JOURDAN COMPLETES STRIPPING, MAPPING AND CHANNEL SAMPLING PROGRAM ON ITS
BAILLARGÉ PROPERTY
December 12, 2022
Toronto (Canada) - JOURDAN RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: JOR; OTCQB: JORF ; FRA: 2JR1) (“Jourdan” or the
“Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of a stripping, mapping and sampling campaign on its
Baillargé property (see Fig.1). The already known pegmatite occurrences located on the property have been
stripped, mapped and sampled along their strike extent, which as a result of such activities is now better
understood. The new stripping program has resulted in a significant strike extension of the known
spodumene-bearing dykes. (see Fig.2).

Figure 2: The stripped, mapped and channel sampled areas on existent and expanded spodumene dykes.
The stripping program was executed by GeoTasks Inc.’s technical team from Sudbury, Ontario , and t heir
technical team was supervised by OGQ compliant senior geologists. Approximately 2,400 m2 were stripped,
mapped, and sampled along the pegmatites.
The Baillargé property is located in the Province of Quebec, in Abitibi, in the township of La Corne on Map
32 C 05 (NTS). It consists of 35 claims and is located 38 kilometres north of the town of Val -d’Or and at
TSXV: JOR | OTCQB: JORFF | FRA: 2JR1 3
about 30 kilometres southwest of the village of Barraute. The property also covers about three-quarters of
Lake Baillargé. The area comprises 1,299 hectares in total.
Figure 3: Up to 50-centimetre long spodumene crystals found in the pegmatite outcrops at the Baillargé
property. Mapping and sampling have been conducted around these veins to determine their maximum
strike extents, which as a result of such activities are now better understood.
Baillargé claims surround the site of the former producing La Corne Molybdenum mine. The La Corne mine
was operated intermittently by Molybdia Corporation Limited from 1951 to 1972 as an underground mine.
Total production during this period was 3,838,844 tons of ore at a head grade of 0.33% MoS2 (6.6 lbs/ ton)
and 0.040% bismuth (0.80 lbs/ton). Source: (GM 28882).
The mineralisation occurs in a swarm of quartz -pegmatite veins hosted by a large sill or stock of biotite
granite. The granite appears to be a northeast-trending body about 1,000 metres long and located within
the Preissac-Lacorne batholith. In the upper levels of the La Corne Mo lybdenum mine, the mineralisation
appears to be approximately 426 metres wide, narrowing to about 350 metres at the 228 metres level.
Source: (GM 28882). A biotite schist of sedimentary origin bounds the sill or stock to the north and south
also hosts sets of veins carrying molybdenum and bismuth. Production results at, and information
applicable to, the La Corne molybdenum mine are not indications of resu lts that could be obtained at, or
information applicable to, the Baillargé property.
The access to the Baillargé property is excellent, being that it is located just 3 kilometres from a paved road.
No major environmental constraints affect the property. The lands are on government and private land and
are covered by forest, lakes and rivers. To date, the Baillargé property does not appear to be subject to
ministerial constraints.

Jourdan’s Executive Chairman, Dr. Andreas Rompel, stated, “Again, we are adv ancing one of our projects
in the l ithium prolific region north of Val -d’Or. Since our flagship project Vall ée is advancing well with
continuous drilling and our previously announced earn- in and joint venture agreement with North
American Lithium Inc., we are putting an effort into Baillargé to prepare it for subsequent diamond drilling
in the following years as a result of the current mapping and sampling exercise.”
All samples from the channel sampling program will be sent to Impact Global Solutions Inc.’s 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 controls (“QA/QC”) employed by IGS, Jourdan developed a rigorous QA/QC
protocol for its operators, including the insertion of analytical standard samples, duplicates and coarse silica
blanks on a systematic basis.

Cautionary statements
The content and grades of any mineral deposits at the Company’s properties are conceptual in nature. There has been insuffici ent
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.
This press release contains “forward- looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.
