Imagine Lithium Expands Lithium Zone at Jackpot

Project By 400 m and Grants Stock Options

August 17, 202 2 Vancouver, BC, Canada – IMAGINE LITHIUM INC. (the

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

results from its ongoing drill program. The drill program is designed to test targets

along strike both to the east and west of the Jackpot lithium project located in the

Georgia Lake Area about 140 km NNE of Thunder Bay, Ontario . This first phase of

the program expanded the mineralized lithium zone at least 400 metres to the east

of the previously drilled area (see Figure 1).

Highlights of the assay results reported today include:

Hole JP-2022-04: 10 m @ 0.90% Li2O, including 3 m @ 1.2% Li2O and 10 m @

0.89% Li2O, including 4 m @ 1.15 % Li2O;

Hole JP-2022-19: 2.9 m @ 1.31% Li2O and 3.1 m @ 1.23% Li2O;

Hole JP-2022-18B: 12.45 m @ 0.69% Li2O including 3.01 m @ 1.09% Li2O

J.C. St-Amour, President of Imagine commented, “ We are encouraged to see the

Jackpot pegmatite dikes continuing to the east by at least 400 m . We are seeing

similar assay results in this area as in the main Jackpot project and are confident that

we will see further growth with more drilling. In addition, we are conducting a ground

prospecting program to identify other lithium targets 2 to 3 km along strike from the

main Jackpot area.”

* The estimates presented above are treated as historic information and have not been verified or relied

category of sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI-43-101 such as mineral resources or mineral reserves as stated in the
