Searchlight Resources Inc. announced that the Company has re-staked the Wapawekka core claims, based on 24 drill-ready targets identified by the Company. The new Wapawekka claims, covering 89.1 square kilometers, are located approximately 70 kilometres southeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, and approximately 35 kilometres north of Highway 165. Based on in-house geophysical interpretation, Searchlight has identified 24 drill-ready targets on the Wapawekka claims. Prior to release of this data on these drill-ready targets, the Company allowed the original claims to lapse and then re-staked the priority areas.

Geophysical interpretation was based on data from the Southern Glennie airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys released by the Government of Saskatchewan in September 2020. The Southern Glennie airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys were flown over an area southeast of Lac La Ronge, Saskatchewan. The surveys covered an area of 1,110 sq.

km, with a total of 6,595 line-kilometres at 200-metre line spacing. The surveys were funded by the Government of Saskatchewan as part of its Mineral Development Strategy, with technical support provided by Natural Resources Canada. The Government of Saskatchewan released the raw data and a set of maps on September 17th, 2020.

The Wapawekka Lake Belt, as with much of Saskatchewan, is under-explored and has had only limited past exploration on its gold and base metal targets.
