Provides Update on Miminiska Project

VANCOUVER, May 3, 2022 - Lithoquest Resources Inc. (TSXV:LDI) ("Lithoquest" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into an Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the 615ha Gold Standard Project located in northwest Ontario. The Company has also staked an additional 252 mineral claims surrounding the Gold Standard property, bringing the total project area to 5,953 ha.

"Gold Standard augments the Company's portfolio of projects in northwest Ontario," commented Bruce Counts, President and CEO of Lithoquest Resources Inc. "Historical work on the property supports the potential for a major discovery, the area is under-explored, and it can be acquired and advanced inexpensively."

Gold Standard Project Highlights

  • Option to earn a 100% interest in claims covering historical high-grade gold workings
  • Results from work conducted by the vendors near the historical workings include 471 g/t Au* and 450 g/t Au* from bedrock grab samples as well as 113 g/t Au over 1.2m* from a chip sample
  • Minimal exploration work has been completed in the project area. No holes have been drilled near the historical workings and there are only 4 holes on the property with the last completed in 1971.
  • Accessible year-round
  • Low acquisition cost

The Option Agreement contemplates Lithoquest earning a 100% interest in the Gold Standard mineral claims (see Figure 1) from Messrs. Allan Onchulenko and Peter Gehrels (the "Vendors") by making the scheduled payments defined in Table 1. The Option Agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance
