MEDARO MINING ANNOUNCES EXCHANGE ACCEPTANCE TO ACQUIRE THE JAMES BAY PONTAX LITHIUM PROJECT

The Canadian Securities Exchange has accepted for filing Medaro Mining Corp.'s share purchase agreement to acquire 100 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of 1411409 B.C. Ltd. (the target), a company holding a 100-per-cent interest in the mining claims comprising the James Bay Pontax project in Quebec, Canada. The Project is comprised of 101 mineral claims covering approximately 5,800 hectares (58 square kilometers) located in the heart of Lithium-rich Eeyou Istchee, James Bay Territory of Quebec.

The Project is in a highly active prospective zone of James Bay Area, being situated 30 km south of Allkem Limited's James Bay Lithium Project which has a published Mineral Reserve Estimate of 40.3Mt at 1.4% Li2O1. About 1 km west of the Project lies Stria Lithium Inc.'s ("Stria") Pontax Project, which hosts the Pontax Lithium Showing. Stria's previous 25 hole, 3,286 meter drill program produced the following highlights; 15.6 m of 1.6% Li2O at 83.9 mts depth, and 4.8 mts of 2.6% Li2O at 19.4 m. In addition, Brunswick Exploration drilled 18 holes for 3,712 m on its Anatacau West project, neighbouring Allkem's James Bay Lithium Deposit. Partial results include a 26.5 mt. intercept of 1.51% Li2O.

The Pontax project has two other high-profile neighbors. Patriot Battery Metals Inc. owns a block of 35 mining titles, 6km to the west and has previously announced a proven and probable resource of 37.2 million tonnes at 1.3% Li2O on its Corvette Property. Li-FT Power Ltd. contains the Moyenne Project directly south of Medero's property. Several geochemical anomalies in Lithium and Tantale were recently delimited from a regional till sampling on this property.

The Project is located in LaGrande Subprovince, close to the boundary with the Nemiscau Subprovince. Both Subprovinces are separated by the Causabiscau Shearzone. The Project is underlain with granitoids of diverse composition within which are found dismembered volcanic units that could represent remnants of the Chambois Greenstone Belt.

While the Project has not yet been prospected for lithium, anomalous Li values (up to 17.7 ppm Li) from a regional lake bottom sediment survey (Beaumier 1996)2 are reported on the Project. For comparative purposes, the highest Li value reported on Stria's Pontax Property is 16.6 ppm Li. Most of these anomalous Li values are located at or in the vicinity of Chambois Lake. In addition, high resolution satellite imaging shows an abundance of NE-SW aligned outcrops most notably in the surroundings Chambois Lake. A Hydro-Quebec powerline traverses the center of the Project where a large part of these outcrops are found, which may facilitate their accessibility.

Transaction Terms

Pursuant to the SPA, Medaro has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target in exchange for (i) 1,200,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share (the "Consideration Shares") (ii) a cash payment of $7,500 and (iii) a commitment to incur $150,000 in exploration expenditures over the twelve (12) months following closing.

The Consideration Shares will be subject to resale restrictions, contemplating release in three equal tranches every four (4) months following the closing date of the Acquisition.

The Company will also pay a bonus of $150,000 to the vendors of the Target (the "Contingent Cash") if, in carrying out exploration on the Project, the Company intersects five (5) intercepts of spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes grading a minimum of 1.20% Li2O over a minimum of 1.5 meters.

Michael Mulberry, CEO of Medaro, states "We are very excited to be adding such a significant Project to our stable of projects in Medaro. The Pontax project will double our footprint in Quebec. The project is in a very active and prolific area of lithium exploration in Quebec. The close proximity to our CYR south project will make us one of the more significant land package holders in the area. Our 2023 exploration program planned for both properties shows our commitment and excitement for both projects, as this area of Quebec has proven to be a significant area for the exploration of the spodumene in pegmatites grading significant values of lithium and lithium carbonate. We think the potential for discovery in the Pontax area is huge, as indicated by the interest of many other serious exploration companies in the area. This will be a significant asset for Medaro."
