Record Resources Clarifies Lorrain-Bucke Option at Lac Temiskaming

In This Article:

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 18, 2025) - Record Resources Inc. (TSXV: REC) reports it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval of its option agreement to acquire a key property in the Lake Temiskaming hydrogen camp, directly adjacent to Quebec Innovative Materials Corporation (QIMC)'s significant hydrogen discovery.

The Lorrain-Bucke agreement reported in a news release on January 14, 2025 has been clarified and revised:

Record Resources, as optionee, will issue an aggregate of 9,000,000 common shares to a group of arm's length optionors, namely Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd., 1544230 Ontario Inc. and QIMC. The company will also make cash payment totalling $90,000 payable in four instalments over a four-year period. The optionee can close on the acquisition at any time by paying to the optionor the balance of the cash payments due.

A 2% Gross Revenue Royalty (GRR) shall be granted to Gravel Ridge and 15444230 Ontario Inc. from the sale of hydrogen or any other mineral product from the property. Record may purchase at its sole option, 50% of the GRR at any time for $2,000,000. The revised option agreement was signed on February 22, 2025. No finders fees were paid.

As previously reported, the Lorrain-Bucke claim blocks acquired by Record are underlain by Huronian Group sedimentary and volcanic formations that unconformably overlie Archean metavolcanic and metasedimentary units of the Superior Province rocks. The Huronian Supergoup, in turn, is overlain by a thick succession of Ordovician limestone, dolostone and lesser amount of interbedded sandstone and local conglomerate. This is a geological setup associated with significant natural hydrogen resource potential.

These blocks are strategically located, between major rift faults in the Lake Temiskaming Graben structure, a tectonic feature recognized for its potential to host deep mantle-derived volatile-rich sources, including hydrogen. (See figure 1 below).

Furthermore, the claims' potential is further enhanced by the presence of ultramafic rocks exposed on the northern and eastern portions of the Rift basin in neighbouring Quebec. These units exhibit a distinctive magnetic response that extends into Ontario, which suggests the presence of basement ultramafic rocks at the base of the Rift basin. The issuer and its qualified person has been unable to verify the information and that the information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the issuer's properties.

Additionally, a prominent gravity low coincides with a large granitic intrusion mapped in the western Lorrain Township (see QIMC press release December 5, 2024). This gravity low anomaly is shown to extend westward into Lake Temiskaming and potentially marks the location of thick Paleozoic cover, which is a positive indication for deeper natural hydrogen resource potential.
