Musk Metals Acquires 100% Interest in the Allison Lake East Lithium Claims

Rhea-AI Summary

Musk Metals Corp. has entered a property purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Allison Lake East Lithium claims in Ontario. This acquisition adds a third project to Musk's lithium portfolio, spanning over 1,500 hectares and located near the McCombe Lithium Deposit, which has an unclassified resource of 2.08 Mt averaging 1.3% Li₂O. The terms include a payment of $10,000 and issuing 1,500,000 common shares. The acquisition is strategic, placing Musk within a recognized lithium district following recent large land acquisitions by Green Technology Metals.

Positive

• Acquisition of Allison Lake East Lithium claims enhances Musk's portfolio.
• Property spans over 1,500 hectares in a recognized lithium district.
• Potential for high-grade lithium with proximity to McCombe Lithium Deposit.

Negative

• None.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 1, 2022 / Musk Metals Corp. ("Musk Metals") ("Musk" or the "Company") (CSE:MUSK)(OTC PINK:EMSKF)(FSE:1I30) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a property purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the highly prospective Allison Lake East Lithium claims, located in northwestern Ontario. The claims are situated within the recently mapped Allison Lake Batholith LCT Goldilocks zone that is a 5 km wide corridor containing spodumene-bearing pegmatites, spessartine-bearing pegmatites, rare-metal earth occurrences.

Musk's third lithium project, the Allison Lake East claims span over 1,500 hectares in close proximity to multiple mapped pegmatites, situated 45 km northwest of the McCombe Lithium Deposit with an unclassified and non-compliant resource of 2.08 Mt averaging 1.3% Li₂O (MDI 52J13NE00004). The McCombe Lithium Deposit has recently been optioned by Green Technology Metals (GT1) as part of their Root-Seymour lithium asset which totals 12,022 hectares in the southeastern portion of the Allison Lake Batholith. Green Metals Technology has also acquired 6,968 additional hectares in their Allison Lithium Project asset which lies contiguous to Musk's land package.

Musk Metals CEO and Director, Nader Vatanchi states, "We have added a third highly prospective lithium project to our active portfolio of Canadian lithium and battery metals assets. The Allison Lake East claims are situated in what has quickly become a recognized lithium and rare-earth metals district following large land acquisitions by Green Technology Metals. Recent field work by GT1 has provided evidence that the Allison Lake Batholith is living up to its expectations as one of the largest fertile peraluminous multiphase intrusion in northwestern Ontario and may be highly prospective for LCT-type pegmatites. Musk is currently planning a 2022 work program to establish high priority targets and sampling for pegmatite occurrences."

About Musk's Allison Lake East Property

The 2003 Ontario Geological Survey ("Breaks") report described the Allison Lake batholith as the largest known peraluminous granitic body in northwestern Ontario. Breaks concluded that, "the Allison Lake batholith represents an important new exploration target for rare-element mineralization and is the largest such granite thus far documented in Ontario. This area has high potential for further discoveries of rare-element mineralization that occur in exocontact, metasedimentary-hosted pegmatites or as internal pegmatites within the parent granite". The Root Bay pluton which is host to the McCombe lithium deposit of 2.08 Mt @ 1.3% Li₂O (OGS OFR 6160) and is also an S-type peraluminous granite which appears genetically linked to the Allison Lake batholith (Breaks et al., 2003, OFR 6099).

Recent fieldwork by GT1 prospectors has outlined what is termed the LCT Goldilocks Fractionation Zone (LCT GFZ)(LCT=lithium-cesium-tantalum). The LCT GFZ represents a 5 km wide corridor that contains spodumene-bearing pegmatites, spessartine-bearing pegmatites, rare-metal earth occurrences and fractionation mineral occurrences (Figure 2). This supports the evidence that the outer edge of the Allison Lake Batholith contains a high degree of fractionation and provides the best potential for the discovery of additional lithium and rare metal bearing pegmatites (Strategic Lithium Footprint Substantially Expanded (iguana2.com). The Allison Lake East Property is well positioned within the LCT GFZ corridor (Figure 1).

Musk's Allison Lake East claim block consists of four contiguous mining claims (75 cell units) covering approximately 1,520 hectares and is easily accessible via logging roads from the community of Ear Falls (see Figure 2).
