• Lithium prices starting to rebound• Worldwide demand for lithium driven by

increase in Electric Vehicle (EV) sales and other forms of clean energy

• Jourdan Resources focused on exploration in Quebec for hard rock spodumene lithium

• Increased demand for secure North American lithium supplies

• Largest lithium exploration portfolio in Quebec• Adjacent to past producing North American

lithium operation (expected to restart with new owners in near term)

• Quebec is mining friendly and Quebec government has made EV related industries a strategic priority

• Drill ready targets

Lithium Supply And Demand Recent Worldwide demand for lithium was over 350,000 tonnes Lithium

Carbonate Equivalent (LCE).

Demand estimates for 2025 based on 14% EV penetration are approximately 1,000,000 tonnes LCE.

The 650,000 tonnes LCE shortfall is equivalent to 26 new mines (25,000 tonne/year average).

Recent EV sales penetration in Norway averaged 49% and hit a record high of 58.4% last year.

Lithium Hard RockLithium is found in very low concentration in igneous rocks. The largest concentrations of

lithium-containing minerals are found in granitic pegmatites. The most important of these

minerals are spodumene (Li2O, Al2O3, 4SiO2) and petalite (Li2O, Al2O3, 8SiO2). Spodumene

has a theoretical Li2O content of 8.03%. Due to its high lithium content, spodumene is

considered the most important lithium ore mineral.

A typical run of mine ore can contain 1-2% Li2O, while a typical spodumene concentrate

suitable for lithium carbonate production contains 6-7% Li2O (75% - 87% spodumene).
