Metalite Announces LOI to Acquire Advanced Stage Critical Metals Project and Launches $800,000 Private Placement

The Technical Report was authored by Neil Prenn, P. Eng. And Neil Pettigrew, P. Geo., who were independent Qualified Persons in relation to Silver Elephant under NI 43-101 at the time the Technical Report was prepared.

The magnetite, ilmenite, titanium dioxide and vanadium mineralization at the property occurs in a southeast plunging igneous body of gabbro to leucotroctolite composition in the northeastern corner of the Fall Lake complex. The Titan deposit is located at the northern end of an aeromagnetic anomaly that is approximately 1,200 metres long by 800 metres wide.

A total of 4,898 assayed intervals were recorded from 38 cored holes drilled by the prior owner of the Titan Project. Drilling highlights reported by the previous owner included (not true widths):

• Drill Hole RA-05-21 drilled to the depth of 200.0 m included
  • 0.27% vanadium (0.48% V ₂ O ₅ equivalent), 51.22% Fe ₂ O ₃ and 16.01% TiO ₂ over 142.0 m from 3.0 m;
• Drill Hole RA-05-10 drilled to the depth of 414.0 m included:
  • 0.26% vanadium (0.46% V ₂ O ₅ equivalent), 50.97% Fe ₂ O ₃ and 15.68% TiO ₂ over 172.0 m from 102.0 m;
• Drill Hole RA-05-09 drilled to the depth of 402.0 m included:
  • 0.21% vanadium (0.37% V ₂ O ₅ equivalent), 46.91% Fe ₂ O ₃ and 14.39% TiO ₂ over 188.0 m from 82.0 m;
• Drill hole RA-05-22 drilled to the depth of 302.0 m included:
  • 0.29% Vanadium (0.51% V ₂ O ₅ equivalent), 56.78% Fe ₂ O ₃ and 19.02% TiO ₂ over 118.0 m from 149.0 m;

Outside of the main zone where the resource of the Titan deposit was estimated, the Titan Project has two large geophysical anomalies, areas of extensive historical drilling and various unexplored target that could host other vanadium and/or titanium deposit of a similar size to the Titan Deposit within the lands that currently comprise the Titan Project.

Terms of the LOI

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Parties propose to enter into a series of agreements consisting of: a) an option agreement to earn an undivided 20% interest in the Titan Project (" Titan Option "), and b) an option to acquire all issued and outstanding securities of Cachee (" Cachee Acquisition Option "), whereby the shareholders of Cachee will become shareholders of Metalite (together with Titan Option the " Transaction ").

9. The aggregate value of all issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Cachee acquired pursuant to Cachee Acquisition shall not exceed CAD $4,650,000, which may be satisfied in cash or through the issuance of common shares in the capital of Metalite (" Metalite Shares "), at the price at which Metalite completes the Financing.

Metalite intends to announce further details of its plans to satisfy the condition regarding the completion of the Financing, including the pricing of the Financing in due course, which will be determined in the context of the market and announced by way of a press release.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Cachee has agreed to advance an amount of up to CAD $50,000 to fund certain operating expenses of Metalite as evidenced by a secured promissory note, which bears an interest of 15% per annum and is due on December 31, 2024.

Launch of Private Placement

Metalite announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement financing (the " Private Placement ") for gross proceeds of up to $800,000. The Private Placement will consist of (i) up to 14,000,000 flow-through units (the " FT Units ") at a price of C$0.04 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of up to $560,000; and (ii) up to 8,000,000 hard dollar units common shares (the " Hard Dollar Units ") at a price of $0.03 per Hard Dollar Unit for gross proceeds of up to $240,000. Each FT Unit will be comprised of one flow-through common share in the capital of Metalite (" FT Share ") and one common share purchase warrant (each a " Warrant "), and each Hard Dollar Unit will be comprised of one Metalite Share and one Warrant.

Each whole Warrant will be exercisable by the holder into Metalite Shares at a price of $0.05 per Metalite Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the closing date (" Closing Date ") of the Private Placement, subject to Metalite having the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to thirty (30) calendar days after giving notice thereof, if the Metalite Shares close for ten (10) consecutive trading days at or above $0.10 per Metalite Share. The Warrants are not exercisable until the shareholders of the Metalite approve the issuance of the underlying Metalite Shares.

Metalite intends to use the gross proceeds from the sale of FT Units to fund exploration work on the Titan Project to exercise Titan Option and net proceeds from the sale of Hard Dollar Units for general corporate purposes and working capital.

The gross proceeds from the sale of FT Units will be used by Metalite to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the " Qualifying Expenditures ") related to the Titan Project. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Units effective December 31, 2024.

Finder's fees may be paid to eligible finders in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations consisting of a cash commission equal to up to 8% of the proceeds raised under the Private Placement and compensation options (" Compensation Options ") in an amount equal to up to 8% of the aggregate number of FT Units and Hard Dollar Units sold pursuant to the Private Placement. Each Compensation Option will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Hard Dollar Unit at a price of $0.05 per Hard Dollar Unit for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Private Placement.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. Metalite does not expect that the Private Placement will result in the creation of any new control person of Metalite and remains subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange.
