AM Resources Corporation (“
AM
Resources” or the “
Company”) (TSXV: AMR)
(Frankfurt: 76A), a dynamic junior mining company focused on the
exploration and development of high-potential pegmatite deposits,
is pleased to announce the acquisition of a significant land
package totaling 1,500 km2 through map staking in Austria. The
newly acquired land is located in the Austrian Pegmatite Belt
within the Austroalpine Nappes, known for its geological diversity
and rich mineral endowment.

Lithium Exploration Country
PlayAM Resources has positioned itself to become the only
lithium exploration country play in a proven jurisdiction with an
existing Tier 1 lithium mine project1 and located within 620 km of
end users.
The AM Resources team has been actively
assembling a massive prospective land package with four key
elements at the core of its strategy: proven geology, proximity to
key markets, historical expertise, and a clear, proven mining code.
Of the few jurisdictions that qualified, Austria was the obvious
choice. AM Resources’ properties are located within 620 km
of 14 planned battery plants and have direct access to an
extensive rail system. Mining in Austria predates the founding of
the country with the world’s oldest salt mine in
operation2. In addition, mining has a tradition of skilled
labor and an extensive academic and geological service network. In
its report on the mining industry, Minlex (commissioned by the
European Union) concluded: “In Austria, operators have
investment security and legal certainty”3. When we combine
all these elements and add in the massive land package available,
the Company believes it has a unique investment proposition for its
shareholders.
David Grondin, CEO of AM Resources, commented:
"Seizing this unique opportunity in a proven mining friendly
jurisdiction was a no-brainer for us. We are very excited to have
assembled such a large, high value prospective property. We were
diligent in testing and proving our theory last summer when we
acquired two properties based on geological probabilistic
structures and went to the ground and found
spodumene4 on each one of
them. Following this confirmation, we have staked all
currently available claims that we believe to be of geological
interest in the proven Austrian Pegmatite Belt5.”
Within the new property acquisition, the Company
is excited to add the Frederick property to its portfolio with
112 identified pegmatites6
in an area of 52.25 km2. The
longest identified pegmatite measures over 750 metres in length.
This property demonstrates the exceptional potential of the
Austrian Pegmatite Belt. The combination of the number and size of
the identified pegmatites makes this property one of the team's top
priorities for the Company's next exploration campaign.

Property
"This strategic acquisition represents a pivotal
moment in AM Resources' growth plan and strengthens its position in
one of the most prospective mineral regions in Europe. This
acquisition fits perfectly with our growth strategy and underscores
our confidence in the mineral potential of Austria. The geological
diversity for other minerals and the presence of extensive
pegmatite systems provide exciting discovery opportunities. To do
so in such an overlooked, regulatory stable mining jurisdiction
makes it even more exhilarating,” added Mr. Grondin.
The Company has spent the last few months
building long-lasting local relationships with the government,
service providers and professionals and is looking forward to
carrying out exploration activities, continuing to investigate new
lithium discoveries made during the last summer campaign, as well
as exploring new prospective ground. In addition, AM Resources is
considering expanding its land position to further enhance its
strategic position.
New Land-Package
GeologyGeological surveys indicate the presence of several
thousand pegmatites variably distributed throughout the area. These
pegmatite-bearing units consist primarily of mica schist and
paragneiss, often containing staurolite and/or aluminosilicate-rich
layers, with protoliths expected to range in age from
Neoproterozoic to Carboniferous.
The spodumene pegmatites typically occur as
dykes ranging in length from a few tens of metres to over
1 km, with thicknesses varying from a few decimetres to
several metres. These pegmatites, together with leucogranites,
which occur as inhomogeneous bodies with pegmatitic and aplitic
zones, cover extensive areas of up to 1,500 km2. Their sharp
contact with host rocks, sometimes with narrow reaction zones,
underscores their geological importance.
This geological area has led to the discovery of
the Wolfsberg deposit with over 10 million tonnes grading in excess
of 1% spodumene. AM Resources' business model is to explore for a
deposit of this magnitude on its newly acquired properties.
Warrants ExtensionThe Company
also announces that it has applied for the TSX Venture Exchange’s
approval to extend the term of an aggregate of 13,155,000 common
share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”). The Warrants were
originally issued as part of a private placement that closed in two
tranches dated April 6 and April 29, 2022, respectively. The expiry
dates will be extended as follows:
