Musk Metals Announces Drilling To Commence on Its 100% Owned "Elon" Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada
Musk Metals Corp. has announced an upcoming eight-hole drill program at its Elon Lithium Project in Quebec, starting in early August 2022. The project is located 600 meters from a previously productive lithium site. The drilling will target magnetic anomalies identified in prior surveys, and Musk Metals aims to complete 1,200 meters of drilling. The CEO expressed excitement over testing high-priority targets, indicating a proactive exploration strategy in a region showing promise for lithium discoveries.
- Planned eight-hole drill program to commence in August 2022.
- Located near historical lithium production site with significant past yields.
- Two high-priority lithium/tantalum targets identified from recent surveys.
- Company's proactive approach to exploration in a promising region.
- Two drill holes await new permit authorization, potentially delaying exploration.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2022 / Musk Metals Corp. ("Musk Metals" or the "Company") (CSE:MUSK)(OTC PINK:EMSKF)(FSE:1I30) is pleased to announce a planned eight-hole drill program to commence on its
Intervention permits were received on May 18th, 2022 for the opening of access trails and exploratory trenches, and the permit will be reused for the drill program. The drilling work will start in early August, targeting magnetic anomalies and possible sources of soil anomalies from recent surveys. Musk Metals has completed ground and airborne surveys as well as sampling and has identified two high priority lithium/tantalum targets in the southwest portion of the Elon Lithium Property,
In March of 2022, Dynamic Discoveries Geosciences was mandated to identify high priority drill targets using a property wide geophysical interpretation along with results from high resolution heliborne magnetic survey flown in December 2021. This interpretation along with assay results allowed the Company to define multiple targets showing potential for lithium discoveries. Possible dykes swarms cross-cutting the interpreted intrusions, concordant with till anomalies which show a context alike the Quebec Lithium Mine located 600m south-west of the Elon Lithium Property (the "Property").
Musk Metals CEO and Director, Nader Vatanchi states, "We have systematically completed multiple geophysical and sampling surveys as well as a full geophysical interpretation of the Elon property and are excited to test our new high priority targets. The upcoming drill program will combine all the data from the previous stages of exploration in this Phase 1 program and complete up to 8 drill holes at Elon. Musk Metals anticipates an active period with multiple exploration and drill programs in close proximity to recent significant discoveries throughout Ontario and Quebec."
The Drill Program
Musk Metals expects to drill 8 holes, each approximately 150 meters deep, for a total 1,200 meters. Six holes (001 to 005 and 008) are located on previously authorized permit, while the last two (006 and 007) are subject to the authorization of a new permit that is being applied for. The holes target magnetic lows, possible sources of soil anomalies or interpreted contact between units (see Table 1). Unexplored targets in the present program will be subject to future exploration work, such as shallow drilling and or further trenching.

| DDH-2022-002 | 292917 | 5367450 | 30 | -45 | 150 | Hole 2is located on the T10 Trench, it aims at a low magnetic corridor emanating from the interpreted intrusion that has been interpreted as a possible dyke swarm |
| DDH-2022-003 | 292993 | 5367160 | 280 | -45 | 150 | Hole 3 aims at a low magnetic corridor emanating from the interpreted intrusion that has been interpreted as a possible dyke swarm |
| DDH-2022-004 | 292920 | 5367010 | 30 | -45 | 150 | Hole 4 aims at the same low magnetic corridor than Hole 3, emanating from the interpreted intrusion that has been interpreted as a possible dyke swarm |
| DDH-2022-005 | 293521 | 5366510 | 30 | -45 | 150 | Hole 5 aims at the E-W low magnetic corridor emanating from the interpreted intrusion |
| DDH-2022-006 | 293537 | 5366390 | 125 | -45 | 150 | Hole 6 aims at the E-W low magnetic corridor emanating from the interpreted intrusion |
| DDH-2022-007 | 293438 | 5366840 | 210 | -45 | 150 | Hole 7 is located in the intrusion. It aim at the possible source of a soil anomaly in the area |
| DDH-2022-008 | 292875 | 5367400 | 210 | -45 | 150 | Hole 8 is located on the trail to the T10 Trench, it aims at a low magnetic corridor emanating from the interpreted intrusion that has been interpreted as a possible dyke swarm |
Mountain Bike trails, Cross-Country Ski trails and other trails are present on the southern part of the Property. To prevent damage to these trails, the Company will be using existing roads outside of the trail system to access their drill pads (Figure 1).

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
Jourdan Resources is investigating a pegmetite field approximately 1000m SE of the Elon Property, has reported lithium content of up to
This might indicate that the general area is fertile in lithium and that the regional environment is more favorable for additional lithium discovery in the future.
