About Petrolympic

Petrolympic is a Junior Canadian gold and lithium mining company with strategic assets located in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, Canada. The Company is presently focused on its gold properties in Quebec, including the Rayon d'Or and Belcourt assets, where Petrolympic has already completed several drilling campaigns, for a total of about 5,000 linear meters. These properties have significant potential to deliver long-term value, with documented gold occurrences and numerous exploration leads supported by geophysical, geochemical and drilling campaigns. Both properties are easily accessible by road, thus reducing significantly the exploration costs.

The Rayon d'Or-Vauquelin Property is in the midst of the world-class and highly competitive Val d'Or mining district, and is surrounded by major players such as Agnico Eagle, Eldorado Gold and Fresnillo. The Property hosts several explorations leads highlighted by proprietary magnetic, IP and biogeochemical surveys. Historical reconnaissance-scale drilling and Petrolympic's own drilling campaigns have already confirmed and outlined several of these leads, with results such as 12.74 g/t Au over 3.96 m, 3.83 g/t Au over 3.08 m and 2.14 g/t Au over 9.10 m.

The Belcourt Property, in the Abitibi region, hosts several promising leads highlighted by historical reconnaissance-scale drilling and by Petrolympic's own drilling results, including 6.96 g/t Au over 2.17 m, 30.00 g/t Au over 0.44 m, 1.49 g/t Au over 5.4 m, etc. Several significant gold occurrences are also documented around the Property, which is located along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits. The area is very dynamic, with Eldorado Gold recently optioning Gold Valley Mines to develop a discovery adjacent to Petrolympic's Property.

Other key assets include properties in the James Bay area (Li-1 & Li-2 - Lithium) and in Ontario (Evangeline Lake - Gold). The Evangeline Property is adjacent to the historical McMillan gold mine, which produced 60,138 tons Au. Within the Property itself, historical drilling revealed golds values in the range of 14.74 g/t Au over 0.91 m and 3.77 g/t Au over 1.52 m, and grab samples up to 123.75 g/t Au. Petrolympic has recently undertaken an IP survey over part of the Property, which delineated several chargeable zones that are likely responding to areas containing sulphides or disseminated sulphides.
