VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 12, 2022 /CNW/ - Megawatt Lithium and Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: MEGA) (FSE: WR20) (OTC PINK: WALRF) (the " Company" or "Megawatt") has received initial results for Lithium potential at its Tyr Project in New South Wales, Australia. The tenement covers 100 units over an area of 299km²

A grab Sample in an ochre coloured, ferruginous, altered granite outcrop resulted in 520 ppm Li, 413 ppm Sn and 724 ppm Rb. Grab samples from old pit workings at an area called East Saddle Ridge returned 0.24 g/t Au  and 0.12 g/t Au. A further follow up 48 surface grab samples for lithium, silver and gold potential within Tyr have been sent to ALS Limited in Queensland, Australia for analysis. This month's follow up samples will be rock chip samples from outcrop and subcrop where quartz veining is noted in altered and silicified country rock.

A ground magnetics survey has been proposed for January 2022 over the Burra and Torny old Silver mines. Concurrently, extended sampling and mapping of the lithium and gold areas will be conducted once the 48 follow up assay results are returned from ALS Limited in Queensland.
