ARBOR METALS ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Arbor Metals Corp. successfully closed a non-brokered private placement raising $420,000 through the issuance of 3 million units priced at $0.14 each. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.22 until May 21, 2029, with a 60-day hold period from closing. The financing was conducted under Canada's listed issuer financing exemption, making the securities immediately free-trading under Canadian law.

The proceeds will fund exploration activities at the company's flagship Jarnet lithium project located in Quebec's James Bay region, along with general working capital requirements. The project is part of a larger portfolio including the Corvette Lake and St. Pierre lithium projects, collectively comprising 83 claims covering approximately 5,606 hectares. These properties are strategically positioned adjacent to the Corvette-FCI property, where significant lithium mineralization has been confirmed through diamond drilling.

The financing demonstrates continued investor interest in lithium exploration assets, particularly those located in Quebec's emerging James Bay lithium district. Arbor's project portfolio benefits from proximity to established lithium discoveries and infrastructure, positioning the company to capitalize on growing demand for battery metals. The company also maintains the Kemlee Lake Lithium project, strategically located near Rock Tech Lithium's claims and the Georgia Lake Project, targeting spodumene-bearing pegmatites in similar geological settings.

The successful completion of this financing provides Arbor with the necessary capital to advance its exploration programs at a time when lithium prices and investor sentiment toward battery metals remain constructive. With finder's fees of $17,640 and 126,000 finder's warrants issued, the transaction appears to have been completed efficiently with modest costs relative to the proceeds raised.
