NAL is required to spend the full Escrow Amount on exploration activities on 28 claims within the company’s Vallée lithium project prior to November 14, 2023, to earn a 25 per cent interest in the earn-in claims. NAL’s obligation to spend the escrow amount represents a firm commitment under the earn-in agreement. 

NAL also has the option to spend an additional C$6 million by November 14, 2024, to earn a further 25 per cent interest in the earn-in claims.

Jourdan Resources is working with North American Lithium to develop a work program to be funded by the escrow amount. The parties intend for the work program to include a drilling program that would commence in Q1 of 2023.

Executive Chairman Dr. Andy Rompel commented on the partnership.

“We look forward to a joint exploration effort with our newly-found partner, which operates the neighbouring NAL mine. With the new funds, we intend to explore the known pegmatite swarm even further southeastwards with diamond drilling in pursuit of establishing a preliminary mineral resource estimate.”

Jourdan Resources is a junior mining exploration company operating in Quebec.
