The Property covers approximately 7,386 hectares (73.9 km2). It is located approximately 80 km north of Sioux Lookout, Ontario (Figure 1), is easily accessible year-round by way of well-maintained highway and logging roads, and features good outcrop exposure. The Property is located 8 km south of the McCombe-Root Lithium project owned by Green Technology Metals (ASX: GT1), which has announced high grade lithium results from their 24,000 m drill program on the project in recent months, new spodumene bearing pegmatite dyke discoveries in the area of the project, and the commencement of baseline environmental studies, all of which highligh the importance of this emerging pegmatite field. The McCombe-Root Lithium project has a historic resource of 2.297 Mt grading 1.3% Li2O (Mulligan R., Geological Survey of Canada, 1965).

Craig Gibson, President & CEO commented, "The Peggy Group Lithium property is an exciting addition to our growing portfolio of lithium properties and other mineral assets. The Property is hosted within metasediments in contact with muscovite bearing granitic rocks, a peraluminous S type fertile parental granite. Metasediments make excellent hosts for lithium bearing pegmatites and we are keen to commence exploration work on the Property."

The Company is also pleased to announce a proposed non-brokered private placement of up to 3,750,000 common shares of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of $0.20 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $750,000 (the "Offering").

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for exploration of certain of its properties and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Company may pay finders' fees in connection with the Offering in cash, shares, warrants or a combination thereof. All securities to be issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from their date of issuance.

The offered securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.


Qualified Person and Third-Party Data

The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Craig Gibson, Ph.D., P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company (the "Qualified Person"). Dr. Gibson is a "qualified person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").

Certain information in this press release regarding the presence of mineral deposits and the size of such deposits is based on information that has been obtained from publicly available information and industry reports, which constitute historical estimates. Such reports generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy or completeness of such information is not guaranteed. While the Company considers historical estimates to be relevant to investors, as they may indicate the presence of mineralization, the Qualified Person has not done sufficient work for the Company to classify the historical estimates as current "mineral resources" or "mineral reserves" (as defined in NI 43-101). The historical estimates contained in this press release were calculated prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 and the Company is not treating the historical estimates as current "mineral resources" or "mineral reserves". The potential quantities and grades of exploration targets referenced in this press release are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in any of the targets being delineated as a mineral resource. The Company has not independently verified and cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the historical estimates and other third-party data contained in this press release and investors should use caution in placing reliance on such information.
