Update on Continuing Field Exploration Program at Brazil Lake Lithium and Rare Metal property
Lake Lithium and Rare Metal property in Nova Scotia. Three new primary
target areas have been identified, which are in addition to the known
North and South pegmatite dikes. The three new targets, identified by
pegmatite boulder float trains include the
Church Road areas. Several other areas containing pegmatite float have
been identified and will be followed up in later programs.
Field crews have recently completed an initial exploration program on
the Church Road target which is part of a systematic program designed
to identify other pegmatites on the property. Boulder surveys
indicated an anomalous area approximately 500 meters wide and 300
meters long. Spodumene bearing pegmatites provide good evidence for a
significant spodumene source to the north of the Church Road.
Spodumene bearing boulders are fairly common within this anomalous area
but more significantly, shards and fragments of spodumene are found in
the till along the road beds and skidder trails traversing the area.
The recently completed program focused on following the spodumene
fragments up-ice, back towards the possible source area. A series of
back-hoe pits were dug down to a depth of 4 to 4.5m and profile samples
of the till face were taken at one meter intervals along the pit face.
The till samples were then wet screened at -1/4″ and -1/16″ and counts
of the number of spodumene fragments were taken from each sample.
Results to date indicate that both the size and frequency of the
spodumene fragments increase with depth in the northernmost pits
indicating a source area nearby.
The field exploration program is expected to recommence shortly which
will include two months of sampling, trenching and prospecting in an
attempt to find the sources of the Church Road pegmatite float. The
program will include other targets at Army Road and
have similar glacial dispersion float trains.

returned Li(2)O grades of economic interest. More specifically, hole BZ-02-15
returned a weighted average Li(2)O grade of 1.47% over a true width of 12.53 meters, beginning at a down
hole depth of 30.9 m, and BZ-93-4 returned a weighted average grade of
1.27% Li(2)O over 20.9 meters true width, beginning at a down hole depth of 47.1
meters. These intercepts and others contain sub-interval Li(2)O grades exceeding 2.5%.

Other Potential Rare Metals and Industrial Minerals
Prior work on the
definition of valuable mineral or metal components additional to
lithium, and preliminary results show that potential exists for
creation of industrial mineral products such feldspar, quartz and
mica. The company is also investigating potential for recovery of
rubidium, tantalum and tin from the pegmatites. On
other rare metals contained within the
included rubidium (“Rb”), beryllium (“Be”) and tantalum (“Ta”).
Examples of the grades included Hole #02-15 in the lithium pegmatites
which returned values up to 1,398 parts per million (“ppm”) Rb over
15.3 meters including 2,625 ppm Rb over 4.2 meters. Hole #02-24 in the
lithium pegmatites returned Be values of up to 200 ppm over 35.8
meters, including 304 ppm Be over 14.9 meters. Also, hole #93-2 in the
lithium pegmatites returned Ta values of up to 102 ppm over 24 meters,
including 541 ppm Ta over 1.0 meter. (One parts per million is equal to
one gram per tonne)

to 31.3 ppm (g/t) and Yttrium (Y) with grades of up to 472 ppm (g/t).
Reported assays for Heavy REE’s include Terbium (Tb) with grades up to
20.3 ppm (g/t) and Ytterbium (Yb) with grades up to 31.3 ppm (g/t)
while reported light rare earth metals include Cerium (Ce) with grades
up to 459 ppm (g/t) and Lanthanum (La) with grades up to 1,300 ppm
About Greenlight Resources Inc.:
Greenlight Resources Inc. is a Canadian exploration company focused on
the discovery and development of Lithium and rare metal deposits. The
Company is currently focused on the 8,520 acre
located approximately 30 kilometres north of
Project. Drilling to date has successfully revealed two Lithium bearing
pegmatite dikes. In addition to Lithium, the dikes host several other
rare metals such as tantalum, niobium, beryllium, tungsten tin and
rubidium. Metallurgical bench testing to date has also revealed other
potential economic targets, including cosmetic grade mica, silica
chloride, aluminum chloride and rubidium enriched potassium feldspar.
