CBLT Early Field Program for Shatford Lake (Lithium)
CBLT Early Field Program for Shatford Lake
(Lithium)
Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 4, 2022) - On November 29, 2021, CBLT Inc. (TSXV: CBLT)
("CBLT") reported the results from its first sampling program at Shatford Lake, Manitoba in the Bird
River Pegmatite Field. Based in part on guidance from historical field notes and drill logs, CBLT's field
team located and sampled several pegmatite outcrops during the 2021 field season. A total of 14
samples were collected.
Several samples were elevated in rubidium (see table below) and some samples were also anomalous
for cesium and tantalum. This geochemistry indicates the pegmatites in the area are LCT type (lithium-
caesium-tantallum) and are highly prospective for further lithium exploration.

One sample, 14210, was inadvertently taken immediately adjacent to CBLT's Shatford Lake property.
This sample returned 0.534% Li

O. Though this sample was taken off CBLT's property
it gives an indication of the presence of lithium-bearing LCT pegmatites in the area. The structure
hosting this sample has been inferred to cross back onto CBLT's property, and will be followed and
sampled in future exploration programs.
All the above samples were from pegmatites on the western side of Shatford Lake near where a
structure has been mapped by CBLT.
The field program for 2022 has already begun with a more detailed review of historical Branch Files at
Manitoba Mines. These files describe numerous pegmatites but only in the context of searching for
cassiterite (a tin oxide mineral that globally is a major source of tin). It does not appear that anyone
historically actively explored for lithium in the pegmatites. This CBLT will do.
Cassiterite was first discovered at Tin Island located 600 meters east of the claim boundary. Cassiterite
veins were trenched in the 1920's just off the east side of the SOFTROCK 1 Claim.
A geological map drafted by Gass (1957) outlines a 460 meter strike length, 3 to 36 meter wide "rare
element" pegmatite located on the south shore of Shatford Lake in SOFTROCK 1 Claim.
Of particular interest is
Manitoba Mines Branch
Economic Geology Report ER84-1
Industrial Minerals
in Rare-element Pegmatites of Manitoba,
B.B. Bannatyne, 1985. The following text was found in
ER84-
1
: "A 33.6 m shaft was sunk on the nearby shore of the island to the east and a crosscut to the pegmatite
was made; It was followed by 18 m of drifts, but only an insignificant amount of Cassiterite was found."
The report details numerous trenched areas with LCT pegmatite potential.
The area also contains at least two more than 20-meter long trenches excavated in the pegmatite within
SOFTROCK 1.
Based on CBLT's own work and the historical records, it is obvious that CBLT's Early Summer 2022
Field Plan will be:
to prospect, sample and map the southeast shore of Shatford Lake just west of the trenched
pegmatites described in
Report ER84-1
;
to prospect, sample and map the area around the historical shaft; and
to prospect, sample and map the trenches in SOFTROCK 1.
For the first time, these areas will be prospected for Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite
occurrences. The in-field portion of the program will begin as soon as possible, after snowmelt.

commodities pricing; environmental issues; forest fires and other natural phenomena; rising costs
related to inflation; effect of market interest on price of securities; failing to identify an economically
viable mineral deposit; and, potential dilution.
CBLT's operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global
outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of illness caused by COVID-19. It is not
possible to accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on operations and the ability of others to
meet their obligations, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the
severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions
imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious
diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect
the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could
further affect operations and the ability to finance its operations.
