COMET LITHIUM TO COMMENCE FIELD PROGRAM AT TROILUS EAST

COMET LITHIUM TO COMMENCE FIELD PROGRAM AT TROILUS EAST

Comet Lithium Corporation (TSXV: CLIC) ( FRANKFURT : 8QY) (" Comet Lithium" or the "Company" ) is pleased to announce that it will be commencing a lithium focused exploration program at the 100% owned Troilus East property, located in Eeyou-Istchee Baie James, Québec. The past exploration program completed at Troilus did not take lithium into consideration but it succeeded in identifying lithium anomalies. The new work program will target these areas for pegmatite prospecting.

The Troilus property was initially explored in 2020 for gold and copper, however, upon review of the database and results obtained from the program, five high priority target areas were identified for Lithium potential. More importantly, all five targets follow a northeast alignment along the south-eastern flank of the Parker granite intrusion over a strike length of about 20 kilometres. Further, the targets generated from the historical results are based on a collection of samples that carried lithium values up to 248 ppm.

Mansoor Jan , Interim President and CEO of Comet Lithium states, "While Liberty is the flagship property for Comet, we have decided that a small program at Troilus East is also worth advancing, as it is strategically located in an emerging lithium belt which has already stimulated the interest of major players such as Sayona Mining. We believe that we have a head start with Troilus East considering our previous exploration on the property with initial work highlighting the presence of lithium in the background rocks. In addition, the property is adjoining the Troilus Gold copper-gold deposit and can benefit from an accessibility standpoint."

TROILUS EAST LITHIUM HIGHLIGHTS:

  1. The Troilus East property has never been explored for lithium despite being located proximate to strike and inside the same geological units as the lithium bearing pegmatites of Lac Moblan located about 50 kilometres south of the property.

  2. Geological mapping at Troilus East shows granitic dykes and occasional pegmatite veins intruded in mafic rocks. This context is well known to host spodumene bearing pegmatites, the main lithium carrier in the James Bay area.

  3. 95 samples among 475 surface samples across the Troilus East property, are anomalous in lithium above 30 ppm and up to 248 ppm . By comparison, the same range of lithium grade was found inside 300 metres from the Moblan pegmatite system (Ref: Schmitt L., 2009. Rapport d'exploration 2009, propriété Moblan (1331), SNRC 32J10, canton 1222 secteur de Frotet. GM-64838, secteur de Frotet).

  4. They are mostly composed of basalt with quartz veinlets. This initial prospecting was oriented toward gold-copper and did not consider pegmatites as prospective targets; meaning no pegmatites observed in 2020 were sampled.

  5. The five lithium target areas have been identified based on clusters of lithium values. Two of them are located inside the Parker granite, while two others are located close to lenticular granitic intrusion-hosted mafic terrains.

  6. Elements such as scandium (Sc, up to 964 ppm), tin (Sn, up to 1,100 ppm) and tungsten (W, up to 100 ppm) are present in the environment of some of the targets, showing the potential influence of a large, possibly zoned magmatic system.

TROILUS EAST LITHIUM TARGETS:

The systematic exploration approach focusing on the predetermined targets will allow Comet Lithium to gain a better grasp on the vast lithium potential that exists on the property. This program will become the basis to establish a larger more in-depth lithium exploration program during 2024.

Five separate target areas identified to date follow a northeast alignment along the eastern flank of the Parker intrusion over a strike length of approximately 20 kilometres.

As part of this field program a maximum number of samples will be collected for lab analysis across all five targets. In addition, field crew will do a comprehensive mapping and measurement of the visible pegmatites and include channel sampling where necessary.

COMET LITHIUM COMMENCES GRAVITY SURVEY AT LIBERTY

COMET LITHIUM COMMENCES GRAVITY SURVEY AT LIBERTY

Comet Lithium Corporation (TSXV: CLIC) ( FRANKFURT : 8QY) ("Comet Lithium" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the commencement of a ground geophysical gravity survey at its 100%-owned Liberty Property in James Bay Québec, Canada . The exploration crew is in place to complete the gravity survey by mid November. Insights generated from the gravity survey will assist the upcoming drill program by generating strategic exploration targets. The gravity survey will optimize pegmatite drill targets across Liberty for phase one. This survey will complement the recently completed field and soil sample program.

Figure 1: Planned 2023 Liberty ground gravity survey (CNW Group/Comet Lithium Corp.)

GRAVITY SURVEY APPROACH:

The ground gravity survey will be carried out by Val-d'Or , Québec based Géophysique TMC using a Scintrex CG-6. The gravity survey will cover approximately 1.7 km 2 following a 20m x 100m grid pattern for a total of 778 stations. This gravity survey is exploratory and aims to delimit the extents of the Winsome Resources Adina pegmatite trend to the east inside the Liberty Property. Comet Lithium will use the data from the gravity survey to better interpret the subsurface geology and structures of the Liberty Property, and detect potential pegmatite contacts in amphibolitized basalt.

Mr. Mansoor Jan , Comet Lithium Interim President & CEO, commented: "The gravity data will greatly assist Comet Lithium's technical team with completing drill targets for the inaugural drill program to validate the Adina trendline at Liberty. This gravity survey adds another building block to refine the targets and may further validate the evidence that Liberty and Adina together may potentially be part of a similar corridor".

Comet Lithium has engaged a Perth -based consultancy to assist in the interpretation of data from the gravity survey and drill target generation, as well as provide on-going technical guidance.

The Company also wishes to draw attention to Azimut Exploration Inc.'s recent Lithium discovery, where they reported significant intercepts of spodumene pegmatites from the maiden core drilling program on the Galinée Property which is on trend and very close to Comet's Liberty Property.

From Azimut's October 23, 2023 : "All drill holes carried out so far intersect spodumene pegmatites, currently recognized over a distance of 400 metres laterally. Intercepts of up to 78.4 metres in core length were observed in the first four (4) holes totalling 1,252.8 metres. Additional, prospecting results from a mineralized boulder field in the same area (see press release of September 6, 2023 ) have yielded grades up to 4.09% Li2O."
