Frontier Lithium signals advancement towards feasibility by commencement of a Phase III Metallurgical Study
Sudbury, Ontario, August 22, 2018 - Frontier Lithium (TSX.V: FL) (the “Company”) announced that a final Phase III
Metallurgical Study on its PAK Lithium Project is currently underway. This study supports the Company’s
commitment to advancing feasibility plans and prospective customer discussions for the development of the PAK
Lithium Project.
The comprehensive testwork being performed is two fold: Firstly, to analyze the robustness of the premium
technical grade spodumene concentrate flowsheet with varying run-of-mine samples for the demonstration of head
grade versus recovery relationships. Secondly, for the production of sample concentrate and it’s ensuing process
water and waste material from a larger representative life-of-mine sample.
“In March 2018, the results of the NI 43-101 Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) for the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite
exceeded expectations, confirming the rare ability from this deposit to produce premium lithium concentrates
suitable for both technical and chemical grade applications. Results from recent flowsheet optimization work and
this concluding stage of metallurgical testing and concentrate generation are required to advance dependent
technical studies required for bankable feasibility of the potential mining operation and for the advancement of
discussions regarding potential future offtake,” commented Trevor R. Walker, President and CEO, Frontier Lithium
Inc.
The Company has successfully completed the Phase VI Drill Program which consisted of 1,225m in 9 drill holes
targeting the resource’s high grade zone at surface and systematically stepping down to finish below the PFS open
pit design at depth. The Company anticipates the pending results of analysis for the drill hole samples over the
coming weeks and will promptly release when passing our QA/QC and interpreted for our shareholders.
About Frontier Lithium Inc.
Frontier’s goal is to become a low-cost, fully integrated lithium 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. The deposit boasts its lithium in a rare, high-purity, low-iron spodumene. The
initial target market is the glass-ceramic industry which consumes roughly one-quarter 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.
The PAK lithium deposit remains open in all directions and Company Management is working towards
developing a viable operation. The Company is currently completing a pre-feasibility study to assess the
economic viability and technical feasibility of producing lithium concentrates. Frontier’s goal is to first establish
a viable technical grade spodumene concentrate operation. A possible second stage of investment and longer
term prospect is to further process a combination of 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 has a current Measured and Indicated Resource of 8.5 million tonnes of 1.78% Li2O and an Inferred
Lithium Resource 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 orientation. The resource remains open to depth and along
strike to the northwest and southeast.
