CLARITY METALS PROVIDES UPDATE ON FECTEAU GOLD PROJECT
Vancouver, B.C. – October 8, 2024, Clarity Metals Corp. (“ Clarity” or the “ Company”) (CSE: CMET, OTC:
CLGCF, FSE: 27G0) is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Fecteau Gold Project located in the
Province of Qu ébec (the “Fecteau Property” or “Property”). Enthusiasm remains high to continue to
explore in the Abitibi region located in western Québec, Canada.
The Fecteau Property is in the Urban -Barry belt, in the east -central portion of the Abitibi sub-province
adjacent to Osisko Mining Inc.’s (“Osisko”) Windfall Gold Project which contains 3.2 million ounces of gold
probable reserves (12,183 Mt @ 8.04 g/t Au), 4.0 million ounces of gold measured and indicated resources
(11,061 Mt @ 11.4 g/t Au) and 3.3 million ounces of gold inferred resources (12,287 Mt @ 8.4 g/t Au) 1.
Osisko recently announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement in which Gold Fields Limited has
agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Osisko in an all- cash transaction
valued at approximately $2.16 billion on a fully diluted basis which is approximately a 55% premium to
Osisko’s 20 day volume weighted average share price leading up to the announcement of the transaction.2
The Abitibi sub-province is the largest greenstone belt, with the one of the largest gold endowments, in
the world. It stretches across Ontario and Québec, spanning 700 km southeast to northwest and 350 km
north to south. It has produced more than 200 million ounces with continuous operations in the belt since
1901.345 Combining production to date and known reserves are greater than 300 million ounces. 6 There
has been continuous mining in the Abitibi for approaching 125 years. With over 80 base metals mines and
over 50 gold deposits, there are still new discoveries occurring as exploration continues, with development
on deposits to the west of the Fecteau Property such as Bonterra Resources Inc.’s (“Bonterra Resources”)
Gladiator Project and Osisko’s Windfall Lake Project. Osisko’s Windfall Lake Project (12.1MT @ 8.06 g/t

To date, the Property has eleven mineral showings identified, including:
o Lac Fecteau Est: 2.42g/t Au over 2.65m, 1.82 g/t Au over 4.9m in drill core
o Buteux-Marceau: Anomalous grab samples, including 4.11 g/t Au and intersected 1.67 g/t
over 0.35m from 59.95m
o Lac Pistolet: Anomalous grab samples, including 1.08 g/t Au and 1.91% Cu
o Desgagné: Anomalous samples, including 1.00 g/t Au trench sample over massive
sulphide
o Lac Fecteau Nord: 1.71 g/t Au over 1.5m in drill core

o Lac Fecteau Porphyre: Anomalous grab samples, including 7.09 g/t
The Company believes that Fecteau Property has shown potential from historic work on the Property and
Clarity’s last drill campaign intersected some solid results, including high-grade mineralization in FEC-22-
05, which intersected 14.91 g/t Au from 149.4 to 150.4 and 5.98 g/t Au in FEC -22-13 over 0.6m from
168.8m in the Fecteau E ast showing 9. With only $1.4M spent to date on exploration at the Fecteau
Property, Clarity believes it has only started to test the potential of this system and build a geologic model
for the belt. Work to date has identified 11 showings, all of which the Company believes merit further
evaluation and that they have potential to expand.
Clarity’s intended next steps are to execute 3,500m of high priority drill targets identified for its next
program at the Fecteau Property. This aims to test a number of targets favorable for both Au and base
metal mineralization. In particular, the proposed program intends to take substantial steps out on
mineralized trends and test at least 2 known trends and look to investigate 2 new areas not previously drill
tested.
The Fecteau Property has been shown to have stratigraphy also favourable for VMS-style mineralization
with several semi-massive and massive sulphide intercepts in drilling. To date predominantly comprised
of pyrite and pyrrhotite, but with several kilometers of untested strong conductors at the contact between
volcanic units represent one of the high priority target areas for the next exploration program. One trend
between the intermediate and mafic volcanic rocks is a strong conductors identified through modeling of
VTEM EM data modeled with the magnetic data and regional geology is on the northern portion of
property. Previous drilling from 1988 may have been collared too far north, drilling over the contact and
conductive rocks.
Additional Exploration Targets:
I n c l u s i o n o f t h e 2 0 2 2 fi e l d w o r k i n t o t h e Property’s dataset has been valuable in adding to the
understanding of the Fecteau Property on the whole . Clarity’s previous drilling in 2022 included gold
intercepts in holes FEC-22-05 and FEC-22-13 at the Fecteau East showing. The most prominent structure
was encountered in FEC-22-14, which intersected 0.80m of 1.08 g/t Au at the Porphyre showing. Drill holes
into the VMS targets successfully intercepted exhalative material containing disseminated to locally
massive sulphides and returned anomalous Cu and Zn values in holes FEC-22-04 and FEC-22-09.
The airborne triaxial magnetic data has also been a key piece for lineament identification and structural
interpretation outside of the previous drilling to identify the current drill targets, particularly around the
main regional faults and syncline. Further processing and interpretation of the previous work has identified
a number of still untested drill targets. Considering this, the Company has laid out its next drill program
and is looking forward to the opportunity to test the mineral potential. The s uccess of these drill holes
should allow f or the f urther refinement of the model for the Property, particularly testing the VMS
potential in the north of the project and further delineation of the structural story around the Fecteau
fault that cuts the nose of the Fecteau syncline, which transects the Property , as well as the concession
fault which also perpendicularly cuts the syncline.

On the Property, 17,815m have been drilled in and around the surrounding area since the mid-1970s with
an average depth of only 207m.
