- Infinity Stone Ventures Corp. (CSE: GEMS) (OTC: GEMSF) (FSE: B2I) (the " Company " or " Infinity Stone "), is pleased to announce that it has optioned the 38,441-hectare Sugar Loaf and Little Dipper Lithium Projects (the " Sugar Loaf Project " and " Little Dipper Project ", respectively; collectively, the " Projects "). The Sugar Loaf Project is located 15 kilometres from both Sigma Lithium Resources' (" Sigma Lithium ") Grota do Cirilo Project and Lithium Ionic Inc's (" Lithium Ionic ") Itinga Project in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil . The Little Dipper Project is located in the state of Ceará, approximately 10 kilometres from Oceana Lithium Ltd.'s ( "Oceana ") Solonopole Lithium Project. The Sugar Loaf Project comprises 13 exploration permits, while the Little Dipper Project comprises 9 exploration permits. (Figures 1 & 2) .

The Sugar Loaf and Little Dipper Projects were optioned on the basis of perceived geological potential from known mineralized trends. Both Minas Gerais and Ceará have become regions of interest for hard rock lithium exploration, with a number of early and later stage exploration companies active in the region, as well as companies much closer to production such as Sigma Lithium. Brazil has been recognized as one of the world's major high-grade lithium producers. For example, LG Energy Solutions (" LG ") recently secured a 6-year offtake agreement with Sigma's subsidiary Brazilian Sigma Mineração SA.   ^[1] LG is a battery supplier to multiple EV companies, including Tesla Inc. ^[2]

Sigma's properties are located in the municipalities of Araçuaí and Itinga, in Brazil's mining-friendly Minas Gerais State, approximately 450 kilometres northeast of the state capital of Belo Horizonte . Sigma holds 27 mineral rights in four properties spread over 191 square kilometres (19,100 hectares), which include nine past-producing lithium mines.

Infinity Stone intends to conduct a satellite imagery-based spectral analysis to determine areas of interest for targeted exploration. Following this, the Company intends to mobilise an exploration team immediately to the Projects to conduct initial groundwork, including grab and channel sampling, trenching, and mapping. There will be a focus on identifying pegmatites across the claim blocks that have the potential for lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) mineralization.

  The Company notes that mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby and/or geologically similar properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company's properties.  

  Option Terms  

Pursuant to an option agreement (the " Option Agreement ") dated February 2, 2023 between the Company and Talisman Venture Partners Ltd. (" Talisman "), the Company has been granted an option to acquire the Projects upon: (i) payment of $50,000 on execution (paid), $100,000 within 30 days of execution and $150,000 within 180 days of execution; and  (ii) issuance of 4,000,000 class A subordinate voting shares ("Shares") of the Company within 30 days of execution and 4,000,000 Shares within 180 days of execution. Upon the Company earning in under the Option Agreement, Talisman will retain a 1% net smelter royalty (NSR) over the Projects, half of which may be repurchased by the Company for $1,000,000 within 90 days of the public filing of a bankable feasibility study respecting the Projects.

  Stock Option Issuance & Marketing Engagement
