As mentioned in a press release dated October 15, 2021, the Company has completed its previously announced diamond drilling program, with 1,682 meters of drilling completed in October 2021. The Company has now received 100% of the assay results from the program in which every hole showed multiple intersections of spodumene-bearing pegmatites.

The drill program was completed by Les Forages Géo-Nord of Dolbeau-Mistassini, Quebec, under the supervision of Alexandr Beloborodov Géologue Inc. (ABG Exploration) of Laval, Quebec.

The pegmatite dykes appear to become more abundant and wide further northwards and it is Jourdan's intention to expand on historical drillholes during the next campaign. In the meantime, Jourdan is actively applying for permits for the next drill campaign expected to commence in the 1 st quarter of 2022. This campaign aims at enlarging the strike extent of the multiple spodumene-bearing pegmatites on the flagship Vallée project.

Jourdan's Chief Executive Officer, Rene Bharti, commented, "We are once again encouraged by the positive drill results we are receiving from the lab. The goal at Jourdan has been, and will continue to be, to keep actively drilling across all zones of our properties, and to define a resource for the Company. With lithium prices at all-time highs, Jourdan intends to continue working towards its ambition of becoming Quebec's next lithium producer."

"We are very encouraged by the achieved results in grade but also the abundance of individual spodumene-bearing pegmatites," said Dr. Andy Rompel, Executive Chairman of Jourdan, "and we are looking forward to enlarging the strike extent and therefore the anticipated deposit size during the next drilling campaign on our Vallée property northwards and eastwards."

All samples have been sent to Impact Global Solutions Inc. Laboratory in Delson, Québec (" IGS ") for analysis by sodium peroxide fusion and ICP finish. This laboratory is recognized by the industry and accredited ISO/MEC 17025 by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to the quality assurance and quality control (" QA/QC ") employed by IGS, Jourdan developed a rigorous QA/QC protocol for its operators, including the insertion of analytical standard samples, duplicates and coarse silica blanks on a systematic basis.
