North America Lithium and Gold Corp. Announces the Successful Completion of Its Initial On-The-Ground Exploration Program At the Historic Midnight Owl Project in Arizona's White Picacho Pegmatite District North America Lithium and Gold Corp. announced the successful completion of its initial on-the-ground exploration program at the historic Midnight Owl Project in Arizona's White Picacho Pegmatite District. A key outcome of this program was the successful location and initial field assessment of the historic P&G Beryllium ProspectIn parallel, the Company's field work highlighted the presence of a large, laterally continuous pegmatite system, reinforcing the broader lithium, gold, and critical minerals potential across the project. The Company confirmed the location of the historic P&G Beryl Prospect, a past-producing zone associated with shallow surface workings targeting beryllium-bearing pegmatites. Initial field observations include: Evidence of historic surface disturbance and shallow pits Structurally controlled pegmatite-hosted mineralization Geological features consistent with beryl-bearing systems Favorable near-surface characteristics supporting potential low-impact extraction. The Company has initiated preliminary work to evaluate the zone for potential advancement toward a small mine permit application, similar in concept to phased development strategies successfully utilized in other domestic critical mineral projects. The Company's field observations are being integrated with previously generated LWIR hyperspectral data, which mapped widespread spodumene-bearing pegmatite trends across the district. The alignment between: Hyperspectral anomalies Structural trends Surface exposures provides increasing confidence in the identification of priority exploration and drill targets.

BrightRock Gold Corp. Issues Update on Current and Upcoming Exploration Plans for the Midnight Owl Project BrightRock Gold Corp. present the current and future exploration plans under priority to complete in 2024. BrightRock will prioritize the following areas over the next six months: Midnight Owl Phase 1b Sampling Program: The completion of the Phase 1a report was a significant step toward better understanding Midnight Owl's pegmatite geology. It also laid the groundwork for a more in-depth Phase 1b soil sample and exploration campaign, with an emphasis on the exposed pegmatite strike to the northeast of the claim block and 200-meter sample spacing from east to west across the Midnight Owl property. The in-house exploration geologist, James Ingraffia, MS, GMBA, has started laying the basis for the Phase 1b exploration program, which is targeted to begin in late third quarter 2024. Midnight Owl Underground Tunnel Exploration: When first completed the acquisition of the Midnight Owl Underground Mine in June 2022, the previous owners' underground XRF testing revealed not only the lithium potential present and documented in history, but also the abnormally high levels of copper, zinc, lead, silver, and gold. Despite the inconclusive nature of XRF measurements, BrightRock will adopt a two-pronged approach in the future, prioritizing not only the development of a lithium resource but also enhancing understanding of other metals that could potentially enhance its value. This process will begin with an extensive underground sampling campaign in late third quarter 2024 to determine the original location of these XRF readings. The company will then send these samples to a third-party laboratory for detailed geochemical analysis. Research Proposal with Alexandra Price: In March 2024, approached by Alexandra M. Price, M.S., University of Houston, who is working on a doctoral research proposal titled "Hyperspectral Imaging of Economic L-C-T Pegmatites." Hyperspectral data acquisition and interpretation of economic pegmatites is a novel yet a promising approach to aid in spatially discerning economical deposits from country rock. Precisely identified spectral signatures of minerals in lab settings bolster recognition during remote sensing exploration efforts. This work collected the spectral signatures of 21 economic lithium rich pegmatites samples from known fields and mines in the United States, Canada, and Ireland. Using laboratory-based push broom scanners, and with the assistance of TerraCore Corp., hyperspectral imaging commenced at the end of May 2024. Data collected includes the VNIR (visible-near infrared), SWIR (short-wave infrared) and LWIR (long-wave infrared) portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. As the research evolves, ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) will commence in the fall at the University of Houston to collect geochemical data on the key minerals identified in the hyperspectral data post processing and interpretation. Furthermore, applications of machine learning with hyperspectral and geochemical datasets can be utilized to unveil trends in data (i.e. chemically, spatially, temporally) to contribute to greater understanding of these important lithium rich hard rock deposits.

The pegmatite measures approximately 200 ft in thickness and tilts about 45° NW. Tillkännagivande • Aug 23
Brightrock Gold Corporation Announces the Discovery of Significant Spodumene Deposit At Its Midnight Owl Location Near Wickenburg, Arizona Using Spectir Hyperspectral Data BrightRock Gold Corp. announced the interpretation of imaging data collected by SpecTIR, LLC. The engagement of SpecTIR, LLC, has resulted in the production of a groundbreaking and first-of-its-kind discovery of a significant spodumene deposit at BrightRock's Midnight Owl Property near Wickenburg, Arizona, utilizing a long-wave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral survey. This ground-breaking process has paved a new avenue for the exploration of hard-rock lithium resources. This is the very first time that spodumene-grade lithium has been directly detected in a commercial airborne survey. The hyperspectral imaging data collection was executed at a resolution of around 3 feet (1 meter), adhering to military-grade standards. Midnight Owl is a lithium pegmatite exploration project located in the White Picacho Pegmatite District near Wickenburg, Arizona. The project is situated in a favorable location due to its mining history. Additionally, the project site is approximately 170 miles away from three lithium battery gigafactories. BrightRock owns 100% of the property, spanning 5005 acres, or 243 lode claims. SpecTIR has made a ground-breaking discovery of lithium-bearing pegmatites with their Long Wave Infra-Red (LWIR) Aerial Fixed Wing Survey. This study marks their first successful detection by SpecTIR of in-situ spodumene, the key lithium ore mineral. Spodumene can only be detected with a well-calibrated LWIR instrument, such as the Specim AISA OWL used in this study. As far as it is known, SpecTIR is the only company in the world to offer this unique and powerful tool for in-situ spodumene detection. Previously, SpecTIR has detected spodumene over disturbed ground, but now, with the Midnight Owl flight, undisturbed in-situ spodumene has been mapped from the air. This discovery is the first of its kind, opening a new frontier for the exploration of hard-rock lithium deposits. Also mapped are a set of pegmatites to the east, where claims were recently expanded, and in the far south of the survey, coincident with the main NE trend. Of the 40 Expanded Phase 4 Parcels only 9 were covered under this LWIR Survey. Balance 31 parcels towards east will be done in the future. The initial results are consistent with field tests of lithium concentrations in pegmatite swarms conducted by BrightRock. This landmark survey provides strong evidence that airborne hyperspectral surveys using LWIR technology can provide a valuable tool for the initial characterization of potential lithium-bearing pegmatites.

BrightRock Gold Corp. Receives High-Resolution Satellite Imagery Results for its Midnight Owl Lithium Property near Wickenburg, Arizona BrightRock Gold Corp. disclosed the report on the interpretation of high-resolution satellite images carried out by Dirt Exploration at approximately 33 feet (10 meters) resolution for its Midnight Owl Project located in the White Picacho Pegmatite District near Wickenburg, Arizona. The Midnight Owl Lithium Project is a lithium pegmatite exploration project. The project is situated in a favorable location due to its historic mining of lithium, numerous pegmatite dike outcrops, and proximity to three gigafactories, approximately 170 miles away. The project spans an area of 4000 acres, or 196 lode claims, all of which are under complete ownership and interest consolidation. DIRT Exploration, a remote sensing geoscience company headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, completed an analysis using publicly available satellite imagery. The research combined Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR), Visible Near Infrared (VNIR), Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR), and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery into its analysis. LWIR analysis has the ability to map or identify mineral distribution over extensive areas through reflectance spectroscopy. Reflectance signatures captured on the satellite imagery are compared to databases of known mineral reflectance. The LWIR analysis can view mineral spectra at shallow depths due to its ground-penetrating nature and utilization of the long-wave bands of infrared radiation.
