Lithium Chile Provides Operational Update on Its Argentinian Lithium Project

HIGHLIGHTS

• - Work program outlined and budget completed;

  - Total cost below forecast;

  - Drilling Contractor retained;

  - Senior consulting geologist 30+ years lithium experienced retained

The initial operational meeting was held within a week of signing the LOI (May 17, 2021 press release) and plans continue to unfold quickly. Once the definitive agreement is completed prior to July 12th, the Company hopes to begin drilling the production test well. Drilling should take approximately 8 weeks with a 30-day pumping test to follow. The test is designed to analyze and collect data from the target zone that will prove the potential commerciality of the aquifer identified in an earlier exploration program.

Steve Cochrane, President and CEO of Lithium Chile commented: "I am very pleased that our Argentinian team was established so quickly allowing us to initiate our production well drilling program. It is exciting that we now have two programs underway in two of the major countries forming the "Lithium Triangle." We are confident that this will create substantial shareholder value going forward."
