The Company also announces that it has entered into an agreement dated October 25, 2023 to acquire a 100% interest in two lithium exploration stage mineral properties (the "Properties") from Nomad Resource Partners Inc.

Located in the west-central Eeyou Istchee Baie-James Territory in northern Québec adjacent to the Li-FT Power Ltd. ("Li-FT") Pontax Project. The newly acquired Properties consists of 76 mining claims within an active hard rock lithium district. The James Bay region is now one of Canada's best-known regions for lithium with several known deposits, numerous spodumene showings, and a continuous array of new discoveries. The Properties are made up of 32 claims comprising the Pontax South property and 44 claims comprising the Pontax East property. The consideration for the acquisition of the Properties will be paid by the issuance of 1,850,000 common shares of the Company (the "Consideration Shares") to Nomad Partners upon closing the proposed transaction (the "Proposed Transaction").

The Properties are well situated near Li-FT's Pontax Project which contains the most extensive lithium anomaly within Li-FT's projects in the Province of Québec (source: https://www.li-ft.com/projects/pontax/). The Properties are highly accessible as the area is four kilometres from the James Bay Road (Route Billy-Diamond Highway) which is maintained year-round and offers one of the only routes into the James Bay region of Québec.

The Proposed Transaction is being conducted on an arm's length basis and no finder's fee are payable in connection therewith. Messrs. Metcalfe, de La Plante and Cardin-Tremblay are the principal of Nomad Resource Partners. The Purchase Agreement is subject to regulatory approval, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
