Musk Metals Options Pluto Gold Property to Focus on Lithium Projects

October 22, 2021

OCTOBER 22nd, 2021, VANCOUVER, BC – MUSK METALS CORP. (“MUSK METALS” OR THE “COMPANY”) (CSE: MUSK) (OTC: EMSKF) (FSE: 1I30) is pleased to announce it has entered into a letter of intent dated October 22, 2021 (the “LOI”) with Jinhua Capital Corporation (“Jinhua”), a capital pool company (“CPC” ) as defined under Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (“Policy 2.4”) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), and listed on the NEX under the symbol “JCH.H”, pursuant to which Musk has agreed to grant an option (the “Option”) for Jinhua to earn up to a 100% interest in and to the 58 mineral claims that constitute the Pluto Gold and Base Metals Property, located in the Dolomieu and Daubree Townships of Quebec (the “Pluto Property”) in accordance with the terms and conditions as described in the LOI (the “Transaction”). The Option may be subject to regulatory approval.

Musk Metals CEO and Director, Nader Vatanchi states, “Musk Metals is focused on advancing exploration on its portfolio of highly prospective lithium projects. Optioning the Pluto Gold and Base Metals property to Jinhua, I feel will allow Musk to unlock the value from Pluto, not being reflected in its current market cap and stock price, while providing Musk with additional funding to further explore its lithium projects.” Mr. Vatanchi continues, “Recent surveys and sampling at Musk’s Elon Lithium property have revealed two new high-priority lithium targets corresponding to magnetic anomalies that will be further explored.”

Summary of the Transaction

Jinhua may exercise the Option by acquiring an initial 80% interest in and to the Pluto Property by:

• paying $116,055 in cash, common shares of Jinhua (each, a “Jinhua Share”), or combination thereof, at the sole election of Company on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”); and

• paying an additional $116,056 in cash, Jinhua Shares, or combination thereof, at the sole election of the Company on or before the date that is 18 months from the Closing Date.

Upon satisfaction of the payments set out above, the first stage of the Option will be deemed to be exercised and Jinhua will earn an 80% interest in and to the Pluto Property. Any Jinhua Shares issued in connection with the Option will be issued at the price of the Private Placement Financing (as defined below), or as otherwise required by the Exchange. All Jinhua Shares issued to Musk Metals will be subject to a restricted period of four months and one day.

Jinhua may exercise the Option to acquire the remaining 20% interest in and to the Pluto Property by:

• incurring at least $250,000 in qualified exploration and development expenditures on the Pluto Property on or before the fourth anniversary of the execution of the Definitive Agreement; and

• incurring at least an additional $500,000 ($750,000 in the aggregate) in qualified exploration and development expenditures on the Pluto Property on or before the fifth anniversary of the execution of the Definitive Agreement.

Upon satisfaction of incurring the expenditures set out above, the second stage of the Option will be deemed to be exercised and Jinhua will acquire an additional 20% (100% in the aggregate) interest in and to the Pluto Property.

If Jinhua exercises the first stage of the Option and earns an 80% interest in the Pluto Property but informs Musk Metals in writing that it will not seek to earn an additional 20% interest in the Pluto Property or does not satisfy the property expenditure requirements on or before the deadlines set out above, then a deemed joint venture with respect to the Pluto Property will be formed which will be governed in accordance with the material terms set out in the letter of intent and incorporated into a definitive joint venture agreement.

The precise terms and conditions of the Transaction will be contained in the Definitive Agreement to be negotiated and entered into by the parties. The parties anticipate they will sign the Definitive Agreement on or before November 30, 2021, and close the Qualifying Transaction and grant the Option on or before December 31, 2021 (the “Closing Date”).

The grant of the Option is subject to the satisfaction of standard closing conditions, including but not limited to: Jinhua’s ability to raising gross proceeds of not less than $400,000 in a private placement equity financing, or such other amount as required by the Exchange; and receipt of all requisite consents, waivers and approvals for the Transaction, including any regulatory approvals if required.
