NOA’s Chief Executive Officer Gabriel Rubacha states: “We are satisfied with the strong interest shown in this

financing. We would like to thank Clean Elements for its continued support and commitment to the Company ,

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”.

Clean Elements Ltd. (“ Clean Elements”) subscribed for 5,770,000 Units under the Offering on the

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

common shares of the Company on a non -diluted basis and 34.65% of the outstanding Common

Shares on a fully -diluted basis (assuming the exercise of all Warrants issued to Clean Elements ).

The participation of Clean Elements in the Offering constitutes a “related party transaction” for the

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

valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Offering in reliance on sections

5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as no securities of the Company are listed or quoted

nor the fair market value of the consideration for the securities issued to Clean Elements exceeds

25% of the Company’s market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61 -101. The

Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date

of the Offering as the aforementioned insider participation had not been confirmed at that time and

the Company wished to close the Offering as expeditiously as possible.

The securities issued to Clean Elements will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period in

accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state

securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
