Advantage Lithium Announces Virtual Attendance Option for its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders

VANCOUVER, April 6, 2020 - Advantage Lithium Corp. (TSXV: AAL) (OTCQX: AVLIF) ("Advantage" or the "Company") announced today that in light of ongoing concerns related to the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus), and in order to mitigate potential risks to the health and safety of its shareholders (the "Shareholders"), employees, communities and other stakeholders, and based on government recommendations to avoid large gatherings, Advantage will conduct its annual general and special meeting to be held on April 14, 2020 (the "Meeting"), as previously announced in its news releases dated February 18, 2020 and March 16, 2020 in a hybrid format, which will include both a live audio webcast (the "Webcast") and an in-person option. Advantage strongly encourages Shareholders and others who wish to attend the Meeting to do so by joining the Webcast and not to attend the Meeting in person.

As the City of Vancouver and the Province of British Columbia have declared a state of public health emergency, Advantage wishes to emphasize its priority to decrease the health risks associated with the spread of COVID-19 and to adhere to the health and safety guidelines provided by Canadian public health authorities. The changes discussed in this news release, made out of an abundance of caution, are intended to promote "social distancing" and reduce potential risks associated with larger gatherings and travel, as part of Advantage's COVID-19 response plan.

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote on matters before the Meeting and to attend the Meeting virtually via the Webcast. Voting instructions and Webcast access information are provided below. Provided a Shareholder is connected to the Internet and properly follows the Company's below instructions, the Webcast will provide Shareholders with similar opportunities to participate in the Meeting as they would have attending the Meeting in person. Shareholders attending the Meeting virtually by Webcast will be able to listen to the Meeting, ask questions and vote online, all in real time and regardless of their geographic location. Accordingly, the Company believes that strongly encouraging Shareholders to attend the Meeting virtually by Webcast in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic is in the best interests of all Company stakeholders and the broader community.


Cautionary Note on 'In-Person' Attendance

Given the need for risk management in respect of the COVID-19 outbreak, anyone who plans to attend the Meeting in person is asked to advise Arman Farahani, counsel to the Company at arman.farahani@mcmillan.ca by April 10, 2020. In order to ensure the health and safety of all attendees, the Company and McMillan LLP (as host of the Meeting) will reserve the right to restrict access to the Meeting depending on available health and safety information at the time of the Meeting and make such arrangements as are deemed prudent or necessary under the circumstances. Advantage strongly encourages Shareholders and others who wish to attend the Meeting to do so by joining the Webcast and not to attend the Meeting in person. The ability of Shareholders and others to attend the Meeting in person is also subject to any governmental orders applicable at the time of the Meeting which might prevent or restrict Shareholders and others from attending in person.


How to Attend the Virtual Meeting (Webcast)

The Webcast will commence at 1:30 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) / 10:30 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Time) on April 14, 2020.
