About the PAK Lithium
Project
The PAK lithium project contains North
America's highest-grade lithium resource and is the second
largest in North America by size.
The project encompasses close to 27,000 hectares and remains
largely unexplored; however, since 2013, the company has delineated
two premium spodumene-bearing lithium deposits (PAK and

the project through two other spodumene- bearing discoveries: the
Bolt pegmatite (located between the PAK and Spark deposits), as
well as the Pennock pegmatite (25 kilometres northwest of PAK
deposit within the project claims). A 2023 Pre-Feasbility Study
