Our project’s proximity to infrastructure and general accessibility makes this project a stand-out from many lithium assets in Canada. The funds raised in this financing will allow us to expand and accelerate our exploration activities with additional drilling, sampling, and prospecting planned over the next two years. The Jackpot Main Zone remains open with significant expansion potential and a number of drill-ready lithium showings have been identified. In addition, the broader property package contains numerous granitic pegmatites that will also be tested in this program. An exploration program of this size can truly unveil the potential at Jackpot.”
