Vancouver, December 11, 2024 - Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (TSXV: BKM) (OTC Pink: PBMLF) has received a report from Kent Zehr, PBM's consultant, on the presence of Critical Minerals in the assays from the Morrison project. The analysis included a specific investigation for the element Gallium.
In 1998, the Morrison Project was re-drilled using the required larger sized core. As part of the process, the assays from that core were subject to a 36 element analysis, performed to state of the art standards at that time.
The investigation showed the presence of seven minerals considered Critical Minerals today in various quantities. A summary of those minerals is detailed in the table below.
| ELEMENT | REPORTED AMOUNTS |
| NAME | SYMBOL | MINIMUM | MAXIMUM | UNITS |
| CHROMIUM | Cr | 53 | 235 | ppm |
| GALLIUM | Ga | 5 | 23 | ppm |
| MAGNESIUM | Mg | 0.52 | 2.65 | % |
| MANGANESE | Mn | 170 | >10,000 | ppm |
| MOLYBDENUM | Mo | 1 | 203 | ppm |
| SCANDIUM | SC | 3 | 12 | ppm |
| VANADIUM | V | 44 | 119 | ppm |
It must be understood that no work has been done to determine if these elements are present in a commercially recoverable form. It is not possible at this time to indicate whether the presence of these elements adds significant value to the orebody.
