Jourdan Provides Corporate Update

Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSXV: JOR) (" Jourdan " or the " Company ") is pleased to provide the following corporate update on its recent activities. Jourdan has initiated several activities in the field at its properties in Val d'Or, Quebec and at Process Research Ortech Inc., a materials testing laboratory in Mississauga, Ontario (" Ortech "). Jourdan is currently planning geophysical surveys at its Pressiac-LaCorne property located in Quebec, consisting of a magnetic and a scintillometer survey with the intent of detecting the western extension of the Li-bearing pegmatite swarm known from the North American Lithium mine and from the Company's Vallée Lithium Project. The surveys are scheduled to commence later in April 2021 after the snowmelt.

Furthermore, 47 samples were taken from the various bags of the bulk sample which are located at Ortech. These samples were sent for assay testing to allow for a more accurate grade estimation of the bulk sample taken from the Vallée Lithium Project to the east of the North American Lithium mine.

In March 2021, the Company exercised an option (the " Option ") to acquire a property known as the La Corne lithium property, which is adjacent to Jourdan's other lithium mining properties located north of Val d'Or, Quebec. For more information about the Option, please see the Company's press release dated March 25, 2021, which is available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Jourdan is also pleased to announce that it recently received notice from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (Quebec) that the area of land subject to four of its claims located at the southeast corner of its Baillargé lithium property has been extended by application of law.

The Company also announces today that it has entered into a settlement agreement effective April 5, 2021 (" Settlement Agreement ") with Infinite Ore Corp. (" Infinite ") in connection with an option agreement dated April 17, 2017, as amended on June 1, 2020 (together, the " Option Agreement "). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Infinite granted an option to Jourdan (the " Option ") to acquire a 100% interest in Infinite's 145 claim Preissac-Lacorne lithium portfolio (the " Portfolio "). Please see the Company's press releases dated May 9, 2017, May 16, 2017 and June 3, 2020 for more information about the Option, which are available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com .

Shortly following Jourdan's decision to exercise the Option, the Company learned that all of the claims comprising the Portfolio (the " Claims ") had expired and had since been re-staked by a third party. The Company conducted an internal investigation and discovered that, as a result of insufficient funding, Jourdan's prior management had failed to maintain the claims in good standing. Consequently, the Company and Infinite commenced discussions with a view to settling any issues between the parties in relation to the lapsed Claims.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Infinite and Jourdan agreed to a mutual release of claims and to settle any and all issues between the parties relating to the Option Agreement in exchange for the Company issuing to Infinite 4.5 million of its common shares (the " Common Shares ") at a deemed price of $0.06 per share, based on the closing price of the shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (" TSXV ") on April 9, 2021 (the " Settlement ").

The Settlement remains subject to the approval of the TSXV. In accordance with applicable securities laws, the Common Shares issued pursuant to the Settlement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period.

Overview

For electric vehicle battery and power production, market researchers predict global lithium demand to more than double, from 47,300 tonnes in 2020 to 117,400 tonnes in 2024. As the West searches for more mineralization to supply the growing demand, companies mining for minerals like lithium and copper can expect to play an integral part in minimizing environmental impact, transportation costs and carving a place in the future of green energy.

Echoing this growing demand, Canada revealed its critical minerals list in March 2021, which included lithium among the 31 minerals deemed vital to the Canadian economy. The critical status of lithium coupled with growing demand strategically positions Jourdan Resources (TSXV:JOR) as a company moving towards focus areas in future Canadian mining policy and investments.

Lithium Market Update: Q1 2024 in Review

Lithium prices remained subdued at the beginning of 2024, still well below highs set in late 2022 and 2023. Several factors, including oversupply and weak electric vehicle (EV) demand, united to keep prices muted over the 90 day period.

Despite a market glut keeping prices down, Fastmarkets is forecasting that lithium supply will increase by 30 percent by year’s end. However, lithium analysts did note that the current price environment could disrupt this fresh supply, as some producers may choose to reduce production or delay expansions.

“Furthermore, whilst Chinese production seems less prone to suffering delays — as seen with the ramp-up of domestic lepidolite and African spodumene projects, in most cases we expect new capacity to experience some start-up delays, contributing to supply-side risk,” a Januaryreport from the firm reads.

Market oversupply prompted some lithium producers to trim 2024 output targets in hopes that some of the excess would be absorbed in the market.

Spending for project expansions and new developments was also put on the back burner to allow the market to rebalance.
