The Company has been provided access by several ope rators to wells and batteries for collection of pet ro-brine
samples to determine the concentration of lithium c ontained within. The Sampling Program is occurring at
multiple locations within the Company’s Metallic and Industrial Minerals (MIM) Permit area. After the samples

from the Sampling Program are expected to be availa ble within 6 to 8 weeks. E3 Metals would like to th ank the
operators collaborating with the Company in relation to the Sampling Program.
The Offering will consist of a combination of (a) u p to 670,000 Flow-Through Shares at a price of $.60 per
Flow-Through Share and (b) up to 1,000,000 Common S hares at a price of $.50 per Common Share. The
Company has reserved a 15% oversubscription option.
In connection with the Offering, the Company has ag reed to pay finders (“ Finders ”) a cash fee in an amount up
to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (the “ Finder’s Fee ”), to be paid at closing out of the gross
proceeds raised from the non flow-through portion o f the Offering. As additional consideration, the Co mpany
will grant to the Finders common share purchase war rants (the “ Finder’s Warrants”) entitling the Finders to
subscribe for up to that number of common shares eq ual to 10.0% of the aggregate number of Flow-Throug h
