Value added commodity to ILC

• World-wide market with continued upward trending demand

• Strategic way to invest in horticulture

• Necessary agricultural fertilizer (plant nutrient)

• Demand for domestic Argentine suppliers

• Few producers account for the majority of global production

• Highest potassium values reported in an Argentine salar

• No existing substitutes for potassium as nutrient

Blackstairs Rare Metal Project

8 Prospecting Licenses (totalling 292 km2 )

19 significant lithium pegmatite occurrences discovered in the 1970s 20 metre wide pegmatite delineated at Aclare House and a pre-NI43-101 historical

resource of 570,000 tonnes grading 1.5% Li2O was reported.

A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources, the issuer is not

treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

Blackstairs Rare Metal 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.

This under-explored nature

and prospectivity is readily

translated to the entire property.
