Loren Currie, CEO stated: "We are very pleased to have renegotiated Solonopole South, which will allow Vatic to allocate more funding to the exploration of these highly prospective lithium pegmatite fields. With the addition of a second highly prospective lithium pegmatite field, at Solonopole North, our total concession package will cover 124 km2. We believe that we will be in a strong strategic country position to explore and develop these prospective lithium properties."

OVERVIEW - SOLONOPOLE SOUTH LITHIUM PROPERTY

The Solonopole South is a highly prospective hard rock lithium property that hosts multiple extensive lithium bearing pegmatite dykes that recently returned initial grab samples of 5.03% Li2O, 3.72% Li2O and 3.41% Li2O.

Figure 1. Grab Samples from Vatic's Solonopole South Lithium Property

The Solonopole South Lithium Property consists of 4 claim blocks covering 4,813.57 hectares. The property is located in the coastal state of Ceara in Northeast Brazil, 40 km from the city of Solonopole in a known pegmatite mining district. Vatic's Solonopole South Property is located in an established lithium mining jurisdiction, with year round access, infrastructure in place and favorable mining legislation.

Figure 2. Solonopole South Lithium Property Location

The initial 2023 exploration program completed by the license Optionor revealed multiple long and wide pegmatite dykes that measure up to 30 meters in width and up to 300 meters in length that are largely unexplored. Vatic is planning a work program that could include GPS sample site controls for overburden stripping, mapping, channel sampling and trenching.

ABOUT THE SOLONOPOLE SOUTH LITHIUM PROPERTY

The Solonopole South Property covers historic artisanal mining sites previously mined for lithium, coltan (tantalum and niobium) and tin.

Initial sampling of the Solonopole South Pegmatites returned Spodumene bearing pegmatite samples that graded up to 5.03% Li2O.

Planned Sampling will assay for Rare Earth Elements, Critical Battery Metals as well as lithium.

Ideal project location - Historical lithium mining region in Brazil.

Approximately 4-hour drive on paved roads to port (Fortaleza).

The topography, land use and vegetation at Solonopole is well suited for exploration activities.

Arid, sparsely populated farmland, no rain forest.

Northern Brazil provides easy shipping routes to North American and European battery chemical markets.
