integrated lithium company with the largest land position in the Electric Avenue, a premium lithium
mineral district located in the Great Lakes region of northern
Ontario
. The company maintains 100%
ownership in the PAK Lithium Project which contains
North America's
highest-grade, large tonnage
hard-rock lithium resource in the form of a rare low-iron spodumene. The Project also has significant
upside exploration potential to further increase the lithium resource. Frontier is a pre-production
business that is targeting the manufacturing of battery quality lithium chemicals in the Great Lakes

About the PAK Lithium Project
The PAK Lithium Project encompasses 26,774 hectares at the south end of
Ontario's
Electric
Avenue, the largest land package hosting premium lithium bearing pegmatites in
Ontario
. The Project
covers 65 km of the Avenue length and remains largely unexplored; however, since 2013 the
company has delineated two premium spodumene bearing lithium deposits (Pak and Spark) located
2.3 km from each other. A 2021 Preliminary Economic Assessment of a fully-integrated lithium
operation utilizing spodumene concentrate generated from the PAK Lithium Project resource to
achieve downstream conversion for production of battery-quality lithium chemicals (NI 43-101
Technical report titled "PAK Property" by BBA Engineering Ltd. issued on
April 5, 2021
) resulted in a
post-tax NPV8% of USD
$974M
with a 21% IRR. Considerable exploration upside is supported on
the PAK Lithium Project through two other spodumene bearing discoveries; Bolt pegmatite located
between PAK and Spark deposits, as well as Pennock pegmatite, a further 30 km northwest of PAK
within the Project claims.
