Spod Lithium Extends to 1.6 Km Block C Pegmatite ON Property Adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals Corvette Project
SPOD LITHIUM EXTENDS TO 1.6 KM BLOCK C PEGMATITE ON PROPERTY
ADJACENT TO PATRIOT BATTERY METALS CORVETTE PROJECT
• Block “C” pegmatite has now been traced for at least 1.6 km of strike length, which is located about 5
km to the south of the world class Corvette lithium deposit
• 443 soil samples were collected and sent to the lab for analysis on the MegaLi Block “C”, Lithium Grande
4 Block “A”, Block “D” and Block “E”
Vancouver, B.C. – July 24, 2024 – SPOD LITHIUM CORP. (CSE: SPOD; OTCQB: SPODF), (the “Company”
or “SPOD”) is pleased to announce the completion of a second phase field program on its MegaLi and Lithium
Grande 4 properties composed of six claim blocks adjacent to the Patriot Battery Metals Inc.’s (“Patriot”)
Corvette project located in the James Bay area, Quebec, Canada. Along with its Quebec projects, SPOD is also
exploring its promising projects in the province of Ontario.
Mathieu Couillard, SPOD’s CEO commented, “ We are delighted with the outcome of our 2024 progr am. We
have proven the presence of multiple pegmatites on our property package as well as the continuity of our 2023
lithium results. We also now know that the geology of blocks “A”, “B” and “D” is similar to the Corvette trend
where pegmatites are hosted in amphibolite. Additionally, the northern contact of Block “C”, where we have
identified a large pegmatite hosting lithium anomaly , is an area of particular interest given its proximity with
Patriot’s CV5 deposit. Future exploration including mechanical stripping and drilling will be planned once results
from soils samples and channel samples have been received.”
Summer program over the pegmatites
A total of 452 soil samples have been collected by the ExploLogik team, which provides exploration services to
the Company, aimed at three objectives: identification of spodumene bearing phase inside the known MegaLi
project Block “C” pegmatite, testing the ground about 3km along strike from the initial target, and evaluating the
lithium potential of Block “A”, Block “D”, Block “E” on the Lithium Grande 4 project.
On Block “C” (MegaLi project), 316 soil samples were collected over the pegmatite trend, covering a surface of
about 1.7 km by 4.8 km.
For reference, Patriot’s CV5 spodumene deposit is located about 5 km north of the Block “C” pegmatite, following
a parallel structural trend. Observations done so far on Block “C” have indicated that the crystallization texture
and structural relations can be compared to other spodumene bearing pegmatite events observed in the James
Bay area. CV5 mineral resource estimate (MRE) has firmly established it as the largest lithium pegmatite mineral
resource in the Americas and eighth largest globally , containing a maiden mineral resource estimate of 109.2
million tons at 1.42% Li2O (see Patriot Battery Metals Inc.’s news release dated July 31, 2023).
The remaining 127 soil samples were distributed between Lithium Grande 4 Block “A”, Block “D” and Block “E”
located respectively 7 km north, 12 km east and 15 km east of Patriot’s CV5. Block “A”, returned a series of
rocks showing a strong Rb enrichment and low K/Rb below 30. The objective for the soil sampling program is to
locate spodumene-bearing pegmatite covered by overburden. In the case of Block “D”, the unique claim hosts a
strong density of pegmatites dikes limited by the density of outcrops.

QA/QC
Soil sampling was completed at 100 m spacing at a depth of 20 to 50 cm to reach the “C” horizon of the soil
profile. Samples were described in terms of color and textures. The sampling line includes duplicates, blanks
and standards. Samples were submitted to ALS Chemex in Val-d’Or, Quebec and will be methodically assayed
to detect a proximal or distal spodumene source.
Corporate Update
The Company has entered into a consulting agreement on June 25, 2024 with Jadeite Capital Corp. (the
“Consultant”) to provide certain strategic and administrative services to the Company, effective April 1, 2024.
The Company has also issued 300,000 stock options to the Consultant at a price of $0.05 per stock option for a
period of five (5) years from issuance.
