Camino II claim, located in Salta, Argentina to NOA Lithium Brines
S.A (“NOA”), a private company based in Argentina, for total
consideration of US$1,200,000 to be paid over a two year period, a
1% NSR on the property and a conditional US$1,000,000 payment.
NOA will have the right to earn a 100% interest
in the El Camino II claim by completing the following:

- Upon completing
the cash payments, NOA will grant Aldebaran a 1% NSR over all
precious and base metals on the El Camino II claim: and
- If NOA includes
the El Camino II claim in a feasibility study (either by itself or
incorporating nearby claims) resulting in a construction decision,
NOA will make a US$1,000,000 payment to Aldebaran.
The El Camino II claim is a part of the El
Camino property (see Figure 1) which consists of two claims
covering 4,110 hectares and is located 380 km northwest of the City
of Salta, Salta Province, northwest Argentina. The El Camino claim
(northern claim of the El Camino property) is excluded from the
agreement with NOA.
The El Camino property had limited exploration
and drilling work completed on it during the 1990’s and early
2000’s by Mansfield Minerals Inc. and Teck Corporation.
Mineralization at the property is represented by hematite ±
fluorite ± quartz and copper oxides, mainly in hematite-rich
breccias, stockworks and sheeted veinlets hosted in felsic volcanic
rocks of Permian-Triassic age. All the known precious and base
mineralization on the property occurs on the El Camino claim, which
Aldebaran has retained. NOA has indicated that it will be exploring
for lithium on the El Camino II claim.

About Aldebaran Resources Inc.
Aldebaran is a mineral exploration company that
was spun out of Regulus Resources Inc. in 2018 and has the same
core management team. Aldebaran acquired the Rio Grande copper-gold
project located in Salta Province, Argentina from Regulus along
with several other early-stage projects in Argentina. Aldebaran
also has the right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Altar
copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina from Sibanye
Stillwater Limited. The Altar project hosts multiple porphyry
copper-gold deposits with potential for additional discoveries.
Altar forms part of a cluster of world-class porphyry copper
deposits which includes Los Pelambres (Antofagasta Minerals), El
Pachón (Glencore), and Los Azules (McEwen Copper). In March 2021
the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for
Altar, prepared by Independent Mining Consultants Inc. and based on
the drilling completed up to and including 2020. Aldebaran’s
primary focus is the Altar project with a view to discovering new
zones with higher-grade mineralization.
