Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2023) - Vatic Ventures Corp. (the "Company" or "Vatic") (TSXV: VCV) (FSE: V8V) (OTCQB: VCVVF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a share purchase agreement with arms length vendors (the "Optionors") to acquire, subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval, a 100% interest in a private company which holds an option to acquire a highly prospective hard rock lithium property ("Solonópole South"). The property hosts multiple extensive lithium bearing pegmatite dykes that recently returned initial grab samples of 5.03% Li2O, 3.72% Li2O and 3.41% Li2O.

The Solonópole South Lithium Property consists of 4 claim blocks covering 4,813.57 hectares. The property is located in the coastal state of Ceara in Northeast Brazil, 40 km from the city of Solonópole in a known pegmatite mining district. Vatic's Solonópole South Property is also located approximately 30 km Southeast of Oceana Lithium Limited's ("OCN" - ASX) property. Oceana Lithium Limited's recent sampling returned up to 9.89% Li2O as well as over 1% Ta, 1% Nb, over 1000 ppm Tin, and over 2.5% Be.

The initial 2023 exploration program completed by the former property owner revealed multiple long and wide pegmatite dykes that measure up to 30 meters in width and up to 300 meters in length that are largely unexplored.

Vatic is planning an upcoming work program that will include GPS sample site controls for overburden stripping, mapping, channel sampling and trenching.

Vatic is in the process of engaging sampling crews and is working with local Brazil based geological consultants to help plan a follow up drilling program to evaluate the priority targets.
