Temas Commences Drilling on its 100% Owned La Blache Ti-V-Fe Project in Quebec

Temas Resources Corp. ("Temas" or the "Company") [CSE: TMAS] is pleased to report that it has commenced a helicopter supported diamond drill program at its La Blache Ti-V-Fe project in Quebec. This infill drill program is the next step towards a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). This program is designed to confirm historic drill results and to tighten the spacing with the goal of improved confidence from historic estimates. Temas intends to drill roughly 4000m over 15 holes. To date the company has completed a positive metallurgical study (released July 28, 2022) and market studies that will guide key parameters of the study, which Temas is targeting completion in the first half of 2023. Temas has engaged Magnor Exploration Inc., to manage the drill program and CSA Global Canada Ltd., (now ERM Consultants Canada Ltd.,) to complete the PEA.

Overview

The La Blache Project is comprised of 176 claims and covers 9466.97 hectares. It is located 100 km north of the community of Baie-Comeau, Quebec. The property located within the La Blache Anorthosite Complex and hosts the Farrell-Taylor magnetite-ilmenite lens The La Blache Anorthosite Complex is a roughly ellipsoidal batholith of 35 km by 20 km within intrusive rocks that extends for 100 km by up to 20 km. Contained within the complex are four lenses of titaniferous magnetite lenses occur as tabular bodies which extend over a 17km long arc, located roughly in the centre of the complex, with the mineralization starting at surface and extending to depth. The anorthosites are cut by granite and pegmatite dykes which range in thickness from centimeters to a few metres.

Advantages

TiO₂ technology developed by ORF proved to be 144.8% more cost-efficient than conventional processes. TiO₂ is in demand and price increases in the first 6 months of 2021 from most producers has increased by $400 per ton. Quebec is a very favourable province for mining. Preliminary metallurgical testing using this proprietary technology yielded 90% recovery of Iron and 95% recovery of Vanadium into a final high-purity product. A titanium dioxide (TiO₂) product suitable for further processing to pigment-grade TiO₂ was recovered in the testing completed earlier this year. The Quebec and Federal Governments consider titanium and vanadium strategic minerals.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors

Temas Resource Corp. prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to mineral resources in this news release are defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Council on May 19, 2014, as amended ("CIM Standards"). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC will now recognize estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", which are defined in substantially similar terms to the corresponding CIM Standards. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Standards.

U.S. investors are cautioned that while the foregoing terms are "substantially similar" to corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that Temas may report as "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had Temas Resource Corp. prepared the resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.

In accordance with Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.

NEITHER THE CSE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
