ARBOR METALS COMMENCES PHASE 3 DRILLING AT JARNET LITHIUM PROJECT
Arbor Metals Corp. has commenced its phase 3 diamond drilling program at the wholly owned Jarnet lithium project, located adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals' Shaakichiuwaanaan property (formerly known as the Corvette project) in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.
Building on the success of earlier exploration phases, this phase 3 drilling program will target areas at Jarnet 2, along with high-value targets on the Firebird, Corvette and St. Pierre claims. The drilling campaign is set to last approximately six weeks and will involve 10 set-ups, with a total of 12 drill holes, estimated to reach a combined length of 3,000 metres.
"We are excited to begin phase 3 of the drilling program at the Jarnet lithium project," said Mark Ferguson, president and chief executive officer of Arbor. "The expansion of drilling to additional targets, including the Firebird, Corvette and St. Pierre claims, underscores the growing potential of the Jarnet property. We are confident this phase will help us continue to build on the positive results from previous drilling and move the project closer to defining its lithium potential."
Drilling will be performed by Forage et Construction Muskw, a joint venture between Forage Fusion Drilling and the Cree community, represented by Saskounan. Muskw, based in Chisasibi, Que., is co-owned and predominantly operated by local and indigenous stakeholders. Muskw's involvement exemplifies the success of local and indigenous ownership, and reinforces Arbor's commitment to community engagement and economic development in the regions where it operates. Arbor extends its sincere gratitude to Muskw for its expertise, professionalism and dedication to the project.
Arbor is committed to conducting all of its exploration activities with a strong focus on environmental stewardship. The company adheres to industry-leading environmental guidelines and strives to minimize its environmental footprint. Furthermore, Arbor continues to work collaboratively with local indigenous groups and other stakeholders to ensure its activities are aligned with the needs and concerns of the communities in which it operates. Arbor recognizes the importance of responsible resource development and is dedicated to contributing to the sustainable growth of the region.

Arbor Metals is a mining exploration company focused on developing high-value, geographically significant mineral projects worldwide. Arbor is paving the way for advanced mineral exploration as it oversees world-class mining projects. The company is confident that combining quality projects with proven strategies and a dedicated team will yield exceptional outcomes.
The Jarnet, Corvette Lake and St. Pierre lithium projects, located in the James Bay region of Quebec, comprise 83 map-designated claims, covering an area of approximately 5,606 hectares. The projects are contiguous to the Corvette-FCI property, where diamond drilling has confirmed significant lithium mineralization, representing one of the highest-profile lithium exploration projects in the sector.
The Kemlee Lake lithium project is strategically located three kilometres east of Rock Tech Lithium Inc.'s Aumacho claim blocks and 12 kilometres south of the Georgia Lake project. The project shares many geological similarities with the prolific Georgia Lake deposit, including bedrock geology and the presence of massive intrusive dikes. The primary target at the project will be spodumene-bearing pegmatites hosted in metasediments.
We seek Safe Harbor.
