EXPLORATION OBJECTIVE

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DISCOVER AND DEFINE PEGMATITES WITH

SUITABLE LITHIUM GRADE, CHEMISTRY AND THICKNESS; NEAR SURFACE

AND PROXIMAL TO GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE; TO SUPPORT A VIABLE

MINING OPERATION.

The Mavis and Raleigh Pegmatites exhibit:

1.) Good grade and chemistry; and

2.) Are well situated relative to infrastructure providing logistical advantages.

The objective of the current exploration programs are to discover a pegmatite of

suitable volume to be mined economically.

Rather than a single large 'standalone' pegmatite, smaller multiple pegmatites can be

combined into a unified mine plan.

SPODUMENE CONCENTRATOR (Example*)

A Spodumene pegmatite is basically a coarse

grained granite with environmentally neutral

attributes.

A processing facility to produce spodumene

concentrate from pegmatite is relatively simple

and significantly less environmentally impactful

with smaller zones of disturbance than other

types of mining operations.

The concentrate is shipped to a processing

facility off site for further refinement or sold as a

final product into the market.

* The projects presented herein have had NO economic analysis or report performed on them and NO development is planned or supported at this time.

ACLARE

• ILC Drilling extends strike length of Aclare Pegmatite to 550m

• Pegmatite intersection of 2.23% Li2O over 23.3m including 3.43% Li2O over 6.0m drill width (true thickness is yet unknown) reported.

* The historical resource estimate was completed prior to the implementation of NI43-101 and does not conform to any resource category as defined by the CIM Standards and Definitions for mineral resources and reserve estimates. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to verify the information regarding the historical resource estimate and therefore the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. Details regarding the historical estimate can be found in the issuer’s news release dated January 31, 2012.

20 metre wide pegmatite delineated at Aclare with a historical resource estimate of 570,000 tonnes grading 1.5% Li2O reported by previous operators.*

Property Wide Drill History:

• 69 drill holes for 4,493m at Aclare

• 32 drill holes for 1,481m all other areas

Highlights Avalonia Project significantly under-explored

AVALONIA LITHIUM PROJECT - MOYLISHA PROSPECT

HIGH GRADE BOULDER FIELD DISCOVERY

*Grab samples are by definition selective and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property.

4.59%, 3.45% and 3.27% Li2O grab samples*

The high grade lithium and extensive boulder

occurrence within such a small area

represents a highly prospective zone along

strike from a previously identified pegmatite

indicating a potentially sizable, yet to be

discovered buried pegmatite.

THE UNDER-EXPLORED NATURE AND PROSPECTIVITY READILY TRANSLATES TO THE ENTIRE PROPERTY

US$ 1M anticipated 12 month budget by strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium to continue to define and develop prospects project wide

Primary focus in 2017 is to trench high priority areas at Moylisha followed up by drilling.

Additional work to include:

Quantify and prioritize potential of other occurrences along 50km trend;

Further develop Aclare; and

Test and determine efficacy of new exploration techniques.
