VALLEE DRILLING INTERSECTS 1.04% LI2O OVER 6.46 M

Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc. joint venture partner North American Lithium (NAL) has provided to the company the first set of assay results from the summer drilling program at the Vallee joint venture lithium project, located approximately 30 kilometres north of Val d'Or, Que., within the heart of the Vallee lithium corridor. NAL and Consolidated elected to expand the summer program to 58 holes totalling 15,607 metres, which has now been completed. NAL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sayona Quebec Inc., which is owned 75 per cent by Sayona Mining Ltd. and 25 per cent by Piedmont Lithium Inc.

The first hole of the summer program (hole VAL23-01) intersected two separate high-grade pegmatite dikes. The first returned a composite assay grade of 1.04 per cent Li2O (lithium oxide) over 6.46 m from 55.12 m to 61.58 m, and the second, 1.35 per cent Li2O over 3.39 m from 129.14 m to 132.53 m. Four of the remaining holes in which assays have been reported returned assay grades exceeding the cut-off grade of 0.25 per cent Li2O over lengths exceeding one m.

All 58 holes of the 15,607 m program were located within the high-priority area along strike of the NAL open put mine and within the main NAL mine trend. The JV partners have received final assay results from 18 holes to date.

The key highlight of the program to date was confirmation of the extension of the core pegmatite across the entire width of the JV property, where it remains open along strike to the east onto the company's 100-per-cent-owned East Vallee project lands where there is no historical drilling for several kilometres along strike to the east-southeast along the favourable La Corne batholith margin. The core pegmatite also remains open in the down-dip direction along the entire length of its strike length on the property. The core pegmatite has now been defined over a strike length of 4.2 km extending from the NAL open pit to the east boundary of the JV property. The core pegmatite is one of the larger dikes present within the NAL open pit.

The objectives of the summer drilling program were to expand upon the lithium pegmatites discovered by the company's drilling programs in 2021, 2022 and 2023, which remain open along strike to the southeast and at depth, as well as testing the on-strike extension of the NAL pegmatite swarm on the project.

About the Vallee JV

The JV property is located immediately adjacent to, and along strike of, NAL's operations, the largest lithium operation in North America. The JV property is majority owned by Consolidated, with NAL having an option to earn up to a 51-per-cent interest therein (see the company's news releases dated Nov. 14, 2022, and Dec. 19, 2022). NAL earned its initial 25-per-cent interest in the JV property pursuant to its first option in late 2023. NAL has a second option to spend an additional $6-million by Nov. 14, 2024, to earn a cumulative 50-per-cent interest.

Analytical procedures

NAL, as the project operator, selected samples from the drill core using visual identification of lithium-bearing minerals in the drill core with the assistance of a laser-induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) hand-held analyzer. Core samples were sawn into two halves, with one-half being submitted for analysis and the other half retained and returned to the core tray and stored for future reference.

All samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratories, Vancouver, an independent accredited laboratory. The samples were crushed and pulverized. Excess crushed and pulverized material not used in the analysis have been retained for future reference. All samples were analyzed by ME-MS589L sodium peroxide fusion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry finish using a 0.2-gram aliquot of pulverized material.

Assay sample of certified reference material (CRM), half core duplicate sampling and insertion of blanks into the sample sequence has been undertaken to ensure quality assurance/quality control. Protocols include systematic insertion of CRM standards at approximately one in every 25 samples and alternating blank samples of quartz and core duplicate samples for every one in 25 samples. The CRM material used for monitoring lithium values are OREAS 750, OREAS 752 and OREAS 753. Occasionally, a CRM for zinc (OREAS 630B) has been used to validate other metals. These standards have been selected to reflect the target mineralization. Assays of quality control samples were compared with reference samples in database and verified as acceptable prior to use of data from analyzed batches.

It is believed the sampling, assaying and laboratory procedures are representative of the drilled material and appropriate for the project.
