Drilling Permits Approved for the North Elko Lithium Project, Nevada

A total of 24 drill pads are approved under the permits, and additional drill pads could be added, subject to approval by BLM. One drilling permit covers the eastern part of NELP and the second permit is over the central and western portions of NELP. Each drilling permit is limited to a maximum disturbance area of 5 acres (10 acres total), as calculated under BLM formulas, with 5.12 acres of total disturbance area taken up by the present drilling plan and pads between the two permits.

In early 2023, Surge Battery Metals (Surge) announced a significant lithium in clay discovery adjacent to NELP mineral claims held by Peloton since 2018. Since the discovery, Surge has reported an inferred resource of 11.24 million tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent at 3,010 ppm Li, thought to be the highest-grade lithium clay resource in North America.

NELP is now at the drilling stage following Peloton surface exploration work which included airborne hyperspectral imaging, a property wide soil geochemistry survey, geologic mapping, prospecting and sampling, X-Ray Diffraction analysis of over 500 surface samples, and a tTEM surface geophysical survey. A summary of results from each phase follows:

• Hyperspectral imaging data shows a lithium bearing clay layer outcropping frequently at surface across almost the entire property.

• Soil geochemistry analysis shows an elevated lithium anomaly (up to 18 times background) covering over 25 square kilometers or 9.65 square miles.

• Geologic mapping suggests NELP is within an alkaline paleolake (ancient lake) environment, within a structural graben bounded by northerly-striking normal faults.

• X-Ray Diffraction analysis shows NELP is within bedded alkaline lake sediments and volcaniclastic rocks. The mineralogy of the bedded volcanic rocks is consistent with magmas that are likely sources of lithium.

• tTEM surface geophysics shows an underlying layer, interpreted as clay rich, across almost the entire property.

Mr. Edward (Ted) Ellwood, President and CEO commented, "We plan to drill this summer from each of the 24 drill pads which will cover the broad extent of the 14 square mile property. It will be an exciting program with so many drill holes over such a large area."

This news release contains "forward-looking information" (within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws) and "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995).

Such statements include, among others, those concerning the Company's plans for exploration activity and to conduct future exploration programs. Such forward-looking information or statements are based on a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions which may cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated and which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, management's expectations regarding its ability to initiate and complete future exploration work as expected. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, operational risks in the completion of the Company's future exploration work; technical, safety or regulatory issues; availability of capital; changes in general economic conditions and financial markets; the imposition of government restrictions on business which may ultimately affect and delay the exploration timeline; and changes in prices for metals that the Company is exploring for.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information or statements are reasonable, prospective investors in the Company's securities should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because the Company can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
