The Company notes that the Technical Report and certain of its investor presentation materials on its website referring to the Technical Report did not include an analysis of after tax economics as required by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Accordingly, the Company provides the following summary of the applicable provincial and federal taxes applicable to the Diablillos property, located in Salta, Argentina. Generally speaking, applicable taxes for mining in the Puna region of Salta, Argentina as subject to a federal income tax rate of 35% and export duties, or retentions, of 5% on industrialized products that are exported from the country. However, as per certain resolutions passed by the Argentine Federal Ministry of Economy, lithium, lithium oxide, lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate and lithium chloride are subject to a special benefit which provides a 5% reimbursement of value of exports of such products extracted from the Puna Region in the Province of Salta. In addition, the Company would be subject to royalties in the amount of 3% payable to the Province of Salta.
Generally speaking, Law Nº 24,196, known as the Federal Mining Investments Promotion Law in Argentina grants several privileges to mining companies registered with the Federal Mining Secretariat. As the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary which holds the property is registered pursuant to Law Nº 24,196 with the Federal Mining Secretariat, the Company has the benefit of a tax stability regime which provides that for thirty (30) years from the date a feasibility is filed a company will only be subject to the federal, provincial and municipal taxes in effect at the time of filing and that any increase in tax rates or new taxes will not apply to a company so registered. In addition, by virtue of being registered with the Federal Mining Secretariat: (i) sums invested in prospecting, exploration and in any other expenses necessary to determine the feasibility of the project incurred before the filing of the feasibility study enjoy double deductibility; (ii) accelerated depreciation regime is applicable to new mining projects and to the enlargement of the existing ones, as well as all the capital investments made during exploitation; (iii) profits that its shareholders may gain from the contribution of mines or mining rights as capital are exempt from income tax; and (iv) investors may capitalize up to fifty percent (50%) of the assessment of economically exploitable mining reserves certified by an authorized professional.
