NEW ENERGY ACQUIRES ROSLYN LITHIUM PROPERTY WITHIN THE GEORGIA LAKE PEGMATITE FIELD, ONTARIO

New Energy Metals Corp. has signed an option agreement to acquire 100-per-cent interest of 12 claims (254 cells) totalling approximately 5,100 hectares that comprise the Roslyn lithium property located 50 kilometres northeast of Nipigon, Northwestern Ontario. The property is located 20 km southeast of the Georgia Lake pegmatite field and 35 km southeast of where Rock Tech Lithium just published a preliminary economic assessment supporting the indicated mineral resource of 10.6 Mt (million tonnes) grading 0.88 per cent Li2O (lithium oxide) and an inferred mineral resource of 4.2 Mt grading 1 per cent Li2O.

Roslyn lithium project

The property consists of 12 claims (254 cells) comprising 5,100 hectares. The following salient features make the property a high merit for hosting lithium-bearing pegmatites:

• A muscovite-bearing granite is host to the property, an S-type peraluminous fertile parental granite, according to Breaks et al., 2003, and in contact with metasediments which make excellent hosts for pegmatites. Numerous faults transect the property, providing excellent pathways for granitic melts and evolving pegmatites.
• The Roslyn lithium property sits approximately 35 km southeast of the Georgia Lake pegmatite field where several lithium deposits and occurrences are being explored and developed by Rock Tech Lithium, Ultra Lithium and Infinite Ore Corp.
• Breaks et al., 2008, described the Georgia Lake pegmatite field as the largest concentration of rare element mineralization in the Superior province. The 32 by 105 km pegmatite field hosts 38 rare element occurrences and 10 spodumene pegmatite deposits and occurrences. Breaks added that further exploration is recommended.
• Several white pegmatites with garnet and tourmaline have been documented and mapped on the property by the Ontario Geological Survey in 1970 (Ontario Department of Mines map M2293). These are very good indications of fertile granitic melts.
• The property has logging road access from the Trans-Canada Highway 11.

Transaction

Pursuant to the option agreement, New Energy Metals has the option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the property from third parties by making four cash payments and three stock issuances totalling $2.3-million in cash, 1.43 million shares and $200,000 equivalent in company securities in accordance with the following schedule:
