Frontier Lithium to drill untested Bolt

Pegmatite

SUDBURY, ON

,

March 15, 2023

/CNW/ - Frontier Lithium Inc. (TSXV: FL) (FRA: HL2) (OTCQX:

LITOF) ("Frontier" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update for current and future

exploration plans for the PAK Lithium Project (the Project) in northwestern Ontario.

Highlights

Frontier Lithium has an exploration target of

100M

tonnes (measured, indicated and inferred) of

open pit resource on the Project;

Phase XIII Diamond Drill Program targeting up to 10,000 meters;

The Project has two exploration drills on site with maiden drilling on the untested 600 meter long

Bolt pegmatite to commence by spring;

PAK deposit geotechnical and environmental drilling currently underway;

Exploration drilling planned to test Spark deposit western extension towards a high-grade target

1.1km on strike from the resource;

Continue to conduct environmental baseline studies to advance project permitting.

The Phase XIII drill Program has been designed to contribute towards the Company's Exploration

target of

100M

tonnes of open pit resource on the PAK Lithium Project (Figure 1) and to perform

limited geotechnical and environmental drilling to support feasibility study of the Project.

A maiden drill program will soon commence testing the 600 meter long Bolt pegmatite showing

located between the PAK and Spark deposits (Figure 2). Currently the Bolt pegmatite has been

defined by surface mapping and two channel cuts (

36m

channel averaging 1.51% Li2O and

49m

channel averaging 1.14% Li2O spaced

230m

apart). A minimum of 6 drill holes are planned targeting

Bolt. During the summer other targets generated during the 2022 regional mapping and prospecting

will be followed-up with detailed mapping, prospecting and channel sampling.

Further exploration drilling is planned to define the western extension of the Spark deposit,

particularly the "high grade" zone intersected to the northwest including the one-kilometre area

between the Spark deposit and the new pegmatite discovered through two grab samples averaging

3.1% Li

Garth Drever

VP Exploration commented" Its exciting times to substantially increase a world-class

spodumene pegmatite like Spark with what we anticipate from drilling the Bolt pegmatite. Although

not visibly connected on surface, drilling may confirm continuity at depth."

In

January 2023

, permits were granted by the

Ontario

government to extract and remove 1,000

metric tonne bulk samples from both the PAK and Spark deposits. Currently drilling, blasting and

hauling activities are taking place on the Project. In February the Company commenced

hydrogeological and geomechanical drilling on the Project required for feasibility at the PAK deposit

pit area. Some in-fill drilling targeting the Spark inferred resource will also be completed as a part of

the program.

On

February 28

th

, 2023, the Company updated the

Mineral resource estimate

(report pending) on

Spark deposit only. Figure 3 is the Global Resource for the Project including PAK deposit as per the

2021 preliminary economic assessment (National Instrument 43-101 technical report titled "NI 43-

101 Technical Report.

About Frontier Lithium

Frontier Lithium is a preproduction business with an objective to become a strategic domestic

supplier of spodumene concentrates for industrial users as well as battery-grade lithium hydroxide

and other chemicals to the growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets in

North America

.

The Company maintains the largest land position and resource in a premium lithium mineral district

located in

Ontario's

Great Lakes region.

About PAK Lithium Project

The PAK lithium project contains one of

North America's

highest-grade lithium resources. The project

encompasses close to 27,000 hectares and remains largely unexplored; however, since 2013, the

company has delineated two premium spodumene-bearing lithium deposits (PAK and Spark),

located 2.3 kilometres apart. Exploration is continuing on the project through two other spodumene-

bearing discoveries: the Bolt pegmatite (located between the PAK and Spark deposits), as well as

the Pennock pegmatite (25 kilometres northwest of PAK deposit within the project claims). A 2021

preliminary economic assessment (National Instrument 43-101 technical report titled "NI 43-101

Technical Report, Pak Property, PAK, Red Lake Mining District,

Ontario, Canada

" by BBA E&C Inc.,

with an effective date of

April 5, 2021

) delivered a fully integrated lithium operation, including the

mine and mill and the conversion plant for production of battery-quality lithium salts.
