News Release

NORTH ARROW DISCOVERS SPODUMENE PEGMATITES AT NEW

MACKAY LITHIUM PROPERTY, NWT

July 17, 2023 Trading Symbol: TSXV: NAR #23-13

North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV-NAR) (“North Arrow”) is pleased to report it has staked prospective spodumene

bearing pegmatites discovered in the MacKay Lake area of the Northwest Territories, immediately adjacent to the winter road

connecting Yellowknife with the Lac de Gras diamond mines. The Mackay pegmatites were identified and staked by North

Arrow in an area where , in the 1940’s, the Geological Survey of Canada noted tantalite mineralization within tourmaline-

muscovite pegmatites. Photos of the pegmatite exposures and spodumene mineralized samples can be found here. Initial

prospecting samples from the pegmatites have been submitted for analysis and results will be reported when received.

Ken Armstrong, President and CEO of North Arrow, stated, “The discovery of spodumene pegmatites at MacKay Lake further

advances North Arrow’s lithium exploration strategy, taking advantage of our northern exploration experience to identify and

acquire hard rock lithium properties in the NWT and Nunavut . These new pegmatites are located just southeast of North

Arrow’s LDG property, where North Arrow is currently evaluating similar spodumene pegmatites identified and mapped in

the 1940’s and 1950’s. Additional mapping and sampling of the MacKay spodumene pegmatites, intended to get an indication

of their size potential, is planned as part of the ongoing LDG program.”

The LDG project has an

exploration camp and drilling

permit in place , with t he camp

well positioned to support further

evaluation of the MacKay

spodumene pegmatites, as is the

annual Lac de Gras winter road

which runs along Mackay Lake

immediately adjacent to the

newly staked mineral claims.
