- Submission expected within the next 30 days -
VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 12, 2022 / Erin Ventures Inc. (TSXV:EV)("Erin" or the "Company"), an international mineral exploration and development company with boron assets in Serbia, is pleased to report that it intends to complete a Geological Elaborate within the next 30 days for submission to the Serbian Mining Ministry and its independent vetting committee, comprised of local mining experts. The approval of a Geological Elaborate results in the issuance of a "Certificate of Reserves" by the Mining Ministry, as the first of two requisite steps to receive an exploitation license.
Tim Daniels, President of Erin added, "It's expected that the new Serbian government will be formed in the coming weeks, as the result of an election held earlier this year. We intend to have our Elaborate ready to submit for approval once the government is formed, so that we can continue advancing the Piskanja project in a timely manner. Completing the Certification of Reserves process is the most important near-term goal for us, as we work towards receiving a mining license and advancing the project."
A Serbian compliant Geological Elaborate is a technical study which is of similar scope, content, and confidence level as a CIM compliant PEA. The Piskanja Geological Elaborate repurposes data and analysis from Erin's PEA, which was issued on June 24th of this year.

Cautionary note:
This press release contains or refers to forward-looking information under Canadian securities legislation, including statements regarding the timing of future mineral resource estimates, estimation of mineral resources, exploration results, potential mineralization, exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of operations and future production and is based on current expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties. The words "believe," "expect," "feel," "plan," "anticipate," "project," "could," "should" and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risks of the Business" in the Company's most recent regulatory filings which are posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no responsibility to update them or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances other than as required by applicable securities law. These and other factors made in public disclosures and filings by the Company should be considered carefully.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. "Inferred Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource reported in this news release will ever be upgraded to a higher category or to reserves. U.S. persons are advised that while mineral resources are recognized under Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. U.S. persons are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource is economically or legally mineable.
