Frontier Lithium Appoints New Chief Executive Officer
Sudbury, Ontario –February 21, 2017 – Frontier Lithium Inc. (TSX.V: FL) Frontier (the “Company”),
announces the appointment of Frontier’s President Trevor Walker, as President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company following the resignation of Mr. Henry Kloepper.
“Frontier would like to thank Henry and wish him success in all of his future endeavors,” stated Reginald
(Rick) Walker, Chairman of the Board.
The Board is delighted with their appointment of Trevor Walker and his added role of Chief Executive Officer.
Walker joined Frontier in 2010, and since then he has played a key strategic role in focusing the company on
its PAK Lithium deposit in Northwestern Ontario. Under his leadership he has increased the company's overall
readiness to develop its world-class lithium deposit, advanced global-minded marketing activities, and bridged
partnerships to bring Canada's newest lithium mine project on line.
Prior to joining the company, Walker was Vice President of the Consbec Group of Companies where he
accumulated 10 years of experience in mining and construction industry. During his tenure at Consbec, he
worked closely with companies such as GoldCorp, Rio Tinto, Westdome, Barrick, Noranda, Agrium and
Unimin as well as other major companies. Walker holds an honours BA from the University of Western
Ontario, and an MBA from Webster University Geneva, Switzerland.

About Frontier Lithium Inc.
Frontier’s goal is to become a low-cost, fully integrated lithium and tantalum producer through development
of the PAK lithium deposit in Ontario, Canada. Frontier maintains a tight share structure with management
ownership exceeding 30% of the Company. CAD $4 million of exploration work has been conducted from
2013 to 2016 on the deposit which boasts its lithium in a rare, high-purity, low-iron spodumene. The Company
has adopted a staged growth approach to exploration and development in order to avoid unnecessary share
dilution – a strategic imperative for the Company. The initial target market is the glass-ceramic industry which
consumes roughly one-third of global lithium supply and is currently faced 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 that require chemical plants costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
The PAK lithium deposit remains open in all directions and Company Management believes the resource
can be developed into a world-class operation. The Company is currently conduction pre-feasibility to
produce lithium concentrates. If production of lithium concentrates can be established from Frontier, the
possible second stage of investment and longer term prospect is to further process some of 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 hosts 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 pegmatite. The PAK
deposit is one of the highest grade lithium mineral resources in North America which has a current Measured
and Indicated Resource of 7.89 million tonnes of 1.73% Li2O equivalent (eq.) and Inferred Resource of
295,600 tonnes of 1.35% Li2O eq. which has a technical/ceramic grade spodumene with low inherent iron
(below 0.1% Fe2O3). The deposit has adjacent zones that are enriched in tantalum and rubidium. Frontier is
also evaluating the phased co-production of tantalum and mica-product concentrates once lithium mineral
production has been commercialized.
The deposit now has a known 500m strike length with an estimated true width varying from 10m to 125m with
a sub-vertical orientation. The resource remains open to depth and along strike to the northwest and southeast.
