(TSXV: GEL) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the completion of Phase-1 exploration work at its 100% owned Lac Aux Bouleaux Graphite (LAB) Property. The work was carried out during July-September 2021 and included prospecting, mapping, trenching, ground geophysical surveying and sampling.Exploration Work HighlightsLarge flake graphite showings located on the property were confirmed with flake size in the range of 0.5 to 5 millimeters, typically present in shear zones at the contact of gneisses and marbles where the graphite content usually ranges from 2% to 20%, based on historical information. Graphite mineralization and rock outcrops were also exposed by digging trenches over geophysical survey conductor identified during airborne and ground geophysical surveys conducted 2015-19 by previous operators.83 grab and channel samples were collected during the program which identified three target areas in the eastern part of the Property. Target area LAB-1 has graphite mineralization associated with quartz feldspar gneisses with carbonaceous bands. Target area LAB-2 has association of extra-large flake up to 0.5 cm in marble; and LAB-3 has graphite mineralization associated with gneissic banding and folds. Some of the samples were taken from the country rock to see the background concentration of graphitic carbon (Cg).The sample assays are in the range of less than 0.05% to 23.2% graphitic carbon (Cg) with 12 samples over 10% Cg, three samples between 5% and 10% Cg, and the remaining samples with lower values. Each channel sample from this work was 15cm to 100cm long, 5 cm wide and 3-5 cm deep cut in bedrock. The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories (\"ACTLABS\"), Ancaster, Ontario for sample preparation and analyses using laboratory test codes 4F-C Graphitic[1] to measure graphitic carbon, and 4F-C Total[2] to measure total carbon. All sampling was completed by and under the supervision of Mr. Martin Ethier, Géo (#1520) who is a Member of the Order of Geologists of Québec and a \"Qualified Person\" under NI 43-101, and Afzaal Pirzada, who is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geo...
