EMP METALS ENTERS RESEARCH COLLABORATION WITH UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FOR FINDING SOURCES OF SUBSURFACE LITHIUM

EMP Metals Corp. has entered a research collaboration with the University of Regina focused on tracing the source of lithium in subsurface waters within the Western Canadian sedimentary basin -- a 1.4-million-square-kilometre area in Western Canada that includes southwestern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, northeastern British Columbia and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories.

The Company has agreed to support the work of University of Regina geologist Dr. Leslie Robbins by providing $30,000 in financial support over two years. In conjunction with EMP's financial support, Dr. Robbin's team has received a $60,000 Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Alliance grant.

"Lithium is a great option to help provide clean and renewable energy technologies - and demand for it is anticipated to increase substantially in the coming years," said Dr. Robbins, an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Science. "There's been a lot of momentum in Western Canada to extract lithium from subsurface brines. However, our understanding of this process is in its infancy, and there's a lack of a predictive framework to find the locations of these lithium deposits in subsurface brines. Working with EMP Metals Corp, my project will help advance this work."

"EMP is pleased to support the research being done by Dr. Robbins and his team. We believe that western Canada, and in particular southeastern Saskatchewan has huge reserves of Lithium and we are dedicated as a company to responsibly developing these reserves through to production, building value for our shareholders and Canadians as a whole," commented EMP CEO, Rob Gamley.
