June‌ ‌18,‌ ‌2021‌‌-‌‌M‌ONTRÉAL‌,‌‌Q‌UÉBEC‌ ‌-‌‌Critical‌‌Elements‌‌Lithium‌‌Corporation‌‌(TSX-V:‌‌CRE)‌‌(US‌‌OTCQX:‌‌ CRECF)‌ ‌(FSE:‌ ‌F12)‌ ‌("‌Critical‌ ‌Elements‌"‌ ‌or‌ ‌the‌ ‌"‌Company‌")‌ ‌and‌ ‌G‌oldSpot‌ ‌Discoveries‌‌Corp‌.‌‌(TSXV:‌‌

SPOT;‌ OTCQX:‌‌ SPOFF)‌‌ ("GoldSpot"),‌‌a‌‌ leading‌‌ technology‌‌ services‌‌ company‌‌ leveraging‌‌ machine‌‌‌

learning‌ to‌‌ transform‌‌ the‌‌ mineral‌‌ discovery‌‌ process,‌‌ are‌‌ pleased‌‌ to‌‌announce‌‌that‌‌GoldSpot‌‌has‌‌been‌‌‌

engaged‌ ‌by‌ ‌Critical‌ ‌Elements‌ ‌to‌ ‌apply‌ ‌it‌ ‌proprietary‌ ‌machine‌ ‌learning‌ ‌technology‌ ‌and‌ ‌geoscience‌‌

expertise‌on‌‌ Critical‌‌ Elements'‌‌ extensive‌‌ property‌‌ package‌‌ located‌‌ in‌‌ James‌ -Bay,‌Quebec‌ .‌ ‌

‌

Globally,‌Any‌‌ Resource‌‌‌ ‌

‌

GoldSpot‌‌works‌‌with‌‌leading‌‌exploration‌‌and‌‌mining‌‌clients‌‌across‌‌all‌‌commodities‌‌and‌‌deposit‌‌types‌‌to‌‌

apply‌ cutting‌‌ edge‌‌ Artifcial‌‌ Intelligence‌‌ ("AI")‌‌ algorithms‌‌ to‌‌ signifcantly‌‌increase‌‌ the‌‌ effciency‌‌ and‌‌‌ success‌‌rate‌‌of‌‌mineral‌‌exploration‌‌across‌‌resources.‌‌ ‌

‌

GoldSpot‌‌will‌‌work‌‌closely‌‌with‌‌the‌‌technical‌‌team‌‌at‌‌Critical‌‌Elements‌‌to‌‌analyze‌‌geoscience‌‌data‌‌sets‌‌to‌‌

develop‌ and‌‌ refne‌‌ Smart‌‌ Targets‌‌ at‌‌ the‌‌ company's‌‌ 100%‌‌ owned‌‌ exploration‌‌ projects,‌‌ which‌‌ features‌‌‌

multiple‌lithium‌‌ showings,‌‌ as‌‌ well‌‌ as‌‌ nickel,‌‌ copper‌‌ and‌‌ gold‌ .‌‌ ‌

‌

One‌‌strength‌‌of‌‌the‌‌GoldSpot‌‌Smart‌‌approach‌‌of‌‌AI‌‌and‌‌geoscience‌‌methods‌‌to‌‌exploration‌‌is‌‌the‌‌ability‌‌

to‌‌take‌‌large‌‌land‌‌packages‌‌and‌‌distill‌‌all‌‌available‌‌geological‌‌information‌‌to‌‌identify‌‌the‌‌most‌‌effcient‌‌and‌‌ cost-effective‌ ‌way‌ ‌to‌ ‌explore‌ ‌prospective‌ ‌terrane.‌ ‌As‌ ‌is‌ ‌standard‌ ‌in‌ ‌GoldSpot's‌ ‌workfow,‌ ‌most‌ ‌of‌ ‌all‌‌

available‌ public‌‌ geoscience‌‌data‌‌ will‌‌ be‌‌ compiled‌‌ and‌‌ synthesized‌‌for‌‌ the‌‌ permits‌‌ of‌‌ scope‌‌ and‌‌‌

surrounding‌ areas‌ .‌ Structural,‌‌ geological,‌‌ metamorphism,‌‌hydrothermal‌‌footprint,‌‌ geophysical,‌‌and‌‌‌ remote‌‌sensing‌‌components‌‌will‌‌all‌‌be‌‌analysed‌‌through‌‌GoldSpot's‌‌proprietary‌‌AI‌‌tools‌‌to‌‌produce‌‌high‌‌

priority‌ targets‌‌ for‌‌ feld‌‌ prospecting‌ .‌ Additionally,‌‌machine‌‌ learning‌ -based‌ outcrop‌‌ detection‌‌ will‌‌ be‌‌‌

achieved‌to‌‌ better‌‌ orient‌‌ the‌‌ feld‌‌ investigations‌.‌ ‌

‌

"Our‌‌engagement‌‌with‌‌Critical‌‌Elements‌‌showcases‌‌GoldSpot's‌‌ability‌‌to‌‌work‌‌with‌‌mining‌‌leaders‌‌across‌‌

resources‌ to‌‌ identify‌‌ new‌‌ mineral‌‌ exploration‌‌targets"‌‌ said‌‌ Denis‌‌ Laviolette,‌‌Executive‌‌ Chairman‌‌ and‌‌‌ President‌‌of‌‌GoldSpot.‌‌"‌Signifcant‌‌global‌‌capital‌‌is‌‌being‌‌invested‌‌throughout‌‌the‌‌electric‌‌vehicle‌‌supply‌‌

chain,‌ ‌which‌ ‌will‌ ‌drive‌ ‌demand‌ ‌for‌ ‌high-quality‌ ‌lithium‌‌sources.‌‌We‌‌are‌‌excited‌‌to‌‌work‌‌with‌‌the‌‌Critical‌‌ Elements‌ ‌team‌ ‌to‌ ‌capitalize‌ ‌on‌ ‌their‌ ‌existing‌ ‌infrastructure‌ ‌and‌ ‌exploration‌ ‌potential‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌‌

demonstrate‌our‌‌ advanced‌‌ analytical‌‌ technology‌ ."‌‌ ‌

‌

Jean-Sébastien‌‌Lavallée,‌‌Critical‌‌Elements'‌‌Chief‌‌Executive‌‌Offcer,‌‌commented:‌‌"We‌‌are‌‌really‌‌excited‌‌to‌‌ be‌‌able‌‌to‌‌work‌‌with‌‌GoldSpot‌‌to‌‌apply‌‌their‌‌exclusive‌‌technology‌‌to‌‌generate‌‌targets‌‌on‌‌our‌‌projects‌‌from‌‌

geological‌ and‌‌ geochemical‌‌data,‌‌ as‌‌ well‌‌ as‌‌ more‌‌ recent‌‌ geophysical‌‌data‌‌ acquired‌‌ during‌‌ our‌‌ last‌‌‌ survey.‌ ‌Resumption‌ ‌of‌ ‌exploration‌ ‌work‌ ‌on‌‌our‌‌different‌‌projects‌‌covering‌‌more‌‌than‌‌700‌‌km‌2‌ ‌aiming‌‌to‌‌

show‌ the‌‌ full‌‌ potential‌‌ is‌‌ part‌‌ of‌‌ the‌‌development‌‌plan‌‌put‌‌in‌‌place‌‌by‌‌our‌‌team‌‌to‌‌become‌‌a‌‌large‌‌and‌‌‌ responsible‌‌lithium‌‌producer."‌ ‌

‌

‌ ‌

‌

Critical‌‌Elements'‌‌primary‌‌focus‌‌remains‌‌on‌‌advancing‌‌and‌‌de-risking‌‌the‌‌Rose‌‌Project.‌‌In‌‌February‌‌2021,‌‌ the‌ ‌Environmental‌ ‌and‌ ‌Social‌ ‌Impact‌ ‌Review‌ ‌Committee‌ ‌("COMEX")‌ ‌held‌ ‌public‌ ‌hearing‌ ‌sessions‌ ‌in‌‌ Matagami,‌ ‌Eastmain‌ ‌and‌ ‌Nemaska.‌ ‌As‌ ‌a‌ ‌follow-up‌ ‌to‌ ‌those‌ ‌public‌ ‌hearing‌ ‌sessions,‌ ‌the‌ ‌COMEX‌‌ communicated‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌Company‌ ‌a‌ ‌list‌ ‌of‌ ‌questions‌ ‌and‌ ‌undertakings‌ ‌based‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌observations‌ ‌and‌‌ comments‌ ‌expressed‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌participants‌ ‌during‌ ‌the‌ ‌public‌‌hearing‌‌sessions.‌‌The‌‌Company‌‌is‌‌currently‌‌ working‌ ‌on‌ ‌duly‌ ‌responding‌ ‌to‌ ‌those‌ ‌questions‌ ‌and‌ ‌fulflling‌ ‌the‌ ‌undertakings‌ ‌set‌ ‌out‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌COMEX's‌‌ correspondence,‌‌which‌‌is‌‌part‌‌of‌‌the‌‌environmental‌‌and‌‌social‌‌impact‌‌assessment‌‌and‌‌review‌‌procedure.‌‌ The‌ ‌COMEX's‌ ‌mission‌ ‌is‌ ‌to‌ ‌contribute‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌protection‌ ‌of‌ ‌human‌ ‌health‌‌and‌‌the‌‌environment‌‌and‌‌the‌‌ economic‌ ‌and‌ ‌social‌ ‌well-being‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌peoples‌ ‌inhabiting‌ ‌the‌ ‌territory‌‌governed‌‌by‌‌the‌‌James‌‌Bay‌‌and‌‌ Northern‌ ‌Quebec‌ ‌Agreement‌‌(JBNQA)‌‌that‌‌lies‌‌south‌‌of‌‌the‌‌55‌th‌ parallel.‌‌The‌‌Rose‌‌property‌‌(where‌‌the‌‌ Rose‌‌Lithium-Tantalum‌‌Project‌‌is‌‌proposed)‌‌is‌‌located‌‌in‌‌northern‌‌Québec's‌‌administrative‌‌region,‌‌on‌‌the‌‌ territory‌ ‌of‌ ‌Eeyou‌ ‌Istchee‌ ‌James‌ ‌Bay.‌ ‌It‌‌is‌‌located‌‌on‌‌Category‌‌III‌‌land,‌‌on‌‌the‌‌Traditional‌‌Lands‌‌of‌‌the‌‌ Cree‌‌Nation‌‌of‌‌Eastmain.‌‌Once‌‌the‌‌environmental‌‌and‌‌social‌‌impact‌‌assessment‌‌and‌‌review‌‌procedure‌‌is‌‌ completed,‌ ‌the‌ ‌COMEX‌ ‌will‌ ‌make‌ ‌a‌ ‌recommendation‌ ‌in‌ ‌respect‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌authorization‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Project‌ ‌by‌‌ provincial‌‌authorities.‌ ‌
