Exploration Programs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GoldON Completes Latest Field Exploration Program at its

McInnes Lake Lithium-Pegmatite Prospect

Property covers the McInnes Lake greenstone belt in a similar geological setting to

Frontier Lithium’s Pak Lithium Project located 50 km to the northeast

VICTORIA, BC – July 5, 2023 – GoldON Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GLD) (“GoldON” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of its latest fieldwork program on its 100%-

owned McInnes Lake property (the “Property”). The undere xplored 12,598-hectare Property

covers the majority of the McInnes Lake greenstone belt in northwestern Ontario.

The exploration program focused on mapping and sa mpling of areas around previously identified

fertile peraluminous granite plutons and derived exocontact pegmatites in two areas of the McInnes

Lake greenstone belt, McInnes North Pluton and the Lower Bay Pluton. For additional details see

GoldON’s news release of April 24, 2023.

The goals of the fieldwork were to identify various phases of fertile granite plutons, verify rare

metal mineralogy in the plutons and adjacent pe gmatite dykes, and de lineate potential lithium

dispersion halos adjacent to fertile granite plutons.

Detailed fieldwork and sampling covered a total of 50 square kilometres (km) and amassed 231

grab and channel saw bulk rock samples and 20 blocky K-feldspar separates to assess the degree

of fractionation in the peraluminous pegmatitic granites.

All samples have been submitted to analytical labs for rare metal chemistry. Reference hand

specimens from various localities are currently under petrographic investigation to verify rare metal

mineralogy. In addition, four mineral identifica tion separates were submitted to a commercial

geoscience lab for X-Ray diffraction verification.

Li content of 1,126 ppm was sampled in the previous field program.

Highlights of the field program include:

 Spodumene tentatively identified as green-black-altered, euhedral inclusions, up to 5 by 7

millimetres, hosted in blocky K-feldspar in the westernmost exocontact pegmatite

approximately 200 metres (m) ea st of the McInnes North Pluton. This is similar to the

altered spodumene observed in the Dryden and Georgia Lake pegmatite fields by GoldON’s

Technical Advisor, Frederick W. Breaks, PhD, PGeo.

 Peraluminous granites consist of potassic pegmatite, fine -grained leucogranite and

pegmatitic leucogranite2 units and contain the following accessory minerals: deep orange,

possible spessartine garnet, tourmaline, muscov ite, biotite, possible white beryl, and fine-

grained Ta-Nb oxides.

 Blocky K-feldspar samples, to assess the degree of rare metal potential, exhibit a variable

degree of albitization that typically occurs late in pegmatite evolution via auto-

metasomatism. Veins and small masses rich in albite contain accessory muscovite, yellow-

green sericite, biotite, red garnet, specks of black, non-magnetic, possible Ta-Nb oxide

minerals and possible white beryl.

 Detailed bulk rock sampling of a monolithic, fragmental intermediate metavolcanic rock

(tuff breccia) with a highly anomalous lithium content of 1,126 ppm1. Five channel samples

of the clasts and matrix selected over the angular boulder (1.5 by 3 m) to determine

mineralogical host(s) of the lithium. The matrix consists of abundant, radiating aggregates

of a light brown amphibole currently sent fo r XRD identification, suspected to be of the

gedrite-anthophyllite series, and an unknown brown mineral. Identical boulders were

previously identified 1.7 km to the northeast that documented 304 ppm lithium1.

 Potential bedrock source of a fragmental in termediate metavolcanic rock (tuff breccia)

boulders with anomalous lithium values on McInnes Lake, was discovered in the

exocontact pegmatitic granite swarm, 600 m southeast of the McInnes North Pluton.

 The glacial ice direction in area is 70 degrees so it is plausible that these lithium anomalous

boulders on McInnes Lake originated from this area.

 Lower Bay Pluton has previously unmapped, exocontact peraluminous pegmatitic granite

dykes, situated 700 m northwest.

“Our field crew did an excellent job identifyin g the potential source of the lithium anomalous

boulders within the southeast exocontact pegmatite aureole linked with the McInnes North Pluton.

Important indicator minerals (beryl, altered spodumene) were tentatively recognized in the parent

granite-exocontact pegmatite system that infers the presence of rare metal mineralization. The

sample and mineral identification results will be reported as soon as they are received,” said

GoldON’s Technical Advisor, Frederick Breaks, PhD, PGeo.

Advanced Materials) and the Pakeagama Lake pegm atite in the North Spirit Lake area (Frontier

Lithium). He authored or co-authored 118 technical publications during his career with the Ontario

Geological Survey and numerous external publications, of wh ich several are available for

GoldON is an exploration compan y focused on discovery-stage prop erties located in the prolific

greenstone belts of nort hwestern Ontario, Canada. Our goal with a property is to add value by

defining (or redefining) the exploration opportunity, maintain ownership control during the value

creation phase of discovery, and then source a well-financed pa rtner capable of accelerating

discovery, resource definition, and development.
