CORPORATE ACTIVITIES

MINERAL EXPLORATION PROJECTS

In June, 2023, the Company reported that a significant new lithium discovery had occurred on mineral claims immediately adjacent and tied on to the west boundary of Peloton's Texas Canyon Project ("Texas Canyon") by Surge Battery Metals ("Surge"). In addition, CAT Strategic Metals ("CAT"), that is tied onto the eastern boundary of Texas Canyon, has also recently reported lithium potential. Both companies surround Texas Canyon with mineral claims, and both are reporting plans for drilling programs this summer.

The company has subsequently reported that potentially lithium bearing hectorite had been identified over an extensive area at Texas Canyon and on the Company's Golden Trail property about 6 kilometers east.

Hectorite and illite clays are the predominant lithium bearing minerals at Thacker Pass within the McDermitt Caldera in western Nevada which is the largest known measured and indicated lithium resource in the United States. The Texas Canyon property similarly sits on part of the margin of an ancient caldera of similar age to the McDermitt Caldera.

The hectorite and illite clays were identified by re-processing hyperspectral data the Company held from an airborne regional hyperspectral survey it conducted in 2016, covering 100 square kilometers including the Texas Canyon and Golden Trail properties. The hyperspectral data was re-processed by SpecTIR, Reno, NV, to search for hectorite SWIR (short wave infrared) absorption features using several different hectorite SWIR standards.

Texas Canyon hosts several breccia bodies along the margin of a graben/caldera structure. High grade uranium was mined in the 1950's from one of these breccia bodies, with historic grades reported at 1% uranium and samples running up to 7% uranium. Peloton's own sampling of the waste dump has returned samples up to 1% uranium as well as up to 1660 ppm molybdenum and up to 1280 ppb gold.

Peloton suggests that the adjacent lithium mineralization, and Texas Canyon's uranium mineralization are likely cogenetic within the margin of the caldera, and the caldera may have played a significant role as the source of the lithium or other mineralization within the nearby area.

Also, subsequent to the second quarter, the Company announced retaining IBK Capital to raise lithium exploration capital, and that the Company had reached an agreement with the original vendors of the Boulder Copper Porphyry Property, Montana (the "Boulder Porphyry") to cancel the requirement for cash payments to be made over three years totalling US$600,000, which was part of the original acquisition terms. The Boulder Porphyry is held 100% by Celerity and as part of this agreement, Peloton's interest in Celerity will be about 18% with no further cash payments or other obligations to be made.
