Summary of the Transaction
First Option
The Option may be exercised by Jinhua acquiring an initial 80% interest in and to the Pluto Property (the “ First Option ”) by:
-
paying $118,324 in cash, common shares of Jinhua (each, a “ Jinhua Share ”), or combination thereof, at the sole election of Jinhua on the closing date of the Transaction (the “ Closing Date ”); and
-
paying an additional $118,324 in cash, Jinhua Shares, or combination thereof, at the sole election of Jinhua 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 will be subject to a restricted period of four months and one day.
Upon exercise of the First Option, Jinhua and Musk will be deemed to have formed a joint venture (the “ Joint Venture ”) on an 80% - 20% basis, respectively, and will promptly execute a joint venture agreement based upon the material terms attached to the Option Agreement. Jinhua will initially have a participating interest in the Joint Venture and Musk will have a carried interest in the Joint Venture until the earlier of: (a) exercise of the Second Option as defined below; and (b) termination of the Second Option. In the event the Second Option is terminated for failing to satisfy the conditions thereof, Musk’s interest in the Pluto Property will automatically change to a participating interest.

In the event the Second Option is exercised, the Joint Venture will terminate. In the event the Second Option is terminated, Musk’s interest in the Pluto Property will automatically change to a participating interest.
The parties will bear their respective proportionate costs in connection with advancing the Pluto Property. The Pluto Property will be held in the names of the parties jointly as tenants in common in proportion to their interests. Legal title will be transferred and held in the name of the operator in trust for the benefit of the Joint Venture. A management committee will be created to supervise and coordinate the development of the Pluto Property and to consider and approve operations plans and operating programs. Each party will have the right to appoint one representative to the management committee for each 20% interest in the Joint Venture held.
Jinhua, being the party with the larger initial interest, will be the initial operator under the Joint Venture. The operator is entitled to include in costs a charge for management supervision and corporate administration of the Joint Venture equal to: (a) 5% of costs for exploration work until a feasibility report is commissioned; (b) 3% of costs following feasibility to production; and (c) 5% during the period in which a mine closure plan is effective.
In the event a party has its interests reduced to below 10% through dilution by not participating in development and costs, the party’s interests will be reduced to a 1% royalty of the net smelter returns from the Pluto Property as and when produced.
General Terms
The parties anticipate they will close the Qualifying Transaction and grant the Option on or before March 31, 2022 (the “ Closing Date ”).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MUSK METALS ACQUIRES 100% INTEREST IN THE ALLISON LAKE EAST LITHIUM CLAIMS
FEBRUARY 1[st] , 2022, VANCOUVER, BC – Musk Metals Corp. (“Musk Metals”) (“Musk” or the “Company”) (CSE: MUSK) (OTC: EMSKF) (FSE: 1I30) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a property purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the highly prospective Allison Lake East Lithium claims, located in northwestern Ontario. The claims are situated within the recently mapped Allison Lake Batholith LCT Goldilocks zone that is a 5 km wide corridor containing spodumene-bearing pegmatites, spessartine-bearing pegmatites, rare-metal earth occurrences.
Musk’s third lithium project, the Allison Lake East claims span over 1,500 hectares in close proximity to multiple mapped pegmatites, situated 45 km northwest of the McCombe Lithium Deposit with an unclassified and non-compliant resource of 2.08 Mt averaging 1.3% Li2O (MDI 52J13NE00004). The McCombe Lithium Deposit has recently been optioned by Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1) as part of their Root-Seymour lithium asset which totals 12,022 hectares in the southeastern portion of the Allison Lake Batholith. Green Metals Technology has also acquired 6,968 additional hectares in their Allison Lithium Project asset which lies contiguous to Musk’s land package.
Musk Metals CEO and Director, Nader Vatanchi states, "We have added a third highly prospective lithium project to our active portfolio of Canadian lithium and battery metals assets. The Allison Lake East claims are situated in what has quickly become a recognized lithium and rare-earth metals district following large land acquisitions by Green Technology Metals. Recent field work by GT1 has provided evidence that the Allison Lake Batholith is living up to its expectations as one of the largest fertile peraluminous multiphase intrusion in northwestern Ontario and may be highly prospective for LCT-type pegmatites. Musk is currently planning a 2022 work program to establish high priority targets and sampling for pegmatite occurrences.”

About Musk’s Allison Lake East Property
The 2003 Ontario Geological Survey (“Breaks”) report described the Allison Lake batholith as the largest known peraluminous granitic body in northwestern Ontario. Breaks concluded that, “the Allison Lake batholith represents an important new exploration target for rare-element mineralization and is the largest such granite thus far documented in Ontario. This area has high potential for further discoveries of rareelement mineralization that occur in exocontact, metasedimentary-hosted pegmatites or as internal pegmatites within the parent granite”. The Root Bay pluton which is host to the McCombe lithium deposit of 2.08 Mt @ 1.3% Li2O (OGS OFR 6160) and is also an S-type peraluminous granite which appears genetically linked to the Allison Lake batholith (Breaks et al., 2003, OFR 6099).
Recent fieldwork by GT1 prospectors has outlined what is termed the LCT Goldilocks Fractionation Zone (LCT GFZ)(LCT=lithium-cesium-tantalum). The LCT GFZ represents a 5 km wide corridor that contains spodumene-bearing pegmatites, spessartine-bearing pegmatites, rare-metal earth occurrences and fractionation mineral occurrences (Figure 2). This supports the evidence that the outer edge of the Allison Lake Batholith contains a high degree of fractionation and provides the best potential for the discovery of additional lithium and rare metal bearing pegmatites ( Strategic Lithium Footprint Substantially Expanded (iguana2.com) . The Allison Lake East Property is well positioned within the LCT GFZ corridor (Figure 1).
Musk’s Allison Lake East claim block consists of four contiguous mining claims (75 cell units) covering approximately 1,520 hectares and is easily accessible via logging roads from the community of Ear Falls (see Figure 2).
