Jourdan Announces 2022 Drilling Program Has Commenced ON Its Flagship Vallee Lithium Project Aiming at Enlarging the Known Deposit
JOURDAN ANNOUNCES 2022 DRILLING PROGRAM HAS COMMENCED ON ITS FLAGSHIP
VALLEE LITHIUM PROJECT AIMING AT ENLARGING THE KNOWN DEPOSIT
February 8, 2022, Toronto, Ontario (GlobeNewswire) – Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSXV:
JOR; OTCQB: JORFF) (“Jourdan” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its winter
drill campaign has commenced, starting with hole number VAL22-2-7, completing the northern
extension of the drilled fence line previously started during Q3 2021. The drill program is
anticipated to extend the known deposit at the Company’s Vallee property eastwards (Fig. 1).
The 2000m diamond drilling program is intended to follow up on the results of the fence line
drilled in 2021 along the western side of the Company’s Vallee property, which borders with
the North American Lithium mine. This new drilling campaign aims at drilling three fence lines
further north and further east across the lithium-bearing pegmatite swarm, which has been
mined in the immediate vicinity to the west.
10 holes of approximately 200m depth each are scheduled to be drilled aiming at the
pegmatites swarm identified by the trenching of the bulk sample collected on the Vallee
property in 2018 and initially intersected by the 2011 fence line drilling campaign along the
western boundary of Vallee. The assay results from the bulk sample revealed high Li 2O grade
(see the Company’s press release dated April 29, 2021, which is available on the Company’s
SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com), which have encouraged the Company to continue
exploration and drill along the strike and depth extent on its Vallee property.
Jourdan is significantly enlarging its database by adding more drill holes since the start of the
exploration work in 2011. The 2011 drilling compri sed 21 drill holes (4256m), the 2021
campaign consisted of eight dr ill holes (1680m) and with the planned 2000m ro und of drilling
in 2022, Jourdan is on track to having more than 7900m (39 drill holes) of core that the
Company intends to use in the future to establish a preliminary mineral resource estimate.

The drill program is being cond ucted by Forage Hébert fr om Amos, Quebec, under the
supervision of Alexandr Beloborodov Géologue Inc. (ABG Exploration) of Laval, Quebec.
Jourdan’s Chief Executive Officer, Rene Bharti, commented, “We are very excited to start the
next phase of our drill program. Once completed, we will have nearly 8,000 meters drilled at
Jourdan’s flagship property. Our goal is to define a preliminary mineral resource estimate in
the near term, and with this new drill program, in addition to historic drilling, we are very
confident that we will succeed in such endeavour. This will bring us one step closer to our goal
of becoming Quebec’s next lithium producer.”
“We are significantly increasing our database of information on this particular deposit”, said Dr.
Andy Rompel, Executive Chairman of Jourdan, “and we are enlarging the geological size of
the deposit and the knowledge of its lithium content by every hole we drill. We believe that very
soon we will be in a position to esta blish a preliminary resource estimate.”
All samples are expected to be sent to Impact Global Solutions Inc. Laboratory in Delson,
Québec (“IGS”) for analysis by sodium peroxide fusion and ICP finish. This laboratory is
recognized by the industry and accredited ISO/MEC 17025 by the Standards Council of
Canada. In addition to the quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) employed by IGS,
Jourdan developed a rigorous QA/QC protocol fo r its operators, including the insertion of
analytical standard samples, duplicates and coarse silica blanks on a systematic basis.
