All funds are stated in Canadian dollars. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of a non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").

There is no minimum number of Units or minimum aggregate proceeds required to close the Offering and the Company may, at its discretion, elect to close the Offering in one or more closings. Management anticipates that the Company will allocate the net proceeds of the Offering as follows: Salar del Diablo Lithium Property drilling program $750,000; Salar del Diablo Lithium Property southern region pre-drilling program $450,000; regional exploration $250,000 and the balance for working capital.
The Company may pay a finder's fee on the Offering. Closing of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals.
