Frontier Lithium announces Phase VI Diamond Drill Program on the PAK Lithium Project in
Northwestern Ontario
Sudbury, Ontario , June 5 , 2018 – Frontier Lithium Inc. (TSXV: FL) (“Frontier” or “the Company”) is
pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling on the PAK Lithium Project, located in the
Red Lake area of Ontario. The Phase VI diamond drill program is follow -up to the Canadian National
Instrument (N.I.) 43 -101 Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) news release that was disseminated March 2, 2018.
The Phase VI Drill Program (“the Program”) is designed to test the depth extent of the deposit under the
PFS open pit design and to possibly upgrade some of the resource from In ferred to the Indicated and
Measured categories. The results of the Program will be used to finalize open pit design for the purpose
of Final Feasibility and to test the cohesive nature of the mineralization with depth and to reinforce that
both width and lithium grades increase with depth.
The Program is expected to commence mid -June and will consist of 3 to 6 diamond drill holes totalling
up to 2,000m.
About Frontier Lithium Inc.
Frontier’s goal is to become a low -cost, fully integrated lithium prod ucer through development of the
PAK lithium deposit in Ontario, Canada. Frontier maintains a tight share structure with management
ownership exceeding 30% of the Company. The deposit boasts its lithium in a rare, high -purity, low-iron
spodumene whereby Fro ntier has successfully produced concentrates meeting both chemical grade
spodumene and technical grade specifications. The initial target market is the glass -ceramic industry
which consumes roughly one -quarter of global lithium supply and is currently face d with monopolistic
conditions, coupled with major lithium producers increasingly directing output toward supporting
battery manufacture.
Ceramic/glass customers prefer to source technical -grade (low-iron) spodumene concentrate in excess
of 7% lithium oxide (Li2O), if available, to avoid inferior lower grade petalite concentrates, or paying
much higher prices for battery grade lithium compounds.
The PAK lithium deposit remains open in all directions and Company Manag ement is working towards
developing a viable operation. The Company has recently completed a positive pre-feasibility study (PFS)
which assessed the economic viability and technical feasibility of producing premium lithium
concentrates. As a result of the PFS Frontier’s goal is to first establish a viable technical grade
spodumene concentrate operation with a by -product of chemical grade concentrate. A possible second
stage of investment and longer -term prospect is to further process a combination of some o f PAK’s
output to produce the higher purity lithium compounds required for lithium battery technologies used
in the electrification of transportation and electric grid storage applications.

About the PAK Lithium Project
The PAK Lithium Project lies close to the boundary between two geological sub-provinces of the western
Superior geologic province in northwestern Ontario and host a rare metals pegmatite deposit. The
deposit is an LCT (lithium- cesium- tantalum) type pegmatite. These types of pegmatites have been the
principal source of hard rock lithium, tantalum, rubidium and cesium ores mined in the world but there
are comparatively few commercially-viable deposits.
Frontier is actively exploring its 100% owned project which contains the Pakeagama Lake pe gmatite. The
Company’s positive PFS release earlier this year highlights Frontier Lithium’s ability to become a high
margin, low cost producer of a unique premium low -iron spodumene concentrate which is in very high
demand by the global lithium market. Oth er highlights include a Life of Mine Revenue of $1,859 Million
and a 11.5 year open pit operation, 4.5 year underground operation. The PAK deposit has a current
Measured and Indicated Resource of 8.5 million tonnes of 1.78% Li2O and an Inferred Lithium Res ource
of 1.9 million tonnes of 2.01% Li2O which has a technical/ceramic grade spodumene with low inherent
iron (below 0.1% Fe2O3).
The deposit now has a known 500m strike length with an estimated true width varying from 10m to
125m with a sub -vertical ori entation. The resource remains open to depth and along strike to the
northwest and southeast.
