A.I.S. RESOURCES BEGINS EXPLORATION AT THE SALAR DE QUIRÓN, SALTA,

ARGENTINA

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 1, 2017 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX-V – AIS,

OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce that it has begun

exploration activities in the Salar de Quirón, (The “Chiron Project’) in the Province of Salta,

located approximately 10 kilometers from the township of Pocitos.

The Chiron Project is comprised of the following concessions

File No Concession Name Area Ha Environmental Study

Current

N° 19.457 Pocitos 1 800 Yes

N° 19.458 Pocitos 2 532 Yes

N° 19.463 Pocitos 7 800 Yes

N° 19.465 Pocitos 9 599 No

Pocitos 2,732 Ha

Environmental impact assessments have been completed on three of the four

concessions. The Pocitos 9 environmental impact assessment study is being completed

after which AIS will commence seismic and drilling immediately.

A VES geophysics study is being prepared by Quantec Geoscience Argentina S.A. to

cover the newly acquired concessions.

AIS has planned an intensive exploration program of sampling, mapping, geophysics and

drilling for the period December 2017 - March 2018 and plans to complete a NI 43-101

compliant study in the first quarter of 2018.

Previous Exploration in the Salar de Quirón

The 60-kilometre-long Pocitos salar basin has been previously drill tested with 12 shallow

holes in 1979 by an Argentine government agency. The most significant result from the

historical work programs includes a shallow drill hole, which averaged 417 parts per

million (ppm) lithium and 15,300 ppm potassium. However, AIS’s recent research suggests

that highly concentrated brines are at 100-350 meters depth.

Since 1967

AIS has completed research to understand the likely occurrence of lithium rich brines in

the Salar at depth. The research suggests that at least three adjacent salars in the region

of the Salar de Quirón have been exposed to significant tectonic and volcanic events

during the Proterozoic period “burying” previously existing salars at depths of 100-350

meters. AIS intends to determine the extent of this hypothesis.

In 2010, Li3 Energy Inc. announced the results of 46 brine samples taken immediately east

of the Chiron Project, with brine assays ranging from 300 ppm to 600 ppm lithium.

Millennial Lithium Corp. and Liberty One Lithium Corp’s August 2017 VES survey reported

encouraging results in the area of the Salar de Quirón near the Chiron project.

Marc Enright-Morin, AIS President and CEO, commented: “Very encouraging results from

nearby explorers classify the Chiron Project as having significant prospectivity. We look

forward to testing the hypothesis that highly concentrated brines exist at depth through

our upcoming program of geophysics and drilling. Our strategy is to fast track both our

Mina Guayatayoc and Chiron Projects.”
