Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 19, 2022) - Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB: ENRT) ("Enertopia'' or the "Company") a company focused on building shareholder value through a combination of our Nevada Lithium claims, intellectual property, & patents in the green technology space, is pleased to provide the following update.

After our recently completed field study on our West Tonopah project, we are in the final preparation for submission to the BLM of the Company's NOI (Notice of Intent) to drill. The focus of the planned 1,500 to 2,000 foot, 15 to 20 hole, drill program is multifaceted. Firstly, it is to confirm that the tenor and grade of mineralization encountered from our man portable drill rig is confirmed to greater depths, and over a larger aerial extent. The information gained will then be incorporated into our first NI 43-101 Resource report for the West Tonopah lithium project, which is expected later this year.

The Company also reminds shareholders of record, as of March 25th 2022, to ensure that they submit their proxy's before the 8 AM PST April 29th 2022 submission deadline.

As previously announced, on February 24th, 2022 Enertopia Corp. & Cypress Development Corp. entered into a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated February 23, 2022 (the "Agreement"), whereby Cypress Development Corp. will pay Enertopia $1,100,000 USD dollars and 3,000,000 Cypress Development Corp. common shares, to purchase 100% of the Company's Clayton Valley lithium project. Enertopia received $50,000 of the $1.1 million on signing the definitive agreement. The closing remains subject to the customary approvals and closing conditions for such a transaction.
