Texas Springs Property, Nevada USA

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Texas Spring Property which consists of mineral lode

claims located in Elko County, Nevada. The Property is in the Granite Range southeast of Jackpot,

Nevada, about 73 km north-northeast of Wells, Nevada. The target is a lithium clay deposit in volcanic

tuff and tuffaceous sediments of the Humbolt Formation. A Phase 1 exploration program at the Texas

Springs Property (Fall 2023) yielded results with average lithium grades of 2010 ppm, applying a

1,000 ppm cut-off, and up to 5,610 ppm Lithium.

The Texas Spring property adjoins the southern border of the Nevada North Lithium Project - owned

by Surge Battery Metals Inc. (“Surge”) (TSXV: NILI, OTC: NILIF) and comprised of 725 mineral

claims. Surge's first round of drilling identified strongly mineralized lithium bearing clays. The

average lithium content within all near surface clay zones intersected in the 2022 drilling program,

applying a 1000 ppm cut-off, was 3254 ppm. (Press release March 29, 2023). More recent results have

shown higher grade lithium up to 8070 ppm on this property after initial drilling (Press release

September 12, 2023). Our exploration results are on-trend with these results.

Clayton Valley Lithium Project, Nevada USA

The Company owns a 100% interest in 113 lithium lode and placer claims covering over 640 hectares

in Clayton Valley. Clayton Valley is a down-dropped closed basin formed by the Miocene age Great

Basin extension and is still active due to movement along the Walker Lane structural zone. As a result,

the basin has preserved multiple layers of lithium bearing volcanic ash, resulting from multiple

eruptive events over the past 6 million years including eruptions from the 700,000-year-old Long

Valley Caldera system and related events. These ash layers are thought to contribute to the lithium

brines extracted by Albemarle and are also likely involved in the formation of the exposed lithium rich

clay deposits on the east side of Clayton Valley.

Volt Canyon Lithium Property, Nevada USA

The Company owns a 100% interest in 80 placer claims covering approximately 635 hectares of

alluvial sediments and clays located 122 km northeast of Tonopah, Nevada.
