The Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Graycliff Exploration Limited (the "Vendor") dated February 23, 2024, and the Acquisition is scheduled to close on March 1, 2024.
安大略省多倫多--（Newsfile Corp.-2024 年 2 月 29 日）- 電動汽車礦業公司 （案例：EVM）（FSE：RLC） （那個”公司“或”電動汽車礦物“) 很高興地宣佈 Lunge 項目的結果 (”猛衝“) 公司在擬議收購中完成的表面採樣（”收購“) 的 Baldwin 和 Lunge 項目（”薩德伯裏項目“）。公司簽訂了購買協議（”協議“) 與 Graycliff 勘探有限公司（”供應商“) 日期爲2024年2月23日，此次收購計劃於2024年3月1日完成。
EV Minerals mobilized a technical team to Lunge as part of the Company's due diligence for acquiring the Lunge and Baldwin Properties. The team collected a total of 35 samples with five (5) samples returning assay values of greater than 1% Nickel ("Ni"), and a total of seven (7) samples containing greater than 1% Copper ("Cu").
作爲該公司收購Lunge和Baldwin Properties的盡職調查的一部分，EV Minerals動員了一個技術團隊前往Lunge。該小組共收集了35個樣本，其中五（5）個樣本返回的化驗值大於1％的鎳（“Ni”），以及總共七（7）個含有大於1％的銅（“Cu”）的樣本。
Notable highlights included high-grade Ni values from grab samples F420012 (1.14% Ni), 260850 (1.28% Ni), and F420013 (1.23% Ni). Additionally, significant Cu samples included 260845 (1.54% Cu), 260846 (1.15% Cu), 260842 (2.54% Cu), 171004 (2.44% Cu), and 171009 (2.04% Cu). Refer to Figure 1 for samples above 1% Cu, 1% Ni, or 1 g/t Au, and Table 1 for results above 0.5% Ni, 0.5% Cu, or 1 g/t Au.

**All sample values are from grab samples which by their nature are not representative of overall grades of mineralized areas. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on the assay values reported in the table above. The 24 samples above are part of a suite of 35 samples collected and assayed.
**所有樣本值均來自採集樣本，這些樣本就其性質而言，不能代表礦化區域的總體等級。提醒讀者不要過分依賴上表中報告的測定值。上面的24個樣本是收集和分析的35個樣本的一部分。
Grab samples were analyzed at AGAT Laboratories for a suite of 34 metals by 4-Acid digest, with an Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) finish (method code 201-070) and for Au, Pt, and Pd by ICP-OES finish (method code 202-555).
在AGAT實驗室通過4-酸分解法對採集樣本進行了一組34種金屬的分析，採用電感耦合等離子體-光發射光譜（ICP-OES）完成（方法代碼201-070），並通過ICP-OES表面處理（方法代碼202-555）對金、鉑和鈀進行了分析。
Samples not shown in the table returned assays below 0.5% nickel, 0.5% copper and 1g/t gold.
表中未顯示的樣本返回的化驗結果低於 0.5% 的鎳、0.5% 的銅和 1g/t 的金。
About Baldwin & Lunge Projects
關於 Baldwin & Lunge 項目
The Baldwin Project, comprised of the Main Baldwin Block and the Northeast Baldwin Block, spans 1,605 hectares, with the adjacent 587-hectare Lunge Project, located 6 km northeast, showcasing gold and critical minerals potential. Airborne geophysics on both projects revealed multiple new target areas for gold, copper, nickel, and platinum group elements (PGE) mineralization.
寶德威項目由寶德溫主區塊和鮑德溫東北區塊組成，佔地1,605公頃，鄰近的587公頃的Lunge項目位於東北6公里處，展示了黃金和關鍵礦產的潛力。這兩個項目的航空地球物理學顯示了金、銅、鎳和鉑族元素 (PGE) 礦化的多個新目標區域。
Baldwin, underlain by rocks of the Huronian Supergroup, exposes a major splay off the Murray Fault. The Elliot Lake Group dominates, comprising mafic, intermediate, and felsic metavolcanic rocks overlying or intercalated with McKim and Matinenda sedimentary formations. The region displays east-to-northeast trending with folding, notably southeast, featuring folded Nipissing sills along the Murray Fault. Significant faults, including Murray, Worthington, Fairbanks Lake, and Cameron Lake, are present.
以休倫尼亞超級集團的岩石爲支撐的鮑德溫揭露了默裏斷層的重大劇情。艾略特湖群占主導地位，包括覆蓋麥基姆和馬蒂內達沉積層或夾層的鎂鐵質變火山岩、中火山岩和長英質變火山岩。該地區呈現出從東向東北摺疊的趨勢，尤其是向東南的摺疊，默裏斷層沿線的尼皮辛山脊是摺疊的。存在重大斷層，包括默裏、沃辛頓、費爾班克斯湖和卡梅倫湖。
The Lunge Property, situated 6 km along the Elliot Lake Group strike, hosts folded mafic Nipissing sills and dykes, indicating potential for copper, nickel, and PGE deposits.
Lunge地產位於艾略特湖集團罷工沿線6公里處，擁有摺疊的尼皮辛基岩臺和堤壩，這表明存在銅、鎳和PGE礦牀的潛力。
Geologic feedback from the technical team indicates that the predominant host rock of the stronger mineralization was gabbro, exhibiting strong alteration and mineralization, predominantly featuring pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite.
技術團隊的地質反饋表明，較強礦化的主要主巖是輝長岩，表現出強烈的蝕變和礦化，主要以鐵礦、黃銅礦和黃鐵礦爲主。

About EV Minerals Corporation
關於電動汽車礦業公司
EV Minerals Corporation is a Canadian exploration company focused on mineral exploration and development. The current focus is the EV Nickel Project, host of the nickel-copper-cobalt McNickel deposit. The Project is comprised of 32 mineral claims covering approximately 1,792 hectares located in the Saguenay area, the Province of Quebec. This deposit contains a historical resource of 5.585 million tonnes with grades of 0.21% Ni, 0.11% Cu and 0.03% Co (NI 43-101 non-compliant resource), which is to be re-evaluated with the consideration of using either bioleaching or acid leaching and electrowinning for nickel, cobalt and copper recovery.
EV Minerals Corporation是一家加拿大勘探公司，專注於礦產勘探和開發。目前的重點是電動汽車鎳項目，該項目是鎳銅鈷麥克尼克爾礦牀的所在地。該項目由32項礦產索賠組成，佔地約1,792公頃，位於魁北克省薩格奈地區。該礦牀的歷史資源爲558.5萬噸，鎳品位爲0.21％，銅含量爲0.11％，鈷含量爲0.03％（不符合NI 43-101標準的資源），將對該資源進行重新評估，同時考慮使用生物浸出或酸浸和電解來回收鎳、鈷和銅。
Recently acquired properties Baldwin and Lunge Property will allow the Company to expand its exploration efforts into the Province of Ontario. Baldwin and Lunge Properties are comprised of 72 and 27 mineral claims respectively. These properties boast extensive mineral potential including gold, nickel, copper, and PGE in an established mining camp.
最近收購的寶德溫和隆格地產將使該公司能夠將其勘探工作擴展到安大略省。Baldwin和Lunge Properties分別由72份和27份礦產索賠組成。這些地產在成熟的採礦營地中擁有廣泛的礦產潛力，包括金、鎳、銅和 PGE。
