(TSXV: OPHR) (OTCQB: OPHRF) (FSE: 80M) (\"Ophir\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the success of its channel sampling program with the confirmation of high-grade Cesium at its HW3 Lithium-Cesium Pegmatite on the Pilipas Lithium Property (the \"Property\" or \"Project\"), located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. Pilipas is located proximal to existing hydroelectric power that flanks the Property to the east, an all-season road that bisects the western side of the Property and is situated in highly prospective greenstone terrain. The channel sampling program on the HW3 Pegmatite concluded early December with four (4) channels totaling 74.3 m being cut and sampled (Table 1). Results confirmed the presence of high-grade cesium across the HW3 Pegmatite with elevated levels of lithium and tantalum. Sampling results confirmed further presence of the high-grade zonation of cesium oxide (Cs2O). PCH24-001 returned 6.00% Cs2O over 1.4 m and 12.40% Cs2O over 0.5 m. (Table 1). PCH24-002 returned 5.0 m at 1.46% Cs2O, including 3.0 m at 2.29% Cs2O and 1.0 m at 5.30% Cs2O. Highlights from PCH24-003 include 4.0 m at 1.81% Cs2O, including 2.0 m at 2.30% Cs2O (Table 2). The results now highlight a minimum approximate 11 x 4 m size zone of cesium enrichment within the HW3 outcrop (Figure 2). The channel results are proximal to the 14.2% Cs2O surface sample reported earlier this year. (See news release dated October 10th 2024). The program also expanded the dimensions of the HW3 Pegmatite during surface clearing to approximately 15 m by 23 m with the southern ex...
