• Close to paved roads (14 kms)
• High voltage substation at
Grandy’s Brook (10 kms)
• Ice-free deep water port (35

Golden Hope JV – Kraken Lithium Discovery
A 50/50 Joint Venture between Sokoman Minerals Corp.and Benton ResourcesInc.
• Exploration for lithium in the CarolinaTin-Spodumene Belt (Piedmont Lithium); and at Leinster belt
(Ireland) has been conducted for decades
• First year ever exploration for Lithium on the mining friendlyIsland of Newfoundlandwas 2021
• Lithium deposits in these belts are known to formin multiple clusters
• Significant grades (up to 2.37% Li2O surfacegrabs) in pegmatite dykes sampledover a 2 kilometer X 1
kilometerarea – first drill holes returned 8.4m @ 0.95% Li2O on the Kraken Dyke and 5.5m @ 1.16%
Li2O on the East Dyke
• Over 60km of strike to explore on district-scale property (800 sq kms) which has the potential to host
many more lithium discoveries

Kraken Lithium Discovery – The new green future is fast
approaching
• How do we unlock valuefor shareholders of Benton and Sokoman?
• Possibilityof spinning out new pure lithiumcompany?
• A new lithium company would be more focused on advancing greenenergymetalsonly
• Easier to tap into governmentincentiveprogramsfor greenenergyinitiatives
• Districtscaleproject with massivepotential, the discoveryof new lepidolitezone12km NE is a testamentof
what’s to be found with future exploration
• Proximityto infrastructurecompared to most known discoveriesin Canada is a massivebonus to the companies,
