July 26, 2016 – Toronto, Ontario – Matica Enterprises Inc. (MMJ–CSE) (39N – Frankfurt) (MQPXF – OTC PINK) (“Matica” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Company has sold its interest in both Nevada lithium projects, the Elon and the McGee lithium projects, to a private British Columbia corporation (“Privateco”) for shares in said company. Privateco has been purchased in its entirety by Spearmint Resources Inc. (TSXV – SRJ) (“Spearmint”). Matica’s subsidiary, Ravenline Explorations Ltd., is receiving 4.7 million shares of Spearmint for its portion Privateco. The Company is pleased to report that it will continue to hold a two per cent (2%) NSR on the Elon lithium project, which Spearmint may purchase one per cent (1%) of, for USD$500,000.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale to review new projects and to complete exploration programs on its highly prospective graphite properties north of Reno, Nevada and for general working capital. Previous exploration on the GL and Crow claims demonstrated the presence of flake graphite in concentrations up to seven percent (7% CG) in areas controlled by the Company (see NR July 20, 2015). The work programs conducted by the Company reported the first known flake graphite documented at the time in this region. Mapping and sampling confirmed three distinct target zones in the area, all with confirmed presence of flake graphite. Flake graphite is the chief component of Lithium-Ion batteries which contain approximately ten times more graphite than lithium.
