Root Lithium Project
The Root Lithium Project is made up of five recently acquired properties totaling 19,786 ha in NW Ontario in an emerging lithium district. Multiple pegmatites have been mapped at the project with high prospectivity for lithium exploration. The properties are located near subprovince boundaries – deep seated structures that act as conduits for fertile peraluminous granites. Lithium deposits in Canada are overwhelming located within 20 km of these terrain boundaries.
In May 2023, the Company will commence an exploration campaign, with the initial focus on prospecting, mapping, and sampling pegmatites.
Lithium One’s Root Lithium Project is made up of five distinct properties totaling 19,786 ha in northwest Ontario in the Red Lake Mining District.
Root South Lithium Property
Root South Lithium Property is adjacent to the Root Project, which is owned by Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1) who recently announced a 24,000 m drill program on their 2Mt McCombe Lithium Deposit averaging 1.3% Li2O. The Root South Property has several mapped pegmatite showings and has a limited lithium exploration history. The property is comprised of 3,570 ha in Red Lake Mining District with year round road access.
The Root South Property is located approximately 1 km from the boundary between the Uchi and English River subprovinces and underlain by peraluminous S-type fertile granites. The property is proximal to the Root Lake LCT pegmatite group and multiple muscovite tourmaline bearing pegmatites with significant dimensions (greater than 30 m wide) identified mapped on property by previous operators in Fall 2022.

Allison South Lithium Property
The Allison South Lithium Property is in the Red Lake Mining Division, 100 km east of Red Lake, Ontario with good highway and logging road access. It is adjacent to the Allison Lithium Project owned by Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1), and 40 km southeast of their Root Lithium Project. It consists of 58 claims covering 1,180 ha.
The Allison South Lithium Property is located 10 km from the terrain boundary between the Uchi Subprovince and the English River Subprovince and is underlain by the Allison Lake Batholith, a peraluminous, S-type fertile granite with multiple pink and white pegmatites mapped on the property and registered lithium mineral occurrences on trend to the northwest and southeast. The margins of the batholith have been identified by government mapping as an underexplored and highly prospective area.
Sharp Lithium Property
The Sharp Lithium Property is comprised of 3,225 ha in Red Lake Mining District with access to the project via logging roads. The property is adjacent to the Wesley and Hearth Lithium projects owned by Tearlach Resources who acquired the properties in 2022 and are waiting on results from grassroots field work conducted in Fall 2022.
The Sharp property is located approximately 4 km from the boundary between the Uchi and English River subprovinces and underlain by peraluminous S-type fertile granites. The property is proximal to the Root Lake LCT pegmatite group and multiple muscovite tourmaline bearing pegmatites with significant dimensions (greater than 30 m wide) identified mapped on property by previous operators in Fall 2022.
Dagny Lithium Property
The Dagny Lithium Property consists of 123 claims totaling 2,515 ha. The is located 8 km from the terrain boundary between the Winnipeg River Subprovince and the English River Subprovince and is underlain by peraluminous S-type fertile granite and metasediments which make excellent exo-contact hosts for fractionating parental granites. Pegmatites have been previously mapped on the property, and northeast trending structures mapped across the property are high priority to investigate as conduits for parental melts.
Adamhay Lithium Property
The Adamhay Lithium Property consists of 138 claims totaling 2,813 ha. The property is located 19 km from the terrain boundary between the Uchi Subprovince and the English River Subprovince and is underlain by peraluminous S-type fertile granite and metasediments which make excellent exo-contact hosts for fractionating parental granites. Pegmatites have been previously mapped on the property, and northeast trending structures mapped across the property are high priority to investigate as conduits for parental melts.
