EMP Metals Corp. announced Hub City Lithium Corp. ("HCL"), a subsidiary company to EMP, has now commenced the re-entry of wellbore 101/14-36-008-13 W2M (the "Second Test Well") to test the inflow potential and lithium concentrations in the Duperow zone.

The Second Test Well is located in the Mansur Permit Area of southeast Saskatchewan, approximately half a mile from the Company's first test well, 11/11-02-009-13W2/0, which confirmed lithium concentrations of up to 96.3 mg/l. The Mansur Permit Area has existing infrastructure with an ample amount of oil wellbores drilled through the target formation. This allows for potential cost savings on future development and allows the Company to map and target certain lands with lithium potential. This existing infrastructure is expected to lower the ultimate cost of early-stage development of the resource.

HCL licenses now collectively cover an area extending 40 miles north and 40 miles east of the City of Weyburn. The existing oil and gas infrastructure within the area includes over a hundred oil wells drilled through the target formation that can be used for geological mapping, future lithium testing, and development. In addition to the existing oil field infrastructure and labour pool, the economics of the project area are enhanced by the presence of existing infrastructure, including but not limited to: paved highways, rail lines, existing three phase electrical supply, and access to natural gas.

Lithium Brine Properties Joint Venture The lithium brine properties consist of 37 permits totaling 212,633 acres (86,050 hectares) of Subsurface Crown Mineral Dispositions in the Williston basin of Southern Saskatchewan. Brine sampling of a vertical wellbore located on one of the properties returned lithium concentrations in the Duperow formation up to 96.3 mg/l. EMP holds 75% of the joint venture with ROK Resources Inc. (ROK.V) holding the balance. Qualified Person.
