work with Ms. Hanson in the past and have come to recognize that she has many skills in
geology. One is in compiling data and mai ntaining a geological information system. Her
knowledge of sedimentary environments will be particularly useful to the Company
Recently I had a chance to visit our lithium projects near Zacatecas, Mexico. This has given me
an excellent perspective regarding the scope of our salars and their associated infrastructures.
All of the salars have roads and power adjacent to the projects.
Additionally, during my recent visit we had a chance to meet with our partner’s geologist, Jose
Parga. Mr. Parga, a resident of Zacatecas, is a well-known geologist throughout Mexico having
had a long career with the Geological Survey of Mexico. He ha s decades of experience in
exploring for and the testing of salars for the Geological Survey and with private explorers. He
has a wealth of accumulated knowledge and data concerning the historical exploration of our
salars that will give Ms. Hanson an excellent head start in understanding our compelling lithium
projects. The extensive database of past work that has been compiled will be of significant help
in guiding our future exploration and development efforts.”
