Lithoquest Conducts Field Program at Miminiska
Commences Discussions with Eabametoong First Nation
Vancouver, B.C., April 6th, 2022 – Lithoquest Resources Inc. (TSX-V: LDI) (“Lithoquest” or the
“Company”) today announced that it has completed ground geophysical surveys, identified high-priority
targets, and conducted drilling on the Miminiska Prospect located within the traditional territory of the
Eabametoong First Nation (“EFN”) in northwestern Ontario.
“Results continue to support our thesis that the Miminiska Prospect represents an exceptional
opportunity,” stated Bruce Counts, President and CEO of Lithoquest. “The high-priority targets
identified have the potential to extend and expand the high-grade gold mineralization at Miminiska.”
Miminiska Prospect
The Miminiska Prospect is located within the 5,500 ha Miminiska Project and is characterized by an
extensively faulted and folded banded iron formation (“BIF”). Drilling conducted between 1944 and
2005 shows that high-grade gold mineralization occurs within the BIF and is associated with conductive
sulphide minerals such as arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite. Historical drill results* at the Miminiska prospect
include 5.75 g/t Au over 20.8m starting at 51.9m and 13.95 g/t Au over 5.3m starting at 235.8m.
Field Program
The Company commenced field operations on the Miminiska Prospect in late February. More than 135
line-km of ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys were completed before drilling was initiated.
Drilling tested two of the new high-priority targets. Approximately 650m of core was obtained in total
and sulphide mineralization was observed in both drill holes. Samples of the mineralized core will be
submitted for assay with results to be reported in due course. Lithoquest suspended drilling after
completing two holes to facilitate consultation with the EFN on the Company’s three principal projects:
Miminiska, Keezhik and Attwood. Drilling is anticipated to resume in the summer of 2022.
High-Priority Targets
The recently completed ground geophysical surveys have identified several targets within the Miminiska
Prospect that have not yet been tested with drilling and that are similar in response to the known zones
of high-grade gold mineralization.
A 45 line-km horizontal loop electromagnetic survey was completed over the Miminiska BIF. Multi-
frequency data were collected along 50m lines with the transmitter and receiver separated by 100m.
91 line-km of ground magnetic data were also collected. The detailed magnetic data provides greater
resolution on the location of the BIF and the structural setting of the prospect area.

two completed drill holes and areas targeted for drilling.
Eabametoong First Nation
Lithoquest acknowledges that its three key projects, Miminiska, Keezhik and Attwood, are located on
the traditional territory of the EFN. Discussions between the Company and EFN leadership have
commenced with the goal of completing a formal Exploration Agreement.
“Lithoquest has begun engaging with the EFN on the Company’s three principal projects and respects
their community protocols,” commented Bruce Counts. “We are looking forward to formalizing our
relationship by working toward an Exploration Agreement that will bring clarity and transparency for all
parties”.
