EMP METALS SPUDS LITHIUM WELL AT MANSUR PROJECT,
SASKATCHEWAN
Vancouver, British Columbia , October 23, 2024 – EMP Metals Corp. (CSE: EMPS) (OTCQB:
EMPPF) (“EMP Metals” or the “Company ”) is pleased to announce it has spud a third targeted
lithium well (“1-29”) in the Mansur project area in Saskatchewan (see Figure 1).
Highlights
• The objective is to further delineate the established lithium pool, and potentially establish
Mansur as an independently viable project.
• Data will be used to augment the updated National Instrument 43-101 Resource Report that
the Company has initiated, with delivery targeted for Q4 2024.
• Drilling will build on previous re-entry of wellbores in the Mansur project area, which tested
lithium concentrations up to 148 mg/l (see press release dated January 26, 2023), and flow
tested up to 528 m3/day (see press releases dated September 29, 2021 and February 2, 2022).
Karl Kottmeier, CEO of EMP Metals, stated, "We are excited to return to our Mansur project area,
one of the highest concentration brines within Canada, to potentially further expand our
resource. With previous lithium concentration testing from 96 mg/l to 148 mg/l, no H2S or
oilfield contaminants in the brines, and a relatively shallow depth in the target formation, this
project is expected to have significant competitive advantages, specifically reduced capital and
operating costs per ton, as compared to other North American lithium brine projects.”
Drilling of the 1-29 well is anticipated to take approximately one week. Following drilling, testing
in the target formation to evaluate brine concentration will commence and is expected to take
an additional three weeks.
