Consolidated Lithium Metals announces exposure of a new Li-bearing pegmatite at its Preissac Project and closes financing
TORONTO, July 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc. (TSXV: CLM | FRA: Z36) (“CLM” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of its summer 2025 exploration campaign at its Preissac Project (Fig. 1).
As part of the program, a trench measuring 100 meters in length, and 30 meters in width has been excavated in the area of a previously identified lithium (Li) soil anomaly. The trench successfully exposed an 18-meter-wide pegmatite body, confirming the presence of promising mineralized structures at surface. Following the excavation, a channel sampling program was completed. In total, 25 channel samples were collected, prepared, and logged in detail. All samples, including QA/QC samples, were sent to Impact Global Solutions Inc., (“IGS Canada”) for analysis. Furthermore, several previous Li showings were soil/bio-sampled again along lines across the predicted strike of the pegmatites related to the anomalies.

Preissac Property | Bio/Soil Sampling Program
The bio/soil sampling program, completed in April and June of 2025, used a 15m-by-15m grid to cover lithium and copper soil anomalies detected on CLM’s Preissac-Lacorne property during a property wide soil sampling campaign completed in 2022. In total, 279 bio and 252 soil samples were collected, prepared, and logged in detail. All samples, including QA/QC samples, were sent to IGS Canada for analysis.

About Soil Sampling
Soil samples were collected from the B-horizon of the soil profile in plastic bags shipping to the laboratory for geochemical analysis. The analyses were undertaken by IGS Canada in Delson, Quebec. Upon arrival at the laboratory, the samples were dried, weighed, crushed, and split into subsamples of which one 250g subsample was pulverized to allow 85% of the material to pass through a 75-micron sieve. The sieved subsample was digested in acid and analyzed using ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and SPF.
The Company implemented QA/QC procedures to ensure the validity of the sampling by using a series of field duplicates in each batch of samples sent for analysis. A review of the field duplicates indicate that the soil sample results are likely reasonably precise and accurate.
IGS Canada is an independent ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility (#889) by the Standards Council of Canada.
Dr. Andreas Rompel, Vice President Exploration, commented: “We are very excited about the newly discovered pegmatite and we intend to continue to expose it further. This is merely the first step in our exploration efforts at Preissac, which remains the least explored project area within CLM. Additional trenching is expected to follow to investigate the soil anomalies identified in previous surveys.”
Financing Close
CLM also announces today that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing of units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.01 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $300,000 (the “Offering”).
