Madoro Enters into Option Agreement to Acquire 100% of the First Green Lithium
Project in Quebec
FOR RELEASE: FEBRUARY 1, 2023
VANCOUVER, British Columbia,– Madoro Metals Corp. (“Madoro” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
that it has entered into an option agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire a 100% interest in the 213 claim, 12,325
hectare First Green Lithium Project (the “Property”) located in the rapidly emerging Cadillac-Pontiac lithium
camp in the Abitibi Témiscamingue region, approximately 75 kilometres southwest of Val-d’Or, Québec (Figure
1).
Dusan Berka, President and CEO of Madoro states, “Adding the First Green Lithium Project to Madoro’s project
portfolio is a low-risk and potentially high-reward opportunity for our shareholders. There is unprecedented
interest in domestic sources of lithium due to record high prices and very strong demand from the electric vehicle
and battery storage markets. Quebec is showing strong support for exploration, production and processing of
critical strategic minerals and is emerging as key supplier of lithium to North American markets. The First Green
Property acquisition marks a significant move by our Company into a high-demand commodity in a stable
jurisdiction.”

Companies already exploring for lithium-cesium-tantalum (“LCT”) pegmatites in the Cadillac-Pontiac camp
include Sayona Mining, Vision Lithium, Brunswick Exploration, Winsome Resources and High Tide Resources.
First Green lies west and north of the Tansim project held by Sayona Mining.
Numerous pegmatite outcrops have been identified by historical government mapping but there is no record of
previous mineral exploration on the Property or of any LCT analysis. A network of logging roads and the
proximity to the mining centres of Malartic and Val-d’Or will allow for low-cost exploration work. Madoro
intends to complete a high-definition airborne magnetic and radiometric survey in conjunction with an interpretive
study utilizing high-definition LiDAR data to identify prospective LCT pegmatite targets.
Agreement Details
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the Property by making aggregate cash
payments of $165,000 and issuing an aggregate of 5,400,000 common shares of the Company over a period of
three years. In addition, the Company must incur an aggregate of $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures on or
before the third anniversary date of the Agreement. The arm’s length vendors will retain a 2.0% net smelter
royalty, 0.5% of which may be purchased by the Company for $1,000,000. Further, the Company has agreed to
make milestone payments of $500,000 and $1,000,000 upon the filing of a feasibility study and upon the start of
commercial production, respectively. The milestone payments may be paid in cash or through the issuance of
shares, at the Company’s discretion, and shall be deemed to be an advance to the vendors to be deducted against
future royalty payments. A finder’s fee of $17,500 is payable to an arm’s length party in connection with the
Agreement. The Agreement remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
