TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2025 / Grid Metals Corp. (TSXV:GRDM)(OTCQB:MSMGF) ("Grid" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received an exploration drill permit from the Province of Manitoba for its 100% owned Falcon West Lithium/Cesium Property, located approximately 110 km east of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Company plans to begin drilling at Falcon West in September.
The target at Falcon West is the Lucy South cesium zone that has seen historical drill intercepts with high-grade cesium values largely contained in the mineral pollucite, the preferred feedstock for the cesium chemicals industry. Grid's upcoming drilling will mark the first concerted effort to define a discrete cesium zone at the property.
Cesium is listed as a rare critical metal by both the Canadian and Unites States governments. The rare metal has only been mined from three deposits globally, and there is currently a global shortfall of cesium feedstock to supply a growing number of applications, including strategic defence applications and next-generation solar panels.
Robin Dunbar, Grid's CEO & President, stated "Grid believes Falcon West represents a unique opportunity for the company to advance a high-demand and rare critical metals project in southeastern Manitoba, in an area with excellent infrastructure. It is rare to find a critical metals project with such an attractive combination of resource scarcity and demand. Our goal at Falcon West is to define a cesium deposit of importance to the global cesium industry."
On Behalf of the Board of Grid Metals Corp.
