Six of the fifteen claims (the “James Bay Claims”) are located south of Patriot Battery Metals Inc.’s (“Patriot”) Corvette Lithium Project, in James Bay, Quebec. The James Bay Claims contain six historic lithium occurrences south of Patriot’s claims, reported as:

• 75 parts per million (“ppm”) lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website in Unique sample number : 1997015878;, and 63 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website in Unique sample number : 1997015877
• 70 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website Unique sample number : 1997016003;
• 63 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website in Unique sample number : 1997015952;
• 39 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website in Unique sample number : 1997015874;
• 36 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website in Unique sample number : 1997015993; and
• 31 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website in Unique sample number : 1997016004.

The rock types reported at these historic occurrences are tonalite, paragneiss, granodiorite, diorite, silexite.

Eight of the fifteen claims are located in Northeastern Quebec, approximately 60 km northeast of Kangiqsualujjuaq (the “Kangiqsualujjuaq Claims”). The Kangiqsualujjuaq Claims contain four historic pegmatite hosted lithium occurrences. These listed lithium occurrences list the rock type as uncertain. the values and references are reported as:

• 162 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website Unique sample number : 1906030738;
• 240 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website Unique sample number : 1906030812;
• 359 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website Unique sample number : 1906030730;
• 300 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website Unique sample number : 1906030731;
• 259 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website Unique sample number : 1906030813; and
• 81.9 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec website Unique sample number : 1906030733.

The above listed historic samples located on the Kangiqsualujjuaq Claims are the only reported samples from an elongate zone that trends seven kilometers from the 162 ppm lithium sample in the northwest to the to 81.9 ppm lithium sample in the southeast. The distance from the 162 ppm lithium sample to the 259 ppm lithium sample is approximately five kilometres. All samples within the Kangiqsualujjuaq Claims contain Lithium values, with Unique sample number : 1906030813 with 259 ppm lithium, assaying alsoed 0.11% cerium, and 644 ppm lanthanum.

Approximately ten kilometers to the west of the seven kilometer elongate zone, another four (4) lithium occurrences, all within pegmatites, were also staked. Historic values reported are 51.3 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec online website in Unique sample number : 1906029993, 56.2 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec online website in Unique sample number : 1906029995, 51.4 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec online website in Unique sample number : 1906029980, and 80.1 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec online website in Unique sample number : 1906029984

Within this ten kilometer long by upto four km wide area covered by online staked cells, are a total of 39 sample locations, with the 27 sample locations returning the lithium values. The 39 samples Unique sample range is from Unique sample number : 1985010977 to Unique sample number : 1985011016 . The southernmost sample location reported 31 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec online website Unique sample number : 1985010997, and the northernmost sample reported 45 ppm lithium as reported on eSigeom Quebec online website in Unique sample number : 1985010993.
