MIDEX RESOURCES AND PATRIOT LITHIUM SIGN BINDING TERM SHEET ON LITHIUM RIGHTS FOR THE BERENS PROJECT

TORONTO, CANADA – November 2, 2023 – MIDEX RESOURCES LTD. (“Midex” or the “Company”) is

pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding term sheet (the “Binding Term Sheet”) with Patriot

Lithium Limited (“Patriot”) granting Patriot the right to earn 100% of the lithium rights on the Midex’s

Berens Project located 200 km north of Red Lake, Ontario (the “Berens Project”) in exchange for $4.6

million in payments of cash and shares over a three year period (the “Earn-In Option”). After completion

of the Earn-In Option, Midex will retain a 2% NSR Royalty on lithium minerals extracted from certain parts

of the Berens Project, half of which Patriot can buy back for a payment of C$1M at any time after

completion of the Earn-In Option. Midex retains gold and base metal rights to all Berens Project claims.

David Jamieson, Midex’s President and CEO stated, “We are pleased to have entered into this transaction

with Patriot which provides for significant upfront and ongoing value for Midex shareholders. Midex will

be able to access funding for both the Crescent Lake Project and our ongoing exploration plan in the region

as a result of the provisions of this Earn-In agreement and the associated Earn-In payments. We see

tremendous upside and believe our Crescent Lake Project can quickly grow to become a significant

permitted lithium project in the area.”

Midex will focus on its wholly owned 5,000 ha Crescent Lake Project, which hosts known spodumene

pegmatites. Drilling permit applications have been submitted for the Crescent Lake Project and are

expected to be approved in early January. Agreement has been reached with other exploration companies

and FN communities on winter road maintenance to access the Crescent property in expectation of winter

drilling.

Midex’s Crescent Lake Project is located adjacent to Green Technology Metal Ltd.’s (“GT1”) Seymour

project. Notably, on August 10, 2023, Green Technology Metals announced a goal of proceeding directly

to a Definitive Feasibility Study for the Seymour Mine and Concentrator to be delivered in Q2 2024. The

Concentrator site for GT1’s Seymour Project is envisioned to be located within several km’s of Midex’s

Crescent Lake Project boundary with GT1.

With this change in principal property, Midex will be updating its application with the TSX Venture

Exchange. The Company looks forward to providing an update on the listing process in the near term.

Midex continues to conduct early-stage prospecting, till sampling and geophysics on our other three

lithium projects at Allison Lake, Onion Lake, and Case Lake, all of which remain 100% owned by Midex.”


Key terms of the transaction are as follows:

On signing the Binding Term Sheet, Patriot will pay to Midex an advance payment of $200,000 (“Advance

Payment”) and Midex will grant Patriot a 60-day period of exclusivity for Patriot to complete due diligence

on the Berens Project and for the parties to negotiate a definitive agreement for the Earn-In Option (“Earn-

In Agreement”). The Earn-in Agreement provides for cash payments of $1.6 million, payable as to

$800,000 (less than $200,000 Advance Payment) on signing of the Earn-In Agreement, $500,000 on the

first anniversary and $300,000 on the second anniversary. The Earn-In Agreement also provides for

additional payments of $3 million in cash and/or shares, at the option of Patriot, $1 million after each of

the first, second and third anniversaries of the signing of the Earn-In Agreement. Each $1 million

anniversary payment will be calculated utilizing the 15-day VWAP up to a maximum of 7 million shares

(the “Consideration Shares”) per $1 million anniversary payment with the remainder in cash. The issue

of Consideration Shares is subject to Midex’s ownership in Patriot not exceeding 19.9% at any time. The

Earn-In Agreement will include standstill restrictions on Midex and its affiliates. Midex will also retain the

right to explore and develop Gold/Base Metal minerals on the Berens Project.

Favourable Lake Lithium Project Consolidation

The Earn-In Option combines a number of lithium-bearing pegmatite occurrences discovered by Midex in

2022 with the recent discoveries by Patriot on their adjacent Gorman Project, including a 5.2 km trend of

outcropping pegmatites that have returned up to 12.8 metres @ 1.3% Li2O. The overall lithium rights to

be operated by Patriot is now approximately 890 km2, covering over 70km of strike along the same

structure hosting the Frontier Lithium PAK Project.

The consolidation of the Berens Project lithium rights with the Patriot Gorman and Borland Projects

creates an exciting opportunity in terms of scale and potential and is a positive development for the

district. In addition to Midex retaining the mineral and development rights to all gold and base metals on

the Berens Project, Midex also retains a 2% NSR and will continue to work with Patriot to build strong

community relationships in the area.

Crescent Lake Spodumene Pegmatites

The Crescent Project is directly northeast and on strike with the Green Technologies Seymour Project,

which has the potential to be the first producer of spodumene concentrate in Ontario. The strategic

location of the Crescent Lake Project relative to the Green Technology Metals Seymour Project is shown

in figure 1.

The Crescent Lake Project covers an essentially unexplored 8 km spodumene pegmatite mineralized trend

controlled by a deep-seated structure along a granite/volcanic contact. Four spodumene pegmatite

bodies have seen limited historic shallow drilling (<35 metres vertical). All four pegmatites returned

greater than 1% Li2O assays and up to 3% Li2O from surface and drill core sampling.

Midex has recently completed a N1 43-101 Technical Report on the Crescent Lake Project (“Crescent Lake

Technical Report”) and will be posting this report on SEDAR in connection with its TSXV listing application.

Midex plans to conduct Phase 1 and Phase 2 exploration programs on the Crescent Lake Project based on

the recommendations in the Technical Report. Phase 1 exploration will delineate spodumene

mineralization in the vicinity of the known pegmatite exposures and continue with reconnaissance

exploration to locate new spodumene pegmatite occurrences along the Seymour-Crescent trend. A

diamond drilling program to test multiple targets will be part of the Phase 2 program.

Additional Targets at Crescent Lake

Crescent Lake also hosts what has been interpreted to be an Archean Molybdenum-Copper porphyry

deposit. The KM61 deposit is located along the same granite/volcanic contact as the lithium pegmatite

trend. An RPA NI 43-101 (see below) notes that the deposit is cut by a prominent east-northeast trending

shear zone up to 200 metres wide, and that shearing and formation of dilational zones may have

influenced the location of the KM61 deposit. Midex believes that the same control exists for the Crescent

Lake pegmatites, as Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum pegmatites are related to large fault systems. This provides

an area of inquiry for Midex in terms of discovering new pegmatite bodies at Crescent Lake. Midex has

recently rehabilitated the historic core yard in Armstrong, which holds roughly 40,000 metres of drill core

from the KM61 deposit and plans are underway to set up a core facility to rebox and relog selected holes

to investigate intrusive/structural relationships and locate potential fertile granites or pegmatites.

A National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report dated January 22, 2009 by David A. Ross of Scott Wilson

RPA Inc. (the “RPA NI 43-101”) based on previous drilling of 114 holes, 37,099 metres between 2004 and

2008 is referenced. The RPA NI 43-101 conformed to the National Instrument 43-101 Standards of

Disclosure for Mineral Projects and reported a historical initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the Main

Zone at KM61. At a Mo cut-off of 0.02%, a historical Indicated Mineral Resource of 66,600,000 tonnes

grading 0.053% Mo, 0.09% Cu and 2.6 g/t Ag, with a historical Inferred Mineral Resource of 38,900,000

tonnes grading 0.054% Mo, 0.09% Cu and 2.7 g/t Ag. The RPA NI 43-101 used drill hole and metallurgical

data available as of December 3, 2008 to estimate Mineral Resources potentially mineable by open pit

methods, constrained by rock type wireframes and a preliminary open pit shell. Blocks were classified as

Indicated or Inferred Mineral Resources based on drill hole spacing, interpreted variogram ranges and

continuity of mineralized zones. There are no Mineral Reserves reported at KM61. The RPA 43-101

recommends that a Preliminary Assessment to determine the additional drilling and/or metallurgical work

is required to complete a Pre-feasibility Study (Ross, 2009). No significant work is known by Midex to have

been done since the filing of the RPA NI 43-101 and a qualified person has not done sufficient work on

behalf of Midex to examine the property or review all data available. Therefore, Midex is not treating the

historical estimates as current mineral resources.
