EMP METALS COMPLETES DRILLING OF SECOND LITHIUM WELL IN VIEWFIELD AREA, SASKATCHEWAN

Hub City Lithium Corp. (HCL), a subsidiary company to EMP Metals Corp., has completed the drilling of its second targeted lithium well in the Viewfield area. The perforation and flow testing of the Duperow formation will begin within the next seven days and take approximately three to four weeks to complete. Brine concentrations and flow rates will be reported upon completion of testing.

The objective of the second targeted lithium well is to: (i) delineate the established pool, (ii) reaffirm commerciality, and (iii) take appropriate steps towards a future commercial pilot plant. The data will be used to contribute towards the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") which is expected in Q3 2023. The well may also serve as a future disposal well with the drilling pad optimizing future multi-zone horizontal wells, as the Company continues to delineate the established pool.

Rob Gamley, CEO of EMP, commented, "We continue to aggressively advance our business plan in our two core areas, Mansur and Viewfield. EMP remains focused on the completion of its PEA and deployment of a pilot plant, which may occur in early 2024."

By way of background, lithium concentrations and flow testing of the first lithium dedicated test well in the Viewfield area, as described in the press release dated February 21 st, 2023, returned lithium concentrations in the Duperow formation of up to 259 mg/l and high volume flow testing from all zones at an average rate of 550 m3/day.
