LNPG Project 43-101 (3/20/2017) - Interpretation and Conclusions 1. LNPG Project contains a system of Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum-type (LCT) pegmatite dykes with a strike length of 13 km. 2. “Sufficient grades to bring the rock to within economic values.” 3. Dyke continuity over a vertical range of 300+ meters demonstrated by natural exposure and past drilling. 4. Each “swarm” of dykes is up to 300 m thick. 5. Reliable channel sampling performed in 2016. 6. Careful measurement of dyke width and host rock intervals have enabled bulk samples to be calculated. 7. “Results such as 10.35 m at 1.13% Li 2 O, 71.1 g/t Ta 2 O 5 and SnO 2 are highly encouraging.” 6

Tule Valley Lithium Brine Project - Closed Basin What is a Closed Basin? ● Surface and groundwater flow into the basin and only escape by evaporation at surface ● Evaporation leaves behind minerals dissolved in resulting brines and evaporation pools Similar to Clayton Valley ● USGS calls the Clayton Valley, “the best known deposit in the world” for Lithium due to: ○ Closed tectonically active basin ○ Arid climate ○ Elevated heat flow, due to hot springs or young volcanoes ● Tule Valley has the same attributes Down Faulted ● Normal faults on both sides of valley ● Generates fluid mobilization from hard-rock Lithium sources 9
Tule Valley Lithium Brine Project - Preliminary Assays Sampling ● August, 2016 ● 4 water samples ● 13 soil samples (most collected at claim post sites located on exposed playa) Results ● Samples of actively evaporating briny surface muds are all anomalous in Lithium (over 0.01% Li) ● Samples as high as 200 ppm Li ● Each anomalous sample is: ○ Very wet ○ Saturated with salty brine ○ Contains salt and/or gypsum crystals Relationship to Water Table ● Sample locations are where: ○ Playa surface dips below current groundwater table (less than 1,339m) ○ Near-surface brines reach the surface ○ Form shallow pools ○ Brine evaporates Bottom Line ● The surface brines and saturated muds being anomalous in lithium is deemed encouraging for the deposition of near-surface lithium mineralization Exploration - Next Steps ● Geophysical surveying, particularly induced polarization to detect conductive layers beneath the playa 10
Gerlach Lithium Brine Project Property ● 89 claims, 720 hectares (1,780 acres) ● San Emidio desert, 5 miles from Gerlach, Wahoe Gerlach erlach County, Nevada ● 120 km north of Tesla Gigafactory #1 Why Gerlach? ● Nearby geothermal clusters with hot springs ● Large closed basin ● Gravity low / basin low with Pleistocene lake bottom ● Potential lithium source rocks ● Within ashfall deposition ● Ideal desert evaporation climate ● All weather access on paved roads ● Mine-friendly Nevada 2009 Sampling Program ● Detailed geological mapping and prospecting ● 146 samples collected (including blanks) ● Significant values of beryllium ● Anomalous values of lithium and uranium TESLA TE SLA Exploration - Next Steps Gigaf igafactory actory ● Geophysics and drilling to evaluate potential for a mass brine deposit Reno 11
