Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp.
(TSXV: LIT) (FSE:
OAY3) (OTCQX: LILIF),
("Argentina Lithium" or the "Company"):
Dear Shareholders,
As we reflect on the past year at Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp., I am pleased to share the
significant progress we have achieved and to outline the next steps as we advance our objective of
becoming a leading producer of battery-grade lithium within
Argentina's
Lithium Triangle. The past
twelve months have marked an important period of disciplined progress, both technically and
strategically, anchored by our commitment to responsible development and long-term value creation.
Our flagship Rincon West lithium brine project in
Salta Province
continues to be the centerpiece of
our growth. In partnership with Stellantis, we have made notable advances across multiple fronts,
including the completion and publication of our maiden NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate, an
achievement that represents the culmination of our extensive exploration and drilling efforts. This
resource forms the foundation upon which our project development strategy is being built.
We are now transitioning from exploration toward development readiness. Our focus remains on five
core priorities: regulatory engagement and permitting, Direct Lithium Extraction ("
DLE
") process
selection and pilot testing, environmental baseline work, engineering and economic studies, and the
structuring of project financing. Together, these initiatives form a coherent path toward the potential
production of battery-grade lithium carbonate, in alignment with the accelerating global adoption of
electric vehicles and the urgent need for a secure, sustainable lithium supply chain.
Our relationship with provincial and federal authorities continues to be positive and constructive. We
anticipate the renewal of the Rincon West drilling permit shortly, for additional drilling and resource
modelling, and are concurrently securing freshwater access rights for our
Paso de Sico
concessions
to support both near-term exploration and future operations. These milestones are essential to
maintaining project momentum as we prepare for the next phase of work.
In parallel, our technical team has advanced the evaluation of multiple DLE technologies through
initial recovery testing programs, allowing us to identify the most attractive technologies. We are
now preparing for pilot-scale testing to refine process parameters and confirm scalability. DLE
represents a transformative opportunity to enhance lithium recovery efficiency and reduce
environmental impact—key factors that will strengthen project economics and align Rincon West with
the highest ESG standards.
Environmental responsibility continues to guide every step of our work. We have initiated
hydrogeological modelling, topographic surveys, and freshwater assessments, and we plan to
commence baseline environmental studies in the coming months. These programs will ensure that
Rincon West is developed under rigorous environmental and social frameworks, reflecting our
commitment to transparency and sustainability.
On the engineering front, early-stage design and infrastructure layout work are underway. Subject to
financing, we expect to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("
PEA
") in early 2026,
integrating the data generated from our DLE pilot testing and initial cost evaluations. Subject to
successful results, a Pre-Feasibility Study will follow providing a comprehensive technical and
economic foundation for development.
Our immediate priority is to secure the financing required to move into this next stage of
development. We have opened our data room to several potential partners and are actively engaged
in discussions with institutional investors and strategic industry participants. We are also evaluating
tolling and regional collaboration opportunities to optimize capital efficiency and project timelines.
While current market conditions for early-stage resource companies remain selective, we are
confident that the strong fundamentals of the lithium sector and our disciplined project strategy
position us favorably to attract long-term partners and investors.
Our partnership with Stellantis remains a cornerstone of our growth plan. Stellantis' 19.9%
ownership in our Argentine subsidiary, Argentina Litio y Energia S.A., and its offtake rights upon
production commencement, underscore the confidence of one of the world's leading automakers in
our team, our vision, and our asset base. This strategic relationship provides both validation and
strength as we move toward feasibility and development readiness.
Looking ahead, Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. remains focused on disciplined execution to
advance our technical programs, secure the necessary permits, and finalize financing arrangements
to enable construction and production. With our strong partnerships, robust resource base, and
alignment with global energy transition goals, we are exceptionally well positioned to deliver
meaningful long-term value for our shareholders.
On behalf of our Board of Directors and dedicated team, I thank you for your continued trust and
support as we move forward into this next exciting phase of growth and development.
With appreciation,
Nikolaos Cacos
President, CEO and Director
Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp.
