SPARK ENERGY MINERALS INC - SPARF STOCK NEWS

Spark Energy Minerals (CSE: SPRK) (OTC: SPARF) has launched its 2025 exploration program at the 64,359-hectare Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company's Q4 2024 exploration identified 3 priority targets within 8 pegmatite trends, comprising 27.2km of prospective strike.

Key developments include:

• 144 samples submitted for analysis, with results expected in late January
• Exploration of remaining 80% of tenement package planned
• Retention of Sahara Mining Services for NI 43-101 Exploration Report
• Appointment of Richard Dan Hamer as consultant geologist

The company plans to continue first-pass exploration across the remainder of its tenement package through March 2025, while focusing on priority targets already identified. The program will be supported by analytical results from SGS laboratory and an independent field geological assessment for the NI 43-101 report.

Spark Energy Minerals (SPARF) has completed its first field exploration campaign at the 64,359-hectare Arapaima Lithium project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The exploration covered approximately 20% of the land package and identified 8 pegmatite trends with a combined strike of 27.2km. Key findings include:

- 78 individual pegmatite occurrences recorded
- 144 samples submitted to SGS laboratory
- Three priority target areas defined
- Target Area 1: ~13.3km combined pegmatite trend
- Target Area 5: ~5.6km combined strike length
- New Target Area 6: ~8.3km combined strike length

Results from laboratory analysis are expected by end of January 2025, and work will resume on January 6th with three geological teams.

Spark Energy Minerals (CSE: SPRK) (OTC: SPARF) has announced significant progress at its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company has extended its newly identified pegmatite corridor to 7.2km of strike, combining three target areas in the north. Exploration teams have identified two new pegmatite-bearing corridors through an erosional window in lateritic cover sequences.

The company has collected 89 samples across approximately 10-15% of its 64,359-hectare tenement package, with the first batch of nearly 100 samples being submitted to SGS laboratory in Belo Horizonte. Results are expected by mid-January. The area contains deeply weathered two-mica granites with pegmatite veins and dykes, showing potential for lithium-bearing minerals such as spodumene.

Spark Energy Minerals has identified a significant ~1.7km long pegmatite strike corridor at its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The discovery was made through an erosional window in shallow laterite cover in the central northern portion of the 64,359-hectare tenement package.

The exploration team has identified 5 priority targets for follow-up outcrop rock chip sampling. The most promising area shows multiple pegmatite bodies up to 0.5m in thickness, with widespread evidence of weathered and kaolinized pegmatite intrusives hosted within granite. The pegmatite corridor remains open on both sides, with potential extension up to 8km based on geophysics.

The area was previously highlighted by CPRM as prospective for Lithium based on visible spodumene in heavy mineral concentrates and anomalous stream sediment sampling results.

Spark Energy Minerals has initiated its maiden exploration program at the Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company has deployed three field geology stream sampling teams across its 64,359-hectare tenement. Two teams are focusing on areas with previously identified spodumene concentrations from CPRM surveys, while the third team is conducting systematic reconnaissance. The first day of exploration revealed promising results, including the discovery of a pegmatite occurrence with potentially lithium-bearing minerals at surface, along with two additional pegmatite outcrops.

Spark Energy Minerals (CSE: SPRK) has initiated exploration at its 64,359-hectare Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. The company has deployed three geological sampling teams to investigate spodumene occurrences identified in government heavy mineral pan concentrate samples. Exploration activities are expected to complete by Q4 2024, with results evaluation in early Q1 2025 and preliminary drill testing planned for Q2 2025.

The company announced a private placement of up to $150,000, offering 1,000,000 units at $0.15 each, with each unit including one share and one warrant exercisable at $0.30. Additionally, Spark has received $451,875 from warrant and option exercises since October 1, 2024.

Spark Energy Minerals has launched an aggressive exploration program at its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley, covering 64,359 hectares. The company has divided its tenement portfolio into Priority 1 and Priority 2 areas based on geological assessments. The exploration strategy leverages government geological reports from 2016 and 2023, saving significant time and costs. Field activities include stream sediment sampling, heavy mineral pan concentrates testing, geological mapping, and rock chip sampling to identify spodumene-rich pegmatites. The Priority 1 Target Area focuses on the highest-ranked lithium-prospective drainage basins, while Priority 2 includes secondary-ranked areas with potential lithium occurrences.

Spark Energy Minerals Inc. (CSE: SPRK) (OTC Pink: SPARF) is advancing exploration at its Arapaima Lithium Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. Key highlights include:

1. Spark holds the largest contiguous tenement package (64,359 hectares) in the Lithium Valley.
2. The area has exceptional geological potential, supported by fertile G4 granite intrusions and favorable basement formations.
3. Neighboring company Si6 Metals recently discovered a 3km lithium anomalous trend on their adjoining Padre Paraíso prospect.
4. Spark's geological team has developed priority exploration targets using advanced techniques.

The company's strategic position and recent developments in the area validate its potential in the globally significant lithium region.

Spark Energy Minerals Inc. (CSE: SPRK) (OTC Pink: SPARF) has announced a debt settlement agreement to acquire full ownership of its flagship Arapaima Lithium Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
