TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 2, 2023 / Metalite Resources Inc. (CSE:METL)(OTC PINK:JNCCF)(Frankfurt:5VHA) ("Metalite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its new exploration strategy after completion of its recent acquisition of Next Generation Resources ("NextGen"). The NextGen acquisition provides Metalite with immediate access to an extensive portfolio of properties covering 3,233 square kilometres which are prospective for lithium, and other rare earth elements (REEs) in Liberia, West Africa. In addition, Metalite has acquired NextGen's team of professionals with over 15 years' experience in Liberia and access to a fully functional base of operations in Monrovia including geological, logistical, financial and administrative teams to support the Company's exploration programs. The geological team has the capacity and capability to complete cost-effective evaluations and acquire additional licenses with demonstrated potential.

Mr. Dave Melling, Metalite's CEO commented "The acquisition of NextGen is an important step in building shareholder value. In one transaction the Company has acquired 7 reconnaissance licences prospective for battery metals, as well as the personnel and infrastructure to complete the exploration work. The global demand for lithium is steadily increasing and pushing the price of lithium carbonate to new highs. Lithium consumption is expected to rise exponentially over the coming decade, largely driven by consumer demand for electric vehicles, and the growing shift towards renewable sources of energy."

Dave Melling and Efdal Olcer Metalite's VP Exploration have just completed 3-weeks of reconnaissance field work covering all 7 of the Company's mineral licences in Liberia. The primary goal of this work was to develop an exploration plan and budget for the remainder of 2023. The envisaged exploration program will include up to 15,000 soils samples and 1,000 stream sediment samples in concert with geologic mapping, prospecting, and rock sampling. A key element of the program will be mapping all artisanal mining sites with emphasis placed on Coltan, a niobium-tantalum mineral commonly associated with LCT Pegmatites and gold. The sampling programs will be initiated in June and should be completed by December 2023. The results of this work will define targets for follow up work which will include trenching and drilling programs in 2023.
