E3 Metals plans on deploying the raised capital towards progression of its proprietary lithium extraction technology and corporate overhead.

The financing included a purchase of 1,000,000 Units for the sum of $400,000 by Comstock Metals Ltd. ("Comstock").

About E3 Metals Corp.

E3 Metals is a Petro-Lithium company rapidly advancing the development of direct recovery lithium brine projects in Alberta. E3 Metals holds lithium resources at 6.7 Mt LCE (inferred)1. The Company has a compelling competitive advantage by virtue of having access to extensive infrastructure built by the Oil and Gas industry in Alberta. This has provided E3 Metals with low finding costs, as the Company has been able to sample existing wells to define its resource. This infrastructure may also provide wells and pipelines for a future lithium production operation, potentially reducing the Company's future capital requirements. The Company's immediate goal is to scale-up its proprietary chemical concentration process, which it views as a key driver to enable commercial production of its Alberta lithium brine resources.
