Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc. announced that the summer exploration field activities have been completed at the Company?s 100% owned Baillargé Lithium Project, located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt approximately 21 km northwest of Val-d?Or, Quebec. The summer exploration program consisted of three key but separate components: a 29 hole, 4,747 m diamond drilling program; an outcrop stripping and sampling program; and a soil sampling program covering the area between the Baillargé Est Showing and the Chubb showing, which is located 1.2 km southeast and along strike of the area covered by the summer drilling program. A total of 4,747 m of diamond drilling was completed with 29 holes testing the three previously known dykes of the Baillargé Est Showing, located just south of Lac Baillargé within the northern half of CLM?s Baillargé Property.

All 29 holes encountered lithium-bearing pegmatites and extended the known strike lengths of all three previously known pegmatites. Drilling and outcrop stripping also led to the discovery of a new pegmatite dyke system, Dyke 5, which is located between Dyke 3 and Dyke 7 located under the BE Soil anomaly defined during the Company?s 2022 soil sampling program. Samples have been collected from all the lithium-bearing pegmatites intersected and have been submitted for analysis at SGS Laboratories, a company independent from CLM.

The Company anticipates receiving the first assay results from the samples collected in the next few weeks. Dyke 7 has now been defined over a strike length of 354 m and to a vertical depth of 130 m. Dyke 3 has been defined over a strike length of 330 m and to a depth of 120 m. Dyke 1 has a current strike length of 280 m and has been defined to a depth of 100 m. Dyke 5 has a 175 m strike length and has been defined to a depth of 50 m, totaling 1,139m strike length for all drill-tested pegmatites. All four dykes remain open for expansion in both directions along strike and at depth.

Dyke widths in individual holes range from tens of centimeters to over 5 m in true thickness. Zoning of spodumene mineralization within the dykes has been observed, consistent with observations made during the 2022 and 2023 outcrop stripping programs. The 2023 exploration program has confirmed the strike direction of the four dykes and that they trend in the direction of the Chubb showing, located approximately 1.2 km southeast of the Baillargé Est area. The Chubb showing is located immediately adjacent to the eastern property boundary and trends onto the Company?s property.

The area between Baillargé Est and the Chubb showing has never been drill tested and is considered by the Company to be a high-priority target for future exploration. The Company completed its Phase II outcrop stripping program to expand the known surface strike extent of the three identified spodumene-bearing pegmatite dyke systems that comprise the Baillargé Est occurrence. CLM undertook Phase I of the outcrop stripping program during the fall of 2022.

In addition to extending the length of the three known dykes, a new pegmatite dyke was discovered early in the stripping program. The newly discovered Dyke 5 pegmatite was located by stripping the area directly underneath a lithium-in-soil anomaly detected during the 2022 soil sampling program. Lithium bearing minerals including spodumene and lithium-bearing micas were observed in the pegmatites in the newly stripped areas and in Dyke 5. CLM conducted channel sampling of the newly stripped areas of Dykes 3 and 7, as well as along the newly exposed portion of Dyke 5. All four dykes remain open along strike to the north-northwest and south-southeast and at depth.

In addition to the discovery of Dyke 5, the newly stripped area of Dyke 3 northwest of the 2022 stripped area yielded a previously unknown portion of the pegmatite that contained highly visible concentrations of lithium- bearing mica and spodumene located only 25 m from the northern end of the 2022 stripped area. Channel sampling was completed on all new stripped areas and the samples have been submitted for geochemical analysis at SGS Laboratories. The Company anticipates receiving the results of these analyses in the coming weeks.

The 2023 drilling and outcrop stripping programs have confirmed that the Baillargé Est pegmatites strike southeast towards the Chubb showing, located immediately east of the east property boundary. From various Quebec assessment reports and public disclosures by the Chubb showing owner Burley Resources, the Chubb pegmatites strike northwest in the direction towards the Baillargé Est showing. The 1.2 km long area between the Baillargé Est and Chubb showing is located on the Company?s property and has never been explored.

A 248 ppm single sample lithium-in-soil anomaly was detected during the 2022 soil sampling program within the 400 x 200 m grid area along the east property boundary adjacent to the Chubb showing. CLM has completed a 50 x 50 m spaced infill soil sampling program to follow up this 248 ppm Li anomaly covering the area between the Baillargé Est and Chubb showing to define future drilling targets in the highly prospective Baillargé Lithium Corridor. A total of approximately 300 samples were collected for analysis.

CLM has elected to analyze the 2023 soil sampling program using the handheld LIBS Analyzer. The Company has been working with the manufacturer of the LIBS Analyzer, SciAps Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts, to develop a soil algorithm for use in lithium exploration using technology. The company anticipates that the development of a LIBS soil algorithm will allow the Company to quickly, efficiently and cost effectively detect lithium-in-soil anomalies in other unexplored areas of CLM?s property portfolio.

Approximately 10% of the samples will be analyzed using conventional geochemical analysis as a Quality Assurance/Quality Control check on this new application of the LIBS system. Results from the soil sampling program is anticipated to be received in the next few weeks. Drilling contractor, Les Forages Géo-Nord has drilled at Baillargé Est project.

Géo-Nord is employing local drillers from the town of Val-d?Or, Quebec. Géo-Nord was the contractor for the 2021 drilling campaign at Vallee Lithium. Géo-Nord familiarity within the local community and Project site, uniquely provides local knowledge of the Health, Safety, Environmental and Community expectations required to execute the drilling contract.

The geochemical soil sampling program was designed and sampled by ABG EXPLORATION technical team based at Amos, Quebec. Their technical team is supervised by a team of 7 OGQ compliant P.Geo. including MSc and 2 PhD geochemist/geostatistician and a structural geologist.
