May 21, 2019, Toronto, Ontario: Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSXV: JOR)  “Jourdan” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has staked 550 hectares resulting in the acquisition of a  22-claim property contiguous to the south of its Baillarge Property. The new claims are located  adjacent to paved highway 111 and are approximately 30 kms from the town of Val d’Or, Quebec and they surround the site of the former producing La Corne molybdenum mine. The La Corne mine was operated intermittently by Molybdia Corporation Limited from 1951 to 1972 as an underground mine. Total production during this period was 3,838,844 tons of raw material  at a head grade of 0.33% MoS2 (6.6 lbs/ton) and 0.040% bismuth (0.80 lbs/ton) (Source MRNFQ Report DPV 619).

Dr. Andreas Rompel Appointed to Board of Directors

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Andreas Rompel to the board of directors, effective immediately.

Dr. Rompel is a seasoned exploration professional with three decades of exploration experience in a wide  range of roles from VP Exploration and Project Manager to Country Manager and Corporate Development. Most recently, Dr. Rompel was the President & CEO of Cobalt Power Group. Dr. Rompel has also worked in a variety of commodities, including precious metals and base metals as well as coking coal and cobalt. For more than a decade Dr. Rompel evaluated capital projects within Anglo American and was on the board of Spectrem (an Anglo-American Company) as Technical Director. He has worked in many countries on several continents and has well developed multi-linguistic skills.

Aurbel Processing Plant Memorandum of Understanding

In  addition,  the  Company  announced  that  it  has  signed  a  non-binding  memorandum  of understanding  (“MOU”)  with  QMX  Gold  Corporation  (“QMX)  that  is  expected  to  facilitate Jourdan’s  investigation into the economic and technical viability of producing lithium from its 100% owed Vallee Lithium project located near and adjacent to the producing North American Lithium  mine  and  mill  (the  “Property”).  Upon  completion  of  a  technical  assessment  and satisfactory due  diligence, Jourdan and QMX intend to enter into a definitive agreement to process raw materials from the Property at QMX’s Aurbel processing plant (the “Plant”), located in Val d’Or, Quebec.

Pursuant to the MOU, if, as a result of the technical assessment, Jourdan concludes that the Plant  requires capital improvements to effectively process its future raw materials, Jourdan expects to bear  any such corresponding costs. If QMX is satisfied with its due diligence of Jourdan, Jourdan expects QMX to install, at its own expense, a suitable truck weighing scale at or near the Plant.

Jourdan’s President and CEO, Dr. Andreas Rompel, commented “We are excited about the memorandum of understanding as we view it as one step towards enabling us to process our future  raw  materials. The Aurbel plant is within 30km of our Property and we believe it is particularly  well-equipped for our purposes; any required modifications will be of a relatively minor  nature.          Hence,   we  believe  this  represents  a  positive  development  towards  our objectives”.

Additional Information

On July 17, 2018, Jourdan announced that it had extracted 50 tonnes of spodumene-rich material from the Property. This material was subsequently crushed to minus ¾ inch and stored in 1 tonne sacks.

40 tonnes of the bulk sample are at the Process Research Ortech (“PRO”) in Mississauga, Ontario, where it will be upgraded by flotation to make a concentrate. Previous work by PRO on drill core samples from the Property returned a concentrate of more than 5% Li2O (previously announced on November 6, 2014).

JOURDAN RESOURCES APPOINTS FRED LEIGH AS PRESIDENT AND CEO, MICHAEL DEHN MOVES TO VP EXPLORATION

Mississauga (Canada), August 2, 2018: JOURDAN RESOURCES INC. (the “Corporation”) (TSX-V: JOR, Stuttgart: 2JR1) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Fred Leigh as President and CEO. Mr. Leigh’s Corporate Finance expertise will allow Jourdan to accelerate its exploration and development plans on its La Corne, Quebec lithium projects. Several of the Corporation’s projects are adjacent to Canada’s only producing lithium mine, CATL, Jilan Jien and Investment Quebec controlled Quebec Lithium Mine. Michael Dehn will continue to spearhead exploration and development activities of the Corporation.

Mr. Leigh has been involved in the junior resource sector for more than 35 years and has had a significant role as founder, director and/or investor in many public companies. Mr. Leigh is also the founder and President of Siwash Holdings Ltd., a privately held company which, for over 18 years, has invested in early stage opportunities in the resource sector. Previously Mr. Leigh was CEO and President of Lithium One that was later merged with Galaxy Resources in a C$112 million transaction.

“I am pleased to be coming in to help accelerate the growth of Jourdan Resources for the benefit of all stakeholders,” states Jourdan’s new CEO Fred Leigh. “I am excited to join a Corporation with a strong technical management team with projects in the one of the hottest commodities globally, working in a very safe, stable and mining friendly jurisdiction.”

Jourdan is also pleased to announce that further to its press release dated June 12, 2018 and subject to receiving final regulatory approvals, it has closed a second and final tranche (the “Second Tranche”) of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) by issuing 466,667 units (each a “Unit”) of the Corporation at a price of $0.075 per Unit for gross proceeds of $35,000. Each Unit consists of one common share (each a “Share”) of the Corporation issued on a “CEE flow-through” basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada), and one half of one Share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Share on that date that is 24 months from the issuance closing date. The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund exploration expenditures on its portfolio of mineral properties.

 

The securities issued on closing, including any securities issued upon exercise of the Warrants, are subject to a four month hold period which expires on December 2, 2018.

Related Party Transaction

A portion of the Second Tranche constituted a “related party transaction” as set out in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as Maxime Lemieux, a director of the Corporation, has been issued under the Offering 66,667 Units. Accordingly, the part of the Second Tranche constituted to that extent a “related party transaction” under MI 61-101. The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to or the consideration paid by such persons exceeds 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization. The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the Second Tranche as it wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons and did not know when the transaction would be completed.

JOURDAN RESOURCES COMPLETES BLAST AT VALLEE LITHIUM AND SAMPLING TO MAKE CONCENTRATE FOR CUSTOMER VALIDATION

Mississauga (Canada), July 17, 2018: JOURDAN RESOURCES INC. (the “Corporation”) (TSX-V: JOR, Stuttgart: 2JR1) has extracted 50 tonnes of spodumene rich material from its 100% owed Vallee Lithium Project adjacent to North American Lithium’s producing Quebec Lithium Mine. This material has now been crushed to minus ¾ inch and awaiting shipment to Process Research Ortech (“PRO”) in Mississauga, Ontario.

Magnor Exploration Inc. managed all aspects of the sample collection and preparation. Samples are ready for shipment in 1 tonne sack to PRO in Mississauga where they will be upgraded by flotation to make a concentrate. Previous work by PRO on drill core samples from the Vallee Lithium Project returned a concentrate of more than 5% Li2O (previously released on November 6, 2014).

“We are very please at the visual appearance of the blast material and have seen spodumene rich material ranging from 10% to 70% visually in the rock. Once all the crushed material has been concentrated by PRO and customers have the opportunity to complete their own evaluation of the spodumene concentrate, we expect to be able to demonstrate that our own rock is on par with the concentrate produced by Canada’s only lithium mine, North American Lithium’s Quebec Lithium Mine,” states Jourdan’s CEO Michael Dehn.

The current phase of field work should be completed shortly, and an exploration update will be issued with the Company’s findings while we await assay results.

Photos and videos of the blast area and crushing will be available on The Company’s website.

Roger Ouellet, P. Geo., and Jean-Paul Barrette P. Geo, both Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101, have reviewed, and approved the technical information in this press release. Both were also present in the field at during the sample collection.

(the “Corporation”) (TSX-V NEX: JOR.H) is looking forward to meet shareholders at its annual and special meeting of shareholder being held today at 65 Queen Street West, Suite 805, Toronto, Ontario Canada M5H 2M5 at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time).

Jourdan is also pleased to announce that further to its press release dated March 1, 2018 and subject to receiving final regulatory approvals, it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) by issuing 12,313,332 units (each a “Unit”) of the Corporation at a price of $0.06 per Unit; and 8,870,000 common shares (each a “Share”) of the Corporation issued on a “CEE flow-through” basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each a “FT Share”) at a price of $0.075 per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,404,049.92 (the “First Tranche”).

Each Unit consists of one Share and one Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Share on that date that is 24 months from the issuance closing date.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund exploration expenditures on its portfolio of mineral properties and for general working capital.

Related Party Transaction

A portion of the First Tranche constituted a “related party transaction” as set out in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as Michael Dehn, President, CEO and director of the Corporation, has been issued through Avanti Management & Consulting Limited, under the Offering 1,000,000 Units. Accordingly, the part of the First Tranche constituted to that extent a “related party transaction” under MI 61-101. The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to or the consideration paid by such persons exceeds 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization. The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the First Tranche as it wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons and did not know when the transaction would be completed.

Mississauga (Canada), June 6, 2018: JOURDAN RESOURCES INC. (the “Corporation”) (TSX-V NEX: JOR.H) is pleased to announce that, further to its March 1, 2018 press release, a first tranche of the Offering will be closed on June 11, 2018.

In preparation of the upcoming shareholders meeting, schedule for June 12, 2018, the Corporation is also pleased to provide additional information on the previously announced non-arm’s length assignment agreement (the “Agreement”) made effective August 9, 2017, with Fairmont Resources Inc. (“Fairmont”) and Frédéric Bergeron (“FB”), wherein Fairmont agreed to assign and transfer its interest in an option agreement (the “Option”) to acquire 100% of all right, title and interest in the Rome Lithium property (the “Property”), subject to 2% production royalty in favor of FB of which 1% can be redeemed by the Corporation for a cash payment of $1,000,000, to the Corporation, and the Corporation agreed to purchase such Option from Fairmont on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement (the “Acquisition”).

The consideration payable by the Corporation in order to acquire the Option, in addition to the $25,000 already paid pursuant to the right of first refusal agreement between the Corporation and Fairmont dated June 22, 2017, consists of a payment of $50,000 in cash, 1,500,000 common shares of the Corporation (each a “Share”) and a 2% net smelter return royalty of which 1% can be redeemed by the Corporation for a cash payment of $1,000,000. In addition, the Corporation is required to incur an aggregate of $150,000 in work expenditure on the Property; on or before June 10, 2019. The Corporation would have 37,723,112 Shares issued and outstanding after the issuance of the 1,500,000 Shares upon closing of the Acquisition.

The policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) requires that the Acquisition be approved by the disinterested shareholders of Corporation pursuant to section 5.7(k) of Exchange Policy 5.3 (“Policy 5.3”) as it is a non-arm’s length transaction without satisfactory evidence of value, and accordingly the 3,977,080 common share of the Corporation, beneficially own or controlled by Mr. Michael Dehn, who was president, CEO and director of the Corporation and Fairmont when the Agreement was entered into, representing 11.1% of the issued and outstanding Shares, will be excluded from the shareholders’ approval resolution.

Jordan Resources Expects Global Interest with China’s CATL Battery’s $66 million Investment In North American Lithium

Download the PDF

Mississauga (Canada), March 4, 2018: JOURDAN RESOURCES INC. (the “Corporation”) (TSX-V : JOR, Stuttgart: 2JR1) is pleased congratulate James Xiang and his team at North American Lithium for attracting the investment from the largest Chinese automotive battery manufacturer CATL Battery. On March 3, Jilin Jien Nickel Co. Ltd., announced the investment by CATL into North American Lithium, of $50 million in new equity and $16 million in convertible debt. North American Lithium’s Quebec Lithium Mine is the only currently producing lithium mine in Canada.

Jourdan Resources welcomes China’s CATL Battery’s (commonly referred to as China’s “Tesla”) $66 million investment into North American Lithium. Jourdan has a large geologically similar set of claims that virtually surround North American Lithium (see map of September 15, 2017 –  https://goo.gl/RKcCMj )

Livio Filice, global lithium expert comments on the development, “The investment from CATL confirms that large end users of lithium chemicals are still searching to secure lithium supply which is a clear indication that the market will remain tight. Significant Chinese investment continues to be deployed into battery manufacturing capacity to meet emerging demand for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage applications. It is critical for these manufacturers to secure supply for these assets to ensure a successful ramp-up over the next years. It is in my opinion, that Jourdan Resources is well positioned to benefit from growing foreign investment interest into the region. The CATL investment now places Jourdan Resources on the global stage as their land packages straddle that of North American Lithium.”

CATL Battery is in the process of completing and initial public offering that would see it raise $2 billion and have an initial valuation of $20 billion. CATL is working with both BMW and VW in Germany on electric car batteries, systems, and new technology.

Michael Dehn, President and CEO of Jourdan Resources states “Quebec’s lithium endowment has just received a huge endorsement from the investment by CATL Battery. Jourdan’s location around North American Lithium and in the La Corne intrusive are attractive targets for new lithium deposits as well as extensions to the open pit of the Quebec Lithium Mine to east and west where mineralization extends onto Jourdan’s West Lithium and Vallee Lithium Properties.”
