Drilling Update

Of the ten drill holes collected, our team has successfully intersected the iconic Cadillac-Larder fault multiple times, revealing promising mineralization which underscores local understanding of mineralization patterns. The Cadillac-Larder Lake fault is a major structural element in the Abitibi greenstone belt, known for its rich mineralization and geological backbone supporting dozens of commercial mines in the region.

Sample drill hole OP-25-27 was completed at a depth of 171 m. Between 114 and 156.5 m, we intersected a fine-grained greenish-olive-grey rock. Serecite formation is present throughout, with localized occurrences containing fuschite and silicification pulses, slightly fractured except for a small area between 145.5 and 148.0 m, likely ultramafic, where two small shear zones are observed. Arsenopyrite is present at 1-2% up to 132 m, decreasing to trace levels beyond this depth. Fine pyrite occurs at 1-2% from 148 m onward, with local vein stockwork increasing to 15% from 152 m to 156 m. (see table below).

• 130.50 m As 795 ppm; Au 11 ppm ; Ni 643 ppm; Cr 2,475  ppm

• 143.95 m As 828 ppm ; Au 16 ppm; Ni 1,127 ppm; Cr 1,564 ppm

• 156.00 m As 354 ppm ; Au 8 ppm; Ni 458 ppm ; Cr 109 ppm

Conversion factor1 Part per million( ppm ) = 1 Gram/ton( g/ton )

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials such as drill core. XRF analyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source. The results only provide an indication of the amount of minerals present. Certified assaying of the core samples is still required to accurately determine the amount of base metal and precious metal mineralization.

ACME Lithium Inc. (CSE: ACME) (OTCQB: ACLHF) (the “Company”, or “ACME”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a purchase agreement for a 90% interest in 31 unpatented lode mining claims comprising the Cimarron Gold Project (“Project”) in Nye County, Nevada from Crestview Exploration Inc. (CSE: CRS) (“CRS”). The Project is a high grade, highly prospective exploration opportunity with a drill-indicated historic gold resource, and a second target area with mineralized drill intercepts that remain open in several directions.

ACME’s 90% interest in the Project will be acquired for aggregate consideration of US$149,000 in cash and 1,000,000 Shares (collectively the “Purchase Price”), delivered as follows:

1. ACME has paid CRS the sum of US$124,000 and will issue 500,000 Shares on closing; and
2. ACME will pay to CRS an additional US$25,000 and deliver an additional 500,000 Shares within six months of closing.

Upon payment of the Purchase Price in full, ACME will own a 90% interest in the Project, and CRS will own a 10% interest in the Project. Thereafter, ACME will be responsible for all exploration and development costs of the Project up to and until such time as it has received a Preliminary Economic Assessment pertaining to all or any part of the Project (the “Trigger Date”). Until the Trigger Date, ACME will have full discretion as to operations involving the Project, including any disposition thereof.

After the Trigger Date a joint venture will then be formed between ACME and CRS and an accompanying definitive agreement governing the same will be entered into by the Parties for further ownership and development of the Project (the “Joint Venture”), which agreement will include the following basic terms:

• Initial ownership will be held 90% by ACME and 10% by CRS;
• Each party will be responsible for its pro-rata share of expenses from and after the Trigger Date;
• ACME’s deemed capital contributions to the Joint Venture as of the Trigger Date (“ACME’s Contributions”) will be the aggregate amount it has paid toward the Purchase Price hereunder together with all costs and expenditures subsequently incurred toward exploration and development of the Project (with an amount equal to 10% thereof as administrative costs); and CRS’s deemed capital contributions as of the Trigger Date will be an amount calculated as: ACME’s Contributions / 0.9 – ACME’s Contributions;
• ACME will be the operator of the Project; and will be solely responsible for determining work programs and budgets, and will continue to have full discretion as to operations involving the Project, including any disposition thereof;
• Following the Trigger Date, any failure of a party to contribute its pro-rata share of expenses will result in dilution of such party’s interest; and
• At any time, ACME may acquire one-half of CRS’s interest, being 5% in the Joint Venture (to hold a 95% interest) for USD $500,000.
• The 31 claims are subject to a 2.5% net smelter royalty (NSR) being retained by Nevada Select Royalty Inc. on production from (i) 13 claims and any property within a one mile area of interest; and (ii) 18 claims staked by Crestview.

THE PROJECT

Located at the north end of the San Antonio Mountains in the historic San Antonio (Cimarron) Mining District, the Project is approximately eighteen miles north of Tonopah in Nye County, Nevada. It comprises 31 unpatented lode mining claims near the historic San Antonio Mine workings and immediately adjacent ground. The prospect has drill ready targets, subject to permitting, and offers a significant opportunity to establish a NI43-101 compliant gold resource.

Regionally, the Project is at the intersection of two prominent gold trends: the Walker-Lane trend which runs approximately NW and hosts a number of mines including Bullfrog, Goldfield, and Rawhide; and an approximately NNE trend of gold mines including Manhattan, Gold Hill, and Kinross’s “world-class” Round Mountain, which is located 28 miles away, and recorded over 15 million ounces of gold as of 2021.

Project Highlights:

• The Project includes an extensive historic record of drill results (190 holes), with high grade intercepts which included 11 meters of 4.46 g/t, 23 meters of 4.49 g/t and 46 meters of 3.94 g/t
• Past drilling outlined a historic gold resource starting at surface of approximately 50,000 ounces (1987 non NI43-101 compliant)
• The Project has good access near infrastructure and has a number of drill sites already built
• Mineral intercepts remain open in several directions
• The target is a shallow, low sulfidation oxide gold system with strong structural control.

Exploration by both major and junior mining companies from 1980 through 2004, including Newmont and Echo Bay, identified gold mineralization in three discrete areas in the immediate Cimarron Mine area.

Sampling of surface outcrops and underground adits by previous explorers reported gold assays from quartz-adularia-quartz veining as high as 107 g/t and 30.2 g/t (3.12 and 0.88 oz/ton, respectively). Table 1 lists examples of high-grade assays collected by the various mining groups (Bullion River Gold Corp., Feb. 2004).

Drill testing by Newmont, Budge Mining Ltd, Echo Bay, and Romarco demonstrated continuity of lower grade gold mineralization in three discrete mineralized areas at Cimarron, as shown in Table 1 and tabulated in Table 2 (resources non-compliant NI43-101). Higher grade gold intercepts were not uncommon or restricted to any particular explorer.

This resource is not considered to be compliant with NI 43-101 standards. Additional drilling with application of proper standards and check assays would be required to verify this historical estimate. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the estimate as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. ACME is not treating this historical estimate as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve.

In 2021, Crestview drilled 4 diamond core holes in the known resource area. All of the holes intercepted anomalous mineralization. SA-01 and SA-03 were drilled approximately 200 meters apart and each intercepted significant zones of gold mineralization which may represent a wide area of oxide, heap-leachable gold mineralization starting at or near surface.

Cimarron represents a high quality early-stage exploration project with a drill-indicated historic resource and a target area with mineralized drill intercepts that remain open in several directions.

CORPORATE UPDATE

ACME intends to complete a consolidation of its authorized and issued common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidated common share for each three (3) pre-consolidation common shares (the “Consolidation”).

On a pre-Consolidation basis, the Company currently has 77,972,727 common shares issued and outstanding. Following the Consolidation the Company expects to have approximately 25,990,909 post-Consolidation common shares issued and outstanding. No fractional common shares will be issued because of the Consolidation. Any fractional common share resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded up in the case of a fractional interest that is one-half (1/2) of a common share or greater, or rounded down in case of a fractional interest that is less than one half (1/2) of a common share, and no cash consideration will be paid in respect of any fractional common share rounded down to the nearest whole common share.

All outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants of the Company will also be adjusted by the Consolidation ratio and the respective exercise prices of outstanding options and share purchase warrants will be adjusted accordingly.

The Company believes that the Consolidation will provide the Company with greater flexibility for the development of its business and the growth of the Company, including financing arrangements.

In conjunction with the Consolidation, the Company will be adopting a new name subject to the approval of the CSE.

The Consolidation and name change are subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE). In accordance with the Company’s Articles, neither the Consolidation nor the name change will require shareholder approval. The record date and effective date of the Consolidation and name change, and the new CUSIP and ISIN numbers, will be disclosed in a subsequent news release.

ACME Lithium intends to complete a private placement financing of up to CAD$800,000. The CEO of ACME has loaned the Company CAD$180,000 to complete the Cimarron transaction which will be repaid from the proceeds of the financing.

ACME will retain its current lithium property interests for future development, and will focus in the near term on the advancement of the Cimarron Gold Project.
