Beauce acquires seven phosphate properties in Quebec

2023-11-16 15:22 ET - News Release

Mr. Patrick Levasseur reports

BGF ACQUIRES MORE PROPERTIES FOR ITS QUEBEC PHOSPHATE PROJECT

Beauce Gold Fields Inc. has acquired seven more prospective phosphate (apatite, P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide)) properties throughout Quebec. This is in addition to its previously announced 21 phosphates properties in Quebec (press release June 16, 2023). Phosphate is used in agriculture and is a critical component in producing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are increasingly used in electric vehicles.

Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields, said, "We are now a significant holder of single phosphate properties in Canada. Under the Quebec Phosphate banner, we will explore our new phosphate properties and seek innovative technologies to process our phosphate rock for the production of phosphoric acid for LFP batteries."

Explore its highly prospective properties in Quebec for new phosphate deposits

The company recently secured eight new properties through map staking, chosen for their gravel quarries which display indications of apatite, as per MRN file reports. An announcement on May 4, 2023 (BGF press release) highlighted the acquisition of 21 phosphate projects, selected for their strategic location and geological prospects. Cumulatively, the company's phosphate holdings now include 28 properties with 410 claims over an area of 27,224 hectares, all fully owned and exempt from royalties. The selection criteria focused on properties with documented historical occurrences of phosphate (Apatite, P2O5) or those with sample data available and open for exploration. The data supporting these selections was obtained from the Ministere des Ressources Naturelles of Quebec (MERN), the Quebec Geomineral Information System (SIGEOM), and the Geofiche databases.

The Company will continue with data analysis to rank the proprieties for their P2O5 potential. Properties deemed to have the highest potential will be prioritized for on-site exploration and outcrop sampling. This will be done concurrently with the Company's gold projects.

Eight new properties in bold *Highest historical grade sampled

Even though the data was sourced from Quebec's MRN databases, the Company cautions investors to note that historical phosphate P2O5 samples results, grades, mineralization and property descriptions are conceptual in nature. A qualified person has not completed sufficient work to validate historical data nor to classify mineral resources as defined by National Instrument (NI) 43-101; it is uncertain if future exploration will result in any delineated mineral resources.

About Phosphate

Phosphate is a critical nutrient for plant growth and plays a crucial role in agriculture. It is commonly used in the form of fertilizers to enhance crop yields. However, the global demand for phosphate is increasing rapidly due to population growth and dietary changes, which could lead to a depletion of global phosphate reserves in the near future, also known as "Peak Phosphate."(Peak phosphorus, demand trends and implications, July 2019, Binlin Li , KB Bicknell , Alan Renwick)

In addition to its use in agriculture, phosphate is also a key component in the production of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are increasingly used in electric vehicles (EVs) due to their high energy density and safety features. The LFP battery market is projected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by the global push towards EVs. Tesla, Renault, Volkswagen, and Ford are just a few examples of electric vehicle (EV) car companies currently using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

The use of phosphate in LFP batteries creates new demand for this critical resource, which could exacerbate the issue of Peak Phosphate. Hence the importance of exploring for further new phosphate reserves.

About Beauce Gold Fields

Beauce Gold Fields is a gold exploration company focused on placer to hard rock exploration in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec. The Company's objective is the trace old placer gold workings back to a bedrock source to uncover economic lode gold deposits. The Company's flagship property is the St-Simon-les-Mines Gold project site of Canada's first gold rush that pre-dates the Yukon Klondike. The Beauce region hosted some of the largest historical placer gold mines in Eastern North America that were active from 1860s to the 1960s It produced some of the largest gold nuggets in Canadian mining history (50oz to 71oz).
