Musk Metals Announces It Has Started Surface Drilling on Its 100% Owned 'Elon' Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada

Vancouver, November 7, 2023 - Musk Metals Corp. (CSE: MUSK) (OTC Pink: EMSKF) (FSE: 1I30) ("Musk Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has started its fifth exploration program for Phase 1, on its 100% owned "Elon" lithium project in Quebec. The survey is using a motorized auger drill to sample the till below the surface sediments. The purpose of the survey is to better define the dispersion of the plume in the till column in three dimensions (3D). The program target soils that are located down-ice from identified magnetic and soil anomalies (see news release dated March 4^th, 2022) that were not explained during the last rock drill phase (see news release dated December 28^th, 2022).

The Program

The program targets identified magnetic and soil anomalies that were not explained by drilling (Figure 1). The till will be drilled using a Big Beaver Auger Drilling Rig equipped with a split spoon sampler. The Company is expected to test approximately 46 holes. Overburden thickness in the area is approximately up to 25m thick, based on overburden measurements from the 2022 drilling campaign. If till is not found or not reached, the field crew will perform a soil assay in the sediment in parallel to the drilling in order to obtain information via a MMI (Mobile Metalic Ion) sample. The hollow core is expected to reach the till material beneath the surficial sediments where it will collect material within the split spoon sampler. The till is planned to be sampled to produce a 1kg for fine material sample. The sampling stations are approximately 40m apart and perpendicular to the glacial flow.

Mountain Bike trails, Cross-Country Ski trails and other trails are present on the southern part of the Property and are expected to be used to place the auger drill. Damage to the trails should be minimal and will be repaired before leaving.

The Property and Adjacent Properties

The Elon Property is strategically located in Abitibi, QC at approximately 600 meters northeast of North American Lithium Project (recently acquired by Sayona Québec) and formerly known as Mine Québec Lithium. North American Lithium produced over 907,000 tons of material at 1.40% Li2O between 1955 and 1965 (Boily et al, 1989). In a June 28th, 2022 news release, Sayona Québec formally approved the restart of North American Lithium (NAL) operation for lithium extraction and spodumene concentrate production. In September 2022 Sayona announced a 200 million dollars contract for the mining operations (September 27^th, 2022 press release). In March 2023, Sayona reported having produced 1200 tons of lithium concentrate from North American Lithium (March 15^th, 2023 news release). In April 2023, Sayona published a definitive feasability study that confirms the NAL value with $2.2B NPV (April 13, 2023 news release).

Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc. (formerly Jourdan Resources) is investigating a pegmatite field approximately 1000m SE of the Elon Property, and has reported lithium content of up to 2.38% Li2O over 0.90m and 1.33% Li2O over 5.25m in pegmatites (June 9th, 2022 and July 7th, 2022 news release); 1.23% over 4.15m (February 15^th, 2023 press release) and over 0.82% over 8.0m (March 21^st, 2023 news release). A 14,500m diamond drill holes campaign was announced on their Vallée Property (September 14^th, 2023 news release).

Corporate Update

The Company intends to settle in aggregate $81,050 in accounts payable through the issuance of 1,621,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share, of which $57,350 is due to related parties. Once issued, the securities are subject to a statutory four-month-and-one-day hold period.
