Imagine Lithium Commences 2023 Drill Campaign

at Jackpot Lithium Project

Vancouver, BC, Canada , June 20, 2023 – IMAGINE LITHIUM INC. (the

“Company” or “Imagine”) (TSX-V: ILI) (OTCQB: ARXRF) is pleased to announce

the start of its 2023 summer drill program at the Jackpot lithium project following

the recent closing of a $9.1 million private placement ( April 28, 2023 press

release).The program will consist of a minimum of 10,000 metres of diamond drilling

on the Jackpot lithium property. The Jackpot property is located within the rapidly

emerging lithium camp in the Georgia Lake Area, approximately 140 km north-east

of Thunder Bay, Ontario (Figure 1).

The initial drill target is a newly identified lithium bearing pegmatite that has been

traced at surface for more than 500 m of strike. This target has been sampled but

not drilled to date and the Company intends to drill a minimum of 8 holes to confirm

its depth and strike extension. Once complete , Imagine Lithium will focus on

expansion of the Jackpot Main Zone to the east plus several new lithium bearing

pegmatite targets to the west, northwest, and northeast, covering a trend of more

than 3 km (Figure 2).

J.C. St-Amour, President of Imagine, commented, “With a bolstered treasury and

great drill results from our winter program, I am excited to implement our extensive,

exploration plans on Jackpot; testing new lithium pegmatites that have not been

drilled as well as expanding our Main Zone at Jackpot. In addition to drilling, we have

also deployed a team of geologists to prospect the entirety of the vast Jackpot land

package.”

12 km by road from the TransCanada Highway (Hwy 11) , and is in proximity to

sources of power, railroads, and ports. The property contains known lithium-bearing

granitic pegmatite dikes, of which two provided estimated historical resources of 2

million tons at 1.09% Li2O and 750,000 tons at 1.38% Li2O*.

and 1.3 of NI-43-101 such as mineral resources or mineral reserves as stated in the 2010 CIM Definition Standards on

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The explanation lies in the inability by the Company to verify the data

acquired by the various historical drilling campaigns. The Company has not done sufficient work yet to class ify the

historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
