Geo, M.Sc. from SGS Canada Inc., an independent Qualified Person (“QP”) as defined by National Instrument 43-101 guidelines, as the QP for Evolving Gold’s Lithium Lakes Project in Quebec.

Mr. Paiement graduated from Université of Québec in Montréal (2006) with a B.Sc. in Resources Geology and from Laval University (2009) with a M.Sc. in Earth Sciences. Mr. Paiement specializes in ore deposit geology, resource estimation, geostatistics, and structural geology.

Mr. Paiement started working with SGS Canada Inc. as a consulting geologist for exploration and drilling campaigns in 2009. Since then, he has specialized in exploration modeling and targeting, resource estimation, geostatistics, mine audits, and sample selection. Mr. Paiement worked on several technical reports and is considered to be a Qualified Person for numerous commodities such as vein-style Au-Ag deposits, polymetallic base metal deposits, and industrial mineral deposits (REEs, lithium, phosphate, graphite, and iron).

Mr. Paiement is currently supervising the definition drill campaign being performed at Nemaska Lithium Inc.’s Whabouchi Deposit which should upgrade the existing pit constrained inferred resource to measured and indicated categories, as well as adding additional resources outside of the current pit model.

Recently, Mr. Paiement, together with the SGS Geostats team, won the Gold Rush Challenge put forward by Integra Gold, with the objective of finding prospective gold mineralized zones based on the extensive historical data from their Lamaque Project, in Val D’Or, Quebec. The combination of strong scientific based interpretations and machine learning was used to create a dynamic exploration model which was chosen over all other submissions by both an independent technical panel and a jury made of industry titans. The SGS Geostats team was awarded $500,000.

Evolving Gold’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. R. Bruce Duncan stated, “We look forward to working with Mr. Paiement, beginning with the initial exploration phase of the Lithium Lakes Project. Mr. Paiement’s extensive knowledge of the Whabouchi Deposit’s geology will allow us to quickly interpret the geological information obtained from the field.”
