AuQ Gold Mining Inc. announced that it has faced serious disruptions (due to both forest fires and supply chain disruptions arising from commandeering of helicopters and other technical support by local firefighters) to access its Quebec minerals projects. Accordingly, management of the Company has been seeking other opportunities to complete its flow through expenditures commitment. In furtherance of that effort, the Company has agreed to earn a 50% interest in the Nabikok Lithium Exploration Project held by True North Gems Inc, by expending a total of $600,000 over three years, of which $100,000 must be spent in the first year.

The Company has organized a crew to get on the property next week, in order to expedite its flow through expenditure commitment. The Nabikok Pegmatite Project is an early-stage lithium-bearing spodumene pegmatite prospect comprised of 155 exploration claims, having a total area of 8,897 hectares, in the eastern region of the Abitibi Belt, Quebec Canada. The Project is located 47 km southwest of Val d'Or and 67 kilometres southeast of Cadillac, PQ.

The Nabikok claim group is centred in UTM Zone 18 at coordinates 277,395 meters East and 5,286,290 meters North, at 330 masl.
