Hard rock lithium has certain advantages vis-à-vis brine deposits when producing lithium hydroxide, the key component for high energy density cathodes. In a market environment where the trend for electric cars is growing, the demand for batteries and therefore, bat - tery metals such as lithium, is expected to continue increasing making Rock Tech Lithium worth following this year. WHITE GOLD CORP. [WGO-TSXV; WHGOF-OTC] White Gold is active in the Yukon Territory, mainly in the White Gold District. This prolific mining area has seen gold discov- eries of over 7 million ounces since 2007 with Goldcorp and Kinross investing heav- ily in the region. White Gold controls over 21,218 quartz claims across 34 properties cover- ing over 423,000 hectares representing approximately 40% of the area, making the company the largest land holder in the district. The opportunity to discover multiple, million-ounce, gold deposits is certainly there as the company is led by an experienced team that has collectively been involved in every major gold discov - ery in the district. The company's Chief Technical Advisor, Shawn Ryan, is a famed prospector with multiple major gold dis- coveries in the Yukon totaling 7.5M ounces while Director, Robert Carpenter, has had his own success as a founder and CEO of Kaminak Gold Corp. that was acquired by Goldcorp for $520M in 2016. The company's flagship asset, the White Gold property, hosts a mineral resource estimate of 960,970 indicated and 282,490 inferred ounces of gold. The company recently acquired the QV gold property that hosts an inferred resource of 230,000 ounces of gold and is adjacent to its White Gold property. GREAT BEAR RESOURCES LTD. [GBR-TSXV; GTBDF-OTC] Great Bear Resources is focused on Red Lake, Ontario where over 30 million ounces of gold from 28 mines has been pro- duced. The company has two prospective gold projects, the Dixie and the recently acquired West Madsen properties, both of which can be explored year-round. Combining the two assets, Great Bear now controls 13,000 hectares of greenstone belts prospective for gold. The company's 2018 drilling program was successful with the Dixie Project confirming gold miner - alization along a 2.3-km strike of a 10-km target. The system at Dixie includes a high-grade gold zone that contains recent intervals of 16.35 metres of 26.91 g/t gold and 7.00 metres of 68.76 g/t gold and is open along strike and at depth. A recent Hinge Zone drill result returned 1,602.73 g/t gold over 0.70 metres at a 150-metre depth. Such mining potential caught the attention and investment dollars of Rob McEwen, who invested along with his affiliated company, McEwen Mining, $6 million as part of a $10 million financing completed in September 2018. Great Bear is now well-funded and has adequate capital to continue its ongoing exploration program, 30,000 metres in 150 drill holes, in 2019. SOKOMAN IRON CORP. [SIC-TSXV; SICNF-OTC] Sokoman Iron is a discovery-focused junior mining company with proj- ects in mining-friendly Newfoundland and Labrador. The company's primary focus is a strategic group of gold pros- pects in Central Newfoundland near the TransCanada Highway spearheaded by the newly acquired high-grade Moosehead Gold Project. The project hosts numerous historical high-grade gold intercepts including 21.19 metres of 9.28 g/t gold. Since acquiring the project in 2018, Sokoman has re- interpreted the mineralization resulting in multiple high-grade drill results including 11.90 metres of 44.96 g/t gold, 24.90 metres of 33.56 g/t gold and 5.10 metres of 124.20 g/t gold. The zone is virtually untested below a vertical depth of 100 metres. Sokoman's adjacent Clarks Brook Project has only seven shallow holes, all of which intersected gold mineralization including 3.10 metres of 3.74 g/t gold and remains
