Ultra Lithium Intersects 2.68 Percent Lithium Oxide at The Forgan Lake Lithium Property in Northern Ontario, Canada

Ultra Lithium Intersects 2.68 Percent Lithium Oxide at The Forgan Lake Lithium Property in Northern Ontario, Canada

Ultra Lithium Inc. ( TSX-V:ULT, OTCQB: ULTXF and Frankfurt: QFB ) ("Ultra Lithium" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has received the first batch of drilling results from four diamond drill holes at its 100% owned Forgan Lake Lithium Property in northwestern Ontario, Canada. The drilling was contracted to Diafore Drilling Inc. from Quebec who completed 31 NQ and HQ size core drill holes with a cumulative drilling of 3,635 metres. The results of four drill holes intersected lithium pegmatites of various widths (see Table 1 and 2 for details).

Highlights

  • Drill Hole FL22-19 intersected two pegmatite zones with the upper 7 m wide pegmatite averaging 1.35% lithium oxide (Li2O) at 15.44 m drilled depth, including one meter of 2.68% Li2O and 2 m of 1.89% Li2O. The lower 6.81 m wide pegmatite averaged 0.52% Li2O at 26.44 m drilled depth, including the top one meter of1.08% Li2O.
  • Drill Hole FL22-20 intersected three pegmatites with the upper 11-meter-wide pegmatite averaging 1.1% Li2O at 7.95 m drilled depth. The lower two pegmatites are thinner in widths and lower grade (see Table 1 for details).
  • Drill Hole FL22-21 intersected three lithium pegmatites with the upper four meter wide pegmatite averaging 1.21% Li2O at 8 m drilled depth; the middle eight meter wide pegmatite averaging 1.13% Li2O at 16 m drilled depth; the lower seven meter wide pegmatite averaging 1.04% Li2O at 26 m drilled depth.
  • Drill Hole FL22-22 intersected an 18-meter-wide pegmatite with averaging 0.56% Li2O at 37.22 m drilled depth, including a two-meter-wide zone of 1.38% Li2O at 47.22 m depth.

All intersections reported are based on drilled widths and have not been converted to the true width. The drill core was logged and sampled using a rock saw at Pleson Geoscience core shack located in Nipigon, ON. The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories ("ACTLABS"), Ancaster, Ontario for sample preparation and analyses using laboratories code Ultratrace 7 and sodium peroxide fusion (Na2O2). ACTLABS is an independent commercial, accredited ISO Certified Laboratory. Ultra Lithium is preparing a CIM/NI 43-101 resource estimate based on the 31 drill holes completed in 2022 and 39 historical drill holes on the Property.

Dr. Weiguo Lang, CEO of Ultra Lithium, stated, "The first set of excellent drilling results at the Forgan Lake project have shown near surface high value lithium, which encourages the Company to continue exploring more spodumene bearing pegmatites in the area. The Company is also conducting processing and metallurgical tests with bulk samples from the drilled area."

Afzaal Pirzada, P.Geo., VP Exploration of the Company, and a "Qualified Person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects , has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.

Forgan Lake Project

The Forgan Lake property consists of approximately 256 hectares land in 20 mining claims located in the Thunder Bay Mining District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. It is located adjacent to the north of Ultra Lithium's Lucky Lake claim block comprised of 15 mining claims. The Property has excellent infrastructure support, and the First Nations communities are very cooperative for the economic progress of the region through development of mining resources. Historical work on the Forgan Lake Property was first carried out by Lun-Echo Gold Mines Limited during 1955-61 period. The exploration work included 39 drill holes, aggregating 10,561 feet drilling on the eastern side of Forgan Lake. Lithium mineralization on the Property comprised of six spodumene-bearing lithium pegmatites which are mostly parallel to the metasediments.

Highlights

  • Lithium mineralization is comprised of six spodumene-bearing pegmatites
  • Three 2019 grab samples showed lithium values of 6.93% lithium oxide (Li2O), 6.90% Li2O and 4.88% Li2O
  • Historical exploration in the 1950s' included 39 drill holes, aggregating 10,561 feet
  • Three historical channel cut samples returned average 2.57% Li2O over a width of 21 feet (6.4 m)
  • Two historical channel cut samples averaged 4.23% Li2O over 24.5 feet (7.46m)

Alberta Refinery site purchase option extended to mid-May

Fortune Minerals Limited (TSX: FT) (OTCQB: FTMDF) (" Fortune " or the " Company ") ( www.fortuneminerals.com ) is pleased to announce the successful delivery of ore samples from the NICO cobalt-gold-bismuth-copper deposit (" NICO Deposit ") in the Northwest Territories (" NWT ") to SGS Canada Inc. in Lakefield, Ontario. These ores will be used to conduct additional metallurgical testing and pilot work to validate recent optimizations and support detailed engineering and an updated Feasibility Study for the vertically integrated NICO cobalt-gold-bismuth-copper Critical Minerals project in Canada (" NICO Project "). Intermediate test products produced from NICO Project ores and concentrates will also be blended with metal precipitates sourced from Rio Tinto's Kennecott Smelter in Utah to assess the feasibility of processing these materials to recover additional bismuth and cobalt at Fortune's planned hydrometallurgical refinery in Alberta (" Alberta Refinery "). Successful validation of the Fortune optimizations and processing of Rio Tinto precipitates would increase Critical Mineral production and revenues and reduce waste disposal costs for the planned Alberta Refinery.
