James Nelson, President of Spearmint states, "We are very pleased to commence this multi-hole and multi-target lithium drill
program. The Clayton Valley is home to the only brine deposit in production in North America and we are optimistic about being
directly bordering this producing basin. The lithium market is seeing strong internal drivers such as the electric car battery
growth and battery sector. This prospect is in the same state as the Tesla Gigafactory and we are drilling into the same basin that
Tesla has an agreement for lithium with. We have just completed a financing so we are fully cashed up to undertake this initial
drill program for lithium and we also expect to be active in Quebec for Vanadium and in the Golden Triangle of BC for potentially
gold, nickel and magnesium. 2018 will be one of the most active years in recent history for Spearmint and we are very enthusiastic
about what will transpire."
