(CSE: EMPS) (OTCQB: EMPPF) (\"EMP Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the successful drilling and a multi-layer perforation and swab test of a wellbore strategically located on of Hub City Lithium Corp.'s Subsurface Crown Mineral Dispositions located in the Viewfield Area of Saskatchewan. Third-party laboratory testing returned lithium concentrations in the Duperow formation of up to 259 mg/l (the \"Test Results\") (For Detailed Test Results refer to Figure 1). According to public records, these Test Results are the highest lithium concentrations recorded in a brine in Canada to date. Test Results Target Duperow Interval Average Porosity (%) Zone Thickness (m) Lithium Concentration (mg/l) Wymark E 14.5 3.6 220 Wymark D 20.4 10.6 259 Wymark C 14.1 10.29 167 Wymark B 16.2 16.41 98 Wymark A 14 8.9 94 Saskatoon A 14 10.6 145 Note: Independent laboratory testing was conducted by Isobrine Solutions (Edmonton, Alberta) Rob Gamley, EMP CEO commented, \"The results of the Viewfield 2-22 well are nothing short of incredible. The elevated lithium concentrations and high flow rates across six zones make this a very exciting lithium brine well for our joint venture and for lithium exploration and development in Canada. Based on public data these are the highest lithium concentrations tested in Canada to date. Seeing such high lithium concentrations in six zones provides us with a second prospective project area for development alongside the previously announced multi-zone Mansur Project.\" Flow Test Results High volume ESP flow test 1: December 14th to 16th. Combined perforations from the Wymark D, E and F zones from 1820m to 1844m was flow tested for 41 hours at an average rate of 12.7 m3/hr or 304 m3/day. The test resulted in a post cleanup 24 sample average of 215.3 mg/l High volume ESP flow test 2: December 27th to 29th. Combined perforations from all zones from 1820m to 1911m were flow tested for 54.5 hours at an average rate of 23 m3/hr or 550 m3/day. The test resulted in a post clean up three sample test averaging 204.5 mg/l. Next Steps The Company will drill additional test wells within the area as part of its continued evaluation. These high lithium concentrations in six target intervals suggest the poten...
