About the PAK Rare Metals Project

The Pakeagama Lake
pegmatite currently has a strike length of approximately 200m with a
width up to 150m at surface with mineralization that is open in all
directions. In September 2012, Peter J. Vanstone, P.Geo. the qualified
person for the project, conducted a 91 sample channel sampling program
on the exposed Pakeagama Lake pegmatite in order to confirm historical
results and to add additional channel samples while further sampling by
distinct geologic zones. The results of the program have so far
identified high grade lithium up to 4.74% Li₂O over 15 meters
in three distinct pegmatite zones, and high grade tantalum up to 192ppm
Ta₂O₅ over 14 meters in one of these zones. A
diamond drill program has been independently recommended and on March 1,
2013, the Company announced that a Phase I, 6 hole, 1,000 meter drill
program commenced.
