Enertopia Files for Permit with BLM for Phase One Drilling

Enertopia Corporation (ENRT) on the OTCQB and (TOP) on the CSE (the “Company” or “Enertopia”) (CNSX:TOP) is pleased to announce it has initiated an application to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Nevada, for an area of disturbance permit to allow the Company access for a series of diamond drill holes on the Company’s Lithium project in Clayton Valley, Nevada. The diamond drill program will consist of 4 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 1,500 feet. These 4 drill holes will allow the Company to provide an inaugural 43-101 project-wide lithium resource.

A fifth diamond drill hole was drilled to an estimated depth of 400 feet, with the recovered lithium enriched material being used for metallurgical and pH solution testing. The Company will undertake systematic and thorough solution testing of the drilled lithium enriched horizons. This will enable the Company to map the subsurface horizons as per oxide, and reduce horizons to further differentiate the grade of Lithium in the solution that can potentially be recovered in a low CAPEX with low-cost extraction methods. The company continues to move forward with respect to recovering lithium from its synthetic brine solutions.

Further information on the proposed drilling program can be accessed on our corporate website enertopia.com by clicking on Corporate Presentation on the home page.

“We look forward to providing detailed updates as we move forward with respect to testing and drilling results,” stated President and CEO Robert McAllister.
