CAT STRATEGIC CONTINUES TO INCREASE LAND PACKAGE AT GOLD JACKPOT; 22 NEW CLAIMS STAKED IN LITHIUM DISCOVERY AREA IN ELKO COUNTY, NEVADA

CAT Strategic Metals Corporation has announced a significant expansion of its land holdings at the Gold Jackpot project in Elko County, Nevada, through the staking of 22 new lode mining claims. This strategic move demonstrates the company's commitment to consolidating ground in what appears to be an emerging multi-commodity district with both gold and lithium potential.

The company reported two new discoveries of mineralization within the expanded claim area, with samples being hand-delivered to ALS Vancouver for professional assay analysis. This methodical approach to sample handling and testing reflects industry best practices and suggests the company is taking these discoveries seriously. The decision to hand-deliver samples rather than ship them typically indicates either time sensitivity or the precious nature of the materials being tested.

The expansion comes at a time when both gold and lithium markets are experiencing heightened investor interest, with lithium being particularly sought after due to the global energy transition and battery technology demand. Nevada's Elko County has historically been a significant gold-producing region, and the identification of lithium potential adds another dimension to the project's strategic value. The company's ability to stake additional claims suggests the area may have been underexplored or that recent discoveries have highlighted new opportunities in the region.
