MONT ROYAL RAISES A$2.209M TO ADVANCE JAMES BAY
LITHIUM EXPLORATION STRAGEY
HIGHLIGHTS
▪
Mont Royal raises $2.209m in strongly supported placement to institutional and
sophisticated investors
▪
Funds will be used to expand the ongoing Lithium Exploration program underway at
Bohier and Eastmain-Léran projects and to commence a lithium exploration program at
Wapatik
Mont Royal Resources Limited (“Mont Royal”, the “Company”) (ASX:MRZ) is pleased to announce
that the Company has received firm commitments to raise A$2.209m (before costs) via a placement
to institutional and sophisticated investors to advance the Northern Lights projects in the Upper
Eastmain Greenstone Belt located in Quebec, Canada.
The commitments to raise this capital were provided via a share placement to institutional and
sophisticated investors at $0.16 per share (“New Shares”).
The proceeds from the placement will further strengthen the balance sheet, allowing Mont Royal
to advance the dual focused exploration of the Bohier and Eastmain Léran projects by expanding
the breadth of its prospecting program. This may include excavation/trenching to gauge the scale
and size of outcropping features highlighted by the recent LIDAR survey (see ASX release 20th July
2023); expanded soil and rock chip sampling; and ranking and prioritising drill ready targets in the
Autumn/Fall exploration season.
The proceeds from the placement will also enable the Company to commence a helicopter
supported lithium prospecting program across a number of pre-defined pegmatite dyke formations
at its Wapatik Project. These target areas have been determined from visible air imagery
accompanied by property scale till sampling programs carried out in 2021. The exploration at
Wapatik is due to commence once exploration service providers return to this specific part of the
region following the shutdown of activities due to recent wildfires.

Mont Royal Executive Director, Peter Ruse, commented: “We are pleased to have
successfully completed the Placement to raise $2.209m to further advance the ongoing
exploration at Northern Lights and commence a lithium program at Wapatik in the near term. The
Board of Mont Royal appreciates the support from existing shareholders and welcomes all new
shareholders to the register. The Company sits with a vast package of ground 651sq km across
the upper and lower Eastmain Greenstone belts in James Bay, Quebec. While our ground has
never been explored for lithium, early results from our helicopter supported prospecting are
promising.”
Next steps
The Company intends to expedite assay of results collected from the current campaign underway
at Bohier and Eastmain Léran to delineate to the extent they are spodumene bearing, as well as
further using data gained from the high-resolution LIDAR aerial imagery and magnetics to define
high quality targets. Diamond drilling will be utilised on the targets identified from the mapping and
geochemical sampling. This program to be led by IOS Services Geoscientifiques technical team.
