[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 22, 2023) - NEWFOUNDLAND DISCOVERY CORP. (CSE: NEWD) (OTC Pink: NEWDF) (FSE: M4K-FF) (\"Newfoundland Discovery\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an option agreement (the \"Agreement\") whereby the Company has been granted the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Dickison/McKnight Property (the \"Dickison Lithium Property\" or the \"Property\"), located in Ontario, Canada. Dickison Lithium Property The acquisition of the Dickison Lithium Property, located in the McKnight Lake Area Township near Terrace Bay, Ontario, presents a unique and timely opportunity to capitalize on the rapidly growing lithium metal and green energy markets. Spanning 6,933 hectares, the property is situated 54 k north of Terrace Bay, with easy access to highways and logging roads. The area's geology is characterized by muscovite-bearing granite, which hosts numerous lithium deposits and pegmatites, as well as a network of faults that provide pathways for granitic melts and evolving pegmatites. The Dickison Lithium Property adds to Newfoundland Discovery's already strategically located Sugaree Project in the Hearst Lithium District, adjacent to Brunswick Exploration. The Sugaree Project covers 2,736 hectares, and with the addition of the Dickison Lithium Property, the company now commands a significant position of nearly 10,000 hectares in the favourable district. Strategically positioned adjacent and on-trend with the Sugaree Project, the Dickison Lithium Property benefits from its proximity to the well-known Georgia Lake Pegmatite field, 25 km to the west. The Georgia Lake pegmatite field is recognized as the largest concentration of rare element mineralization in the Superior Province, making the Dickison Lithium Property an attractive prospect for further exploration. Historical data from the Ontario Geological Survey (\"OGS\") in 1970 reveals the presence of several white pegmatites containing garnet and tourmaline on the property. These minerals indicate fertile granitic melts and fractionation, which are essential processes for lithium-bearing pegmatite deposition. With good outcrop exposure, as confirmed by Google Earth, the property is primed for further exploration and potential development. The rising global demand for lithium, driven by the green energy r...
