The Spring 2024 Drill Campaign will test the mineralized zone where the Property vendors drilled and
made a discovery in the fall of 2023 (the "Discovery Zone"). The primary objective will be to test for
mineralized pegmatite along strike and to define the size and orientation of the Discovery Zone.
The detailed mapping and sampling campaign will provide guidance on the extent of the lithium
mineralization at the Discovery Zone and identify other potential target areas on the sizeable primary
exploration trend measuring 21 kilometres ("km") long.
About the Cisco Property
The Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less
than 10 km east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small
town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater
Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Itschee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.
The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package
dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same
belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.
On February 28, 2024, the Company announced it had signed an option agreement which gives the
Company the exclusive right and option for the acquisition of a 100% interest in three groups of minerals
claims, collectively known as the Cisco Property (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is expected to
close in short order.

pegmatites.
The Company's exploration advancement at its 8,668-hectare flagship Mia lithium property is focused on
the more than 10-kilometre-long Mia trend which is host to both the Mia 1 and Mia 2 lithium occurrences
and 11 other mineralized zones along trend.
