Rapide Lithium Project, Quebec

Afzaal Pirzada, M.Sc.(Geology), P.Geo., is a consultant to Medaro Mining and a Qualified Person, as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Pirzada has approved of the disclosure set out below.

RAPIDE LITHIUM PROJECT: HIGHLIGHTS

  • Medaro has secured an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Rapide property which consists of 32 mining claims covering approximately 1,800 hectares area located in Darlin and Chabert townships, approximately 80 kilometers southwest of the town of Val-d’Or, Quebec. 

  • There are several historical and currently active lithium and molybdenum prospects/mines in the Abitibi region: North American Lithium, which was formerly owned by RB Energy, Authier Lithium owned by Sayona Mining of Australia, Valor Lithium, and the Tansim Lithium project. 

  • The Rapide property is underlain by consolidated rocks of the Precambrian age. The oldest, made up of altered sedimentary with some volcanic types, are included in the Pontiac group. Pegmatites and associated aplites of diverse textures are extremely abundant in the area. Not only do they form dykes and sills in the schists of the Pontiac group and in the syenitic rocks, but they also crop out over larger areas. The largest mass of pegmatites is 6 miles in diameter and trending northeast.

  • Two-phase exploration work on the property is planned. Phase 1 will include ground truthing of historical work, geological and structural mapping, trenching, and sampling. Phase 2 of the exploration work would be further trenching and diamond drilling to test high priority targets of Phase 1.

RAPIDE PROJECT: GEOLOGY

  • Property consists of 32 mining claims covering approximately 1,800 hectares area located in Darlin and Chabert townships, approximately 80 kilometers southwest of the town of Valdor.
  • The Property is located in a very active hard rock lithium pegmatite area. There are several historical and currently active lithium and molybdenum prospects/mines in the Abitibi region (Figure 1). Some of the important prospects/mines are: North American Lithium which was formerly owned by RB Energy, Authier Lithium owned by Sayona Mining of Australia, Valor Lithium, and Tansim Lithium project of Sayona. All these projects / prospects are at various stages of exploration and development, out of which Mine Quebec Lithium is the most advanced project followed by Authier lithium project.
  • Geologically, the property is underlain by consolidated rocks of Precambrian in age. The oldest, made up of altered sedimentary with some volcanic types, are included in the Pontiac group. These have been intruded by, and mixed with, the granitic and syenitic rocks that underlie much the greater part of the area. Pegmatites and aplites are the youngest of the acidic types. Dykes of diabase and gabbro cut all other rocks in the area.
  • Pegmatites and associated aplites of diverse textures are extremely abundant in the area. Not only do they form dykes and sills in the schists of the Pontiac group and in the syenitic rocks but they also, crop out over areas with the dimensions of stocks. The largest mass is 6 miles in diameter, centred south of Rapid 2, large tongue-like extensions of this pegmatite mass trend northeast to. Dardens river and beyond: and southwest to Clérion lake, making a zone 6 to 7 miles wide and over 15 miles long in which pegmatite and pegmatitic granite are the predominant rocks. The large pegmatite masses are essentially homogeneous. Locally aggregates of larger crystals of some minerals form small irregular masses in the larger masses. Some of the smaller lenses and dykes are zoned.
  • Mineralization and geology as described by Boily (MB 89-29 is provided below:
    • 31M16-7 (Be) – This showing is found on the eastern edge of the Cadillac-Rapide Sept road, about 1.7 km east of Lake Lacasse.  The outcrop is represented by 70 to 75% of or veins of granitic pegmatite  intersecting a  biotite shale. Pegmatites (quartz, feldspar, perthite, muscovite and biotite) contain several enclaves of shale and contact with the  surrounding rock is blurred.  Some beryl crystals have been observed. These are beryl crystals in quartz-filled geodes in the biotite shales of the Pontiac Supergroup, near a pegmatite. It was discovered in 1952 by regional geological mapping. No analysis has been done.

  • A two-phase exploration work on the Property is recommended out of which Phase 1 will include ground truthing of historical work, further prospecting to explore for lithium bearing pegmatites and other type of mineralization, geological and structural mapping to understand control of mineralization, trenching and sampling.
  • A Phase 2 exploration program if required can include further trenching and diamond drilling to test high priority targets of Phase 1.
