FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation may include statements which, other than statements of historical facts, may be considered "forward–looking statements“.
These may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its
projects, the future price of lithium or other metal prices, the estimation of mineral resources, the timing and amount of future production,
costs of production, capital, operating and exploration expenditures, costs and timing of development of new deposits, costs and timing of
future exploration, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, reclamation
expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations of insurance coverage and timing and possible outcome of regulatory matters. Often, but not
always, forward–looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "budgeted", "scheduled", "estimates",
"forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or statements that
certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Information inferred from the
interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward–looking, as it
constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. Although the Company believes the
expectations expressed in such forward–looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from
those expressed in the forward–looking statements. Such factors include, among others: general business, economic, competitive, political
and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities, actual results of reclamation activities; conclusions of economic
evaluations; currency fluctuations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; changes in labour costs or costs of
equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, including but not limited
to environmental hazards, cave–ins, pit–wall failures, flooding, rock bursts and other acts of God or unfavourable operating conditions and
losses, detrimental events that interfere with transportation of lithium, including declaration of Force Majeure events, insurrection or war;
delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities. Although the
Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those
described in forward–looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward– looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward–
looking statements.
Michael Collins, P.Geo. is the Q.P. as defined in National Instrument 43-101 and based on standards established by the Canadian Institute
of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), who has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this presentation.

Dana Brock, P.E., R.G., C.E.G.Consultant
Dana Brock is a field oriented Civil Engineer, Geologist and
Engineering Geologist. For over 30 years, he has performed
and directed investigations, designed facilities and supported
large scale construction and remediation projects. His
experience spans a broad range of projects in the U.S. and
ten other countries, including facilities development for
geothermal well fields (Calpine, Unocal Geothermal, Kiewit,
CalEnergy, Coso Operators); exploration, drilling and
resource management for low temperature and
mineralized waters (Sonoma Mission Inn, City of Calistoga
and 29 Palms, Crystal Geyser and Mendocino Mineral
Water); private and municipal water supply, distribution,
impoundment and disposal (Cities of San Francisco, Santa
Rosa, and Burlingame, Kendall-Jackson Wines and DeLoach
Wines); basin management and due diligence and technical
support for legal issues involving geothermal and oil well
fields, mineral prospects and underground construction
(Deutsche Bank, Florida Power and Light, Mission Energy,
Gordon & Rees and Los Angeles Metropolitan
Transportation Authority).
Dr. John S. Oldow, Ph.D.Technical Consultant
Dr. Oldow, Director of the Ellison Miles Center for Geological
Field Studies at the University of Texas, Dallas, was retained
as Technical Consultant to the Company effective June 1,
2016. Dr. Oldow’s will advance his regional geophysical work
in the Fish Lake Valley, to develop a geological model of the
Company’s 18,552 acre lithium brine project. Dr. Oldow’s work
includes geologic mapping and the application of
structural and stratigraphic analysis, along with potential
field geophysics, GPS geodesy and terrestrial laser scanning
to advance understanding of regional tectonics. Dr. Oldow’s
past geophysical work in Fish Lake Valley, including a
detailed gravity survey which defined historical gravity lows
in both the North and South Bowl Playas, as deep sub-
basins, was instrumental in directing the acquisition of the
Company’s South Bowl Playa property and optimizing our
current 13 hole drill program in the North Bowl Playa.
