COMET INITIATES ADVANCED GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS AS PART OF ITS 2025 EXPLORATION PROGRAM

VTEM to be flown over key areas of the Troilus East Property

ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, March 12, 2025 /CNW/ – Comet Lithium Corporation (TSXV: CLIC) (FSE: 8QY) (“Comet” or the “Corporation“) is pleased to announce the launch of its 2025 exploration program at its Troilus East Property (“Troilus East Property“), located in the Chibougamau region of Québec. This year’s program will build on last year’s groundwork by incorporating advanced geophysical techniques to refine the exploration model and prioritize high-potential targets for gold and copper mineralization. The versatile time-domain electromagnetic (“VTEM”) survey will be conducted in collaboration with Troilus Gold Corp. (“Troilus“).

Vincent Metcalfe, CEO of Comet, stated: “With significant work planned on the neighboring Troilus project in 2025 and a strong backdrop of rising gold and copper prices, we see considerable potential for further exploration across our broader land package. The Frotet-Evans camp, in particular, holds significant potential for new gold and copper discoveries and remains a primary focus. This program is designed to refine and prioritize planning, evaluate promising opportunities, and unlock the district-scale potential of the area through continued exploration.”

Geophysical Survey

The geophysics program will include over 543 line-kilometres of airborne VTEM surveys across the gold and copper prospective zones, following similar methodologies used by Troilus Gold to successfully delineate high-grade mineralization (Figure 1).

As per public information disclosed by Troilus, Airborne VTEM surveys conducted by Troilus in 2015 over the main ore bodies showed a correlation with zones of high-grade volcanogenic mineralization. Historical electromagnetic surveys conducted in the belt do not offer the fine resolution and depth of investigation (exceeding 300 metres) obtained through modern VTEM surveys. The results of this survey will be integrated with existing datasets to better define exploration and future drilling targets.

Recap of 2024 Exploration Program

The exploration program identified three discrete gold-in-till anomalies along the interpreted geophysical structure, trending with the Parker Intrusion contact (Figure 2). Additionally, a cluster of outcrop samples returned gold anomalies ranging from 0.055 g/t to 0.224 g/t (Figure 3). Two of these samples were collected from foliated basalt with rusty quartz veins, while the highest-grade sample (0.224 g/t) was found in a gossanous gabbro. These samples align with the gold-in-till anomalies and may be proximal to the source of the gold-in-till anomaly down-ice from these outcrops. If the results from additional infill till sampling and VTEM surveys are positive, the Corporation anticipates defining potential drill targets for follow-up exploration.
