(TSXV:SRA) (“Stria” or the “Company”) is\npleased to report positive results from initial mapping and outcrop\nsampling conducted by partner Cygnus Gold Ltd. (“Cygnus”) in\nOctober 2022 at the Company’s flagship Pontax Lithium property,\nlocated in west-central Eeyou Istchee James Bay  (EIJB) Territory of\nnorthern Québec.\n \n \n \n \n Highlights:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n During the fall (between October 20-31, 2022) mapping\nand prospecting programs conducted on the Pontax Lithium project\nrevealed a series of pegmatite dykes located outside of the main\nPontax spodumene pegmatite dyke prospect (“Pontax Central\nTarget”). Ten (10) channels totalling 28 metres in length were cut\nacross these dykes with a diamond saw and 19 samples, one metre in\nlength each, were collected and submitted for assaying.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Outcrop channel sampling* of a spodumene bearing\npegmatite outcrop found 80 metres southwest and along strike of the\nPontax Central target has returned 1.89% Li\n \n \n O\nover an apparent width of 4.0 metres. This pegmatite extends to the\nedge of the local cover of fluvioglacial sediments suggesting\npotential for lateral continuity under cover (Figure 1).  Cygnus\nplans to test the southwest extension of the spodumene pegmatite dyke\nswarm at the Pontax Central target as part of the ongoing 14,000 m\ndrilling program.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n At the adjacent Pontax North target, mapping has\nrevealed the presence of new spodumene-bearing pegmatites up to 5\nmetres wide at surface. Initial channel sampling* of three dykes from\nthree outcrops returned anomalous Li\n \n \n O grades of\n0.53% Li\n \n \n O over 3.0 apparent metres, 2.05%\nLi\n \n \n O over 2.0 apparent metres and 0.41%\nLi\n \n \n O over 1.0 apparent metre, respectively. These\nnew pegmatites are parallel to those of the Pontax Central target,\nlocated approximately 100 metres to the northwest and are distributed\nover a northeast strike length of...
