Property Options & Staking Partnerships & JV

Vancouver, B.C. – August 4, 2022 – EEE EXPLORATION CORP. (“EEE” or the “Company”) (CSE: EEE) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a mineral option agreement dated August 3, 2022 (the “Agreement”) with Visible Gold Mines Inc. (the “Optionor”) respecting the MegaLi exploration property in the Province of Quebec (the “Property”). The Optionor is arm’s length to the Company.

The Property is comprised of a total of 78 mineral claims covering a total area of 3,996.67 hectares (40 square kilometers) adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals' project and less than 2.7 km south-south-east from Patriot's newly significant Corvette’s lithium discovery. The MegaLi project is also adjacent to EEE’s newly acquired Lithium Grande 4 project and located sixteen km south to the regional and all-weather Trans-Taiga Road and power line infrastructure and 45 km from the LG4 airport within the James Bay region of Quebec.

The Property is situated within the Archean Superior province of the Canadian Shield, which extends from Manitoba to Quebec and covers approximately 750,000 square km of Quebec. Within the region, the Superior province is divided into four distinct subprovinces based on their lithological, metamorphic, geophysical and structural characteristics: Opatica, Nemiscau, Opinaca and La Grande. The Property is situated within the central portions of the volcano-plutonic La Grande subprovince, proximal to the Opinaca subprovince to the south. The region is considered to have strong exploration potential for a variety of commodities including base and precious metals, and lithium. The Property is situated in the Langelier Complexe and Guyer Group -- Province du Superieur and is mostly composed of tonalite, granodiorite and granite. The geologic setting is primarily prospective for gold, silver, base metals and lithium over several potential deposit styles including orogenic gold, volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and lithium pegmatite.

Under the Agreement, EEE has the option to acquire a 50% interest in the Property by: making aggregate cash payments of $325,000 to the Optionor ($25,000 on execution of the Agreement, $50,000 on the first anniversary of the Agreement, $100,000 on the second anniversary of the Agreement, and $150,000 on the third anniversary of the Agreement); issuing an aggregate of 3,000,000 Class A common shares of EEE (each, a “Share”) to the Optionor (500,000 Shares on execution of the Agreement, 700,000 Shares on the first anniversary of the Agreement, 800,000 Shares on the second anniversary of the Agreement, and 1,000,000 Shares on the third anniversary of the Agreement); and incurring at least $1,850,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property (at least $350,000 on or before the first anniversary of the Agreement, at least an additional $500,000 on or before the second anniversary of the Agreement, and at least an additional $1,000,000 on or before the third anniversary of the Agreement). The Shares issued under the Agreement will be subject to a four month hold period pursuant to applicable securities laws.

On successful exercise of the option, EEE will have acquired a 50% interest in the Property and the parties will be deemed to have formed a joint venture for the purposes of the continued exploration of the Property. Under the joint venture, EEE will be the first operator on the Property and each party will be required to contribute its proportionate share of all Property expenditures or be diluted accordingly. If a party is diluted to a 2% or lower joint venture interest in the Property, then that party’s interest in the Property will convert into a 2% net smelter returns royalty.

EEE is also pleased to announce that it will be conducting a non-brokered private placement financing under which it will raise gross proceeds of up to $2,700,000. Under the financing, EEE will issue up to 15,000,000 Shares at a price of $0.10 per Share and up to 10,000,000 “flow-through” Shares (each a “FT Share”) at a price of $0.12 per FT Share.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the financing for mineral exploration and for general working capital. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of FT Shares will be used to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” (“CEE”) that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) related to the Company’s mineral properties. The Company will renounce such CEE to the purchasers of the FT Shares with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2022.

The Shares and FT Shares to be issued under the financing will be offered by way of private placement in each of the provinces of Canada and such other jurisdictions as may be determined by the Company pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The securities issued under the financing will have a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
