NEWS RELEASE – TORONTO, January 23, 2020

NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX:NEXT) (OTCQB:NSRCF) (“NextSource” or “the Company”) announces

board of director changes to the Company as it prepares for the transition from a mining development

company to a future producing entity.

Following the voting results of the shareholders in respect of the election of Directors at its Annual and

Special Meeting of Shareholders held in Toronto on December 2, 2019, in accordance with the policies of

the TSX and the Company’s majority voting policy, Mr. John Sanderson and Mr. Dalton Larson each

submitted an offer to resign from the Board. After careful consideration, the Board has accepted their

respective resignations.

Craig Scherba, President and CEO of NextSource stated, “Both Mr. Sanderson and Mr. Larson established

an ethos of strong corporate governance at NextSource which served and will continue to serve the

Company well in its transformation from a development company to a future producer. It has been both an

honour and a pleasure having John and Dalton on our Board, and we would like to thank them for the

innumerable contributions they both have made to the Company over their tenure. I speak for everyone at

NextSource in wishing John and Dalton the very best."

The Company is pleased to announce that it has appointed current director Mr. Dean Comand as Chairman

of the Board, and would like to welcome newly appointed members , Mr. Chris Kruba and Dr. David

McNeely, to the Board of Directors. All will serve as independent, non-executive directors. The Board has

determined that it will not immediately fill the vacanc ies created by the resignation of Mr. Sanderson and

Mr. Larson but will consider future candidates at the appropriate time to best serve the needs of the

Corporation.

begin mine construction. The appointment of Mr. Comand to the Chairman of the Board position, and

election of Mr. Kruba and Mr. McNeely to the board of directors strengthens the Company by bringing
