Grid Metals Corp. Receives Drill Permit for Falcon West Cesium Property
Grid Metals Corp. Receives Drill Permit for Falcon West Cesium Property
September 1 1, 2025 TORONTO -- Grid Metals Corp. (TSXV:GRDM; OTCQB:MSMGF) ( "Grid" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has received an exploration drill permit from the Province
of Manitoba for its 100% owned Falcon West Lithium/Cesium Property, located approximately 110 km
east of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Company plans to begin drilling at Falcon West in September.
The target at Falcon West is the Lucy South cesium zone that has seen historical drill intercepts with high-
grade cesium values largely contained in the mineral pollucite, the preferred feedstock for the cesium
chemicals industry. Grid’s upcoming drilling will mark the first concerted effort to define a discrete
cesium zone at the property.
Cesium is listed as a rare critical metal by both the Canadian and Unites States governments. The rare
metal has only been mined from three deposits globally, and there is currently a global shortfall of cesium
feedstock to supply a growing number of applications, including strategic defence applications and next-
generation solar panels.

and spodumene (the lithium host mineral). The hole was drilled by Grid in 2024.

Robin Dunbar, Grid’s CEO & President, stated “Grid believes Falcon West represents a unique
opportunity for the company to advance a high-demand and rare critical metals project in southeastern
Manitoba, in an area with excellent infrastructure. It is rare to find a critical metals project with such an
attractive combination of resource scarcity and demand. Our goal at Falcon West is to define a cesium
deposit of importance to the global cesium industry.”
