EMP METALS LITHIUM BRINE FLOW TEST SUCCESSFULLY
COMPLETED
Vancouver, British Columbia, February 2, 2022 – EMP Metals Corp. (CSE: EMPS) (OTC:
EMPPF) (“EMP Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce positive results from the
recently completed flow test of its first test well, 1 1/11-02-009-13W2/0, in the Mansur permit
area located in southeast Saskatchewan.
The flow test has confirmed 4 primary zones of interest for future analysis and development,
which were broken into two testing intervals: (1) Wymark A/B ; and (2) Wymark E/F. As
previously reported, laboratory testing of these zones in the Duperow formation returned lithium
concentrations up to 96.3 mg/l, which exceeded the Company’s target of 74.6 mg/l (see news
release dated September 29, 2021).
The primary target is the Wymark A & B zone, which previously tested up to 86 mg/l. In a multi-
day flow test, estimated flow rates in excess of 260 m3/day were achieved from the vertical
wellbore. The zone is continuous across a large regional area and these flow results, coupled with
future horizontal well development, provide potential for expansion with future drill programs.
The Wymark E & F zone, which previously tested up to 96.3 mg/l, was flowed in combination
with other zones due to lower permeability rock. Usi ng the previously obtained swab rates over
this interval, the Company estimates daily flow rates of 30 m3/day from Wymark E/F in a vertical
wellbore. Because this zone exhibited the highest lithium concentrations on the Company’s
Mansur prospect , horizonta l development will be evaluated and additional testing may be
conducted in offsetting wellbores to assess regionality. For reference, the Wymark F member
corresponds to the high lithium test s in the offsetting 14-12-7-11 location (130 to 190 mg/l) ,
previously completed by a separate producer.
These results suggest the potential for the future development of a dual layer lithium brine project
with high flow rates and brine concentrations in the 86 to 9 6.3 mg/l range. Vertical wellbore
development of the lower Duperow zone with 86 mg/l zone is viable due to the high flow rates
in that zone. Horizontal drilling of the upper Duperow 94 + mg/l zone will be required in order
to improve flow rates and early economics of this second prospective layer.
Rob Gamley, CEO of EMP Metals, commented, “This is a fantastic start for EMP. We are very
pleased with the results from our first test well which has clearly shown potential for future
development and gives us the confirmation to proceed as aggressively as possible with both this
well and additional well tests across our over 200,000 acre land package.”

The lithium brine properties consist of 37 permits totaling 212,633 acres (86,050 hectares) of
Subsurface Crown Mineral Dispositions in the Williston basin of Southern Saskatchewan. Brine
sampling of a vertical wellbore located on one of the properties returned lithium concentrations in
the Duperow formation up to 96.3 mg/l. The properties are held through EMP Metals' 67% owned
subsidiary Hub City Minerals Corp.
