decarbonize and meet net -zero goals. The Company is advancing a portfolio of lithium prospects which includes
the recently acquired Rio Negro Project in Argentina , a district-scale project in an area known to contain hard rock
lithium pegmatite occurrences that were first discovered in the 1960s with little exploration since, and the Armstrong
Project, located in the Seymour-Crescent-Falcon lithium belt in northern Ontario, known to host spodumene-bearing
lithium pegmatites and significant discoveries.
The Company is developing the Berlin Deposit in Colombia. Apart from uranium, for clean nuclear energy, the Berlin
Deposit contains battery commodities including nickel, phosphate, and vanadium. Phosphate is a key component
of lithium -ion ferro -phosphate (“LFP”) batteries that are being used by a g rowing list of electric vehicle
manufacturers. Nickel is a component of various lithium -ion batteries, while vanadium is the element used in
vanadium redox flow batteries. Neodymium, one of the rare earth elements contained within the Berlin Deposit, is
