Indigo to begin Fox Creek sampling by mid-June

INDIGO PROVIDES EXPLORATION UPDATE FOR ITS ALBERTA LITHIUM BRINE PROJECTS

Indigo Exploration Inc. has provided an update to the timing of the exploration plan for its Alberta-based lithium brine projects. While the Fox Creek sampling and assaying program remains the first focus of the multiphased exploration program, the commencement of sampling has been delayed from late April/early May to mid-June due to the significant wildfires in the region. The wildfires that spread through Alberta, resulting in the declaration of a provincial state of emergency on May 6, 2023, have now subsided and evacuation notices have been rescinded. With the resumption of activities in the region, the company anticipates the sampling program at Fox Creek will commence by mid-June under the supervision of GLJ Ltd. as previously announced on April 24, 2023.

"Given the unprecedented wildfires in the region, we made the decision to defer the sampling program to ensure the safety of both our employees and contractors," commented Paul Cowley, president and chief executive officer of Indigo Exploration. "Now that we are able to safely return to the area, we anticipate having the sampling conducted in mid-June and look to provide an update on the completion of the program and timing of results shortly thereafter. Notwithstanding the delay, we remain confident in maintaining our broader exploration and development timelines with the delivery of two independent National Instrument 43-101 resource estimates by the fall and the commencement of a preliminary economic assessment for each project by year-end."

About the Fox Creek lithium brine projects

The Fox Creek project is located adjacent to active exploration and development work being undertaken by Lithium Bank, namely its Boardwalk and Park Place projects. The Fox Creek project covers an area of 114,522 hectares and comprises the Fox Creek East (45,568 hectares), Fox Creek West (59,738 hectares) and Fox Creek Central (9,216 hectares) areas. The exploration and sampling program will target 10 to 15 wells in each of the Fox Creek East and Fox Creek West areas. These areas are targeting the Devonian-aged reefs, including the Swan Hills member of the Beaverhill Lake formation, which is both a prolific formation for the production of hydrocarbons but also has the highest consistent lithium concentrations according to sampling data from the Alberta Geological Survey. Following the completion of the sampling program, a reservoir characterization and hydrogeologic mapping program will be completed utilizing well control and seismic data to model the reservoir, which, in conjunction with sampling assays, will form the foundation of the resource estimate.
