
Victoria, B.C., October 7, 2021 (CNW Newswire)
Erin Ventures Inc. (“Erin”) [TSXV: EV] is pleased to report that it and its strategic partner, Temas
Resources Corp. (“ Temas”) [CSE: TMAS], have jointly commissioned an updated Preliminary
Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Piskanja Boron Project. It is anticipated that the updated PEA
should be complete over the next 90 days.
In conjunction with the production of an updated PEA, Erin’s subsidiary Balkan Gold, which holds
Erin’s rights to Piskanja , is continuing with the activities and studies required to complete a
Geological Elaborate for submission to the Serbian Mining Ministry. The approval of the Elaborate
results in the issuance of a “Certificate of Reserves” by the Mining Ministry, a s the first of two
steps in the approval process for receiving a Mineral Exploitation License. A Serbian compliant
Geological Elaborate is of similar scope, content, and confidence level as a CIM compliant PEA.
It is anticipated that the Elaborate will be submitted for approval during Q1/22.
The budgeted expenditures for the completion of the PEA and the Elaborate will be funded by
Temas as its initial contribution towards earning an interest in Piskanja. Pursuant to the terms of
an agreement, Erin has provided Temas with the irrevocable right and option to earn up to a 50%
undivided interest in its Piskanja Borate Project. As total consideration for the option, Temas will
incur up to €10,500,000 in work expenditures towards the development of Piskanja.

Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. Investors

ever be upgraded to a higher category or to reserves. U.S. persons are advised that while mineral resources are
recognized under Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them.

or legally mineable.
