CALGARY, ALBERTA, JUNE 09, 2021 – Lithium Chile Inc. (“ Lithium Chile” or the “ Company”) is

pleased to announce that significant progress has been made towards the drilling of the

Company’s initial production test well on its Arizaro property in Salta Province, Argentina.

HIGHLIGHTS

 Work program outlined and budget completed;

 Total cost below forecast;

 Drilling Contractor retained;

 Senior consulting geologist 30+ years lithium experienced retained

The initial operational meeting was held within a week of signing the LOI (May 17, 2021 press

release) and plans continue to unfold quickly. Once the definitive agreement is completed prior

to July 12 th, the Company hopes to begin drilling the production test well. Drilling should take

approximately 8 weeks with a 30-day pumping test to follow. The test is designed to analyze and

collect data from the target zone that will prove the potential commerciality of the aquifer

identified in an earlier exploration program.

Steve Cochrane, President and CEO of Lithium Chile commented: “I am very pleased that our

Argentinian team was established so quickly allowing us to initiate our production well drilling

program. It is exciting that we now have two programs underway in two of the major countries

forming the “Lithium Triangle.” We are confident that this will create substantial shareholder

value going forward.”
