About Grid Metals Corp.
Grid Metals Corp. (OTCQB: MSMGF) is a Canadian mining exploration and development company strategically focused on critical minerals vital to the global energy transition and technology sectors. Operating in the geologically rich Bird River Greenstone Belt in southeastern Manitoba, Canada, Grid Metals manages an extensive portfolio of resource-stage and exploration-stage projects targeting lithium, nickel, copper, cobalt, cesium, and platinum group metals (PGMs).
Key Projects and Operations
Grid Metals' flagship projects include:
- Donner Lake Lithium Project: A 75%-owned lithium-focused property with advanced-stage exploration activities. The project benefits from proximity to the True North mill under a lease agreement, enabling potential spodumene concentrate production.
- Makwa Nickel Project: A nickel-dominant deposit with significant palladium, platinum, and copper credits. The project is subject to a joint venture agreement with Teck Resources Limited, which aims to explore high-grade magmatic sulfide deposits.
- Mayville Copper-Nickel Project: A copper-rich deposit with a resource-stage profile. The project is located adjacent to Donner Lake, providing synergies in infrastructure and permitting activities.
- Falcon West Lithium and Cesium Project: An exploration-stage property with high-grade cesium and lithium mineralization, offering significant upside potential for critical metals.
Grid Metals leverages its expertise in exploration and resource development to advance these projects while maintaining strong relationships with local communities, including the Sagkeeng First Nation, under exploration agreements.
Strategic Partnerships and Industry Position
Grid Metals has established strategic collaborations to accelerate project development and reduce operational risks. A notable partnership includes an option agreement with Teck Resources Limited to explore the Makwa Nickel Project, providing up to CAD$15.7 million in funding. Additionally, the company has signed a cesium supply agreement with Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada Limited (Tanco), granting access to the only cesium processing facility in the western world.
Competitive Advantages
Grid Metals differentiates itself through:
- Diverse Portfolio: A focus on multiple critical minerals, including lithium, nickel, and cesium, positions the company to meet growing demand in energy storage, electric vehicles, and advanced technologies.
- Infrastructure Access: Proximity to existing infrastructure, including the True North mill and major transportation networks, enhances project economics and operational efficiency.
- Strategic Location: Operating in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction with a stable regulatory environment and access to skilled labor.

Commitment to Critical Metals
Grid Metals plays a pivotal role in the supply chain for critical minerals, addressing the increasing demand for sustainable and domestically sourced materials. Its projects align with global trends in electrification, renewable energy, and decarbonization, making the company a key player in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Grid Metals announced the appointment of Constantine Karayannopoulos to their Board of Directors, replacing Edward Munden. Karayannopoulos has a successful track record, including leadership roles at Neo Material Technologies and Neo Lithium Corp., which were acquired for C$1.3 billion and C$960 million, respectively. He currently advises several companies in the rare earth and critical minerals industry and holds degrees in Chemical Engineering. Robin Dunbar, CEO, expressed confidence in Karayannopoulos' ability to advance Grid's critical mineral projects in Manitoba.
Grid Metals Corp. announces an Indicated Open-Pit Mineral Resource of 46.2 million tonnes at its MM Copper/Nickel Project in Manitoba. The resource estimate includes two separate deposits, with significant copper, nickel, and palladium, platinum, and gold content. The Company plans to fund resource expansion and development through marketing of nickel and copper offtake rights. The Project aims for over 80 million tonnes of open pit resources and has high potential targets for drilling. The resource estimate shows improvements in metallurgical recoveries, changes in metal prices, and additional drilling. Exploration drilling is planned for 2024 to test nearby high-priority targets.
Grid Metals Corp. announces high-grade lithium values at Falcon West Drill Program, including 4.7% Li2O. The drill program focused on lithium mineralization, intersecting significant levels of lithium, tantalum, cesium, and rubidium. Multi-metre intersections of lithium-enriched pegmatite were found with coarse spodumene crystals. The program confirmed the presence of a rare metal-enriched pegmatite system, potentially open along strike. Future plans involve further exploration for mineable lithium zones.
