Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2023) - International Lithium Corp. (TSXV:
ILC) (OTCQB: ILHMF) (FSE: IAH) (the "
Company
" or "
ILC
"), is pleased to announce a non-brokered
private placement (the "Offering") of up to 40,000,000 units (each, a "Unit") at CAD $0.05 per Unit to
raise gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one-
half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder
to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of CAD $0.10 per common share for a
period of three years from the date of issue.
Proceeds of the private placement will be used for exploration on the Company's Raleigh Lake Project in
Ontario and other projects and for general corporate and administrative costs. It is expected that the
Company will be able to announce a Preliminary Economic Assessment on Zone 1 of Raleigh Lake in
November 2023 or shortly after then.
It is anticipated that some directors and insiders will participate in this Offering. The Units (to the extent
subscribed for by insiders) constitute "related party transactions" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-
101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as the subscribers
include directors of the Company. The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal
valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Units in reliance on the exemptions
contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 as the Company is not listed on a specified
market and the fair market value of the Units being issued to insiders in connection with the Offering
does not exceed $2,500,000, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
About International Lithium Corp.
International Lithium Corp. believes that the world faces a significant turning point in the energy market's
dependence on oil and gas and in the governmental and public view of climate change. In addition, we
have seen the clear and increasingly urgent wish by the USA and Canada to safeguard their supplies of
critical battery metals and to become more self-sufficient. Our Canadian projects are strategic in that
respect.
Our key mission in the next decade is to make money for our shareholders from lithium and rare metals
while at the same time helping to create a greener, cleaner planet and less polluted cities. This includes
optimizing the value of our existing projects in Canada and Ireland as well as finding, exploring and
developing projects that have the potential to become world class lithium and rare metal deposits. We
have announced separately that we regard Zimbabwe as an important strategic target market for ILC,
and we hope to be able to make announcements over the next few weeks.
A key goal has been to become a well-funded company to turn our aspirations into reality, and following
the disposal of the Mariana project in Argentina in 2021 and the Mavis Lake project in Canada in
January 2022, the Board of the Company considers that ILC is now well placed in that respect with a
strong net cash position. The board intends to be proactive in keeping that position strong.
The Company's interests in various projects now consists of the following, and in addition the Company
continues to seek other opportunities:

The Company's primary strategic focus at this point is on the Raleigh Lake Project's lithium and rubidium
project in Canada and on identifying additional properties in Canada and Zimbabwe.
The Raleigh Lake Project consists of 48,500 hectares (485 square kilometres) of mineral claims in
Ontario and is ILC's most significant project in Canada. Drilling has so far been on less than 1,000
hectares of our claims. The exploration results there so far, which are on only about 8% of ILC's current
claims, have shown significant quantities of rubidium and caesium in the pegmatite as well as lithium.
Raleigh Lake is 100% owned by ILC, is not subject to any encumbrances, and is royalty free.
With the increasing demand for high tech rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles and electrical
storage as well as portable electronics, lithium has been designated "the new oil", and is a key part of a
green energy sustainable economy. By positioning itself with projects with significant resource potential
and with solid strategic partners, ILC aims to be one of the lithium and rare metals resource developers
of choice for investors and to continue to build value for its shareholders in the '20s, the decade of
battery metals.
