Full interval assay results were received from ALS Laboratories (Val-d'Or and Vancouver facilities). The 794 samples taken from the entire suite of the more than 300 spodumene pegmatite dykes intersected, ranging from 10 cm to 3 meters in core length (averaging 0.7 meters), in all 20 diamond drill holes. Results QA/QC protocols are outlined in the appended table with the main highlights summarized as follows for the Lamothe Showing and Project Drilling sectors:
Lamothe Showing Drilling
Several NW-SE trending surface occurrences of spodumene-bearing granitic intrusives or pegmatites were uncovered at the Lamothe Showing within a 300 metres by 200 metres rea. The main spodumene-bearing intrusive is at least 10 meters wide at surface and has been uncovered over a 25 meters length. The other intrusives run parallel and they all tend to be sub-horizontal. There is significant spodumene-bearing angular boulder field associated with the discovery trending further to the south possibly indicating additional spodumene-bearing intrusives in this direction. The average grade of the 19 grab samples from the Lamothe Showing was 1.06% Li2O, 1,441 g/t Rubidium, 75 g/t Tantalum and 72 g/t Gallium. Geophysical modeling on the Project has defined the 12+ km long Pivert-Stairs (Rare Metals) Corridor which hosts most of the Lithium-bearing intrusives on the Project, including the Lamothe Showing.
A total 9 diamond drill holes (PIV-11-02, and 13 to 20) intersected a 300 meters segment of the Lamothe Showing. The Lamothe Showing consists of a series of metric-wide pegmatite dykes located within a transition corridor between a 480 km2 syenite-pyroxenite intrusive body to the north and a mix unit of granitic gneisses, granites and amphibolites to the south. It extends in NW-SE direction for the full 300 meters surface length over a 50 meters surface width, to a drilled depth of 50 meters, and remains open in all directions to the north and east. Spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes extend for a combined linear length of 6 to 10 meters in a 30 meters (core) length shallow north-dipping zone, likely representing the true width of the Lamothe Showing. The estimated spodumene content of the pegmatites of the Lamothe Showing ranges from 3 to 10%.
Interval assay results range between:
-- trace to 0.63% LiO2 (Lithium Dioxide) over 0.2 metres to 17.8 metres core lengths with an Arithmetic Average ("AA") of 0.17% LiO2 over an AA of 4.3 metres; -- 25 g/t to 1,947 g/t Rb (Rubidium) over the same range of core lengths with an AA of 897 g/t Rb; -- 20 g/t to 64 g/t Ga (Gallium) over the same range of core lengths with an AA of 38 g/t Ga; and -- trace to 125 g/t Ta (Tantalum) over the same range of core lengths with an AA of 38 g/t Ta
Project Drilling
A total of 11 diamond drill holes covered a 900 meters wide swath across the Project covering the immediate extension of Critical Elements Corporation's ("CEC"; formerly First Gold Exploration) Pivert Showing (surface grab sample yielded up to 4.6% Li2O, 390 g/t Rubidium, 106.5 g/t Gallium and 1.4 g/t Tantalum) located 900 m to the northwest; Pivert East (surface channel sample gave 2.08% Li2O, 1,860 g/t Rubidium, 90 g/t Gallium and 159 g/t Tantalum over 1 meter) some 230 meters to the northwest; Pivert South (surface channel sample yielded 0.87% Li2O, 2,229 g/t Rubidium, 80 g/t Gallium and 169 g/t Tantalum over 28 meters) located 350 meters to the northwest; and Helico South (surface channel sample yielded 0.44% Li2O, 3,565 g/t Rubidium, 187 g/t Gallium and 196 g/t Tantalum over 116 meters) some 500 meters to the northwest (www.cecorp.ca).
Interval assay results range between:
-- trace to 0.15% LiO2 (Lithium Dioxide) over 1.2 metres to 18.0 metres core lengths with an Arithmetic Average ("AA") of 0.05% LiO2 over an AA of 3.3 metres; -- trace to 1,954 g/t Rb (Rubidium) over the same range of core lengths with an AA of 883 g/t Rb; -- 17 g/t to 61 g/t Ga (Gallium) over the same range of core lengths with an AA of 34 g/t Ga; and -- trace to 116 g/t Ta (Tantalum) over the same range of core lengths with an AA of 28 g/t Ta
The Pivert-Stairs Rare Metals Project
The Project consists of the Pivert East #2 Claim Block (33 claims; 1,750 hectares for 17.0 km2); the Lac Pivert West Claim Block (2 claims; 106 hectares for 1.1 km2); the Stairs Claim Block (43 claims; 2,282 hectares for 22.8 km2); and the Pivert East #1 Claim Block (36 claims; 1,874 hectares for 18.7 km2), immediately contiguous to and northeast of the Pivert East #2 Claim Block. The Project is easily accessible via an extensive road and trail network and sits less than 5 km from the Eastmain-1 Hydroelectric facility where substantial infrastructure exists. There is an access road to within 500 m of the Lac Pivert East #1 and #2 and Lac Pivert West Claim Blocks. A north-south hydro line straddles the Lac Pivert West Claim Block.
Earlier work by the Ministere des ressources naturelles et de la faune Quebec (Boisvert, 1989) describes the Property area as containing irregular but generally continuous lenses of pegmatites within the host biotite schists. Individual pegmatites can attain up to 60 meters in width and more than 100 meters in length, collectively forming part of a much larger bodies having kilometric lengths and widths up to 300 meters. Additional work uncovered a number of Lithium showings in the region with a similar metallogenic context to Lithium One's Cyr Lithium Property and First Gold's Pivert/Rose Rare Metals Property, where irregular but generally continuous spodumene (a lithium bearing aluminum silicate) bearing pegmatites occur.
Rare Metals Applications
According to the USGS 2010 metal reports, Lithium is used principally in ceramics and glass; electrical and electronic equipments such as batteries; lubricating greases; inorganic salts for pyrotechnics, hygroscopic uses, dessicants and propellents/fuels); air treatment and purifications; optics in mobile phones as resonant crystals; coolants in nuclear reactors; primary aluminum production; continuous casting; rubber and thermoplastics; and pharmaceuticals. Lithium ore grades vary from greater than 1% in pegmatites to between 0.05% and 0.75% in brines.
Rubidium is used in fireworks; in thermoelectric generators; laser coolants; electronic transmitters; lubricant in vapor turbines; vacuum tubes; photocells; atomic clocks and magnetometers; superoxides; and thermonuclear medicine and pharmaceuticals. An example of the Rubidium mineral resources grade is from Avalon Minerals Separation Rapids Project in northern Ontario, where Inferred mineral resources yielded 2,700 ppm Rb.
Gallium is principally used in electronic components which represented about 98% of the Gallium consumption in the United States in 2007 with about 66% of semiconductor gallium is used in integrated circuits (mostly gallium arsenide), such as the manufacture of ultra-high speed logic chips in cell phones, and about 20% is used in optoelectronics; multi-junction photovoltaic cells, developed for satellite power applications and batteries; photovoltaic compounds in solar panels; wetting and alloy improvement in glass and porcelain; thermometers; coolants; component in low-melting alloys; biomedical applications; and additives in glide wax for skis, and other low friction surface materials. An example of the Gallium mineral resources grade is from the Cordero Gallium Project in Nevada, held by Gold Canyon Resources Inc., where grades range from 52.3 g/t Ga in the Indicated category and 49.2 in the Inferred category.
Tantalum is used in the production of electronic components such as capacitors and resistors in mobile phones, PC's and automotive electronics; alloys that have high melting points, are strong and have good ductility; chemical reaction vessels and pipes such as coils; ultra high frequency electron tubes for radio transmitters; high refractive index glasses for camera lenses; vacuum furnace parts; shaped charge and explosively formed penetrator liners; watches; and orthopedic implant materials. Tantalum ore grades range from 200 g/t to 300 g/t.

Quality assurance / Quality Control ("QA/QC")
The core from diamond drill holes was transported by snowmobile from the drill sites to the JOURDAN core logging facility on-site at the Pivert East #2 Claim Block. There, qualified personnel logged, sample tagged and half-split the core in 0.25 meter to 1 meter intervals using a hydraulic splitter. The individual sampled intervals of half-split core are then inserted in tagged plastic bag, sealed and inserted in large nylon bags readied for shipment to the ALS Laboratory Group facility in Val-d'Or (Quebec). Blanks and duplicates were inserted in the sample stream on-site at every 20 core samples.
Once at the assay laboratory, samples are inventoried using the bar code tracking system, dried, finely crushed to 70% at less than 2 mm, pulverized split of to 85% at less than 75 um, and riffle split a 250 gram fraction for the various assays using the Acid Digestion Lithium Mineral Analysis (Li-OG63) for Li; Major Element Analysis Package (ME-ICP06) for SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O, Cr2O3, TiO2, MnO, P2O5, SrO and BaO; 38 Element Fusion (ME-MS81) for Ag, Ba, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Ga, Gd, Hf, Ho, La, Lu, Mo, Nb, Nd, Ni, Pb, Pr, Rb, Sm, Sn, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, Tl, Tm, U, V, W, Y, Yb, Zn and Zr; OA-GRA05 for Loss on Ignition ("LOI") at 1000 degrees C; and TOT-ICP06 for % Total Calculation.
