as evidenced by its participation in this placement. We will continue advancing the development of our flagship
Rio Grande project, with the goal of taking it to feasibility and then production in the shortest possible time. We
are confident that the recent trend toward recovery in lithium prices , which appears to be gradually
materializing, will facilitate the achievement of our goals and objectives”.

same terms as arm’s length investors. Clean Elements owns 31.4% of the issued and outstanding

purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
