Equitorial Announces Field Program At Its 100%-Owned Cat Tail Lithium Project
Equitorial Announces Field Program At Its 100%-Owned Cat Tail Lithium Project
Vancouver, BC, Canada – Sept 27th, 2018 – Equitorial Exploration Corp. (TSX -V: EXX, Frankfurt: EE1,
OTCQB: EQTXF) (“Equitorial” or “Company”) announces that it will carry out a fall field program in the
next weeks to map and sample the area surrounding the recently discovered Cat Tail Pegmatite at its
100%-owned Cat Tail Lithium Property directly adjacent to Quantum Minerals' Cat Lake Mineral Project.
Highlights of Results to Date
1,256 meters completed in the Phase One diamond drill hole program
Seven drill holes drilled
o Six drill holes testing the lithium and pegmatite potential of the property
o Seventh drill hole testing a sulphide rich skarn
A significant spodumene (lithium mineral) bearing pegmatite (Cat T ail Pegmatite) was
encountered in four of the drill holes. Prior to being drilled, this pegmatite was buried with no
surface expression.
2018 Fall Field Program
The 2018 fall field program will consist of mapping outcrops on the claims, rock and biogeochemical
sampling. This work will focus on obtaining a better geological understanding of the property and prospect
for any additional pegmatites. A biogeochemical orientation survey of spruce bark samplin g will be
conducted over the Cat Tail Pegmatite to see if the pegmatite can be detected using biogeochemistry.
The company plans to carry out a Phase Two drill hole program on the Cat Tail Pegmatite to further explore
the lithium and tantalum potential at depth and along strike. A drill work permit has been applied for with
the Province of Manitoba and the company is awaiting approval. The company plans to initiate a PEA
(Preliminary Economic Assessment) Study after the completion of the Phase Two drilling to evaluate the
economic viability of the Cat Tail Pegmatite.

Cat Lake Lithium Property Highlights
Property situated directly east and along strike of Quantum Minerals' Cat Lake Mineral Project
(previously Irgon Lithium Mine) . During 1956 -1957, t he Irgon Mine was an underground
mining operation for spodumene (one of the hard rock sources for Li). The pegmatite had an
historic estimate of 1.25 million tons of ore grading 1.51% Li20 (Mineral Inventory File No. 221).
The Equitorial Exploration claim block is located 150 m from south end of Irgon Lithium Mine shaft
and approximately 93 meter east of the last exposed outcrop of the Irgon Pegmatite
48 feet (14.63 m) of spodumene bearing pegmatite were reported drilled in 1948 on the
company’s present claims but not followed up at the time (Manitoba Assessment File 98073 - not
43-101 compliant)
Property approximately 180 km northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba
Excellent infrastructure - Provincial Highway 314 in southeast Manitoba cuts through the property

Lake-Claims-Maps-3.pdf
Geologically, the property lies within the east -trending Mayville-Cat-Euclid Greenstone Belt (“MCEGB”)
located along the northern contact of the Maskwa Lake Batholit h. This northern greenstone belt has a
similar structural geological setting as the Bird River Greenstone Belt (“BRGB”) which is located along the
southern contact of the same batholith, and is parallel to and approximately 18km to the south of the
MCEGB. The property is located 20 kilometers north of the Tanco Mine Property. The BRGB hosts the
world-class Tanco rare metal-bearing pegmatite as well as numerous other lithium -bearing pegmatites.
The Tanco Mine went into production in 1969 and produced tantalum, cesium and spodumene (lithium).
It was previously North America’s largest and sole producer of spodumene (Li), tantalum (Ta) and pollucite
(Cs).
About Equitorial Exploration Corp
Equitorial is aggressively developing four 100%-owned, high-potential, lithium projects in North America.
The Little Nahanni Pegmatite Group (LNPG) is a 43-101 compliant, hard rock, lithium property in the NWT.
The Cat Lake Lithium Property in Manitoba, Canada, is directly adjacent to the Cat Lake Mineral Project, a
highly prospective Lithium property. The Tule and Gerlach Lithium Brine Projects are located in lithium -
rich Utah and Nevada within easy reach of the Tesla Gigafactory #1. All four projects have demonstrated
highly encouraging grades.
