Sept. 19, 2022

/CNW/ - (TSXV: GRD) - Grounded Lithium Corp. ("

GLC

" or the

"

Company"

) is pleased to announce the addition of several key personnel to its corporate and

project team positioning the Company to achieve upcoming catalytic project milestones.

Effective

October 1, 2022

,

Lawrence Fisher

joins the Company as Vice President, Land &

Regulatory. Mr. Fisher brings considerable industry experience with respect to all aspects of land

negotiation and administration, acquisition & divestiture mandates, government regulation and

executive leadership. Mr. Fisher also taught land management and administration classes at the

University of Calgary

and

Mount Royal

University for 15 years, educating many of the land

professionals and administrators working in the Western Canadian resource development industry

today. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Fisher was the Manager, Land & Business Development at

Novus Energy (2017 to 2022) and Vice President, Land at Ridgeback Resources Inc. and it's

predecessors (2010-2017), with his latter role highlighted by his negotiation and closing of greater

than

$1.5 billion

of transactions. Mr. Fisher is a 27-year member of the Canadian Association of

Land and Energy Professionals.

GLC also retained the consulting services of Mr.

Wayne Monnery

as the Company's technology

expert. Mr. Monnery holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and worked considerably in the process

engineering discipline for over 30 years. Mr. Monnery's accomplishments are numerous having

performed countless studies and process flow assessments for world-class resource development

companies. Mr. Monnery has also advised companies in the lithium-from-brine industry with respect

to technology evaluation. In addition, Mr. Monnery has lectured at the

University of Calgary

and

undertaken research while there. His chosen focus areas include thermo-dynamics, physical

properties and transport properties. Further, he has been involved in kinetics of sulphur plants, along

with acid gas injection and separation research projects. His experience in CO2 capture and

sequestration could potentially contribute to the Company's wider project design by enhancing ESG

responsibilities. Mr. Monnery will be responsible for managing GLC's assessment, due diligence,

recommendations and ultimate selection of the preferred lithium extraction and refining technology to

process lithium from brine into commercially accepted grades. His mandate also includes overseeing

the selection process of an international design engineering firm which will not only conduct its own

extensive assessments, but also potentially lead the construction of the facilities themselves,

monitoring results of pilot programs, recommending appropriate courses of action and continually

assessing internal capabilities to deliver projects on-time and on-budget. In the near term however,

these responsibilities will assist in driving towards a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA")

which the Company intends to finalize over the course of 2023.

Lastly, the Company retained the consulting services of Mr.

Grant Hindbo

to assist in establishing

supply chain options and logistic solutions as the Company moves to commercial operations. Mr.

Hindbo's review and assessment will add further clarity to the transportation cost structure,

international customs requirements and supply chain risks which will be included in the PEA. Mr.

Hindbo devoted most of his career establishing international supply chains, managing transportation

service agreements and providing leadership while at NOVA Chemicals. His experience involved

developing logistic strategies, implementing supply chains and negotiating transportation agreements

(rail, truck, ocean, packaging) while ensuring trade and customs compliance to deliver finished

goods across the globe.

"While already a cohesive, dedicated and experienced team, the additions of Lawrence, Wayne and

Grant greatly improves our ability to execute on all facets of the business," commented

Gregg

Smith

, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In particular, adding world-class process flow

technology experience with the addition of Wayne will sharpen our focus on our chosen technology

solution and EPCM management to deliver a commercial project to the marketplace."

by GLC that the Company believes these forward-looking statements continue to be true as of any

in, these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these

assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements include, but are not limited

to, statements regarding achieving project milestones, the potential contributions by Mr. Fisher, Mr.

Monnery and Mr. Hindbo to GLC's business and operations, the potential contributions by an

international design engineering firm, commercializing GLC's operations, and GLC's vision of

becoming a best-in-class, environmentally responsible, Canadian lithium producer supporting the

global energy transition.

Western

Canada

, unexpected problems can arise due to technical difficulties and operational difficulties which

impact the production, transport or sale of its products; geographic and weather conditions can

impact the production; the risk that current global economic and credit conditions may impact

commodity prices and consumption more than GLC currently predicts; the failure to obtain financing

on reasonable terms; the risk that unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned

properties may occur; the failure of drilling to result in commercial projects; unexpected delays due

to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; and the other risk factors detailed from
