Jourdan Announces Drilling Program Has Successfully Intersected New Eastern Extension of Li Pegmatite
Jourdan Announces Drilling Program Has
Successfully Intersected New Eastern
Extension of Li Pegmatite
Toronto (Canada), March 7, 2022: JOURDAN RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: JOR; OTCQB: JORFF) (“Jourdan” or
the “ Company“) is pleased to announce that all of its first four drill holes of its winter 2022 drilling
campaign have intersected the newly identified spodumene-bearing pegmatite swarm on its Vallée
property at a previously underexplored eastern position , which the Company believes has not been
exposed by the North American Lithium mine to the west of Vallée (see Fig. 1).
Figure 1: The Vallée property is immediately east of the North American Lithium mine. This figure depicts
the 2022 planned drill holes. All four northermost drillholes intersected the Li -bearing,
spodumen-rich pegmatite swarm.
Drill hole Description
VAL22-2-6 7 interceptions of 1 to 3m spodumene dyke.
VAL22-2-7 1 interception of 1m spodumene dyke.
VAL22-3-6 6 interceptions of 1 to 2m spodumene dyke.
VAL22-4-6 5 interceptions of 1 to 2m spodumene dyke.
The Company’s 2000m diamond drilling program is intended to follow up on the results of a bulk sample
collected in 2018 and the fence line drilled in 2011 and 2021 along the western side of the Company’s
Vallée property, which borders the North American Lithium mine. This drilling campaign is roughly laid
out on a 100m x 100m grid and aims at completing the northern extension of the drilled fence line
previously started during Q3 2021 . The drill program is anticipated to substantially extend the known
deposit at the Company’s Vall ée property eastwards. 10 holes of approximately 200m depth each are
scheduled to be drilled aiming at the pegmatite swarm identified by the trenching of the bulk sample
collected on the Vallée property in 2018. The assay results from the bulk sample revealed high Li2O grades
(for more information, please see the Company’s press release dated April 29, 2021, which is available
under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com ), which have encouraged the Company to
continue exploration and exploratory drilling along the strike and depth extents of its Vallée property.
Jourdan is significantly enlarging its database by adding more drill holes since the start of the exploration
work in 2011. The 2011 drilling comprised 21 drill holes (4256m), the 2021 campaign consisted of eight
drill holes (1680m) and with the planned 2000m round 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.
Rene Bharti, CEO of Jourdan, stated, “With the net proceeds received from the flow-through financing we
completed before the end of last year, we are excited at the possibilities of our latest drill program .
Jourdan’s goal for this year continues to be to define a preliminary mineral resource estimate, with our
eventual goal being to become Quebec’s next lithium producer.”
Jourdan’s Executive Chairman, Dr. Andreas Rompel, stated, “We now have demonstrated that we have a
new Li-bearing and spodumene -rich pegmatite in several intersections which we did not know before.
This particular pegmatite is not exposed in the open pit of the neighbouring North American Lithium mine.
We believe this will add significantly to the known deposit size.”

has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on the property and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in any target being delineated as a mineral resource.
