ORFORD EXPANDS NUNAVIK LITHIUM PROPERTIES AROUND LITHIUM BEARING PEGMATITE DISCOVERIES

Orford Mining Corporation (“Orford”) (TSXV-ORM) is pleased to announce that it has increased its Nunavik Lithium land package by 39 km2 or 8%, expanding properties that are confirmed to host Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (“LCT”) pegmatites (Figure 1). Orford’s total lithium exploration land package in Nunavik is now 596 km2. Assay results from the recently completed exploration program on these properties (Figure 1) confirmed the occurrence of LCT bearing pegmatites, specifically on the Cathode, kWatt and Flare properties (see Orford’s news release of October 4, 2023). These three properties were expanded as a result of these discoveries and will provide additional exploration and discovery potential for lithium bearing pegmatites in an area where LCT bearing pegmatites have already been confirmed. The 2024 exploration program will be focused on these highly prospective areas. David Christie, President and CEO of Orford commented, “Orford has secured additional ground around what we believe are the pegmatites with the best chemistry for potential lithium deposits. This expanded ground will be a focus of future work on the Nunavik Lithium Properties. Orford will also continue to complete further exploration on the other properties in Nunavik.”
