Under the terms of the Agreement the Company must pay and issue the following:

Mr. Harry Chew, President, CEO and director, commented: “Our strategic holdings at our Kana Lake Lithium Project now consist of 91 claims covering approximately 4,832 hectares with multiple pegmatite outcrops. In light of the recent geological compilation work done by Noranda Royalties we decided it was important for us to secure these surrounding claims.”
About Kana Lake
The Kana Lake Lithium project is located north of the Fliszar Lithium showing in the James Bay region of Québec. During a summer/fall 2022 survey program conducted by the Québec Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources Naturelles (“MERN”) their geologists identified this area as a new lithium prospective zone that is characterized by the presence of numerous E-W trending pegmatitic granite dykes. The presence of garnet and muscovite in these rocks indicates a hyperaluminous composition, suitable for the development of lithium mineralization. These pegmatites are consistent with the Fliszar Lithium showing to the south of the property which three grab samples rich in lepidolite, returned up to 1.83% LiO2, 0.34% Cs, 1.11% Rb, 126 ppm Nb, 374 ppm Ta and 0.3% B*.
