Arbor Metals Corp. Discovers Pegmatite Dykes at Jarnet Lithium Project, James Bay, Quebec
Vancouver, July 25th, 2022 - Arbor Metals Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV:ABR), (FWB:432) announces the completion of its inaugural prospecting program at its wholly owned Jarnet Lithium project in the St. James Bay region of Quebec. The helicopter-supported program was successful in a corridor containing swarms of previously unmapped, pegmatite dykes in the northern exploration area. Pegmatite dykes are the principal host unit for lithium. Patriot Metals has had significant success drill testing Pegmatite dykes at its Corvette Project, which is adjacent to Arbor's Jarnet project. The dykes identified in the program were up to 20m in width and appeared on surface intermittently in a corridor for 2-3kms. Of particular interest, the pegmatites in the northern exploration area were highly texturized and crosscut by secondary veins, which suggests several generations of recrystallization of minerals. Minerals of interest visually observed included tourmaline, col-tan, green micas, recrystallized feldspars, garnets, and possibly spodumene. In addition, significant molybdenum mineralization was observed. The presence of mineralization must be confirmed through geochemical analysis.
The Company is very pleased with the discovery of these previously unmapped dykes, which are highly altered and mineralized. Ninety rock samples were delivered to ALS Laboratories in Val D'Or Quebec for analysis, with specific testing for spodumene, a lithium-bearing mineral.
*Company management cautions the reader that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to the Company's properties are not necessarily indicative of the presence of similar mineralization on the Company's properties.

Jarnet Lithium Project, located in the James Bay Region of Quebec, which comprises of forty-seven map designated claims, covering an area of approximately 2584 hectares. The Jarnet Project is contiguous to the Corvette-FCI Property, where diamond drilling has confirmed significant lithium mineralization; hole (CF21-001) returned a 146.8 m interval of near continuous pegmatite, assaying 0.93% Li2O and 114 ppm Ta2O5, including1.09% Li2O and 108 ppm Ta2O5 over 73.0 m, and 1.04% Li2O and 145 ppm Ta2O5 over 54.6 m. This interval returned numerous samples over 2.0% Li2O, including a peak assay of 4.16% Li2O and 233 ppm Ta2O5 over 1.01 m. (November 29, 2021)
The Rakounga Gold Project consists of an exploration permit covering a two-hundred-and-fifty square kilometer area located along the Goren Greenstone Belt in central Burkina Faso. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Kruger Gold Corp. ("Kruger"), holds the right to acquire up to a one-hundred percent interest in and to the Project, subject only to pre-existing royalty obligations. Kruger has control over operations conducted on the Project and will look to expand on historical drilling and survey work conducted on the Project.
