Jourdan Announces Expanded Drilling Program Following Successful Intersections of Li Pegmatite

Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSXV: JOR; OTCQB: JORFF) (" Jourdan " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has expanded its winter 2022 drilling campaign after all of its first eight drillholes intersected the newly identified spodumene-bearing pegmatite swarm on its Vallée property. For more information on Jourdan's drill program, please see the Company's press release dated March 7, 2022, which is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com

Jourdan has expanded its drilling campaign by adding another already permitted line of eight drillholes of 200m each for a total of an additional 1,600m to the 1,608m already completed in 2022, extending the lines 3, 4 and 5 to the north, south, and east (see Fig. 1).

*Please see the Company's press release dated March 7, 2022, for information about Jourdan's other four drillholes, being VAL22-2-6, VAL22-2-7, VAL22-3-6, and VAL22-4-6.

The Company's 3,200m diamond drilling program is intended to follow up on the results of a bulk sample collected in 2018 and the fence line drilled in 2011 and 2021 along the western side of the Company's Vallée property, which borders the North American Lithium mine. This drilling campaign is roughly laid out on a 100m x 100m grid and aims at completing the northern extension of the drilled fence line previously started during Q3 2021. The drill program is anticipated to substantially extend the known deposit at the Company's Vallée property eastwards. Since February 2022, 16 holes of approximately 200m depth each are now being drilled aiming at the pegmatite swarm identified by the trenching of the bulk sample collected on the Vallée property in 2018. The assay results from the bulk sample revealed high Li ₂ O grades (for more information, please see the Company's press release dated April 29, 2021, which is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com), which have encouraged the Company to continue exploration and exploratory drilling along the strike and depth extents of its Vallée property.

Jourdan is significantly enlarging its database by adding more drillholes since the start of the exploration work in 2011. The 2011 drilling comprised 21 drillholes (4,256m), the 2021 campaign consisted of eight drillholes (1,680m) and with the planned 3,208m round of drilling in 2022, Jourdan is on track to having more than 9,200m (45) of core that the Company intends to use in the future to establish a preliminary mineral resource estimate.

Rene Bharti, CEO of Jourdan, stated, "These new intersections are extremely important for the success of Jourdan. They show that the size of our deposit is potentially much larger than we initially hoped, as we continue to find new mineralization in new zones we explore. Indeed, with a substantial amount of flow-through cash to work with, we believe a more aggressive drill program will ultimately lead us to the preliminary mineral resource estimate that we have been working towards."

Jourdan's Executive Chairman, Dr. Andreas Rompel, stated, "The known size and strike of the various pegmatites on our properties keeps growing the more we drill, and this last thick intersection deeply encourages us to continue drilling the northerly and easterly extent of the Li-bearing pegmatite swarm, in particular the newly discovered thick vein which is not exposed in the neighbouring mine. This pegmatite represents a significant addition to the known deposit size."

Cautionary statements

The content and grades of any mineral deposits at the Company's properties are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on the property and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in any target being delineated as a mineral resource.
