Gurnee, Illinois–(Newsfile Corp. – April 20, 2026) – North America Lithium and Gold Corp. (OTCID: NALG) (the “Company”), a U.S.-focused lithium and critical minerals exploration company, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its initial on-the-ground exploration program at the historic Midnight Owl Project in Arizona’s White Picacho Pegmatite District.
A key outcome of this program was the successful location and initial field assessment of the historic P&G Beryllium Prospect, where the Company has begun advancing work toward evaluating a potential small-scale mining operation, subject to further field validation, permitting, and economic assessment.
In parallel, the Company’s field work highlighted the presence of a large, laterally continuous pegmatite system, reinforcing the broader lithium, gold, and critical minerals potential across the project.

Historic P&G Beryllium Prospect – Initial Development Focus
The Company confirmed the location of the historic P&G Beryl Prospect, a past-producing zone associated with shallow surface workings targeting beryllium-bearing pegmatites.
Initial field observations include:
- Evidence of historic surface disturbance and shallow pits
- Structurally controlled pegmatite-hosted mineralization
- Geological features consistent with beryl-bearing systems
- Favorable near-surface characteristics supporting potential low-impact extraction
The Company has initiated preliminary work to evaluate the zone for potential advancement toward a small mine permit application, similar in concept to phased development strategies successfully utilized in other domestic critical mineral projects.

Advancing Toward Potential Beryllium Production
Based on initial observations, the Company believes the P&G Prospect may represent a viable opportunity for small-scale, near-surface extraction, subject to:
- Additional surface sampling and mapping
- Shallow drilling to confirm continuity and grade
- Metallurgical evaluation
- Permitting and regulatory approvals
The Company views this beryllium-focused initiative as a potential pathway to generate future internal cash flow, which could support the continued advancement of its broader lithium and gold exploration programs at Midnight Owl.
Large-Scale Pegmatite System
Beyond the P&G Prospect, field work further highlighted a large, laterally continuous pegmatite outcrop, interpreted to be part of a structurally controlled system extending across the project area.
This outcrop is considered significant due to its:
- Lateral continuity across multiple zones
- Alignment with previously identified structural trends
- Association with mapped hyperspectral anomalies
- Potential to host lithium- and beryllium-bearing mineralization

Integration with Hyperspectral Targeting
The Company’s field observations are being integrated with previously generated LWIR hyperspectral data, which mapped widespread spodumene-bearing pegmatite trends across the district.
The alignment between:
- Hyperspectral anomalies
- Structural trends
- Surface exposures
provides increasing confidence in the identification of priority exploration and drill targets.

Highlighted zones show strong correlation between spodumene-bearing spectral signatures (purple/magenta) and a continuous structural corridor confirmed through field observations.

Beryllium Within a Larger System
The identification of beryllium-bearing zones within this broader pegmatite system reinforces the Company’s belief that the Midnight Owl Project hosts multi-commodity critical mineral potential, including:
- Lithium (spodumene)
- Beryllium (beryl)
- Gold and associated minerals
This combination positions the project as both a near-term development opportunity (beryllium) and a longer-term exploration and growth asset (lithium and gold).
CEO Commentary
“We are very encouraged by the results of our initial exploration program at Midnight Owl,” said Mac J. Shahsavar, P.Eng., Chairman and CEO of North America Lithium and Gold Corp.
“Importantly, we have successfully located the historic P&G Beryllium Prospect and have initiated work to evaluate its potential for a small-scale operation, subject to further validation and permitting. This represents a meaningful step toward potentially establishing a near-term development pathway within the project.”
“At the same time, the scale and continuity of the pegmatite system we observed in the field exceeded expectations. When combined with our hyperspectral data, we are seeing strong alignment between surface geology and district-scale structural trends.”
“Our strategy is to advance these opportunities in parallel – evaluating the potential for beryllium development while continuing to define and prioritize high-impact lithium exploration targets across the broader system.”
