Musk Metals Announces IT Has Completed Soil Drilling ON Its 100% Owned “Elon” Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada
MUSK METALS ANNOUNCES IT HAS COMPLETED SOIL DRILLING ON ITS 100% OWNED
“ELON” LITHIUM PROJECT IN QUEBEC, CANADA
May 1, 2024, VANCOUVER, BC – Musk Metals Corp. (“Musk Metals” or the “Company”) (CSE: MUSK)
(OTC: EMSKF) (FSE: 1I30) is pleased to announce it has completed its fifth exploration program for Phase 1, on
its 100% owned ‘’Elon’’ lithium project in Quebec. The survey used a motorized auger drill to sample the till and
sediments close to the contact with the bedrock. The purpose of the survey was to better define the dispersion of the
plume in the till column in three dimensions (3D). The program targeted soils that are located down -ice from
identified magnetic and soil anomalies (see news release dated March 4th, 2022) that were not explained during the
last rock drill phase (see news release dated December 28 th, 2022 ). Future surveys may consist of additional
geophysics which may lead to a second drill phase on the southern part of the Property.
The Program
The program targeted identified magnetic and soil anomalies that are yet explained by drilling (Figure 1). The soil
was drilled using a Big Beaver Auger Drilling Rig equipped with a split spoon sampler. A total of six (6) holes were
drilled. Difficult land access to the west and muddy terrain caused by the weather prevented the access to some of
the targets.

Overburden thickness in the area is approximately up to 25m thick, based on overburden measurements from the
2022 diamond drilling and 2023 motorized auger campaign. The sampling stations are approximately 25m apart and
perpendicular to the glacial flow.
A total of 11 samples were collected from 6 holes that reached about 16m deep. The collected material consists mostly
of sandy material or silty material. The assaying protocol will consist in heavy mineral concentrate from the coarse
fraction and if enough material is present, a base metal analysis will be conducted on the fine fraction too. The heavy
mineral concentrate assaying is expected to be completed in the following week and results will be reported along
with next steps for exploration on the Elon Property.
The Property and Adjacent Properties
The Elon Property is strategically located in Abitibi, Q C, approximately 600 meters northeast of North American
Lithium Project (acquired by Sayona Québec in the past few years) and formerly known as Mine Québec Lithium.
North American Lithium produced over 907,000 tons of material at 1.40% Li2O between 1955 and 1965 (Boily et
al, 1989). In a June 28th, 2022 news release, Sayona Québec (“Sayona”) formally approved the restart of North
American Lithium (NAL) operation for lithium extraction and spodumene concentrate production. In September
2022 Sayona announced a 200 million dollar contract for the mining operations (September 27th, 2022 press release).
In March 2023, Sayona reported having produced 1 ,200 tons of lithium co ncentrate from North American Lithium
(March 15th, 2023 news release). In April 2023, Sayona published a definitive feasibility study that confirms the NAL
value with $2.2B NPV (April 13, 2023 news release) and a measured and indicated resource of 25 million tons @
1.23% Li2O.
Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc. (formerly Jourdan Resources) is investigating a pegmatite field approximately
1,000m SE of the Elon Property. A 14,500m diamond drill holes campaign was announced on their Vallée Property
(September 14th, 2023 news release). Highlights from the drilling campaign include a high grade intersection in hole
VAL-23-051 that averaged 1.04% Li2O over 7.15 m; an interval in VAL -23-051 of 17.60 m that averaged 0.55%
Li2O; and an intersection of 16.02 m from VAL -23-057 that averaged 0.50% Li2O. Two high-grade intersections
were also discovered in VAL-23-042 with an interval of 0.60% Li2O over 17.00 and a second interval of 0,68% Li2O
over 23.30 m (February 15th, 2024 news release).
