The properties cover highly prospective greenstone terrains with the Radis Property strategically located proximal to existing hydroelectric power and all-season road infrastructure.Radis Lithium Project The Company's inaugural exploration of the Radis Property was successful in confirming lithium pegmatite at the Property, with the vast majority of the Property remaining to be assessed for lithium pegmatite. Initial results were previously announced in news release dated October 5, 2023.Highlights:1.28% Li2O over 3.0 m from channel CH23-01 on Chou Showing with an average of 0.71% Li2O and 205 ppm Ta2O5 over exposed pegmatite interval of 6.0 mChannel CH23-02 on Chou extension outcrop returned length weighted average of 0.79% Li2O and 135 ppm Ta2O5 over 2.9m including 1.43% Li2O over 1.0 mA total of 33 grab and 9 channel samples collected from over 30 separate pegmatite dykes returned values greater than 54 ppm to a maximum of 706 ppm Ta2O5 primarily surrounding the Navet dyke swarm, showing the expansive LCT pegmatite potential of the Radis PropertyBoth Chou and Navet spodumene pegmatite showings remain open in multiple directions and Property has confirmed 4.5 km trend of LCT pegmatite occurrences Vast majority of Property and prospective trends remain to be assessed for lithium pegmatiteCompletion of 30.6 line-km IP-Resistivity Survey over the identified lithium trend on the western portion of the Radis Property returned seventeen (17) high priority resistivity anomaliesShawn Wescott, Company CEO, comments: \"We are excited about the results from 2023 exploration work at the Radis Property. The channel results prove that mineralization of the central portion of the Chou Pegmatite is consistent and remains open in multiple directions. Results from the remaining dykes indicate that the pegmatites at Radis are highly fractionated and likely part of a robust LCT system over a 4.5km trend. We look forward to pulling together all data collected in 2...
