Rock Edge Closes Acquisition for Val-d'Or East Property

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 12, 2023 / Rock Edge Resources ("Rock Edge," or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced acquisition (the "Acquisition"), by Rock Edge of all of the issued and outstanding securities in the capital of 1403437 BC Ltd. The Acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the definitive agreement previously announced April 11, 2023, among the shareholders of 1403437 BC Ltd. and Rock Edge.

1403437 BC Ltd. holds a 100% undivided interest in the Val-d'Or East Mineral Claims (the "Property") in the Province of Quebec, Canada. The Property consists of 90 mining claims covering approximately 5,292 hectares or 53 square km. The Property is located 30km southeast of Val-d'Or, accessible via the regional 117 highway.

The Property is located approximately 65km southeast from The NAL Lithium Processing Plant (A Piedmont/Sayona Joint Venture), which just announced it produced its first batch of spodumene concentrate (SC6) and 30km southwest of Val-d'Or, a logistics hub for mining service. Currently, three lithium refiners are in the works, with Sayona planning to commission a refinery that will output Lithium Hydroxide, located approximately 70km southeast of the Property. Additionally, there is a third refinery planned by Nameska near Becancour, about 200km southeast of the Rock Edge's Val d'Or East Lithium Project.

The Property is contiguous to Sayona Mining Limited's (ASX: SYA) Property and to Brunswick exploration property. The Property lies chiefly on the metagraywackes of the Pontiac Geological Subprovince. The Réservoir Decelles Batholith is located 1-3km away from the Property and consists of a heterogeneous granite which contain muscovite-pegmatites. The vicinity of the Property was prospected for Cu-Ni (Lac Granet, Lac Louvicourt-South and Céré-Villebon), and the search for pegmatites was ignored until very recently.

In connection with the Acquisition, shareholders of 1403437 BC Ltd., on a pro-rata basis, received a cash payment of $30,000 upon closing of the Acquisition, and will receive a cash payment of $30,000, on a pro-rata basis, on or before April 12, 2024. Furthermore, the Company issued the shareholders of 1403437 BC Ltd., on a pro-rata basis, 750,000 units of the Company (the "Consideration Units") at a deemed price of $0.10 per Consideration Unit. The Consideration Units consist of (a) 750,000 common shares of the Company (the "Unit Shares") and (b) 750,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "Unit Warrants") entitling holders to purchase one common share of the Company with an exercise price of $0.20 per common share expiring April 12, 2026. 350,000 Consideration Units have a hold period expiring August 13, 2023 and the remaining 400,000 Consideration Units have a hold period expiring April 12, 2024.
