06 December 2024 - 5:20AM
ExGen Resources Inc. (TSX.V: EXG; OTC: BXXRF)
(“
ExGen”, the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of
intent (the “
Binding LOI”) to acquire the Spark
North lithium project in Elko County, Nevada consisting of 111
claims totaling approximately 2300 acres prospective for lithium
(the “
Spark North Lithium Project”) from an arm’s
length private company (the “
Vendor”). The
property is north of Surge Battery Metals Inc.’s (TSXV: NILI)
“Nevada North Lithium Project” in Elko County, Nevada. In a news
release dated September 24, 2024, Surge Battery Metals Inc.
announced that the Nevada North Lithium Project had the highest
grade lithium clay deposit in the USA (11.24 Mt LCE grading 3,010
ppm Li at a 1,250 ppm cutoff). The technical report for the Nevada
North Lithium Project was prepared for Surge Battery Metals Inc. by
authors Jeffrey D. Phinisey of TAG Resources LLC and Bruce M.
Davis, independent geostatistical consultant, and titled “Technical
Report on Mineral Resource Estimate for the Nevada North Lithium
Project, Elko County, Nevada USA”, dated effective October 9, 2024,
and as announced on September 24, 2024.
The Binding LOI and the acquisition of the Spark
North Lithium Project are subject to TSX Venture Exchange
(“TSXV”) approval. ExGen cautions that past
results or discoveries on properties in proximity to ExGen’s
properties, including the Nevada North Lithium Project, may not
necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on any
of the Company’s properties.
The Binding LOI outlines the terms of the
acquisition as follows:
- ExGen to provide a cash payment of
CAD $250,000 to the Vendor. The first $100,000 is due on completion
of due diligence or waiver of the due diligence condition in
respect of the Spark North Lithium Project. The $150,000 balance is
due on closing of the transfer to ExGen of the claims for the Spark
North Lithium Project (the “Closing”).
- ExGen to issue 5,000,000 common
shares to the Vendor on Closing.
- ExGen to grant a 1.5% NSR in favour
of the Vendor, with a 0.75% NSR buyback (half of the NSR) at
ExGen’s option for CAD $1,000,000.
- The Closing of the acquisition of
the Spark North Lithium Project is also subject to conditions as
are customary for transactions similar to the acquisition.
Jason Riley, CEO of ExGen commented: “We have
evaluated a number of properties over the past few years and are
excited to acquire a position in the Lithium district in Elko
County, NV. We look forward to completing our due diligence and
closing this acquisition shortly.”

There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be

particular, this news release contains forward-looking information
in relation to: the potential acquisition of the Spark North
Lithium Project, including the potential closing of the Spark North
Lithium Project, potential TSXV approval of the Spark North Lithium

the Spark North Lithium Project, and the potential payment of
consideration in relation to the Spark North Lithium Project
including the potential payment of 5,000,000 common shares of the

such information will prove to be accurate, and actual results and
future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such information. In the forward looking information contained in
this news release, ExGen has made numerous assumptions, based upon
practices and methodologies which are consistent with the mineral
industry. In addition, ExGen has assumed: the continued market
acceptance of its joint venture partnership model; the ability of
ExGen and its partners to raise future equity financing, if needed,
at prices acceptable to ExGen or its partners; ExGen's current and
initial understanding and analysis of the Spark North Lithium
Project; the ability of ExGen or third parties to discover viable
exploration targets and the results of exploration on the Spark
North Lithium Project; and ExGen's general and administrative costs
remaining sustainable. While ExGen considers these assumptions to
be reasonable, these assumptions are inherently subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies. Additionally, there
are known and unknown risk factors which could cause ExGen's
observations, actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
information contained herein. Known risk factors include, among
others: the possibility that the analytical results from future
core sampling does not return significant grades of lithium or any
other mineralization; uncertainties relating to interpretation of
drill results and the geology; continuity and grade of
mineralization; there is no certainty that any work programs will
result in significant or successful exploration of the Spark North
Lithium Project or development of the Spark North Lithium Project
into a producing mine; uncertainty as to the actual results of
exploration and development or operational activities; uncertainty
as to the availability and terms of future financing; uncertainty
as to timely availability of permits and other governmental
approvals; ExGen may not be able to comply with its ongoing
obligations regarding its properties; the early stage development
of ExGen and its projects, and in particular, the Spark North
Lithium Project; general business, economic, competitive, political
and social uncertainties; capital market conditions and market
prices for securities, junior market securities and mining
exploration company securities; commodity prices, in particular
copper, gold, silver, lithium and zinc prices; competition; changes
in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; accidents
and other risks inherent in the mining industry; lack of insurance;
delay or failure to receive board or regulatory approvals; changes
in legislation, including environmental legislation, affecting
ExGen; conclusions of economic evaluations; and lack of qualified,
skilled labour or loss of key individuals. A description of
additional risk factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from forward-looking information can be found in ExGen's
disclosure documents on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.
Although ExGen has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking information, there may be other
factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking information. ExGen does not undertake to update any
forward-looking information except in accordance with applicable
securities laws.
