TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 19, 2022 / Avidian Gold Corp., ("Avidian" or the "Company") (TSX-V:AVG)(OTCQB:AVGDF) is pleased to announce that High Tide Resources Corp (CSE:HTRC) has entered into an option purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Clearcut Lithium Project (the "Property") located in the emerging Cadillac-Pontiac lithium camp in the Abitibi Témiscamingue region southwest of Val d'Or, Quebec (Figure 1). Avidian owns approximately 33% of High Tide Resources and through this acquisition Avidian shareholders have gained an indirect interest and exposure to the high-demand lithium market for the EV battery sector.

Avidian President & CEO Steve Roebuck states: "Adding the Clearcut Lithium Project to High Tide's project portfolio is a low-risk and potentially high-reward opportunity that further enhances the value proposition for Avidian shareholders. Lithium is in high-demand making Clearcut a natural fit alongside High Tide's Lac Pegma Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project that further diversifies High Tide's battery metals projects along with its flagship Labrador West Iron Project."
