Medaro Mining Enters Into Agreement to Acquire James Bay Pontax Lithium Project

17.05.2023  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, May 17, 2023 - Medaro Mining Corp. (CSE: MEDA OTC:MEDAF FWB:1ZY) ("Medaro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a share purchase agreement (the "SPA") to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of 1411409 B.C. Ltd. (the "Target"), a company holding a 100% interest in the mining claims comprising the James Bay Pontax Project (the "Project") in Quebec, Canada (the "Acquisition"). The Project is comprised of 101 mineral claims covering approximately 5,800 hectares (58 square kilometers) located in the heart of the Lithium-rich Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory of Quebec.

The Project is in a highly active prospective zone of James Bay Area, being situated 30 km south of Allkem Limited's James Bay Lithium Project which has a published Mineral Reserve Estimate of 40.3Mt at 1.4% Li2O1. About 1 km west of the Project lies Stria Lithium Inc.'s ("Stria") Pontax Project, which hosts the Pontax Lithium Showing that was drilled in Winter 2022/2023. The Pontax showing is made of a series of spodumene pegmatites. These pegmatitic dykes are aligned along the tectonic grain (NE-SW) and are hosted in the Chambois Greenstone Belt. The Project is also (i) located less than 6 km to the East of Patriot Battery Metals Inc.'s Pontax showing, on which sampling in 2018 returned an assay of 0.94% Li2O and Ta205 of 520ppm, (ii) located 6.5 km North of LiFT Power Ltd.'s Moyenne Project, and (iii) borders Brunswick Exploration Inc.'s, Anatacau West Project's southern boundary for 10 km. Mineralization hosted on the adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization hosted on the Project.

The Project is located in LaGrande Subprovince, close to the boundary with the Némiscau Subprovince. Both Subprovinces are separated by the Causabiscau Shearzone. The Project is underlain with granitoids of diverse composition within which are found dismembered volcanic units that could represent remnants of the Chambois Greenstone Belt.

While the Project has not yet been prospected for lithium, anomalous Li values (up to 17.7 ppm Li) from a regional lake bottom sediment survey (Beaumier 1996)2 are reported on the Project. For comparative purposes, the highest Li value reported on Stria's Pontax Property is 16.6 ppm Li. Most of these anomalous Li values are located at or in the vicinity of Chambois Lake. In addition, high resolution satellite imaging shows an abundance of NE-SW aligned outcrops most notably in the surroundings Chambois Lake. A Hydro-Quebec powerline traverses the center of the Project where a large part of these outcrops are found, which may facilitate their accessibility.

Transaction Terms

Pursuant to the SPA, Medaro has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target in exchange for (i) 1,200,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share (the "Consideration Shares") (ii) a cash payment of $7,500 and (iii) a commitment to incur $150,000 in exploration expenditures over the twelve (12) months following closing.

The Consideration Shares will be subject to resale restrictions, contemplating release in three equal tranches every four (4) months following the closing date of the Acquisition.

The Company will also pay a bonus of $150,000 to the vendors of the Target (the "Contingent Cash") if, in carrying out exploration on the Project, the Company intersects five (5) intercepts of spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes grading a minimum of 1.20% Li2O over a minimum of 1.5 meters.

Michael Mulberry, CEO of Medaro, states "We are very excited to be adding such a significant Project to our stable of projects in Medaro. The James Bay area of Quebec has proven to be a significant area for the exploration of the spodumene in pegmatites grading significant values of lithium and lithium carbonate. We think the potential for discovery in the Pontax area is huge, as indicated by the interest of many other serious exploration companies in the area. This will be a significant asset for Medaro."
