Vancouver – December 29, 2022 – True North Gems Inc. (TSXV: TGX, or the "Company") reports
that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Laval Critical Elements Inc.( "LCE"), has acquired two Lithium
prospects in the Decelles-Pontiac lithium play in the Abitibi region of northwestern Quebec.
The area of the Decelles Resevoir, southwest of Val d’Or, Quebec has long been know to be
prospecptive for Lithium bearing pegmatites, the first showimgs of Lithium mineralization having
been described from the region in 1955; the Wells-Lacouciere occurrence currently being explored
by Vision Lithium.
Over the past year Cadillac-Pontiac area has gained attention due to recent discoveries of several
high-grade spodumene prospects. The latest discovery of high-grade lithium prospects by Vision
Lithium Inc, spurred several other exploration and drill programs within the Cadillac area in 2022.
Since December 2021, approximately 4000 new claims have been registered in the greater Mazerac
area and the Pontiac Sub province region.
Regional Geology
The geology of the Pontiac Sub-province includes rocks of sedimentary origin and a few of volcanic
origin which are part of the Pontiac group. The majority of the bedrock in the region is composed of
granitic and syenitic rocks. Spodumene pegmatites and associated aplites are abundant locally
and large clusters of pegmatite are essentially homogeneous, however, some of the smaller dykes
and lenses are zoned. The general northeast orientation of the topographic features of the eastern
part of the region is controlled by the granite and pegmatite sills in the biotite schists. There are
many north, north-east and north-west trending joints in all the rocks of the region.
