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.

• 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
AVALONIA PLANNED EXPLORATION PROGRAM
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.
