Stria Lithium Terminates Change of Business Transaction

OTTAWA, ON - December 8, 2021. St ria Lithium Inc. (TSX-V:SRA) (" Stria" or the " Company") and

Grafoid Inc. ("Grafoid") announced today that they have agreed to terminate the letter of intent dated July

6, 2021 which contemplated the licensing of Grafoi d’s water purification assets and intellectual property

by Stria in a Change of Business transaction (the " Transaction") pursuant to the policies of the TSX

Venture Exchange (the " Exchange"). Due to matters beyond the reasona ble control of Stria and Grafoid,

due diligence was unable to be completed and therefore the parties have agreed to terminate the letter of

intent. Grafoid has not yet completed the necessary a udits of its financial statements required for the

Transaction. Furthermore, Stria’s management believ es, given the drill results from the Pontax Project

previously announced on December 2, 2021, that termina ting the Transaction is in the best interest of the

Company and its shareholders.

Stria expects to resume trading on the Exchange under its trading sy mbol SRA, following the voluntary

halt the Company implemented on July 6, 2021 when the Transaction with Grafoid was announced.

Stria is also pleased to announce that they have retain ed Refined Substance Inc. (“Refined Substance”) to

provide investor relations consulting services to th e Company. Refined Substance is a Montreal-based

communications and marketing firm providing investor relations serv ices for the mining industry. Under

the terms of the agreement, Refined Substance will provide investor relations services, including press

release drafting and dissemination, responding to in vestor inquiries, and communications. Compensation

payable in cash to Refined Substances will be based on an hourly rate invoi ced monthly. There are no

performance factors contained in the agreement. The agreement is effective as of September 30, 2021 and

may be terminated upon 30 days’ notice. Refined S ubstance and the Company are arm’s length parties.
