OFFERS OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA

No action has been taken to register or qualify the Securities the subject of this Prospectus, or the Offers, or otherwise to permit the public offering of the Securities, in any jurisdiction outside Australia. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside of Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus outside of Australia should observe any such restrictions. Only the Joint Lead Managers and their respective appropriately licensed affiliates may distribute this Prospectus outside Australia to institutional and professional investors as permitted under local securities laws.

Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. This document does not constitute an offer of Securities in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the Securities may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.

This document constitutes an offering of Shares only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (Provinces), only to persons to whom Shares may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such securities.

No securities commission or authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the Shares or the offering of the Shares and any representation to the contrary is an offence.

No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of Shares or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. While such resale restrictions generally do not apply to a first trade in a security of a foreign, non-Canadian reporting issuer that is made through an exchange or market outside Canada, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the Shares.

The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.

Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this document are in Australian dollars.

Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission. Securities legislation in certain Provinces may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if an offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation, provided the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's Province. A purchaser may refer to any applicable provision of the securities legislation of the purchaser's

Letter from the Chairman

Dear Investor

On behalf of the board of Green Technology Metals Limited (Company), I am pleased to present this Prospectus and to invite you to become a Shareholder in the Company.

The Company is a mineral exploration and development company focused on the discovery and delineation of lithium mineral resources. Our focus will be on three main lithium assets, Seymour, Root and Wisa located in the mining friendly jurisdiction of Ontario, Canada.

This is an interesting time in the evolution of the EV and battery market, especially in North America, with the recent rebound in lithium demand. I believe there is increasing confidence and optimism in the battery supply chain, with the prices of spodumene concentrates increasing dramatically over the last 6 months. This has occurred as most of the current supply is being locked up in long term contracts with the major producers of lithium chemicals. Now is the time to bring on new sources of supply.

Under this Prospectus, the Company is seeking to raise up to \$24,000,000 (before costs) by the issue of up to 96,000,000 Shares under a General Offer, which will include an offer of up to 16,000,000 Shares under a Priority Offer to Eligible Ardiden Shareholders. Any Shares not taken up pursuant to the Priority Offer will be issued under the General Offer. Eligible Ardiden Shareholders also have the opportunity to subscribe for any Shares that are not subscribed for under the Priority Offer pursuant to the General Offer under this Prospectus. The Joint Lead Managers to the General Offer are Canaccord and Bell Potter (see Section 6.4 for further details).

The Company has assembled an experienced management team which is well qualified to exploit the potential of the Company's mineral assets. The Board has significant expertise and experience in lithium mineral exploration, project development, processing and corporate finance and will ensure that funds raised through the Offers will be utilised in a cost-effective manner to deliver value for Shareholders.

The proceeds of the Offers will be utilised to:

  • (a) fund the partial cash consideration for the Projects;
  • (b) enable the Company to systematically explore across the Projects in Ontario, Canada, described below:
  • (i) Seymour;
  • (ii) Root;
  • (iii) Wisa; and
  • (c) pay for the costs of the Offers.

This Prospectus contains detailed information about the Offers and the current and proposed operations of the Company, as well as the risks pertaining to an investment in the Company. Potential investors in the Company should carefully consider those risks (detailed in Section 3).

We look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder should you decide to take up Shares pursuant to the Offers.

Yours faithfully

John Young Non-Executive Chairman

TOPIC SUMMARY MORE INFORMATION
Summary of key risks
Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the Company involves a number of risks. The
risk factors set out in Section 3, and other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, may affect
the value of the Securities in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly
speculative. This Section summarises the key risks which apply to an investment in the Company and investors should
refer to Section 3 for a more detailed summary of the risks.
Limited history The Company was incorporated on 12 March 2021 and therefore
has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate
its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company
must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their
development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which
has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance
can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability
through the successful exploration on, or mining development of,
the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the
Projects, it is likely to continue to incur operational losses.
Section 3.1(a)
Future capital
requirements
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to
generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects are
successfully developed and production commences. The future
capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors
including its business development activities. The Company
believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Offers
should be adequate to fund its business development activities,
exploration program and other Company objectives in the short
term as stated in this Prospectus.
Section 3.1(b)
In order to successfully develop the Projects and for production
to commence, the Company will require further financing in the
future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers. Any
additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may
be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or
Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the
Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if
available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating
activities.
TOPIC SUMMARY MORE INFORMATION
Summary of key risks
Contractual risk Pursuant to the Ardiden Option Agreement (summarised at
Section 6.1), the Company has the option to acquire up to an 80%
legal and beneficial interest in the Projects from Ardiden. In order
to maintain its interest in the Projects, the Company must issue
Ardiden the Tranche 1 Consideration Shares and the Tranche 2
Consideration Shares and/or pay Ardiden the cash value of the
Consideration Shares.
Section 3.1(d)
In the event the Company is unable to deliver the Tranche
1 Consideration Shares or cash payment, the Offers will not
complete.
In the event the Company is unable to deliver the Tranche 2
Consideration Shares or cash payment within 12 months of
Admission, the Company's interest in the Projects will remain at 51%
and it will no longer have a right to acquire a further 29% interest
in the Projects.
The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may
be materially affected by the performance by the parties of its
obligations under certain agreements, including the Ardiden
Option Agreement. If any party defaults in the performance of its
obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a
court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.
Joint Venture risk The Company and Ardiden will form a joint venture, which, until
such time as a formal joint venture agreement has been entered
into, will be governed by the key joint venture terms set out in the
Ardiden Option Agreement (JV Terms). While the JV Terms set
out key operating provisions for a joint venture agreement, the
JV Terms are not comprehensive and do not purport to cover
all of the requirements normally contained in a joint venture
agreement. Until such time as a formal joint venture agreement
can be negotiated between the parties, there is a heightened risk
that disputes may arise between the JV Parties which may have
adverse financial impacts on the Company or cause delays in the
development of the Projects.
Section 3.1(e)
While the Company intends to negotiate a formal joint venture
agreement with Ardiden, there is no guarantee that the Company
will be able to negotiate a formal joint venture agreement on
terms favourable to the Company, or at all.
As with any joint venture, the JV Terms and any subsequent joint
venture agreement are subject to various counterparty risks
including failure by the joint venture counterparty, to act in the
best interests of the joint venture. Any failure by Ardiden to act
in the best interests of the joint venture may or may not give the
Company contractual remedies, however, even if such remedies
are available, they may be costly and time consuming to pursue.
TOPIC SUMMARY MORE INFORMATION
Summary of key risks
Royalties The Company, Churchill and Lithium Resources have entered
into the Production Payment Agreement (details in Section 6.3)
pursuant to which the Production Payment has been granted
to Churchill by Lithium Resources, with the Company acting as
guarantor for Lithium Resources.
Sections 3.1(h) and 6.3
In addition, the Company is aware of registered and unregistered
royalties which are over portions of the Projects. While the
Company has undertaken a search of the Claims register to
identify any historic royalties and has set out its findings in the
Solicitor's Report, there is a possibility that further historic royalties
may exist but may not have been registered against the Claims
and are therefore unknown by the Company.
As a result, there is a possibility that the Company may need
to pay royalties on some or all minerals derived from some of
the Claims upon the commencement of production from those
Claims. However, as at the date of this Prospectus, none of the
Projects are in the production phase, and Lithium Resources does
not have any existing current mining operations and therefore
there is no production on which any royalty may be payable.
Resource
estimation risks
Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities
with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given
that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource.
Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided
that this can be economically extracted. The calculation
and interpretation of resource estimates are by their nature
expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and
industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally
calculated may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or
when new information or techniques become available. This may
result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may
in turn adversely affect the Company's operations.
Section 3.2(e)
The Company has disclosed exploration targets. Exploration
targets are conceptual in nature and are used where there has
been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource.
Investors are cautioned that it is uncertain whether further
exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource on
the exploration targets.
Title and grant risk As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not the
registered owner of the Claims and its entitlement to the Claims
is limited to a contractual right to acquire up to an 80% legal and
beneficial interest in the Claims in accordance with the terms
of the Ardiden Option Agreement. The Company has taken all
reasonable steps to attempt to ensure that proper title to the
Claims has been ascertained and that all grants of such rights
thereunder, if any, have been registered with the appropriate
public offices. Despite the due diligence conducted by the
Company, there is no guarantee that title to such Claims will not
be challenged or impugned. The Company's mineral tenements
may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or
indigenous land claims and title may be affected by undetected
defects.
Section 3.2(a)
TOPIC SUMMARY MORE INFORMATION
Summary of key risks
Exploration and
development risk
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking.
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Projects or any
other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future
will result in the discovery of an economic resource.
Section 3.2(b)
Reliance on key
personnel
The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and
consultants, including members of the Board and its experienced
management team. The loss of one or more of these key contributors
could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.
Section 3.2(g)
Licenses, permits and
approvals
Many of the mineral rights and interests to be held by the
Company are subject to the need for ongoing or new government
approvals, licences and permits. These requirements, including
work permits and environmental approvals, will change as the
Company's operations develop. Delays in obtaining, or the
inability to obtain, required authorisations may significantly
impact on the Company's operations.
Section 3.2(n)
First Nations Risk Certain of the Projects may now or in the future be the subject
of First Nations land claims. The legal nature of First Nations land
claims is a matter of considerable complexity. The impact of any
such claim on the Company's material interest in the Projects and/
or potential ownership interest in the Projects in the future, cannot
be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can
be given that a broad recognition of First Nations rights in the
areas in which the Projects are located, by way of negotiated
settlements or judicial pronouncements, would not have an
adverse effect on the Company's activities. Even in the absence
of such recognition, the Company may at some point be required
to negotiate with and seek the approval of holders of First Nations
interests in order to facilitate exploration and development work
on the Company's mineral properties, there is no assurance
that the Company will be able to establish practical working
relationships with the First Nations in the area which would allow it
to ultimately develop the Company's mineral properties.
Section 3.2(l) and the
Solicitor's Report
Infectious diseases The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having a
material effect on global economic markets. The global economic
outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has
had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital
markets.
The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the
economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to
limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments
around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may
adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt
the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause
disruptions to supply chains.
Section 3.3(j)
General risks The Company is subject various general risks, including the
following (among others):
(a)
economic risk;
(b)
market conditions risk;
(c)
force majeure risk;
(d)
unforeseen expenditure risk; and
Section 3.3
(e)
climate change risk.

NOTES:

  1. See Section 2.11 for a breakdown of the proposed exploration budget.

  2. Expenses paid or payable by the Company in relation to the Offers are set out in Section 7.9.

  3. Working capital includes the general costs associated with the management and operation of the business including administration expenses, rent and other associated costs. Working capital also includes surplus funds and funds that may be applied to future acquisitions or royalty buy-backs. The Directors will allocate surplus funds at their discretion in the event the Company raises more than the Minimum Subscription under the Offers.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Prospectus. Investors should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors, including market conditions, the development of new opportunities and/or any number of other factors (including the risk factors outlined in Section 3), and actual expenditure levels, may differ significantly from the above estimates.

Although the Company's immediate focus will be on the Projects, as with most exploration entities, it will pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resource sector over time which complement its business. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.

The Board believes that the funds raised from the Offers will provide the Company with sufficient working capital to achieve its stated objectives as detailed in this Prospectus.

The use of further equity funding may be considered by the Board where it is appropriate to accelerate a specific project or strategy.

Based on the intended use of funds detailed above, the amount raised pursuant to the Offers will provide the Company sufficient funding for approximately 2 years' operations. As the Company has no operating revenue, the Company will require further financing in the future. See Section 3.1(b) for further details about the risks associated with the Company's future capital requirements.

1.5 JOINT LEAD MANAGERS' INTEREST IN THE OFFERS

Canaccord and Bell Potter (also referred to in this Prospectus as the "Joint Lead Managers") have been appointed as Joint Lead Managers to the General Offer. Canaccord and Bell Potter are parties to the Joint Lead Manager Mandate that is summarised in Section 6.4.

(A) FEES PAYABLE TO JOINT LEAD MANAGERS

The Company has or will pay to the Joint Lead Managers the following fees in connection with the General Offer (which includes the Priority Offer):

  • (i) no less than 3,630,000 and up to 3,950,000 JLM Options exercisable at \$0.375 per Share expiring four years from Admission to the Joint Lead Managers (or their nominees) on the terms and conditions set out in Section 7.2; and
  • (ii) a capital raise fee of 6% of the funds raised pursuant to the General Offer, comprising:
  • (A) a 3% management fee; and
  • (B) a 3% selling fee,

in accordance with the Joint Lead Manager Mandate summarised in Section 6.4.

(B) JOINT LEAD MANAGERS' INTERESTS IN SECURITIES

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Joint Lead Managers and their associates have a relevant interest in:

  • (i) 1,406,250 Shares (nil being held by Bell Potter and its associates and 1,406,250 being held by Canaccord and its associates); and
  • (ii) 1 Convertible Note, convertible into 1,250,000 Shares (none of which will be held by Bell Potter and its associates and 1,250,000 of which will be held by Canaccord and its associates).

Based on the information available to the Company as at the date of the Prospectus regarding the intentions of the Joint Lead Managers and their associates in relation to the Offers and assuming neither the Joint Lead Managers nor their associates take up Shares under the Offers, the Joint Lead Managers and their associates will have a relevant interest in 2,656,250 Shares (a percentage shareholding of 1.5% at Minimum Subscription) and between 3,630,000 and 3,950,000 JLM Options on Admission.

1.5 JOINT LEAD MANAGERS' INTEREST IN THE OFFERS (CONTINUED)

(C) JOINT LEAD MANAGERS' PARTICIPATION IN PREVIOUS PLACEMENTS

The Joint Lead Managers have not participated in a placement of Securities by the Company in the two years preceding lodgement of this Prospectus and associates of the Joint Lead Managers have not participated in a placement of Securities by the Company other than set out in Section 1.5(b).

1.6 FORECASTS

The Directors have considered the matters detailed in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

The Directors consequently believe that, given these inherent uncertainties, it is not possible to include reliable forecasts in this Prospectus.

1.8 CHESS AND ISSUER SPONSORSHIP

The Company will apply to participate in CHESS. All trading on the ASX will be settled through CHESS. ASX Settlement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. On behalf of the Company, the Share Registry will operate an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together make up the Company's principal register of securities.

Under CHESS, the Company will not issue certificates to Shareholders. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be sent to Shareholders as soon as practicable after allotment. Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company's Share Registry (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored subregister). The statements will set out the number of existing Shares (where applicable) and the number of new Shares allotted under this Prospectus and provide details of a Shareholder's holder identification number (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or Shareholder reference number (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each Shareholder at the end of each month in which there is a transaction on their holding, as required by the Listing Rules.

1.9 ASX LISTING AND OFFICIAL QUOTATION

Within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will apply to ASX for admission to the Official List and for the Shares, including those offered by this Prospectus, to be granted Official Quotation (apart from any Shares that may be designated by ASX as restricted securities).

If ASX does not grant permission for Official Quotation within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or within such longer period as may be permitted by ASIC) none of the Shares offered by this Prospectus will be allotted and issued. If no allotment and issue is made, all Application Monies will be refunded to Applicants (without interest) as soon as practicable.

ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.10 APPLICATION MONIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST

Application Monies will be held in trust for Applicants until the allotment of the Shares. Any interest that accrues will be retained by the Company.

1.11 ALLOCATION AND ISSUE OF SHARES

Other than the intended minimum allocation of 8,000 Shares (\$2,000) reserved for each Eligible Ardiden Shareholder who applies for Shares under the Priority Offer and the priority for Eligible Ardiden Shareholders for the remainder of the Priority Offer, the Directors will determine the recipients of Shares issued under the Offers in their sole discretion. The Directors, in conjunction with the Joint Lead Managers will allocate Shares at their sole discretion with a view to ensuring an appropriate Shareholder base for the Company going forward.

Any shortfall in the Priority Offer will be made available to subscribers in the General Offer.

The Company will consider any oversubscriptions in the Priority Offer with other applications in the General Offer.

There is no assurance that any Applicant will be allocated any Shares (unless otherwise provided in this Section 1.11), or the number of Shares for which it has applied. The Company reserves the right to reject any Application or to issue a lesser number of Shares than those applied for. Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as reasonably practicable after the General Offer Closing Date.

Subject to the matters in Section 1.9, Shares under the Offers are expected to be allotted on the Issue Date. It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Shares issued under the Offers. Applicants who sell Shares before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.

1.12 RISKS

Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative and involves a number of risks inherent in the various business segments of the Company. Section 3 details the key risk factors which prospective investors should be aware of. It is recommended that prospective investors consider these risks carefully before deciding whether to invest in the Company.

This Prospectus should be read in its entirety as it provides information for prospective investors to decide whether to invest in the Company. If you have any questions about the desirability of, or procedure for, investing in the Company please contact your stockbroker, accountant or other independent adviser.

1.13 OVERSEAS APPLICANTS

No action has been taken to register or qualify the Securities, or the Offers, or otherwise to permit the offering of the Securities, in any jurisdiction outside of Australia.

The distribution of this Prospectus within jurisdictions outside of Australia may be restricted by law and persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes should observe, any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of those laws. Each Applicant outside Australia must complete a confirmation letter in which the Applicant confirms its status to participate in the General Offer under applicable law.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to issue this Prospectus. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the Securities may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.

(A) CANADA (BRITISH COLUMBIA, ONTARIO AND QUEBEC PROVINCES)

This document constitutes an offering of Shares only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (Provinces), only to persons to whom Shares may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such securities. This document is not a prospectus, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This document may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons who are "accredited investors" within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

No securities commission or authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the Shares or the offering of the Shares and any representation to the contrary is an offence.

No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of Shares or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. While such resale restrictions generally do not apply to a first trade in a security of a foreign, non-Canadian reporting issuer that is made through an exchange or market outside Canada, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the Shares.

The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.

Any financial information contained in this document has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this document are in Australian dollars.

Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission. Securities legislation in certain Provinces may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if an offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation, provided the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's Province. A purchaser may refer to any applicable provision of the securities legislation of the purchaser's Province for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Shares as there are Canadian tax implications for investors in the Provinces.

Language of documents in Canada. Upon receipt of this document, each investor in Canada hereby confirms that it has expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of the Shares (including for greater certainty any purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in the English language only. Par la réception de ce document, chaque investisseur canadien confirme par les présentes qu'il a expressément exigé que tous les documents faisant foi ou se rapportant de quelque manière que ce soit à la vente des valeurs mobilières décrites aux présentes (incluant, pour plus de certitude, toute confirmation d'achat ou tout avis) soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

(B) EUROPEAN UNION

This document has not been, and will not be, registered with or approved by any securities regulator in the European Union. Accordingly, this document may not be made available, nor may the Shares be offered for sale, in the European Union except in circumstances that do not require a prospectus under Article 1(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (Prospectus Regulation).

In accordance with Article 1(4)(a) of the Prospectus Regulation, an offer of Shares in the European Union is limited to persons who are "qualified investors" (as defined in Article 2(e) of the Prospectus Regulation).

(C) HONG KONG

(together, the Group Subsidiaries).

Further information on the ownership structure of the Projects is set out in Section 6.1 and the Solicitor's Report.

2.4 OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECTS

Exploration and development of lithium projects in Ontario commenced in the 1950s. A recent revival of interest in lithium has been driven by the threat of global warming from the burning of fossil fuels, combined with the recognition that a transition to electric and hybrid vehicles, which are powered by lithium batteries, could substantially reduce any nation's carbon footprint and its reliance on oil and other fossil fuels (decarbonisation).

In June 2021, the US Government Office of Efficiency & Renewable Energy published a National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries,1 which emphasised the importance of:

  • (a) securing access to inputs; and
  • (b) supporting a U.S. materials processing base.

The Projects are strategically placed in North America close to transcontinental rail, road and shipping lanes. The Company is uniquely positioned to develop and then supply lithium concentrate SC6 "inputs" to the United States "materials processing base".

2.5 EXPLORATION HISTORY

In 1957, local prospector, Mr Nelson Aubry, discovered the North Aubry and the South Aubry pegmatites at the Seymour Project. Geological mapping by the Ontario Department of Mines commenced in 1959 and was completed in 1962 (Pye, 19682 ), with the publication of "Map 2100 Crescent Lake Area" in 1965.

The Root Project includes the McCombe and Morrison lithium pegmatites, along with the Root Bay lithium pegmatite exposures. All prospects consist of spodumene-bearing pegmatite(s) discovered in the 1950s and tested by diamond drilling and grab sampling.

The Wisa Project contains several spodumene-bearing pegmatites which were discovered in the mid-1950s. In 1956, Lexindin Gold Mines Ltd. completed a total of 20 drillholes (backpack and AQ-sized core) over a strike length of 335m and to a depth of approximately 65m all intersecting spodumene.

Ardiden (the current owner of the Projects) has focussed predominantly on resource definition at the Seymour Project, and to a lesser extent, resource extension and exploration across the portfolio. In March 2019 an aggregate Mineral Resource of 4.8 Mt @ 1.25% Li2 O and 186ppm Ta2 O5 , in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) was defined at the Seymour Project.

Subsequently, there has been minimal exploration on the portfolio of tenements with activities undertaken focussing on rock chip sampling, scout drilling, data compilation and desktop/resource studies.

There has been no historical production on the Claims.

Refer to the Independent Geologist Report included in Annexure C for further details on the exploration history and exploration results on the Claims.

2.6 SEYMOUR PROJECT

The Seymour Project is located near the township of Armstrong and approximately 230km north of the major regional township and port of Thunder Bay which has a long mining history and a base for geological and mining contractors. The Seymour Project hosts 4.8 Mt at 1.25% Li2 O resource in accordance with the JORC Code which is open along strike and down dip.

North Aubry Inferred 1.7 1.50 189
South Aubry Inferred 1.0 0.80 128
Total 4.8 1.25 186

Mr Phil Jones has given, and has not withdrawn prior to the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC, his written consent to being named in this Prospectus as the Competent Person for the Seymour Mineral Resource in the form and context in which it appears.

The information required by Listing Rule 5.8.1 is located at section 5 of Annexure C.

In addition to the mineral resource, the Seymour Project contains an Exploration Target of approximately 22 to 26 Mt @ 0.8 to 1.5% Li2 O. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

2.6 SEYMOUR PROJECT (CONTINUED)

Figure 3: Created by the Company September 2021

The Exploration Target was generated using MicromineTM implicit vein modelling module. The pegmatites were extrapolated to a maximum depth of 500m below surface and along strike, where appropriate, with interpreted points snapped to existing drillhole intercepts. Interpreted points were based on logged pegmatite intervals downhole. The tonnage figures in the Exploration Target do not include the existing Seymour Mineral Resource tonnages already reported.

The Seymour Mineral Resource Inferred category grade range of 0.8 to 1.5% Li2 O was deemed the most representative and supported by the surrounding exploration results.

The specific gravity came from AGAT Labs in Thunder Bay who tested 369 Seymour pegmatite samples using a Pychnometer (method# 201-049) resulting in an average SG of 2.78.

The Exploration Results which support the Exploration Target have been included in the Independent Geologist Report at Annexure C.

The planned exploration and timing of these activities to test the validity of the Exploration Target have been detailed in the "Proposed Exploration Budgets" at Section 2.11.

Major intercepts in the exploration results which support the Exploration Target were based on a minimum grade of 0.8 Li2 O and a minimum width of 5m. The 10 most significant intercepts are set out below, which have been included to demonstrate potential prospectivity and do not purport to be representative of all intercepts. Further information on the underlying exploration is set out at Annexure C:

2.7 ROOT PROJECT

The Root Project is located near the township of Slate Falls and approximately 300km northwest of Thunder Bay. The Root Project hosts a Historical Estimate which has been superseded by an Exploration Target supported by Exploration Results and is open along strike and down dip.

An Exploration Target of approximately 20 to 24 Mt @ 0.8 to 1.5% Li2O has been assigned to the Root Project. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Figure 5: Created by the Company September 2021

The Exploration Target at Root is the combination of two prospects:

  • (a) McCombe which hosted a Historical Estimate that has been superseded by the Exploration Target; and
  • (b) Morrison.

The McCombe Exploration Target was created using MicromineTM Implicit vein modelling module utilising assay and logged pegmatite intervals. Minor pegmatites were truncated against what were deemed major pegmatites. Veins were snapped to downhole intercepts and extrapolated to a maximum of 500m where appropriate.

The Morrison Exploration Target was created using MicromineTM Implicit intrusive modelling module utilising pegmatite intrusion extractions from logged drillhole intervals and available assays. Extrapolation was restricted to less than 500m from the last drillhole intercept.

The Seymour Mineral Resource Inferred category grade range of 0.8 to 1.5% Li2O are analogous to those grades found at Root and deemed the most representative, they are also supported by the surrounding Exploration Results.

The specific gravity came from AGAT Labs in Thunder Bay who tested 369 Seymour pegmatite samples using a Pychnometer (method# 201-049) resulting in an average SG of 2.78.

The Exploration Results which support the Exploration Target have been included in the Independent Geologist Report at Annexure C.

The Planned Exploration and timing of these activities to test the validity of the Exploration Target have been included in the "Proposed Exploration Budgets" at Section 2.11.

NOTE:

All figures in metres unless otherwise stated.

An additional 4.8km of exploration potential exists along strike of the Exploration Target with pegmatite exposures up to 20m thick and historical drilling confirming depths greater than 100m. The Exploration Target sits within Patent & Claims which means the Company will have a 51% interest in the land and minerals rights at Admission.

Figure 6: Created by the Company September 2021

2.8 WISA PROJECT

The Wisa Project is located 8km north of the US Border and approximately 100km east of Fort Francis, the border town to the US. The project hosts a Historical Estimate which has been superseded by an Exploration Target supported by Exploration Results and is open along strike and down dip.

An Exploration Target of approximately 8 to 10 Mt @ 0.8 to 1.5% Li2O has been assigned to the Wisa Project. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

The Exploration Target at Wisa is the combination of two prospects:

  • (a) North Wisa which hosted a Historical Estimate that has been superseded by the Exploration Target; and
  • (b) South Wisa.

The North Wisa Exploration Target was generated using MicromineTM Implicit intrusive modelling module. The pegmatites were extrapolated to a maximum depth of 500m below surface and along strike, where appropriate, with interpreted points snapped to existing drillhole intercepts. Interpreted points were based on logged pegmatite intervals downhole.

The South Wisa Exploration Target had insufficient drilling to apply implicit modelling techniques, instead 2D polygons were created that represented the pegmatite widths and strike from existing limited pegmatite drilling intercepts. The polygons were then extrapolated to a maximum depth of 500m from the nearest intercept.

Figure 7: Created by the Company September 2021

Mr Luke Cox has given, and has not withdrawn prior to the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC, his written consent to being named in this Prospectus as the Competent Person for the Exploration Targets at the Seymour Project, Root Project and Wisa Project set out in this Prospectus, in the form and context in which the respective Exploration Targets appear.

2.8 WISA PROJECT (CONTINUED)

The Seymour Mineral Resource Inferred category grade range of 0.8 to 1.5% Li2O are analogous to those grades found at Wisa and deemed the most representative, they are also supported by the surrounding Exploration Results.

The specific gravity came from AGAT Labs in Thunder Bay who tested 369 Seymour pegmatite samples using a Pychnometer (method# 201-049) resulting in an average SG of 2.78.

The Exploration Results which support the Exploration Target have been included in the appendices Independent Geologist Report at Annexure C.

The planned exploration and timing of these activities to test the validity of the Exploration Target have been included in the "Proposed Exploration Budgets" at Section 1.3 and Annexure C.

Primary pegmatite has been mapped along strike for 1.5km with widths exceeding 20m. Initial exploration mapping and sampling has delineated a pegmatite swarm with elevated Tantalum in the west and elevated Lithium in the east.

2.10 BUSINESS STRATEGY/OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPANY

Following Admission, the Company's primary medium-term focus will be on the development and expansion of JORC compliant Mineral Resource across the various Project areas. To achieve this, the Company will develop close ties to the local First Nations people and the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forests. Subject to the Company successfully delineating further or improved Mineral Resources on the Projects, it intends to undertake pre-feasibility studies to assess its potential optionality to undertake a bankable feasibility and ultimately, production on one or more of the Projects. The Company's use of funds set out in Section 1.3 does not allocate funds towards the provision of a bankable feasibility study or the commencement of production. Investors are cautioned that the Company will require further funding in order to undertake feasibility studies and enter production and that there is no guarantee that such funding will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms or at all. Similarly, there is no guarantee the Company will be able to delineate further or improved Mineral Resources in a timely manner, or at all. For further information on the risks associated with exploration and development, resource estimation and future funding requirements, please see Sections 3.2(b), 3.2(e) and 3.1(b) respectively.

The Company's vision is to become a major hard rock lithium supplier to downstream processors in North America. To achieve this goal, the Company aims to utilise green technology and green energy wherever practical. With excellent proximity to hydro power and world leading water-saving dense media separation technology, the Company believes it will offer an attractive product that both minimises harm and impact to the environment, whilst delivering a premium, coarse Spodumene product to buyers.

Although the Company's immediate focus will be on the Projects, as with most exploration entities, it will pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resource sector over time which complement its resource base. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farmins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation. The Board will assess the suitability of investment opportunities by utilising its extensive experience in evaluating projects.

2.11 PROPOSED EXPLORATION BUDGETS

The Company proposes to fund its intended activities as outlined in the table below from the proceeds of the Offers. It should be noted that the budgets will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from exploration undertaken. This will involve an ongoing assessment of the Projects and may lead to increased or decreased levels of expenditure on certain interests, reflecting a change in emphasis. Subject to the above, the following budget takes into account the proposed expenses over the next two years to complete initial exploration of the Claims.

2.11 PROPOSED EXPLORATION BUDGETS (CONTINUED)

As budgeted below, the Company's exploration expenditure will exceed the expenditure requirements for each of the Claims (see Annexure B for further details):

2.11 PROPOSED EXPLORATION BUDGETS (CONTINUED)

The Company looks forward to the next two years of brownfields exploration as a watershed period for the Projects.

The Company aims to strike a balance between First Nations commitments, seasonal weather considerations and leading-edge technology and exploration techniques to ensure that the portfolio of Projects are developed steadily and diligently.

Regular LCT pegmatite Lithium exploration techniques will be considered for use:

  • (a) Soil and stream sampling for Li and Li pathfinders such as Sn, Bi, Cs and Ta;
  • (b) Parent granite zonation/fertility tests using Sn, Be and Nb totals;
  • (c) Local scale aeromagnetic and LiDAR surveys;
  • (d) Field mapping and field sampling;
  • (e) "Goldilocks zone" LCT style regional scale desktop mapping;
  • (f) Trenching and excavation; and
  • (g) Drilling.

In general, clearing leads drilling, which then leads assaying; but for the most part, those functions are in parallel. Diamond drilling is to be used over the snowy months and will predominantly be extensional drilling. This allows for heated drilling conditions (inside the drill housings, which RC cannot do) and requires smaller lines and clearing.

Further, the Company has scheduled the drilling to ensure that at almost all times, there is a single drill rig operational. This ensures safety and environmental processes are managed in a responsible fashion. It also seeks to smooth workload profiles and cash burn.

The below table sets out an indicative breakdown of metres to be drilled. The below table is indicative only and is subject to change.

2.12 DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future as its focus will primarily be on growing the existing businesses.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend upon matters such as the availability of distributable earnings, the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements, general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurances are given in relation to the payment of dividends, or that any dividends may attach franking credits.

Risk Factors 03.

As with any share investment, there are risks involved. This Section identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the potential risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

Any investment in the Company under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

3.1 RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPANY

(A) LIMITED HISTORY

The Company was incorporated on 12 March 2021 and therefore has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is likely to continue to incur operational losses.

(B) FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Offers should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus.

3.1 RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPANY (CONTINUED)

In order to successfully develop the Projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities including resulting in the Claims being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.

(C) CONDITIONALITY OF OFFERS

The obligation of the Company to issue the Shares under the Offers is conditional on ASX granting approval for Admission to the Official List. If this condition is not satisfied, the Company will not proceed with the Offers. Failure to complete the Offers may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

(D) CONTRACTUAL RISK

Pursuant to the Ardiden Option Agreement (summarised at Section 6.1), the Company has the option to acquire up to an 80% legal and beneficial interest in the Projects from Ardiden. In order to maintain its interest in the Projects, the Company must issue Ardiden the Tranche 1 Consideration Shares and the Tranche 2 Consideration Shares and/or pay Ardiden the cash value of the Consideration Shares.

In the event the Company is unable to deliver the Tranche 1 Consideration Shares or cash payment, the Offers will not complete.

In the event the Company is unable to deliver the Tranche 2 Consideration Shares or cash payment within 12 months of Admission, the Company's interest in the Projects will remain at 51% and it will no longer have a right to acquire a further 29% interest in the Projects.

The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may be materially affected by the performance by the parties of its obligations under certain agreements, including the Ardiden Option Agreement (details in Section 6.1). If any party defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.

If the Company enters into agreements with third parties for the acquisition or divestment of equity interests in mineral exploration and mining projects there are no guarantees that any such contractual obligations will be satisfied in part or in full.

(E) JOINT VENTURE RISK

The Company and Ardiden will form a joint venture, which, until such time as a formal joint venture agreement has been entered into, will be governed by the key joint venture terms set out in the Ardiden Option Agreement (JV Terms). While the JV Terms set out key operating provisions for a joint venture agreement, the JV Terms are not comprehensive and do not purport to cover all of the requirements normally contained in a joint venture agreement. Until such time as a formal joint venture agreement can be negotiated between the parties, there is a heightened risk that disputes may arise between the JV Parties which may have adverse financial impacts on the Company or cause delays in the development of the Projects.

While the Company intends to negotiate a formal joint venture agreement with Ardiden, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to negotiate a formal joint venture agreement on terms favourable to the Company, or at all.

As with any joint venture, the JV Terms and any subsequent joint venture agreement are subject to various counterparty risks including failure by the joint venture counterparty, to act in the best interests of the joint venture. Any failure by Ardiden to act in the best interests of the joint venture may or may not give the Company contractual remedies, however, even if such remedies are available, they may be costly and time consuming to pursue.

(F) POTENTIAL FOR DILUTION

On completion of the Offers and the subsequent issue of Shares pursuant to the Offers, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 72,500,000 to 181,500,000 (at Minimum Subscription) and 197,500,000 (at Maximum Subscription). This means the number of Shares on issue will increase by up to approximately 172% on completion of the Offers. On this basis, existing Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offers (and even if they do), their holdings may be considerably diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).

Under the Ardiden Option Agreement, the Company is required to issue the Consideration Shares or pay Ardiden the cash equivalent in order to secure its 51% interest in the Project at Admission and further to increase its interest in the Projects to 80% within 12 months of Admission. The issue of the Consideration Shares will cause dilution to Shareholders as set out in Section 1.4. Similarly, if the Company elects to pay the cash equivalent to Ardiden, it will be required to raise funds from equity issues, which will have a similar dilutionary effect on Shareholders' interests.

As set out in Section 6.1, in the event the Company's Share Price is below \$0.25 at the date it intends to issue the Tranche 2 Consideration Shares, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval to issue Shares with a value sufficient to satisfy the Tranche 2 Deficiency, or pay the value of the Tranche 2 Deficiency out in cash. Should the Company be required to undertake these actions, it will incur dilution greater than is currently contemplated in Section 1.4.

(G) NEW PROJECTS AND ACQUISITIONS

Although the Company's immediate focus will be on the Projects, as with most exploration entities, it will pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resource sector over time which complement its business. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.

The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/ or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current Projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the Projects and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.

3.1 RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPANY (CONTINUED)

(H) ROYALTIES

The Company, Churchill and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Resources have entered into the Production Payment Agreement (further details which are set out in Section 6.3) pursuant to which the Production Payment has been granted to Churchill by Lithium Resources with the Company acting as guarantor for Lithium Resources.

As a result, there is a possibility that the Company will be required to pay royalties on a percentage of minerals derived from the Claims upon the commencement of production from those Claims. However, as at the date of this Prospectus, none of the Projects are in the production phase, and Lithium Resources do not have any existing current mining operations and therefore there is no production on which any royalty may be payable.

Similarly, the Company is aware of registered and unregistered royalties which are over portions of the Projects. These royalties include:

  • (i) a 3% net smelter returns royalty in favour of Landore Resources Canada Inc., over thirty-five Claims in the Root Project;
  • (ii) two unregistered 1.5% net smelter returns royalties (for an aggregate of 3% net smelter return royalties) held by third parties encumber each of the Claims making up the Seymour Project; and
  • (iii) a 1% net smelter return royalty in favour of Aurico Canadian Royalties Holdings Inc. over one Claim in the Wisa Project.

Further information is set out in the Solicitor's Report in Annexure B. While the Company has undertaken a search of the Claims register to identify any historic royalties and has set out its findings in the Solicitor's Report, there is a possibility that further historic royalties may not have been registered against the Claims.

3.2 MINING INDUSTRY RISKS

(A) TITLE AND GRANT RISK

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not the registered owner of the Claims and its entitlement to the Claims is limited to a contractual right to acquire up to an 80% legal and beneficial interest in the Claims in accordance with the terms of the Ardiden Option Agreement. The Company has taken all reasonable steps to attempt to ensure that proper title to the Claims has been ascertained and that all grants of such rights thereunder, if any, have been registered with the appropriate public offices.

Despite the due diligence conducted by the Company, there is no guarantee that title to such Claims will not be challenged or impugned. The Company's mineral tenements may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or indigenous land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.

(B) EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT RISKS

Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource.

Exploration in terrains with existing mineralisation endowments and known occurrences may slightly mitigate this risk. However, as noted in the Independent Geologist Report, some of the data included in the Independent Geologist Report predates modern mining techniques and is considered to be historical data that has not been verified by independent personnel. No reliance should be placed on such historical data.

Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited due to various issues including lack of ongoing funding, land tenure, land use, adverse government policy, geological conditions, proximity to existing infrastructure and ability to build required additional infrastructure, taxes, royalties, commodity prices or other technical difficulties.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, fires (including forest fires), power failures, labour disputes, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company. The availability of insurance for such hazards and risks is extremely limited or uneconomical at this time.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its Projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its Projects.

(C) OPERATING RISK

There are significant risks in developing a mine and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve economic production from any of the Claims. In addition, the operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its Projects. The Company has a limited operating history and its mineral properties are exploration stage properties. As such, the Company will be subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. The current state of the Company's mineral properties require significant additional expenditures before any cash flow may be generated. Although the Company possesses an experienced management team, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of any business. There is no assurance that the Company can generate revenues, operate profitably, or provide a return on investment, or that it will successfully implement its plans.

(D) METALLURGY

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

  • (i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
  • (ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
  • (iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.

(E) RESOURCE ESTIMATION RISKS

Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. The calculation and interpretation of Mineral Resource estimates are by their nature expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Mineral Resource estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or when new information or techniques become available. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may in turn adversely affect the Company's operations.

The Company has disclosed Exploration Targets. Exploration targets are conceptual in nature and are used where there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. Investors are cautioned that it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource on the exploration targets.

3.2 MINING INDUSTRY RISKS (CONTINUED)

(F) PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

Pursuant to the Claims comprising the Company's Projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the Claims. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the Claims subject to forfeiture or result in the holders being liable for fees. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in the Projects.

(G) RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board and its experienced management team. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.

It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.

(H) MINERALS AND CURRENCY PRICE VOLATILITY

The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its Projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. It is anticipated that any revenues derived from mining will primarily be derived from the sale of lithium. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of base metals and the terms of any off-take agreements that the Company enters into.

The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. These variables include world demand for gold that may be mined commercially in the future from the Company's project areas, forward selling by producers and production cost levels in major mineral-producing regions. Mineral prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as general global economic conditions and expectations regarding inflation and interest rates. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Minerals are principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. The Company's cost base will be payable in various currencies including Australian dollars and US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The Company may undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board to mitigate such risks.

(I) COMPETITION RISK

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition, including major mineral exploration and production companies. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's Projects and business.

Some of the Company's competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

(J) SOVEREIGN RISK

The Company's Projects in Canada are subject to the risks associated in operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, labour relations as well as government control over natural resources or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company has projects that affect foreign ownership, exploration, development or activities of companies involved in exploration and production, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

(K) TENURE AND LAND ACCESS RISK

Land access is critical for exploration and/or exploitation to succeed. It requires both access to the mineral rights and access to the surface rights. Minerals rights may be negotiated and acquired. In all cases the acquisition of prospective exploration and mining claims is a competitive business, in which proprietary knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential. The Company may not be successful in acquiring or obtaining the necessary mining claims and access to surface rights required to conduct exploration or evaluation activities outside of the mineral Claims.

As the Company's rights in the Claims may be obtained by grant by regulatory authorities or be subject to contracts with third parties, any third party may terminate or rescind the relevant agreement whether lawfully or not and, accordingly, the Company may lose its rights to exclusive use of, and access to any, or all, of the Claims. Third parties may also default on their obligations under the contracts which may lead to termination of the contracts. Additionally, the Company may not be able to access the Claims due to natural disasters or adverse weather conditions, political unrest, hostilities or failure to obtain the relevant approvals and consents.

Once a Mining Claim has been registered, a licensee is permitted to enter onto provincial Crown and private lands that are open for exploration covered by Mining Claim(s) and conduct preliminary exploratory and assessment work on the subject lands.

Exploratory drilling that uses a drill that weighs less than 150 kilograms requires an exploration plan issued by the Ministry. Exploratory drilling that uses a drill that weighs more than 150 kilograms requires an exploration permit issued by the Ministry (Permit). The Company considers that the existing Permits granted on the Claims are sufficient to facilitate the exploration programme contemplated in Section 2.11, however, Permits must be renewed from time to time.

(L) FIRST NATIONS RISK

Certain of the Projects may now or in the future be the subject of First Nations land claims. The legal nature of First Nations land claims is a matter of considerable complexity. The impact of any such claim on the Company's material interest in the Projects and/or potential ownership interest in the Projects in the future, cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of First Nations rights in the areas in which the Projects are located, by way of negotiated settlements or judicial pronouncements, would not have an adverse effect on the Company's activities. Even in the absence of such recognition, the Company may at some point be required to negotiate with and seek the approval of holders of First Nations interests in order to facilitate exploration and development work on the Company's mineral properties, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to establish practical working relationships with the First Nations in the area which would allow it to ultimately develop the Company's mineral properties.

3.2 MINING INDUSTRY RISKS (CONTINUED)

M) ENVIRONMENTAL RISK

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to Provincial and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. The current or future operations of the Company, including exploration and development activities and commencement of production on the Projects, require permits from various governmental authorities. Such operations are governed by laws and regulations that govern prospecting, mining, development, production, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety, and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production as a result of needing to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. There can be no assurance that all permits that the Company requires for future, exploration, development, construction and operation of mining facilities and the conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations would not have an adverse effect on the operations of the Company.

The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.

Government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.

Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.

There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. There is also a risk that the Company's operations and financial position may be adversely affected by the actions of environmental groups or any other group or person opposed in general to the Company's activities and, in particular, the proposed exploration and mining by the Company within the Province of Ontario.

(N) LICENCES, PERMITS AND APPROVALS

Many of the mineral rights and interests to be held by the Company are subject to the need for ongoing or new government approvals, licences and permits. These requirements, including work permits and environmental approvals, will change as the Company's operations develop. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, required authorisations may significantly impact on the Company's operations.

(O) HERITAGE AND SOCIOLOGICAL RISK

Some of the Claims which the Company proposes to mine may be of significance from a heritage or sociological perspective. Some sites of significance may be identified within the Claims and the Company may be hindered by legal and cultural restrictions on mining those Claims.

(P) CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Certain Directors are also directors and officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions. Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which these Directors become aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in the first instance. Although these Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to the situations that could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, the Company, there exists actual and potential conflicts of interest among these persons.

The Company is party to a Production Payment Agreement, which is a related party agreement as set out in Section 6.3. Any future disputes as to future Production Payments under the Production Payment Agreement will create actual conflicts of interest between the relevant interested Directors, which will need to be managed by the remainder of the Board and will require the relevant interested Directors to abstain from discussions involving the Production Payment Agreement.

3.3 GENERAL RISKS

(A) ECONOMIC RISKS

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

As with any exploration or mining project, the economics are sensitive to metal and commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for minerals, technological advances, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. These prices may fluctuate to a level where the proposed mining operations are not profitable. Should the Company achieve success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities also exposes potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.

(B) MARKET CONDITIONS

The market price of the Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular.

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;
  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
  • (iii) currency fluctuations;
  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment;
  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(C) FORCE MAJEURE

The Company's Projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes.

3.2 MINING INDUSTRY RISKS (CONTINUED)

(D) GOVERNMENT AND LEGAL RISK

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to explore and mine.

The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the Projects. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of its Projects. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.

(E) LITIGATION RISKS

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any material litigation.

(F) INSURANCE RISKS

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

(G) TAXATION

The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Securities from a taxation point of view and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Shares under this Prospectus.

(H) UNFORESEEN EXPENDITURE RISK

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

(I) CLIMATE CHANGE RISKS

Climate change is a risk the Company has considered, particularly related to its operations in the mining industry. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:

  • (i) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and
  • (ii) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.

(J) INFECTIOUS DISEASES

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets.

The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains.

3.4 SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

4.6 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(A) HISTORICAL STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

The Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Company detailed above has been extracted without adjustment from the audited financial statements of the Company for the period from 12 March to 30 June 2021.

(B) PRO FORMA HISTORICAL STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

The Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position has been compiled by extracting the Historical Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 30 June 2021 and reflecting the Directors' pro forma adjustments for the impact of the following subsequent events and other transactions which are proposed to occur immediately before or following completion of the Offers.

The following adjustments have been made in relation to events subsequent to 30 June 2021:

(C) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Financial Information are detailed below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

(i) New or amended Accounting Standards and interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Historical cost convention

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below.

(ii) Going concern

The Financial Information has been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Financial Information does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

(iii) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated Financial Information incorporates the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Green Technology Metals Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Green Technology Metals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in Section 4 as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

4.6 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

(iv) Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Green Technology Metals Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

(v) Revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

(vi) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

  • (A) When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
  • (B) When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Green Technology Metals Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

(vii) Current and non-current classifications

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

(viii)Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(ix) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

4.6 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

(x) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs associated with mining tenements are accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that the rights of tenure to that area of interest are current and that the costs are expected to be recouped through the successful commercial development or sale of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

Each area of interest is also reviewed annually, and acquisition costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.

(xi) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the entity prior to the end of the accounting period and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(xii) Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(xiii)Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment.

No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • (A) during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period; and
  • (B) from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

(xiv)Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

4.6 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

(xv) Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(xvi) Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

(xvii) Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

5.8 ASX CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COUNCIL PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the Company's policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted the 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Recommendations).

In light of the Company's size and nature, the Board considers that the current Board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are detailed below. The Company's full Corporate Governance Plan is available in a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company's website at https://www.greentm.com.au/.

(A) BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. Clearly articulating the division of responsibilities between the Board and management will help manage expectations and avoid misunderstandings about their respective roles and accountabilities.

In general, the Board assumes (amongst others) the following responsibilities:

  • (i) providing leadership and setting the strategic objectives of the Company;
  • (ii) appointing and when necessary replacing the Executive Directors;
  • (iii) approving the appointment and when necessary replacement, of other senior executives;
  • (iv) undertaking appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a Director;
  • (v) overseeing management's implementation of the Company's strategic objectives and its performance generally;
  • (vi) approving operating budgets and major capital expenditure;
  • (vii) overseeing the integrity of the Company's accounting and corporate reporting systems including the external audit;
  • (viii) overseeing the Company's process for making timely and balanced disclosure of all material information concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities;
  • (ix) ensuring that the Company has in place an appropriate risk management framework and setting the risk appetite within which the Board expects management to operate; and
  • (x) monitoring the effectiveness of the Company's governance practices.

The Company is committed to ensuring that appropriate checks are undertaken before the appointment of a Director and has in place written agreements with each Director which detail the terms of their appointment.

(B) COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in a general meeting. The Board currently consists of four Non-Executive Directors one of which the Company considers independent. As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the composition of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

(C) IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT OF RISK

The Board's collective experience will assist in the identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company's business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

(D) ETHICAL STANDARDS

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

(E) INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

Subject to the Chairman's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company's expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

(F) REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS

The remuneration of any Executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision-making process.

In addition, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director (eg non-cash performance incentives such as options).

Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by them in the course of the performance of their duties as Directors.

The Board reviews and approves the Company's remuneration policy in order to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders, having regard to the amount considered to be commensurate for an entity of the Company's size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors' time, commitment and responsibility.

The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.

(G) SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (ie Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the Executive Directors). The policy generally provides that the written acknowledgement of the Chairman (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.

(H) DIVERSITY POLICY

The Board values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation's ability to achieve its goals. Accordingly, the Company has set in place a diversity policy. This policy outlines the Company's diversity objectives in relation to gender, age, cultural background and ethnicity.

Material Contracts 06.

The Directors consider that certain contracts entered into by the Company are material to the Company or are of such a nature that an investor may wish to have particulars of them when assessing whether to apply for Shares under the Offers. The provisions of such material contracts are summarised in this Section.

6.1 ARDIDEN OPTION AGREEMENT

The Company entered into a binding Option Agreement with Ardiden Limited dated 6 May 2021, which was amended on 27 July 2021 (Ardiden Option Agreement), pursuant to which the Company has an exclusive option to acquire up to an 80% legal and beneficial ownership of the Projects and associated mining information.

The Ardiden Option Agreement is subject to the following material conditions precedent:

  • (a) Ardiden obtaining shareholder approval for the sale of the Projects as contemplated in the Ardiden Option Agreement (which was satisfied on 15 September 2021); and
  • (b) all relevant third party consents and approvals.

On 11 May 2021, the Company paid the \$200,000 Option fee to Ardiden. On 23 June 2021, the Company exercised the Option to acquire up to a 80% legal and beneficial interest in the Projects.

The Company has agreed to the following consideration for the Acquisition:

  • (a) prior to Admission, a cash payment of \$1,500,000 to Ardiden (Consideration Payment);
  • (b) immediately prior to Admission, a total value of A\$4,000,000 (Tranche 1 Consideration) comprised of:
  • (i) \$1,750,000 in cash, which will be paid from cash proceeds of the Offers and will only be made after the issue of Securities under the Offers; and
  • (ii) \$2,250,000 comprising (at the election of the Company):
    • (A) 9,000,000 Shares (at a deemed issue price of \$0.25 per Share) (Tranche 1 Consideration Shares); or
    • (B) cash; or

a combination of cash and Shares; and

6.1 ARDIDEN OPTION AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

  • (c) by no later than the date that is 12 months after Admission, either (at the election of the Company in its discretion):
  • (i) pay Ardiden \$3,500,000 in cash; or
  • (ii) issue Shares to Ardiden with a total value of \$3,500,000 calculated using the volume weighted average market price of the Shares on the ASX calculated over the most recent 5 Trading Days prior to the date of issue of the relevant shares (Share Price) (Tranche 2 Consideration Shares), (Tranche 2 Consideration).

The Company intends to satisfy the Tranche 1 Consideration through the issue of 9,000,000 Shares and \$1,750,000 in cash.

The issue of the Consideration Shares is subject to:

  • (a) the Company completing the General Offer;
  • (b) the Company obtaining any shareholder approvals required by Listing Rules, which would be required in the event the Company is required to issue Shares in excess of the Tranche 2 Limit in order to satisfy the Tranche 2 Consideration payment; and
  • (c) Ardiden (or its nominee) executing and delivering to the Company escrow deeds for Ardiden (or its nominees) for that number of Consideration Shares and in that form as required by ASX (if any).

Upon the earlier of receipt of a Conditional Admission Letter or the delivery of the Tranche 1 Consideration, the Company will obtain a 51% legal and beneficial interest in the Projects (Completion) and will be able to access the Projects and expend funds in the Project as set out in Section 2.11.

If the Company is unable to deliver the Tranche 2 Consideration within 12 months of Admission, the Company's interest in the Projects will remain at 51% and it will no longer have a right to acquire a further 29% interest in the Projects.

The Ardiden Option Agreement otherwise contains various additional provisions considered standard for agreements of this kind.

The Company intends to rely on Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16 to issue the Tranche 2 Consideration Shares. The maximum number of Tranche 2 Consideration Shares that may be issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16 is 9,000,000, being \$3,500,000 divided by the minimum possible deemed Share Price of \$0.25 (Floor Price).

In the event that the Share Price is below \$0.25, the deemed value of the Tranche 2 Consideration Shares will be less than \$3,500,000 (Tranche 2 Deficiency) and the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval to issue Shares with a value sufficient to satisfy the Tranche 2 Deficiency, or pay the value of the Tranche 2 Deficiency out in cash. At no stage will the Company issue Shares to Ardiden if such an issue would cause Ardiden to have a voting power in the Company equal to or above 20%.

In the event the Company issues the Tranche 2 Consideration Shares (and assuming no other Shares are issued), Ardiden will have an interest in the Company as set out in Section 1.4.

On Completion, an unincorporated joint venture in respect of the Claims will automatically be formed between the Company and Ardiden (JV Parties). The terms of the proposed joint venture are set out in Section 6.2.

6.2 JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT

The Ardiden Option Agreement contains a schedule of JV Terms, which is binding on the JV Parties until such time as a formal joint venture agreement is negotiated and entered into. The material JV Terms are as follows:

  • (a) the Company will be the manager of the joint venture (Joint Venture) for so long as it holds an interest in the Joint Venture of at least 51%;
  • (b) a Joint Venture operating committee will be established as soon as possible after the establishment of the Joint Venture. Decisions of the operating committee will be made on a simple majority vote and made according to the interests each party holds in the Joint Venture, save for the entry into contracts between the manager of the Joint Venture and related parties above \$250,000, which will require a unanimous vote;
  • (c) with effect from the formation of the Joint Venture, the Company will have a 51% interest and Ardiden will have a 49% interest in the Joint Venture. The Company's interest in the Joint Venture will increase a further 29% (giving it an 80% interest) upon the payment of the Tranche 2 Consideration;

  • (d) the Company will sole fund the joint venture expenditure and will free carry the Ardiden's interest in the Joint Venture through to the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) completion of a positive bankable feasibility study; and
  • (ii) a decision to commence commercial mining operations on one or more of the Projects;
  • (e) each participant will be able to separately market their percentage of minerals from the Joint Venture; and
  • (f) each participant will have rights of first refusal in relation to each other participant's interest in the Joint Venture.

6.3 PRODUCTION PAYMENT AGREEMENT

In addition to providing the consulting, company secretary, financial controller and bookkeeping services set out in Section 5.7(c), Churchill assisted the Company in identifying the opportunity which led to the Ardiden Option Agreement, conducted initial due diligence on the Projects, assisted in negotiating the Ardiden Option Agreement and provided initial recruitment and advisory services for the Company. In consideration for these services a production payment agreement was entered into between Churchill, Lithium Resources and the Company on 3 September 2021 (Production Payment Agreement).

Pursuant the Production Payment Agreement, Lithium Resources is required to pay Churchill a 1.5% gross revenue royalty on revenue generated by the sale of product from the Company's interest in the Projects (Production Payment), with the Company acting as guarantor.

Churchill is an entity of which former Director Jeremy Robinson and current Director Cameron Henry are controlling shareholders. Jeremy Robinson ceased to be a Director on 20 July 2021.

The Production Payment Agreement is otherwise considered to be on standard terms for an agreement of this nature.

6.4 JOINT LEAD MANAGER MANDATE

The Company entered into a mandate agreement appointing Canaccord and Bell Potter (Joint Lead Managers) to act as joint lead managers and brokers in respect of the Offers on 21 June 2021 (Joint Lead Manager Mandate).

(i) If Shares are issued by the Company pro rata to Shareholders generally by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Holder of the Performance Rights is entitled, upon exercise of the Performance Rights, to receive, in addition to the Shares in respect of which the Performance Rights are exercised and without the payment of any further consideration, an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to a Shareholder who, on the date for determining entitlements under the bonus issue, held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Performance Rights are exercised.

7.3 SUMMARY OF THE COMPANY'S PERFORMANCE RIGHTS (CONTINUED)

(ii) Additional Shares to which the Holder of the Performance Rights becomes so entitled will, as from the time Shares are issued pursuant to the bonus issue and until those additional Shares are allotted, be regarded as Shares in respect of which the Performance Rights are exercised for the purposes of subsequent applications of Section 7.3(p)(i) above, and any adjustments which, after the time just mentioned, are made under Section 7.3(q) below to the number of Shares, will also be made to the additional Shares.

The Performance Rights do not entitle the Holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

(R) RIGHTS ON WINDING UP

The Performance Rights do not entitle the Holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

(S) REORGANISATION OF CAPITAL

If there is a reorganisation of the issued Share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Holder of Performance Rights will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

(T) LEAVER

Where the Holder of the Performance Rights becomes a Leaver, all unvested Performance Rights will automatically be forfeited by the Holder, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Performance Rights to vest.

(U) CHANGE OF CONTROL

  • (i) If prior to the earlier of the conversion or the Expiry Date a Change in Control Event occurs, then each Performance Right will automatically and immediately convert into a Share.

An explanation of why it is considered necessary or
appropriate to further remunerate or incentivise the

The Company considers that an investment in the
Securities to be highly speculative and believe that
it is appropriate that the Directors and Employee/
Consultant have a high proportion of their
remuneration package "at risk" to better align their
remuneration packages with an investment in the
Company. The issue of Performance Rights generally
displaces other forms of remuneration, such as a cash
salary, and accordingly assists entities preserve cash.

7.5 SUMMARY OF THE COMPANY'S EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

The Green Technology Limited Plan (Plan) was adopted by the Board on or about the date of this Prospectus. The full terms of the Plan may be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours. A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below. It is intended that both the Executive and Non-Executive Directors will participate in the Plan. As at the date of this Prospectus no Non-Executive Director currently participates in the Plan. However, Directors (either future Executive Directors or Non-Executive Directors) may participate in the Plan in the future.

  • (a) (Eligible Participant): Eligible Participant means a person that:
  • (i) is an "eligible participant" (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and
  • (ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

(b) (Maximum allocation)

  • (i) The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan where the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Plan Convertible Securities offered, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.
  • (ii) The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of the Listing Rules is 13,612,500 (ASX Limit), meaning that the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan, without seeking Shareholder Approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
  • (c) (Purpose): The purpose of the Plan is to:
  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
  • (d) (Plan administration): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
  • (e) (Eligibility, invitation and application): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

  • (f) (Grant of Securities): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
  • (g) (Terms of Convertible Securities): Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

  • (h) (Vesting of Convertible Securities): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
  • (i) (Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

7.5 SUMMARY OF THE COMPANY'S EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  • (j) (Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
  • (k) (Forfeiture of Convertible Securities): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
  • (l) (Change of control): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
  • (m) (Rights attaching to Plan Shares): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (Plan Shares) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
  • (n) (Disposal restrictions on Securities): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share or Convertible Security is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
  • (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, where a Plan Share or Convertible Security is issued in reliance on the Company satisfying the start-up company requirements in section 83A-33 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (Tax Act), a legal or a beneficial interest in the Convertible Security may not be disposed of until the earlier of:

  • (iii) the Eligible Participant to whom the Convertible Securities were offered under an invitation becoming neither an employee nor a director of the Company;
  • (iv) three (3) years after the acquisition date of the Convertible Security;
  • (v) a disposal under an arrangement which meets the requirements in section 83A-130 of the Tax Act;

  • (vi) such time as the Commissioner of Taxation allows in accordance with section 83A-45(5) of the Tax Act; and

  • (vii) the Board determines that the Commissioner of Taxation is reasonably likely to allow a disposal of the Convertible Security under section 83A-45(5) of the Tax Act.
  • (o) (Adjustment of Convertible Securities): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

  • (p) (Participation in new issues): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
  • (q) (Amendment of Plan): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

(r) (Plan duration): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

The Directors Green Technology Metals Limited Unit 6, Rokeby Road SUBIACO WA 6008

Dear Directors

Independent Limited Assurance Report ("Report") on Green Technology Metals Limited Historical and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

Introduction

We have been engaged by Green Technology Metals Limited (the "Company") to report on the historical and pro forma historical financial information of the Company for the period 12 March 2021 to 30 June 2021 for inclusion in a prospectus ("Prospectus") of the Company to be dated on or about 16 September 2021.

The Prospectus is in connection with the Company's initial public offering and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"), pursuant to which the Company is offering a minimum of 80,000,000 and a maximum of 96,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at \$0.25 each to raise a minimum of \$20,000,000 up to a maximum of \$24,000,000 before costs ("General Offer"), including an offer of up to 16,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares through a priority offer to eligible shareholders of Ardiden Limited ("Priority Offer").

Expressions and terms defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.

The future prospects of the Company, other than the preparation of Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, assuming completion of the pro forma transactions summarised in Section 4.6(b) of the Prospectus, are not addressed in this Report. This Report also does not address the rights attaching to shares to be issued pursuant to the Prospectus, or the risks associated with an investment in shares in the Company.

Background

Green Technology Metals Limited was incorporated as a private company on 12 March 2021 and converted to a public unlisted company on 1 July 2021. The Company entered into a binding option agreement with Ardiden Limited on 6 May 2021, which was amended on 27 July 2021, pursuant to which it has an exclusive option to acquire up to an 80% legal and beneficial ownership of three lithium projects located in Canada.

The Company is seeking to list on the ASX and raise capital in order to fund the cash consideration for the Projects, undertake further exploration and evaluation activities and provide working capital for the Company.

Scope

Historical Financial Information

You have requested RSM Corporate Australia Pty Ltd ("RSM") to review the historical financial information included in Section 4 of the Prospectus, and comprising:

  • the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows of the Company for the period 12 March 2021 to 30 June 2021: and
  • the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2021;

(together the "Historical Financial Information").

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards and the Company's adopted accounting policies.

The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the general purpose financial statements of the Company for the period 12 March 2021 to 30 June 2021, which were audited by RSM Australia Partners in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to audit engagements, and on which RSM Australia Partners issued an unmodified audit opinion.

The audit report issued by RSM Australia Partners with respect to the financial statements for the period 12 March 2021 to 30 June 2021, included an emphasis of matter in relation to material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the audit opinion was not modified in this regard.

The Historical Financial Information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

You have requested RSM to review the pro forma consolidated historical statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2021 ("the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information").

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the Historical Financial Information of the Company after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events and the pro forma adjustments described in Section 4.6(b) of the Prospectus. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards applied to the Historical Financial Information and the events or transactions to which the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Section 4.6(b) of the Prospectus, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the Historical Financial Information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company's actual or prospective financial position.

Directors' responsibility

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included in the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information.

A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. Our procedures included:

  • A consistency check of the application of the stated basis of preparation to the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information;
  • A review of the Company's work papers, accounting records and other documents;
  • A review of the auditor's workpapers relating to the audited financial statements of the Company;
  • Enquiry of directors, management personnel and advisors;
  • Consideration of the pro forma adjustments described in Section 4.6(b) of the Prospectus; and
  • Performance of analytical procedures applied to the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusions

Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as set out in Section 4 of the Prospectus, and comprising:

  • the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows of the Company for the period 12 March 2021 to 30 June 2021; and
  • the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2021;

is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 4 of the Prospectus.

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, as set out in Section 4.5 of the Prospectus, and comprising the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2021, is not presented fairly in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 4 of the Prospectus.

Restriction on Use

Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to the purpose of the financial information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

Responsibility

RSM has consented to the inclusion of this assurance report in the Prospectus in the form and context in which it is included. RSM has not authorised the issue of the Prospectus. Accordingly, RSM makes no representation regarding, and takes no responsibility for, any other documents or material in, or omissions from, the Prospectus.

Disclosure of Interest

RSM does not have any pecuniary interest that could reasonably be regarded as being capable of affecting its ability to give an unbiased conclusion in this matter. RSM will receive a professional fee for the preparation of this Report.

Yours faithfully

JUSTIN AUDCENT Director

E. Regulatory Regime Applicable to Mineral Exploration in Ontario

The following provides a general commentary on some of the principal provisions of the Mining Act (Onfario) (the "Mining Act"). It is an overview and should not be interpreted as an exhaustive account of all factors relevant to mining exploration and development in Ontario.

1. Mining Act

The registration of mining rights in Ontario is governed by the Mining Act. The Ontario Ministry ofNorthern Development, Mines and Forestry (the "Ministry") is responsible for the administration of the Mining Act, including its Mining Lands Administration System ("MLAS") where records and maps which indicate the location and status of mining rights are kept and made accessible online. On April 10,2018, the Ministry finalized the process of conversion to an online registration system for cell mining claims based on a latitudinal and longitudinal grid ("Mining Claims"). The focus of this overview will be on Mining Claims as these are the mineral rights relevant to modern mineral exploration in Ontario.

  1. Application Process for Mineral Claims

A person or entity holding a prospector's licence issued under the Mining Act (o'Licencee") may register a Mining Claim or multiple contiguous Mining Claims in accordance with the following procedure:

  • (a) Access MLAS and register a Mining Claim(s) electronically by identiffing the cells on the provincial grid that are to be included in the Mining Claim(s) and follow the directives established by the Ministry.
  • (b) Follow such other rules or procedures as may be prescribed by the Ministry

Mining Claims are granted by the Ministry on a first come, first served basis.

  1. Rights Associated with Mineral Claims

Once the Mining Claim(s) has been registered, a Licencee is permitted to enter onto provincial Crown and private lands that are open for exploration covered by Mining Claim(s) and conduct preliminary exploratory and assessment work on the subject lands.

Exploratory drilling that uses a drill that weighs less than 150 kilograms requires an exploration plan issued by the Ministry. Exploratory drilling that uses a drill that weighs more than 150 kilograms requires an exploration permit issued by the Ministry.

  1. Required Work

The regulations issued pursuant to the Mining Act prescribe that a Licencee is required to incur \$400.00 per Mining Claim as a unit of annual assessment work. A Licencee may make an equal payment to the Ministry in lieu of such assessment work, subject to the following limitations :

  • (a) Apayment shall not be made in place of the first annual unit of assessment work that is required to be performed on or before the second anniversary date of the Mining Claim.
  • (b) Apayment made in any given year in place of the required annual units of assessment work shall not exceed the amount of money required to be spent in performing the units of assessment work for that year.
  • (c) A payment shall not be made in place of annual units of assessment work in two consecutive years.
    1. Patented Mining Claims

The Ministry may also issue patented mining claims ("Patented Claims") to Licencees pursuant to the terms of the Mining Act. Patented Claims convey a freehold interest in the lands to which they apply and vest in the Licencee all of the provincial Crown's title to the subject lands and to all mines and minerals relating to such lands, unless something to the contrary is explicitly provided for. As Patented Claims represent a freehold interest, the provisions of the Land Titles Act (Ontario) also apply to Patented Claims.

The opinions expressed herein are provided solely for the use of the addressees, their permitted successors or assigns, and may not be used or relied upon by any other person either in connection with this or any matter or transaction without our prior written consent.

Yours very truly,

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report has been prepared by Mining Plus at the request of Green Technology Metals (GTM) in relation to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in September-2021.

This report provides detailed reviews of current mineral resources, exploration data and programs, and geophysical surveys that have been undertaken for the three project areas of Seymour Lake, Root Lake, and Wisa Lake. The report has been prepared in accordance with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM), Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) and Minerals Council of Australia, 2021 (JORC., 2012).

Mining Plus has no reason to believe that the information provided by GTM or its service providers are materially inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete. Mining Plus has not audited the information provided to it. However, it has satisfied itself as to the reasonableness of the information used.

The exploration and development of lithium projects in Ontario commenced in the 1950s. A recent revival of interest in lithium has been driven by the threat of global warming from the burning of fossil fuels, combined with the recognition that a transition to electric and hybrid vehicles, which are powered by lithium batteries, could substantially reduce any nation's carbon footprint and its reliance on oil and other fossil fuels.

The Seymour Lake lithium project is located near the small township of Armstrong, approximately 230km north of the major regional township of Thunder Bay at the northern tip of Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada.

The Root Lake project is located in north western Ontario, approximately 300 km northwest of Thunder Bay, and 100 km north of the town of Sioux Lookout.

Wisa Lake project is located approximately 65 km southwest of Atikokan in the district of Rainy River and lies approximately 8 km north of the Minnesota/US border.

Regional exploration for lithium deposits commenced in the 1950's. In 1957, local prospector, Mr Nelson Aubry, discovered the North Aubry and the South Aubry pegmatites at Seymour Lake. Geological mapping by the Ontario Department of Mines commenced in 1959 and was completed in 1962 (Pye, 1968), with the publication of "Map 2100 Crescent Lake Area" in 1965.

From the late 1950's to 2002, exploration by the Ontario Department of Mines was generally restricted to geological mapping and surface sampling, although some minor drilling was completed to test the North Aubry pegmatite in late 1957 (Rees, 2011)

The Root Lake Project includes the McCombe and Morrison pegmatites, along with the Root Bay sampled pegmatite exposure. Both prospects consist of spodumene-bearing pegmatite(s) discovered in the 1950s, and tested by diamond drilling or grab sampling, and the exposure was sampled by Ardiden in 2016.

The Wisa Lake Project contains several spodumene-bearing pegmatites which were discovered in the mid-1950s. In 1956, Lexindin Gold Mines Ltd. (Lexindin) completed a total of 20 drill holes (backpack and AQ-sized core) over a strike length of 335m and to a depth of approximately 65m to define the Wisa Lake lithium deposit. The most easterly hole intersected a true width of 6.4m containing an estimated 20% of the lithium-bearing mineral spodumene suggesting the mineralisation is open at depth and to the east.

The current MRE for the Seymour Lake Project area was undertaken by Ardiden in February 2019. Ardiden commissioned an independent consultant, Mr Phil Jones (MAusIMM [#105653] / MAIG [#1903]) to produce the MRE as a competent person as defined by the JORC Code (JORC., 2012).

Future estimations should be undertaken with the inclusion of extra potentially economic minerals, deleterious elements, and a full waste model for future mine planning.

Metallurgical test work was carried out by Independent Metallurgical Operations Ltd (IMO) in 2017 to test for initial spodumene concentrate production, and laboratory test work to produce Li2CO3 by RUIFU Lithium (RUIFU) in 2018. Both studies indicated favourable results with the production of saleable lithium concentrates.

Future resources and any reserves calculated will require more detailed mining parameters (along with deleterious elements and waste model) for more fully understand potential minable portions of the Aubry pegmatites but currently there is potential upside for the Aubry pegmatite to be minable below the current drilling levels based on RPEEE studies carried out to date.

Root Lake extensions to known pegmatites have already been identified but infill drilling using industry standard methods and assaying methods are required to increase the confidence of these known resources and to test targets.

The Wisa Lake Project area has a number of mapped pegmatites that have been discovered over the +50 year period from the initial project by Lexindin Gold Mines in the 1950s. The Wisa Lake Project currently consists of a well-distributed range of surface grab sampling along with indicative grades of the known pegmatites

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

The Lithium projects of Seymour Lake, Root Lake and Wisa Lake are located west and southwest of Ontario, Canada. The Seymour Lake lithium project is located near the small township of Armstrong, approximately 230km north of the major regional township of Thunder Bay at the northern tip of Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada. Root Lake and Wisa Lake are west and southern west of Seymour Lake respectively.

Figure 1 Seymour Lake, Root Lake and Wisa Lake Project location map, Ontario, Canada.

The Seymour Lake Lithium Project is north of Lake Nipigon in the Thunder Bay district of Northwest Ontario, about 60 km east of the small town of Armstrong Station which is about 230km north of the major regional township of Thunder Bay. Thunder Bay is located on the northern shore of Lake Superior.

Root Lake is located 300 km northwest of Thunder Bay, 150 km east of Red Lake and 130 km north of Sioux Lookout.

Wisa Lake is located approximately 80km east of Fort Frances and is only 8km north of the Minnesota/USA border.

3.1 Accessibility, climate, Local Resources and Infrastructure

The Thunder Bay region and Northwest Ontario in general, have a long mining history, with mining suppliers and contractors regionally available. Planning and development of further mining and processing of lithium projects by other companies (including Avalon Advanced Materials, and Rock Teck Lithium) shows the importance Ontario places on developing mining projects and infrastructure for the future.

3.1.1 Seymour Lake

The town of Armstrong and the Whitesand First Nation have a combined population of less than 1,000 residents. Services available at Armstrong include a general store, fuel, nursing station, post office and temporary accommodation. The closest airport with daily service to Toronto and Winnipeg is at Thunder Bay and an excellent two-lane bitumen road connects Armstrong to Thunder Bay to the south.

A well maintained two-lane gravel road from Armstrong to the project area is generally accessible all year round although heavy snow falls in winter may block the road until cleared by a snowplough. Maintenance is carried out by the local Whitesand First Nation and jointly funded by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Canadian National Railway, Ardiden and Landore Resources Ltd. Notably, The Trans-Canada Railway passes through the southern-most part of the Seymour Lake Project (Ferland Rail Station).

Currently, the closest available electricity is about 60km from Armstrong. However, Ontario Power Generation has released updated plans for the development of an 85 MW hydroelectric project on the Jackfish River, about 8km from the North Aubry Zone. This was originally scheduled for completion in 2013/ 2014. If this hydroelectric project proceeds, relatively low-cost electricity should become available to the project.

Current tenement holdings at Seymour Lake provide enough suitable area to support mining operations, including processing plant and waste disposal sites, for the reported resources.

3.1.2 Root Lake

The Root Lake Project is accessible via local logging roads north of Sioux Lookout and is located approximately 300km northwest of Thunder Bay, a leading mining jurisdiction in Ontario with key local infrastructure including a skilled mining workforce and excellent local logistics and infrastructure.

However, currently, there is little infrastructure located near the property. The closest community to the Root Lake project is Slate Falls, with a population of 186 people (Statistics

Canada, www.statcan.gc.ca). The community of Slate Falls has some of the supplies and services needed for an exploration program (limited accommodation, water, gas, food and helpers). Sioux Lookout is several hours away (approximately 100 km) from the property and has most of the supplies needed (Magyarosi, 2016).

3.1.3 Wisa Lake

The Wisa Lake Project is located 80km east of Fort Frances, in Ontario, Canada and only 8km north of the Minnesota/US border. The property is connected to Highway 11 (Trans-Canada), which is located 65km north via an all-weather road that crosses the centre of the project. The project is less than 3 hours' drive from Thunder Bay, a leading regional mining jurisdiction in Ontario with key local infrastructure including a skilled mining workforce and excellent local logistics and infrastructure.

3.2 Tenure, First Nations and Agreements

GTM reached an agreement with ADV to purchase 80% of the lithium tenement for \$9.2M. This agreement was accelerated around July 2021 to be completed within 18 months with shareholder approval and the IPO being undertaken by GTM.

The altered conditions are comprised of the following;

  • \$200,000 option fee (already paid)
  • \$1,500,000 cash consideration payment at receipt of ADV shareholder approval

Tenements included are outlined below;

3.2.1 Seymour Lake

The Seymour Lake Projects consists of 256 cell claims in good standing. A total of seven of the 265 are approaching the due date (02-08-2021 and 23-08-2021). The claims cover the 2018 JORC 2012 mineral resource estimate of the Aubry pegmatites containing 4.8 Mt @ 1.25% Li2O plus 186 ppm Ta2O6.

3.2.2 Root Lake

The Root Lake Project consists of 101 cell claims, 33 Patent claims, and 3 MLO's in good standing. A total of 50 reach the due date before the end of the calendar year

3.2.3 Wisa Lake

The Wisa Lake Project consists of five claims (1,200 hectares), 88 cell claims, and covers the historical Wisa Lake lithium deposit, which has a historical (non-JORC compliant) lithium resource of 330,000 tonnes grading 1.15% Li2O (Lexindin Gold Mines Ltd., Manager's Report, 1958; Ontario Geological Survey, Open-File Report 6285, Report of Activities 2012). Currently, all cells with the exception of 12 have reached their due date and require actioning but have been granted an extension due to the current COVID-19 situation.

3.3 First Nation agreements (Gneil, et al., 2021)

Mining Plus undertook a preliminary examination of the FN agreements during a due diligence in May 2021. The results of the review are summarised below;

It is possible that there are difficulties with FN agreements (or that these have not been a focus for ADV) because despite more than four years elapsing since ADV acquired the projects:

  • Seymour Lake is the most advanced but there is only an agreement for early exploration.
  • There is no FN agreement for Root Lake in place despite discussions having taken place.
  • There is no FN agreement for Wisa Lake and ADV had to request a dispensation from the Mines Dept because they could not get on the ground to explore.

In Mining Plus' opinion, it is reasonable to expect that after four to five years FN agreements would be in place.

4 HISTORY

4.1 Overview (Bradley, et al., 2017)

Lithium (from the Greek lithos, for stone) is the first metal in the periodic table. It was recognized as an element in 1817 when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfvedson analysed the mineral petalite. Useful amounts of lithium metal were first isolated in 1855 by August Matthiessen and, independently, by Robert Bunsen, after whom the Bunsen burner was named (Emsley, 2011). By this time, lithium had been found in other silicate minerals (lepidolite and spodumene) and had been detected in trace quantities in plants, seawater, spa waters, and the human body (Emsley, 2011). In 1869, Dimitri Mendeleev correctly positioned it adjacent to the alkali metal sodium in his then-revolutionary periodic table of elements.

Petalite, lepidolite, and spodumene are found in granitic pegmatites. The first significant lithium mining began in 1898 at the Etta pegmatite in South Dakota. In the early 1900s, other pegmatite mines in California, South Dakota, and New Mexico also began lithium production, and the United States dominated the global supply (Norton, 1973). The process of extracting lithium from brine was also first developed in the United States. The earliest production of lithium from brine took place in 1938 as a by-product of sodium carbonate production at Searles Lake, California. A larger lithium-brine deposit at Clayton Valley, Nevada, began production in 1966. Today, brine resources dominate the lithium industry.

In the 1970s, when the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published Professional Paper 820, "United States Mineral Resources" (Brobst and Pratt, 1973), lithium was a relatively obscure mineral commodity that did not even warrant an entire chapter of its own (Norton, 1973). Since then, the global resource picture for lithium has changed considerably. In 1973, the United States was still the world's leading lithium producer; today, U.S. production lags far behind that of Chile, Australia, and several other nations. Additionally, two new classes of ore deposits—lithium clays and lithium zeolites—have been recognised. Between 1975 and 2005, world lithium production increased by a factor of about five (fig. K1), and more growth is anticipated.

Figure 2: Lithium producers by year (Jamasime, 2018)

Many advances in understanding lithium geology were spurred by the 1973 US oil embargo. Lithium was—and still is—seen as a strategic mineral commodity that could contribute toward energy independence. At that time, the USGS launched a major research effort on lithium resources that lasted for several years and involved dozens of researchers. Initial results were presented in a multichapter USGS Professional Paper (Vine, 1976), and final results were summarized by Vine (1980). After about 1980, national concerns about energy self-sufficiency ebbed, and studies in lithium-resource geology fell into neglect for more than a quarter-century.

A recent revival of interest in lithium has been driven by the threat of global warming from the burning of fossil fuels, combined with the recognition that a transition to electric and hybrid vehicles, which are powered by lithium batteries, could substantially reduce any nation's carbon footprint and its reliance on oil and other fossil fuels.

4.2 Seymour Lake (Jones, 2019)

Regional exploration for lithium deposits commenced in the 1950's. In 1957, local prospector, Mr Nelson Aubry, discovered the North Aubry and the South Aubry pegmatites.

Geological mapping by the Ontario Department of Mines commenced in 1959 and was completed in 1962 (Pye, 1968), with the publication of "Map 2100 Crescent Lake Area" in 1965.

From the late 1950's to 2002, exploration by the Ontario Department of Mines was generally restricted to geological mapping and surface sampling, although some minor drilling was completed to test the North Aubry pegmatite in late 1957 (Rees, 2011).

In 2001, Linear Resources Inc. ("Linear Resources") obtained the Seymour Lake Project with an initial focus on the project's tantalum potential. In 2002, a 23-diamond drill-hole campaign was completed at North Aubry, and a further 8 diamond drill-holes at South Aubry.

The Linear Resources results stimulated a significant amount of academic investigation of the North and South Aubry pegmatites culminating in the publication of several academic papers e.g. Breaks et al. (2003); Dimmell and Morgan (2005); and Breaks et al. (2006). These investigations provided information on the nature of the pegmatites including highlighting their potential as significant sources of lithium mineralisation.

In 2008, Linear Resources completed a regional soil-sampling program which resulted in the identification of a number soil geochemical anomalies. Based on these anomalies, another drilling campaign (completed in 2009), with 12 diamond drill-holes at North Aubry, 2 diamond drill-holes at South Aubry, and further 5 diamond drill-holes peripheral to the Aubry prospects designed to test the main 2008 soil geochemical anomalies.

The Linear Resources 2002 and 2009 drilling campaigns confirmed the presence of welldeveloped lithium mineralisation and clarified the scale and orientation of the mineralisation. However, Linear Resources did not carry out further drilling, possibly due to the low market l prices of spodumene at the time.

Little work was undertaken between 2010 and 2016 until Ardiden acquired the project from Linear Resources in 2016. Further drilling was carried out by Ardiden between 2017 and 2018 resulting in the completion of an updated mineral resource estimate of the Aubry pegmatites in 2018. Geophysical survey including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) was also undertaken by Ardiden in 2018 to test any further exploration potential beyond the current Aubry pegmatite.

4.3 Root Lake

The Root Lake Project includes the McCombe and Morrison pegmatites, along with the Root Bay sampled pegmatite exposure. Both prospects consist of spodumene-bearing pegmatite(s) discovered in the 1950s, and tested by diamond drilling or grab sampling, and the exposure was sampled by Ardiden in 2016.

The McCombe prospect was explored by Capital Lithium Mines Ltd in the mid to late 1950's and consists of at least five pegmatites, four of which outcrop. The outcrops are discontinuous with widespread glacial till and covering bedrock in most places, but the main pegmatite extends about 500m along-strike in an approximately east-west direction. Two pegmatites

with only minor outcrop emanate from the main pegmatite and have a strike towards the northeast.

Surface observations suggest the main pegmatite dips steeply towards the south. This has been confirmed by drilling. Moreover, drilling also revealed that around 50m down-dip, the main pegmatite, along with an associated sub-parallel pegmatite that does not outcrop, begins to dip much less steeply. Around 100m below the surface, the main pegmatite and the associated sub-parallel pegmatite are flat (Figure 3), favourable for possible optimisation studies. The northeast-trending pegmatites dip moderately steeply towards the southeast.

Figure 3: McCombe pegmatite section 590838 mE showing change in dip.

Lithium pegmatites at the McCombe prospect are LCT-Complex spodumene pegmatites and contain extensive zones of spodumene-bearing rock. They have thicknesses typically ranging from 1m to 15m, with a mean thickness of about 8m. The pegmatites are open down-dip and along-strike in an easterly direction.

The Morrison prospect pegmatite was explored by Consolidated Morrison Explorations Ltd in the mid to late 1950's. The pegmatite strikes east-west and dips about 30o towards the south. Outcrop of the pegmatite is about 200m long and tested by trenching, but drilling has also proved the length of the pegmatite to be at least 1200m. The pegmatite is open along-strike to the east and down-dip.

The Morrison pegmatite differs from McCombe in that it appears to be less complex, containing a more restricted range of mineral species and seems to be less-well zoned. Also, the spodumene within the Morrison pegmatite occurs as larger crystals than the spodumene within the McCombe pegmatites. Although the Morrison pegmatite ranges in thickness from

about 1m to 15m, like the McCombe pegmatites, it is more variable in thickness, appearing to pinch-and-swell along-strike and down-dip.

An historical resource, pre-dating and not compliant with NI43-101 (or the JORC Code (2012)), was defined for the McCombe prospect by Capital Lithium Mines Ltd. Bridger (1956) reported an historical ore estimate. This historical resource has been considered an indication of this prospect's potential and a conceptual target.

Figure 4: Root Lake summary (Daxter, 2016).

4.4 Wisa Lake

The Wisa Lake Project contains several spodumene-bearing pegmatites which were discovered in the mid 1950s. In 1956, Lexindin Gold Mines Ltd. (Lexindin) completed a total of 20 drill holes (backpack and AQ-sized core) over a strike length of 335m and to a depth of approximately 65m to define the Wisa Lake lithium deposit. The most easterly hole intersected a true width of 6.4m containing an estimated 20% of the lithium-bearing mineral spodumene (not assayed) but suggesting the mineralisation is open at depth and to the east.

It should be noted that the historical resource estimate for the deposit was calculated prior to CIM National Instrument 43-101 or JORC (2012) guidelines and, as such, should only be considered from a historical point of view and not relied upon. A qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current Mineral Resources. Further exploration and drill testing programs are required to report in accordance with JORC (2012) guidelines.

Dan Patrie Exploration limited obtained 1 claim in the Wisa Lake area (G-0566). A total field magnetometer survey was undertaken along GPS and compass lines at 50-metre spacings in 2010. This was followed up in 2013 by a one-day prospecting and sample collection program. 8 samples were collected from rock outcrops correlating to magnetic highs. All samples were dominantly gneiss country rock with 3 containing small pegmatite-type veinlets. Further work was recommended but not carried out.

In early 2016, Alset Energy Corporation (Formally Benton Capital) staked the project and completed a limited exploration, mapping and sampling program at the two mineralisation zones at the Wisa Lake project. The 56 grab samples collected from the North Zone pegmatite returned grades of up to 1.4% Li20, which are comparable to the grade of the non-JORC compliant historical resource. Grab samples were collected in the South Zone pegmatite, located 900m south and parallel to the North Zone pegmatite, which returned grades of up to a very impressive 6.38% Li2O.

Both the North and South Zone pegmatites were drilled in the 1950s, but very little work has been completed since then. Alset Energy Corporation has collected and submitted approximately 60 grab samples for assay from various pegmatites occurring on the property.

Figure 5: Historical exploration of Wisa Lake Project as reported by previous owner Alset Energy in April 2016

North Zone Pegmatite

The North Zone pegmatite which was traced through surface exposures by Alset personnel for nearly 1.5km of strike length, which contains the non-JORC compliant (and non-NI43-101) historical resource and was defined by historical drilling over a strike length of 335m. The historical drill logs show that the deposit is open to the east and at depth and future drilling could substantially expand the historical resource.

South Zone Pegmatite

The South Zone pegmatite was also drilled in the 1950s, but not to the extent of the North Zone. This area of interest appears to have the highest spodumene content discovered on the property, with 6.38% Li2O reported from a grab sample.

New Pegmatite Dykes

Additionally, Alset Energy Corporation discovered further spodumene-bearing dykes during their April 2016 exploration program. One dyke was located 100m south of the South Zone pegmatite and a further pegmatite exposure was mapped approximately 3kms to the West of the historic deposit in the North Zone pegmatite (refer Figure 5 above).

5 SEYMOUR LAKE

5.1 GEOLOGY

5.1.1 Regional geology (Jones, 2019)

The general geological setting of the Seymour Lake project consists of the Precambrian Canadian Shield that underlies approximately 60% of Ontario. The Shield can be divided into three major geological and physiographic regions, from the oldest in the northwest to the youngest in the southeast.

The north western region, known as the Superior Province, is more than 2.5 billion years old. This region lying north and west of the present city of Sudbury and includes the Seymour Lake Project and is composed mainly of felsic intrusive rocks forming the rocky Severn and Abitibi uplands (Bostock, 1970). The central region, known as the Grenville Province, is 1.0 to 1.6 billion years old. This region lies to the south of Sudbury, and is dominated by metasedimentary rocks that form the Laurentian Highlands. The Penokean Hills, a fold belt, and the Cobalt Plain, an embayment, constitute the Southern Province which is a narrow region approximately 1.8 to 2.4 billion years old extending approximately from Sault Ste. Marie in the west to Kirkland Lake in the east.

To the north of the Shield, in the area generally referred to as the Hudson Bay lowlands, the bedrock is composed of carbonate-rich sedimentary formations. These formations date primarily from the Silurian period, but there are significant areas from the Ordovician and Devonian as well. Other sedimentary rocks occur near the city of Ottawa, in an area referred to as the Ottawa embayment, as well as throughout areas north of Lakes Erie and Ontario (Dyke et al. 1989). The clastic and marine carbonate bedrock of southern Ontario is interrupted by the Frontenac Axis, a southern extension of the Shield, which intersects the St. Lawrence Seaway east of Kingston. The Frontenac Axis has different forest cover and land use patterns than areas to either the west or east, owing to its uneven terrain and shallow, acidic soils, both characteristic of the Canadian Shield.

This current topography of flat plains to low rolling uplands, having 60 m to 90 m of relative relief, is a result of extensive pre-Quaternary erosion which is estimated at more than 6,000 m since the last mountain-building episode (Card et al. 1972); and from Quaternary glaciations that both eroded and filled the pre-Quaternary surface. The significant relief present elsewhere in eastern North America is absent from Ontario.

During the Phanerozoic, sedimentary rocks developed in marine basins along the northern border ofthe Shield forming the Hudson Bay lowlands and the Great Lakes Basins in the south.

5.1.2 Local geology (Jones, 2019)

The Seymour Lake Lithium Project is located within the eastern part of the Wabigoon Subprovince, near the boundary with the English River Subprovince to the north. These subprovinces are part of the Superior Craton, comprised mainly of Archaean rocks but also containing some Mesoproterozoic rocks such as the Nipigon Diabase.

The Wabigoon Subprovince is comprised of a supracrustal sequence of volcanic rocks (predominantly mafic) with lesser amounts of sedimentary rocks of Archaean age which have been folded, intruded by a range of igneous rocks, metamorphosed and subsequently intruded by younger igneous rocks. The main phase of deformation and metamorphism is due to the Kenoran Orogeny and probably occurred between about 2717 – 2695Ma (Percival, 2007).

The Superior Craton was affected by the Keweenaw Rift, which resulted from crustal extension that occurred at about 1100 Ma and culminated in the production of a large volume of mafic rocks that intruded the rift. The present-day expression of the rift is the depression occupied by the great lakes and the most prominent rocks related to the rifting are abundant mafic intrusive rocks which are referred to as the Nipigon Diabase.

5.1.2.1 Bedrock Geology

The bedrock is best exposed along the flanks of steep-sided valleys scoured by glaciers during the recent ice ages. The exposed bedrock is commonly metamorphosed basaltic rock, of which some varieties have well-preserved pillows that have been intensely flattened in areas of high tectonic strain. Intercalated between layers of basalt are lesser amounts of schists derived from sedimentary rocks and lesser rocks having felsic volcanic protoliths. These rocks are typical of the Wabigoon Subprovince, host to most of the pegmatites in the region.

Pegmatites are reasonably common in the region intruding the enclosing host rocks after metamorphism, evident from the manner in which the pegmatites cut across the well developed foliation within the metamorphosed host rocks. This post-dating relationship is supported by radiometric dating; an age of 2666 + 6 Ma is given for the timing of intrusion of the pegmatites (Breaks, et al., 2006).

Figure 6: Seymour Lake tenement geology (Pye, 1968) . Seymour Lake tenements - blue; Aubry zone - red.

5.1.2.2 Surface Geology

Within the Seymour Lake Lithium Project there is an abundance of glacial deposits comprising shallow gravelly soils, boulder till and in places thick moraines obscuring the bedrock. In lowlying areas the bedrock is also obscured by lakes and swamps.

5.1.3 Geological interpretation

5.1.3.1 Lithology

The main pegmatites studied to date within the Seymour Lake Project tenements, including the pegmatites included in the resource estimate that is the subject of this report, are within the Aubry Zone in the northwest of the tenement package (Figure 6).

The pegmatites intrude a layered succession dominated by mafic volcanic rocks, mainly metamorphosed pillow basalt (Figure 6). . These basalts form the prominent ridge in which the North Aubry pegmatite outcrops with well-preserved and very distinctive pillows.

There are several locations where the cusps between pillows are sufficiently undeformed to enable the facing direction of the layered succession to be inferred towards the northwest. Within the metamorphosed pillow basalt there are lenses of metamorphic rock that represent

inter-flow sediments and some lenses of metamorphosed dolerite that may be mafic sills related to the basalt.

West of the main body of pillow basalt there is a laminated to schistose quartz-amphibole (+ biotite, garnet) rock which may be an ortho-amphibolite, para-amphibolite or a metamorphosed tuff. This rock occurs as a layer about 100m-200m thick and overlies the pillow basalt. The amphibolite is overlain by a layer of schistose quartz-biotite rock of undetermined thickness.

The quartz-amphibole (+ biotite, garnet) rock and quartz-biotite rock have a well-developed foliation, present as a close-spaced cleavage or schistosity or both. In contrast, the pillow basalt is mostly quite massive but does contain discrete linear zones where pillows have been notably flattened and elongated, sometimes with evidence of shearing. However, the pillow basalt appears to be the most competent rock in the region.

Mapping shows that the pillow basalts strike northeast-southwest while the North Aubry pegmatite strikes almost normal to this orientation. It is likely that the preferred emplacement of the North Aubry pegmatite in the pillow basalts and less within the amphibolite or schist is related to the competency of the pillow basalt.

The South Aubry pegmatite, like the North Aubry pegmatite, is also contained within pillow basalts with a northwest-trending strike and a shallow to moderate dip towards the northeast. However, it differs from the North Aubry pegmatite containing a lot more muscovite and generally much less spodumene. Some of the spodumene at South Aubry has been altered and exhibits secondary muscovite and pink haematitic staining.

Trenching has exposed spodumene-bearing pegmatite immediately north of the South Aubry pegmatite and Ardiden refers to the area as the Central Aubry prospect. However, the drilling results confirm that the Central Aubry pegmatites are in close proximity to the South Aubry pegmatite. They may be connected at some point. For the purpose of estimating a Mineral Resource, the Central Aubry pegmatites can be considered as part of the South Aubry lithium deposit.

Within the Aubry zone, there are numerous shears and faults and most of those seen have an approximate northeast-southwest trend, similar to the country rock. Where fabrics that allow the shear-sense to be inferred are present, they consistently indicate pure shear (flattening) or sinistral simple shear, consistent with formation during orogeny while σ1 was directed about northwest-southeast.

These shear zones are sub-vertical and some have been intruded by narrow pegmatites, e.g. the "I" pegmatite (Figure 7).

Figure 7: Interpreted geology for the Aubry zone.

The North Aubry pegmatite is intermittently exposed in a north-south direction for about 250 m and the maximum width exposed is about 75 m. Although the trend of outcrops is about

north-south, the actual strike of the pegmatite is toward the northwest with a gentle to moderate dip towards the northeast. Drilling has confirmed that the pegmatite extends down-dip under cover and the actual strike length may be about 300m although it extends at least 450m down-dip. The true thickness of the main North Aubry pegmatite exceeds 25 m in parts but the evidence from drilling is that the modal true thickness is probably about 10 m – 15 m.

5.1.3.2 Mineralisation

The most obvious feature of the North Aubry pegmatite outcrops is the presence of spodumene in all exposures. Breaks, Selway and Tindle (2003) mention that 90% of the pegmatite is spodumene bearing, within which 30% - 40% of the rock is spodumene. A total of 10 zones have been recognised in the pegmatite leading to the classification of the North Aubry pegmatite as an LCT Complex spodumene subtype pegmatite (Breaks, Selway and Tindle, 2006). [Note LCT for Lithium, Caesium, and Tantalum enrichment derived mainly from S-granites (sedimentary sources), less commonly from I-granites (igneous source)]

Mapping and core logging by Spitalny (Spitalny, 2018a) has shown that:

  • The zonation is less complicated than most LCT Complex spodumene subtype pegmatites.
  • The number of lithium mineral species contained in the pegmatite is very restricted. Spodumene is almost the only lithium mineral present with only very minor amounts of lithium micas (lepidolite and zinnwaldite) in very restricted locations.
  • The spodumene-bearing zone forms the majority of the pegmatite. In most LCT Complex spodumene subtype pegmatites, the spodumene-bearing zones comprise 50% or less of the pegmatite.

Spitalny devised a drill-core logging system that enabled repeatable, reliable logging of the pegmatite zones (Figure 11). This system is based upon features readily observable in drillcore with the following codes representing distinct units:

  • FIGPin; reserved for thin barren pegmatites peripheral to the North Aubry pegmatite
  • FIGPap; zone comprised of massive aplite or alternating aplitic bands
  • FIGPgr; zone comprised of about equal amounts of feldspar, mica and quartz and having a "granitic" texture
  • FIGPkf; zone comprised by more than 25% microcline
  • FIGPmu; zone comprised by more than 25% muscovite
  • FIGPqz; zone comprised by more than 75% quartz
  • FIGPsp; zone in which spodumene is present

Note that as a guide, logged intervals are at least 0.50m (exceptions may occur), meaning some narrow zones, e.g. the very narrow (a few centimetres) border zone, which is often FIGPgr, is often not logged as a separate entity but included as part of a larger zone.

The volumetrically most important zone in the North Aubry pegmatite is the spodumenebearing zone, i.e. FIGPsp, both in terms of economic importance and representation of the pegmatite composition.

The majority of the spodumene occurs as randomly oriented giant crystals in a matrix comprised of giant microcline crystals (Figure 8). The microcline zone is shown in Figure 9. Spodumene crystals for scale are shown in Figure 10.

Figure 8: Spodumene crystals in microcline matrix (FIGPsp). Note the hand-held GPS device for scale in the upper left quadrant of the image.

Figure 9: Microcline zone (FIGPkf).

Figure 10: Abundant white spodumene in the core-zone.

The zones of the North Aubry pegmatite are present as distinct layers rather than concentric zones, with an asymmetrical and discontinuous distribution (Figure 11). It is important to note that the interior spodumene-bearing zones sometimes extend outwards from the interior and are present in contact with the host rocks.

Figure 11: Schematic cross-section of the main North Aubry Pegmatite. (from Spitalny 2018a)

5.1.3.3 Weathering

While very little of the Ontario region has any remaining weathered cover, there is an abundance of glacial deposits comprising shallow gravelly soils, boulder till and in places thick moraines obscuring the bedrock. In low-lying areas, the bedrock is also obscured by lakes and swamps.

The Seymour Lake geology where outcrops occur is generally fresh from surface.

5.1.3.4 Depletion for Mining

Currently no mining activities have taken place in the Seymour Lake Project.

5.2 Sample Preparation, Analysis, and security

The diamond core was split in half using a diamond saw by a trained technician along its long axis over intervals determined by the geologist logging the core. The default sample interval is 1 m between significant lithological boundaries. The default sample interval may be adjusted, usually shorter, to match lithological boundaries. The hangingwall and footwall country rock, which is a much darker colour than the pegmatite and easily distinguished from the pegmatite, was also routinely sampled for 1-5 m either side of the pegmatite.

The split core for each sample interval was bagged in uniquely numbered calico bags which were bundled together in larger sealed polyweave bags. Field duplicates, standards and blanks were also added to the batches in the field. These bags were stored on-site until sufficient samples have accumulated when they were transported directly to the AGAT lab in Thunder Bay by the supervising geologist.

All drill intersections are oblique to the mineralisation so that the recorded sample intervals in the mineralisation have apparent widths slightly greater than the true width of the mineralisation. The sample orientation and spacing is compensated for by the software used to model the resources.

For the Ardiden drilling the core was oriented down the hole using a Reflex orientation tool. Downhole surveying of the drilling by Linear Resources is unknown.

All the core is routinely logged on-site by the site geologist for core recovery, core breaks, lithologies and tectonic structures.

Since the pegmatite and country rock is highly competent with little shearing, core recoveries are consistently 100% with occasional intervals with minor core loss and with extremely rare intervals <95% recovery. Any core loss is most often due to fracture zones or where coarse muscovite flakes are oriented orthogonally to the core.

5.3 Data Verifications and Input Data

5.3.1 Data Sources

Data was compiled from a variety of sources in 2019 by Geobase Australia Ltd (Lloyd, 2019). The then owner of the tenements Ardiden commissioned Geobase to compile and validate data from a bulk data handover consisting of 9083 files and 529 folders of information. The summary breakdown of data for drilling, trenching, and surface sampling is shown below;

  • 10 Access databases
  • 731 PDF files

  • 650 Excel files
  • 90 CSV files
  • 74 Word documents
  • 1855 JPG files
  • 77 PNG files
  • 380 DAT files
  • 48 DXF files
  • 11 STR files
  • 268 SHP files
  • 87 TAB files
  • 91 MAP files
  • 258 XML files

Data was then imported into a Azeva.XDB database system for full validation. Validations completed included;

  • Missing coordinates, height (rl) and depth (depth) in the collar file.
  • Large deviations in both dip and azimuth in the survey file.
  • Missing intervals in the down hole interval file.
  • Overlapping intervals in the down hole interval file.
  • Records in the interval file that exceeds the total depth in the collar file.
  • Missing holes in either the collar file or down hole interval file.
  • Missing intervals inserted and classified accordingly to knowledge base.

Validations on assay and interval data included;

  • Removal of duplicate sample/dataset combinations.
  • Removal of multiple versions of same lab job.
  • Rationalizing element codes.
  • Standardizing "Element" conventions.
  • Correction of mis‐assigned Repeat and Preferred flagging.
  • Correction of assay units (% results flagged as ppm detections).
  • Removal of "0" values.
  • Correction of typographic errors.
  • Rationalisation of batch names.
  • Rationalisation of lab names.
  • Visual checks.

Where the original assay batch was available, Geobase imported data from the original source. In addition, the following general rules are followed when the original data was unavailable or dubious:

• Where no date has been supplied, but the year of the drilling is known, the first of January of that year is used, for example, 01/01/2017.

  • Where no date has been supplied, and the year of drilling is unknown, 01/01/1900 is used.
  • Where no geologist, sampler or logger is supplied, this is noted as "Unknown".
  • Where no coordinates have been supplied, these are recorded as Easting = 0, Northing = 0, RL = 0.
  • Where no downhole survey data has been supplied, a 0 m vertical survey is entered and default set to Dip = ‐90 and Azimuth = 0.

A number of outstanding issues were reported by Geobase in the Database validation report. These included;

  • Standardizing of Geological coding system.
  • Assignment of leases to all collar points.
  • Update prospect codes.
  • Loading of data entry being undertaken by the company.
  • Checks and updates of RLs, pending supply of DEM data.
  • Checks and updates of Standard information.
  • Finalize logging template and standard coding sheets.
  • Checks by personnel familiar with project datasets for missing data.

Validations carried out by Mining Plus on the supplied database showed only two very minor errors were detected. Green Technology has planned that for any future work, these recommendations by Geobase are followed to ensure a fully validated and complete database.

5.3.2 Grid Co-ordinate System

Drillhole collars coordinates are recorded as being surveyed in North American Datum 1983 zone 16 grid coordinates (NAD83_z16).

5.3.3 Drilling Data

A total of 185 diamond holes, on a nominal 20m x 20m grid, have been drilled and used in the resource modelling at North Aubry and South Aubry. A total of 130 holes were drilled by Ardiden, with the previous owners Linear drilling 44 holes (Figure 12).

The 2018 Ardiden drilling was completed by Rugged Aviation Inc. using BTW coring equipment producing 4.20 cm diameter core.

The earlier drill holes were either vertical or inclined towards the west. Once the pegmatite was determined to be dipping towards the north-east, the later drill holes were inclined towards the south-west (Figure 12).

Figure 12: Drill hole location plan – North Aubry. Pink = outcrop, Yellow = main Pegmatite 1, green = Pegmatite 2

5.3.4 Topography

Topography was supplied in the form of a LiDAR DTM in 2018 with a resolution reported at 50cm. Generally, all supplied drilling data is within acceptable limits of the DTM with only 2 drillholes outside 1 metre in variation. Two exceptions to this are the diamond drillholes SL-17-54 and -55 that appear to have an RL set to a nominal value of 300 mRL resulting in a difference to the DTM of over 80 metres.

5.3.5 Data Exclusions

No data based on the current database is immediately obvious to be flagged for exclusion based on the available drilling dataset. The exception to this would be the drillholes with the nominal RL of 300, which would require either a source data re-import, a re-survey, or migration to the topographic DTM prior to use.

5.3.6 Wireframes

Supplied wireframes are currently limited to the Aubry pegmatite units. Analysis by Mining Plus indicated that with only minor exceptions, the wireframes were accurately snapped to the drillhole data, and only minor triangulation issues associated with unrealistic kinks may lead to small localised inaccurate tonnages.

It is recommended that minor inclusions of logged mafic material are excluded in any future resource estimates where mine planning is undertaken.

5.4 Quality Assurance and Quality Control

5.4.1 Assay Certificates

Assay certificates are available for drilling carried out by Ardiden. Original sample IDs from 389601 to 389650, E5563560 to E5564324 have been provided in .xls and .pdf files from AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

Mining Plus has crossed referenced a selection of Sample IDs against the provided data. No discrepancies have been encountered. Missing originals from E5564325 to E5564559 could not be validated at this stage.

Assay certificates from XRAL Laboratories are also available for the 2002 Linear Resources diamond drilling (Dimmell, 2003) program with no import or transcription errors found.

5.4.2 Certified reference material

Standards were submitted in two separate programs of diamond drilling carried out by Ardiden in 2016 and 2018. Previous documentation by Phil Jones referred to drilling as Pre-Ardiden and Ardiden drilling programs.

Previous drilling by Benton Resources is currently unknown. According to (Jeffs, 2018), a total of 281 metres in 6 drillholes were completed but no documentation, assay certificates, or QAQC data is currently available.

Linear resources also completed drilling programs for the Seymour area with 1,866 metres in 32 drillholes.

5.4.2.1 Linear Resources

The Linear Resources QAQC program has not been reported but is not considered material as it relates to a small proportion of drillholes within the Aubry dataset.

5.4.2.2 Benton Resources

It is unknown if Benton Resources utilised any standard material and the exact drillholes for this program are currently not known.

5.4.2.3 "Pre-Ardiden" as listed by Phil Jones

A program of drilling was carried out by Rugged Aviation Inc. from Murillo, Ontario. A total of 27 drillholes were undertaken for a total of 1728 metres between the 22nd October and the 5 th December 2016.

Figure 13: Standard performance for 2016 Ardiden drilling

Generally, the standards performed as expected however the limits of the Pre-Ardiden QAQC were presented with confidence intervals that are considered too tight and result in more sample failures than expected. Using the industry standard measure of 2 (or 3 ) standard deviations would be expected to show a greater pass proportion with only a few standards not returning within the defined performance range (Figure 13).

5.4.2.4 Ardiden

Ardiden submitted two CRMs with the diamond drill samples labelled Oreas 147 and 149. Results of the CRMs is shown below in Figure 14 and Figure 15.

Oreas 147

Figure 14: Oreas 147 CRM performance.

Figure 15: Oreas 149 CRM performance.

Mining Plus was able to accurately reproduce the QAQC analysis undertaken by Phil Jones and is in agreement that the overall performance of the lab assay indicates that the samples are suitable for resource estimation work.

5.4.3 Blanks

Blanks were submitted along with standards for both Ardiden drilling programs

5.4.3.1 Non-E Series Sample IDs

All blanks returned assay results below detection

5.4.3.2 E Series Sample IDs

5.4.4 Duplicates

5.4.4.1 Field Duplicates

Figure 16: Ardiden drilling field duplicate performance.

5.4.4.2 Laboratory Repeats

Figure 17: Ardiden drilling laboratory repeats performance.

Mining Plus considers the QAQC of the Aubry data to be sufficient for estimation purposes. QAQC information is missing from a minor proportion of the overall Aubry estimates.

5.5 Mineral Resource Estimate

The current MRE for the Seymour Lake Project area was undertaken by Ardiden in February 2019. Ardiden commissioned an independent consultant, Mr Phil Jones (MAusIMM [#105653] / MAIG [#1903]) to produce the MRE as a competent person as defined by the JORC Code (JORC., 2012).

Mr Jones used data supplied by Ardiden for their resource estimate. This data included drill hole data files as spread sheets, reports by Peter Spitalny describing the geology of the deposit, a NI 43-101 Technical Report describing drilling completed in 2009 by previous owners of the property Linear Metals Corporation and various public announcements by Ardiden describing their exploration works to the report date.

5.5.1 Statistical Analysis

Little in the way of analysis for the exploration data analysis (EDA) is presented in the 2019 MRE Report. Raw data was composited into 1 metre intervals to be used in the estimate. Mining Plus has undertaken a review of the supplied data and with the dominant sample length being 1 metre in length, and little risk of adjusting the population distribution due to de-compositing non-standard interval lengths, is in agreement with the use of 1 metre intervals.

Population analysis by Mining Plus using log-probability and visual inspection of the drilling sections indicates the potential for at least two separate populations within the mineralised wireframes (Figure 18 and Figure 19). An inflection point is visible around the 14,000 ppm Li2O grade although this could be adjusted to better suit modelling if required. Visual analysis also shows zones that could be separately domained for future estimations using implicit modelling techniques.

Mining Plus recommends that any future resource estimates include analysis for separately domaining higher grade zones so as to prevent overly smoothing higher grade lithia. This could potentially adjust the overall contained lithia within the pegmatites by reducing some of the influence of higher grades and thereby reduce the overall lithia grade.

Figure 18: Log Probability Plot for Lithia of Aubry Pegmatites (14,000 ppm labelled in green).

Figure 19: North Aubry section approximately 5585210 North.

Top cuts were not applied in the MRE. Analysis by Mining Plus found the approach for no top cuts for lithia appropriate as there is no significant outliers that may have unduly biased the estimation.

However, the tantalum oxide grade distribution contains outliers (Figure 19) that are likely to have had an undue influence on the estimation, creating locally inaccurate (high) grades. Analysis by Mining Plus shows that there are a number of values increasing the population CV and potentially adding undue metal to the overall dataset. An obvious break can be observed in the Log Probability plot at around 1000 ppm however this in Mining Plus's opinion removes too much metal by reducing the CV to below 1.0 (Mean reduced by 13.5%). A second data inflection at 3500 ppm reduced the CV to 1.5 and the Mean by 6.1% which is more appropriate in the opinion of Mining Plus.

Figure 20: Histogram and Log-Probability plot for Ta2O5.

5.5.2 Continuity Analysis

No geostatistical continuity analysis was carried out for the 2019 MRE. The author selected an inverse distance cubic algorithm for the estimation process (ID3 in this case). Personal communication with the author revealed that the method was selected based on visual inspection of the core samples that appeared to show large variability in the overall spodumene quantities between drillholes suggesting that a low nugget would be present as each drillhole required a heavy weighting compared to the neighbouring drillhole data.

Mining Plus has analysed the supplied data of both Lithia and Tantalum to validate the assumption of the low nugget and to evaluate potential searches and ranges for any future

resource estimates (if undertaken). The generally low nugget is confirmed when variographic analysis is undertaken(Figure 21 and Figure 22), reinforcing the decision to weight the samples locally rather than spread the weighting to produce a smoothed 'average' grade for the pegmatites.

Figure 21: Lithia variography analysis for North Aubry lithia.

Figure 22: Variogram analysis for North Aubry tantalum oxide

5.5.3 Block Model and Grade Estimation

From its review of the block model attributes and grade estimation parameters used for the North Aubry block model, Mining Plus notes:

  • It considers the parent cell size to be appropriate given the dominant drillhole spacing. Block model parent cell size is generally considered to be no smaller than half the nominal drill spacing to prevent estimation errors such as the volume variance effect and false sense of selectivity built into the model.
  • The search ellipse parameters are considered appropriate given the orientation of the pegmatite.
  • The supplied report does not contain any more detailed information regarding the number of samples used during the estimation.
  • The inverse distance cubed (ID3 ) interpolation method has been used during the estimation of the block model.

  • o Mining Plus considers this approach to be sub-optimal as it may have placed undue weighting on each drillhole creating locally inaccurate grades (both high and low). Without testing the continuity of data using variography, localised weighting can prove a risk to the reliability of the global estimate.
  • o The lack of variographic analysis also limits the ability to test block modelling parameters testing using QKNA. QKNA uses the measure of Slope of Regression and Kriging Efficiency to optimise parameters such as Block Sizes, Minimum and Maximum samples in addition to maximum samples per drillhole, search ranges, and block discretisation parameters.
  • There is no waste (waste rock) model.
  • o Lithia and Tantalum mine optimisations and studies are heavily dependent of the influence of waste and deleterious materials and without a waste model it will not be possible to complete any mining dilution, processing optimisation, or environmental studies (including acid mine drainage studies).

5.5.4 Model Validation

Mining Plus has completed an independent validation of the supplied block model against the input wireframes and composites in order to determine the relative accuracy of the estimation.

  • The Mining Plus block model volume was compared against the wireframe volume to ensure that the modelled volume is accurate at the global scale.
  • Grade estimations were validated against the input composites (Figure 23).
  • o The validation results show that, for the majority of the deposit, the estimated grades match the input grades within acceptable tolerances; however, there are some areas of over estimation. In the case of tantalum oxide, this is due to uncapped grades.
  • Mining Plus classified the North Aubry model into Indicated and Inferred categories using an industry-standard approach based on drillhole density.
  • Mining Plus was able to replicate the Mineral Resource Estimation derived from the supplied block model and confirms the figures stated in the supplied resource report.

Figure 23: Li2O and Ta2O5 swathe plots.

5.5.5 Bulk Density

Bulk density measurements were carried out on a total of 369 pegmatite core samples using a pychnometer method of measurement. The reason for using pychnometer methods versus solid core immersion is not discussed but pychnometer methods typically used with crushed samples.

Mining plus considers 2.78 reasonable given spodumene has a density range between 3.03 and 3.2 but does recommend that some immersion measurements are undertaken on any future drillcore.

5.5.6 Model Classification

The supplied resource model has been classified in accordance with JORC 2012, utilising the drilling spacing of the Ardiden and Linear drilling programs (Ardiden versus Linear), and the availability of geological understanding through the pegmatite mapping.

Generally, regions drilled out to 20 x 20 metres and dominated by the more recent Ardiden drilling have been classified as indicated. Wider spaced drilling was classified as Inferred, and the extrapolated extents of the interpreted pegmatite were classified as an exploration target (or unclassified).

Mining Plus was reasonably satisfied that appropriate classifications have been applied to the current resource model.

5.5.7 Mineral Resource Reporting

Mining Plus tested the resource calculation by importing the supplied CSV files into Datamine software. The TONGRAD report exported by Datamine confirmed the reported figures stated in the original resource report for the Aubry 2019 MRE.

5.5.8 Future estimations

For future mineral resource estimates, Mining Plus considers the following opportunities, and weaknesses

Inclusion of Sn, Ce or Be (minor opportunity)

• Assays have been carried out for Sn, Ce and Be, but all generally appear in quantities below currently economically extractable levels. Mining Plus recommends that these elements be included in future resource estimates to deal with changing economics or the requirement of a geometallurgical block model.

Deleterious elements in pegmatite (Threat).

• The current database includes assays for deleterious elements such as Fe, S, and Radioactive elements. Mining Plus recommends that the mineral resource model includes estimates for deleterious elements to address any potential concerns related to processing methods, storage and transportation.

Waste model addition including Mafic's within Pegmatite (Weakness)

• Inclusion of mafic material within the pegmatite both more accurately estimates the tonnage of mineralised pegmatite, and more importantly, reduces the risk of contamination in the processing circuit from mafic material that interferes with the separation process. Incorporating interpretations of mafic material within the pegmatite model provides an opportunity to more accurately determine the tonnage of mineralised pegmatite as well as reduce the risk of iron contamination in the processing circuit.

5.6 Metallurgy

Metallurgical test work was carried out by Independent Metallurgical Operations Ltd (IMO) in 2017 to test for initial spodumene concentrate production, and laboratory test work to produce Li2CO3 by RUIFU Lithium (RUIFU) in 2018. Both studies indicted favourable results with the production of saleable lithium concentrates.

Preliminary studies for plant design and transport options were undertaken by Primero to test multiple levels of processing for the Seymour Lake mineralisation followed by transport and further processing at the nearby Georgia Lake Lithium deposit owned by Rock Tech Ltd. No final options were recommended due to limitations in logistic assumptions as it was difficult at the time to get Vendor's final parameter and Covid-19 restrictions. Further work would have to be undertaken to finalise any processing and transport options and should be considered a risk to the viability of the project at this stage.

5.7 Optimisation

Lerch-Grossmann pits were generated over both the North Aubry and South Aubry models using realistic revenue and cost parameters based on current concentrate prices and operating costs at similar deposits being mined elsewhere for the purposes of RPEEE. The entire reported South Aubry and the North Aubry resources lie within these Lerch shells (Jones, 2019).

Figure 24: Reasonable prospects of economic extraction optimisation shell over the Aubry North pegmatite .

An optimisation shell is available as a DXF but no parameters have been listed in the MRE report or within the attached Table 1. Communication with GTM revealed the parameters used were;

Optimisation Parameters Value
Mining cost \$ 20.05 (Ore)
\$ 3.35 (Waste)
Mining Recovery (%) 95%
Mining Dilution (%) 0%
6% Li2O Conc (AUD/tonnes) \$1,020 (USD\$730)
Processing Recovery (%) 100%
Transport Cost \$10
Processing + Admin Cost (per tonne) \$35.80/t
Mining Cost (per tonne) 6.77/t
Pit slope 45o Degrees

Table 2: Optimisation parameters for Aubry RPEEE.

While 6% Concentrate cost of USD\$730 appears conservative (cf. Galaxy @ USD\$900) and could potentially result in a larger optimisation, no value for the metallurgical recovery of Li2O was communicated that could potentially reduce the overall optimisation volume. No mining dilution is also listed as being taken into account, but conversely as the material is all fresh, the wall angles used could be considered conservative. Future estimates could be updated to include missing parameters but currently the parameters are being used to test for RPEEE and will only give an estimate on future reserve calculations if undertaken.

Future resources and any reserves calculated will require more detailed mining parameters (along with deleterious elements and waste model) for more fully understand potential minable portions of the Aubry pegmatites but currently there is potential upside for the Aubry pegmatite to be minable below the current drilling levels.

5.8 Exploration Potential

The Aubry pegmatites currently have not been closed off at depth and generally appear thicker at depth. Initial reviews by Mining Plus concur with initial observations regarding the depth potential of Aubry North.

The Seymour Lake tenement package is significantly more extensive than the Aubry pegmatite zone and geophysical exploration programs have been undertaken to look for potential extensions and extra pegmatite units in the area.

A surface sampling program was undertaken by Ardiden in 2016 with the intention of identifying further fractionated pegmatites that were spodumene bearing. A total of 84 grab samples were collected with approximately 20 samples returning Li2O% grades of greater the 0.10%. Three potentially new zones were identified from the sampling.

Ardiden commissioned Ground Radar Inc. in early 2018 to undertake a GPR program to identify extra spodumene bearing pegmatites. Initial GPR lines around the original Aubry pegmatites are shown below in .

Figure 25: Seymour Project (Aubry pegmatite zone) GPR lines.

The results of the GPR program have been reviewed at a high level by Core Geophysics. Core geophysics concluded based on the available data and interpretations that the adopted methodology and technical specifications are consistent with best practices. UltraGPR has been used in an attempt to map pegmatites under cover in an area where there are outcropping pegmatites. These surveys indicate that numerous reflectors could be pegmatites. However, this remains a subjective association at best without drilling results to substantiate this contention.

The summary report is attached as an appendix.

5.9 Seymour SWOT summary

Following is a summary of the main project risks and recommendations within a Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses and Threats (SWOT) format.

5.9.1 Seymour Lake Project - Strengths

Based on its high-level review, Mining Plus believes the key Strengths of the Seymour Lake / Aubry North resource model are as follows:

  • The database is in good condition with only minor validation errors identified. Database collated and Validated by Geobase Australia in 2019.
  • Drillhole collars match the high-resolution LiDAR topographic surface with only minor exceptions.
  • No errors were noted in the down-hole surveys.
  • With only minor exceptions, mineralisation wireframes are accurately snapped to the drillholes.
  • The block model volume faithfully represents the wireframe volumes.
  • The block model parent cell size is considered appropriate given density of drillholes.
  • Resource classifications have been applied appropriately.
  • Reported tonnes and grades are reproducible from the block model.
  • A high level of geological understanding through mapping, sampling and academic research is available at Aubry.
  • Favourable metallurgy with initial testwork showing that gravity separation producing high-grade spodumene concentrate under lab conditions. Positive test results for both Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) and Dense Media Cyclone Separation (DMCS).
  • Proximity to infrastructure including power (including proposed Jackfish River plant although completion date is uncertain), transport including rail (Trans-Canada and the Ferland Station), and services at either Armstrong or Thunder Bay.

5.9.2 Seymour Lake Project - Weakness

Based on its high-level review, Mining Plus believes the key Weaknesses of the Seymour Lake / Aubry North resource model are as follows:

  • The orebody strikes northwest dipping consistently ~40 degrees to the northeast. The dip may complicate mining without dilution of high-iron mafic country rock. Higher level mining studies will be required to plan for this eventuality.
  • The pegmatite mineralisation wireframes contain intervals logged at mafic or are unlogged. These mafic lenses have not been included in the model and should be considered for any future models.
  • The pegmatite mineralisation wireframes contain minor unrealistic kinks that may lead to locally inaccurate tonnages.
  • No waste model has been completed on surrounding Fe and other deleterious elements.
  • Only lithia (Li2O) and tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) have been estimated into the block model. No deleterious elements have been estimated (i.e. radioactive elements, iron etc.)
  • No top-cutting has been performed on tantalum oxide grades despite the presence of outlier grades.
  • Lithia and tantalum oxide grades have been estimated using the inverse distance cubed method (ID3 ). This technique may place undue weighting on high or low-grade samples resulting in an inaccurate grade estimate.
  • Statistical analysis of the drillhole input grades versus the model suggests some areas of the model may be overstating the lithia and tantalum oxide grades.

5.9.3 Seymour Lake Project - Opportunities

Based on its high-level review, Mining Plus believes the key Opportunities presented by the Seymour Lake / Aubry North resource model are as follows:

• The Aubry north pegmatite is open and appears to get thicker at depth. This area has been included in the resource estimation as an exploration target and is estimated to contain more than a million tonnes at >1% lithia.

  • The initial data review indicates there may be separate high- and low-grade lithia populations within the mineralisation wireframes. By modelling these separately the lithia grade may increase.
  • The mineralogy of the spodumene occurring as randomly orientated crystals up to 50cm in length, suggests that beneficiation through recent sorting methods (eg. Tomra or Steinert).
  • Mining Plus has not analysed the GPR data and cannot comment with authority that the structures interpreted by the geophysics contractor (Francke, 2018) are indeed pegmatite bodies. We do, however consider the interpretation to be reasonable and, subject to proof by drillhole testing, believe that the GPR survey confirms the presence of additional pegmatite exploration targets at the Seymour Lake project.

5.9.4 Seymour Lake Project - Threats

Based on its high-level review, Mining Plus believes the Key Threats to the Seymour Lake / Aubry North resource model are as follows:

  • Unlogged intervals within the pegmatite mineralisation wireframes may contain mafic areas which may introduce unidentified dilution containing high iron.
  • The average true thickness of the modelled pegmatite is 10-20m which may be difficult to mine without significant dilution containing high iron.
  • The initial data review indicates there may be separate high- and low-grade lithia populations within the mineralisation wireframes. By modelling these separately, the lithia grade may decrease.
  • Outcropping pegmatites between North and South Aubry at surface are relatively thin and may continue with the same geometry at depth. The Central Aubry pegmatite is also shown to been intruded by Mafic dykes which may also continue at depth.

6 ROOT LAKE

6.1 GEOLOGY

6.1.1 Regional geology (Magyarosi, 2016)

The Root Lake project is underlain by rocks of the Uchi Subprovince close to the boundary between the Uchi and English River subprovinces of the Superior Province of Ontario (Breaks et al. 2003). The Uchi and English River subprovinces are separated by the Sydney Lake – Lake St. Joseph Fault.

The Uchi Subprovince is a tabular shaped, approximately 690 km long, east-ward belt composed of volcanic and sedimentary supracrustal rocks that are underlain by synvolcanic plutons and intruded by younger felsic plutons and batholithic complexes of various ages(Figure 26). The supracrustal volcanic and sedimentary rocks are subdivided into several greenstone belts. The age of the rocks ranges between 3 and 2.69 Ga. The rocks of the Uchi Subprovince were affected by several orogenic events, the last and most dominant one being the Kenoran Orogeny.

The English River Subprovince is an 800 km long and 50 km wide east trending belt composed of highly metamorphosed and migmatized clastic sedimentary rocks, minor volcanic rocks and tonalitic to granitic intrusions ranging between 2.65 and 2.70 Ga in age

Figure 26: Simplified geology showing rare element occurrences in the Root Lake area (Breaks, et al., 2003).

6.1.2 Local Geology (Magyarosi, 2016)

6.1.2.1 Bedrock Geology

The Root Lake project lies within the boundary zone of the Uchi and English River Subprovinces. The Uchi Subprovince is an east-west trending predominantly metavolcanicmetasedimentary belt in the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. The English River Subprovince follows the same trend as the Uchi Belt, but is characterised by metasediments and their migmatitic counterparts in its northern domain and with granitic intrusives and gneissic plutonic rocks dominating its southern portion (Breaks et al., 1979), see Figure 27.

Figure 27: Root Lake Project regional geology (Magyarosi, 2016).

6.1.2.2 Surficial Geology

The Root Lake area has a generally low relief with swampy ground separated by rocky outcropping ridges and unconsolidated glacial material.

6.1.3 Geological interpretation

6.1.3.1 Mineralisation – McCombe Pegmatite

The Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) mapped and sampled the best surface exposures of the two McCombe pegmatitic dykes on the west end of the occurrence and made the following observations (Breaks et al., 2003):

Several internal zones were observed in the two pegmatites:

  • tourmaline zone (exocontact) along dyke contacts
  • white feldspar-rich wall zone
  • tourmaline-bearing, equigranular to porphyritic potassium feldspar, sodic aplite zone
  • tourmaline-bearing, porphyritic potassium feldspar spodumene pegmatite zone
  • lepidolite-rich pods and seams

Dyke 1 is the largest and is intermittently exposed for a strike length of 176 m and maximum width of 15 m. Dyke 2 is lens-shaped in plan and measures 19 by 87 m. Highly deformed mafic metavolcanic rocks comprise the host rocks that contain local, acicular, purple/blue holmquistite (lithium amphibole) crystals formed due to lithium-enriched fluids from the pegmatites metasomatizing the host rocks.

Figure 28: Detailed geology at McCombe complex-type pegmatite Dykes 1 and 2 (Breaks, et al., 2003).

The Uchi-English River sub-provincial boundary zone has yielded favourable conditions for the generation of rare element-enriched pegmatites. There are several fertile, peraluminous, parent granite bodies present within the 350km strike length of this boundary zone which are considered to have generated rare element mineralization; the Wenasaga Lake batholith (Sandy Creek beryl pegmatite), the Allison Lake batholith (Jubilee Lake pegmatite group and possibly the Root Lake pegmatite group) and the Twinname Lake stock (Breaks et al., 2003).

Significant documentation is available on the studies, mapping and sampling of the Root Lake pegmatites, including the Landore Resources summary report

6.1.3.2 Mineralisation – Consolidated Morrison Pegmatite (Root Lake Pegmatite)

The Root Lake pegmatite lies within the Birch - Uchi Greenstone Belt and is hosted by metasedimentary rocks of the Lake St. Joseph belt (Figure 29). The "Root Lake Pegmatite Group" was reclassified in 2001 (Ontario Geological Survey – Summary of Field Work and Other Activities 2001) as being of "complex type, spodumene subtype" and of having high

potential for tantalum mineralization. The area hosts the historical Consolidated Morrison pegmatite (Golden Dory claims) as well as the McCombe Pegmatites lying 1 kilometre west of the Golden Dory property and host to a historical resource of 2.297 million tons grading 1.3% Li2O. Sampling by the OGS also returned up to 380 ppm tantalum associated with a tourmaline rich zone within the McCombe pegmatites. Assessment file 52J13NE0005 by Capital Lithium Mines Limited gives a good description of the McCombe pegmatites and briefly mentions the Root Lake dyke.

The mineralization hosted on the claims consists of a complex, spodumene rich pegmatite featuring locally extremely coarse-grained (0.5 meter long) spodumene crystals. Tourmaline crystals up to 1-2 centimetres in length have been noted near the dyke margins. It is believed the associated rare metals, including Ta and Nb, are closely linked to the presence of tourmaline.

Detailed mapping of a number of trenches is available for interpretation and is recommended for use in any future drill planning and wireframe interpretations used for resource estimation work.

An example map is shown below in Figure 30.

6.1.3.3 Mineralisation – Root Bay (and other prospects)

The Root Bay Prospect has no historical drilling, whilst the occurrence of a Spodumene bearing pegmatite dyke was sampled by Ardiden in 2016. The 15m channel sample returned values of up to 2.54% Li2O over 1m and 3m at 2.24% Li2O (Figure 31). Further field work was planned by Ardiden to quantify the extent of Spodumene mineralisation at the Root Bay Prospect but this was not completed by the time of the change of ownership.

6.1.3.4 Weathering

While very little of the Ontario region has any remaining weathered cover, there is an abundance of glacial deposits comprising shallow gravelly soils, boulder till and in places thick moraines obscuring the bedrock (Figure 32). In low-lying areas the bedrock is also obscured by lakes and swamps.

Figure 32: Regolith and glacial material covering fresh outcrop (ADV ASX Release October 2016).

6.1.3.5 Depletion for Mining

No mining activities beyond some trenching and sampling has been undertaken at the Root Lake project.

6.2 Sample Preparation, Analysis, and security

Sample preparation and analysis protocols for the original Capital Lithium Ltd drilling carried out in 1956 is currently unknown. The list of unknown information from the original discovery and exploration programs include:

  • QAQC
  • Core orientations
  • Drill program descriptions
  • Sub-sampling information is not documented
  • Historical assay standards are mentioned but cannot be compared to assaying techniques available today
  • Historic drillhole data points are located along drill grid lines using imperial measurements. No coordinates are documented.
  • Dip measurements were taken using acid tube methods and no azimuth information is available.
  • Sample security is not documented
  • Historic samples represent half the core width and were logged in insufficient detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation

6.3 Data Verification

Assay certificates are available for:

• Ardiden 2016 'Due-Diligence' drilling program

Assay Certificates are unavailable for:

• Capital Lithium Mines 1956 McCombe drilling

6.4 Input Data

6.4.1 Data Sources

Drilling and sampling data was validated and imported into a database by Landore from the drill logs and sections of Capital Lithium Mines. At the time no drill core, assay certificates or core photographs were available.

The majority of the missing data remained unavailable at the time of writing this report and it is unknown if the data exists.

6.4.2 Grid Co-ordinate System

Current collar and sampling points are in the NAD83 Zone 15 coordinate system. Original drillhole locations from Capital Lithium Mines Ltd, and Consolidated Morrison utilised local grid or drill lines to determine collar locations.

Original collar location data is available for the McCombe pegmatite but database information on the name or conversion of the grid is not present. The Morrison pegmatite data is likewise labelled as a local transform but no original coordinates are present in the database.

Conversion of data to UTM (NAD83 z15) is reported in (Tuomi, 2010) but no conversion coordinates or methods are documented.

6.4.3 Drilling Data and Sampling Data

6.4.3.1 McCombe Pegmatite

The McCombe pegmatite was explored in detail by Capital Lithium in November 1955 with the drilling of the 'Main' A Zone, which was completed in October 1956 after drilling out Zones A, B, C and D (Capital Lithium assessment files: 52J13NE0005, 52J13NE0006, 52J13NE0009, (Mulligan, 1965)).

Figure 33: McCombe pegmatite zones historical drillholes locations with Ardiden 'Due-Diligence' drilling (ADV ASX release 22 June 2016).

Between May 8 and May 18, 2016, Ardiden completed a drill program on the McCombe pegmatite dyke consisting of 7 BQTK drill holes totalling 469 m. The purpose of the drilling was to validate the historical results of Capital Lithium Ltd. A total of 151 samples were collected and sent for analysis. An example cross-section is shown in Figure 33.

QAQC was submitted with the selected drill core samples at a ratio close to the accepted industry standard of 1 in 20. However, no information is available on the certified values of the standards submitted. The report quotes, "The standards are all within acceptable range" and "All field duplicates are within acceptable limits of the original sample", but no values were provided as such Mining Plus is unable to comment on the accuracy of these statements.

The results were reported as confirming the quality and continuity of the lithium mineralization at the McCombe pegmatite. Grades were up to 3.8% Li2O. Hole RL-16-06, which was drilled down dip, intersected 67 m of mineralization with an average grade of 1.75% Li2O.

Figure 34: The 590725 mE cross-section of the main McCombe pegmatite showing original historical grades and the results of the 2016 Ardiden 'Due-Diligence' drilling (ADV ASX release 22 June 2016).

A comparison cross-section produced by Capital Lithium Mines Ltd is incomplete and has no pegmatite or grades plotted.

Figure 35: Section 3+00W showing drillholes 7 and 8 for comparison with Figure 34.

Mining Plus has determined that the results of the Ardiden due diligence do confirm the existence and the general tenure of the historical grades. However, with advances in drilling and assaying technology, there remains an opportunity to test more of the known pegmatite and it's extensions to increase both the resource base and confidence of the McCombe pegmatite.

6.4.3.2 Consolidated Morrison Pegmatite

The Consolidated Morrison pegmatite is located 2 km southeast of the McCombe dykes. Historical drilling completed by Consolidated Morrison traced the pegmatite dyke for approximately 1200 m and the dyke remains open both to the east and west.

The Consolidated Morrison dyke strikes east and dips moderately to steeply to the south. It is similar to the McCombe pegmatite, but coarser-grained and not complexly zoned (Pye,

1968). The host rock for the Consolidated Morrison Pegmatite is mafic metavolcanic rocks. The Consolidated Morrison pegmatite in the trenches is simply zoned with aplite zone, intermediate K-feldspar zone and spodumene pegmatite zone. The overall content of the spodumene is 18-20%. The Consolidated Morrison trench is essentially an extension and connection of the original 5 trenches done by Consolidated Morrison Ltd in the 1950's.

The 'Golden Dory' trenches to the west of the Consolidated Morrison trenches sampled between 2000 and 2009 originally by H.A. Watt in 2000, to Golden Dory in 2009, is likely the same pegmatite dyke as the Consolidate Morrison pegmatite. Its host rock is mafic metavolcanic rocks and the pegmatite shows aplite zones and spodumene pegmatite zone.

Figure 36: Consolidated Morrison sample trenches with the location of the Golden Dory 'West' sampling area

Due diligence sampling of the historical trenches by Golden Dory in the fall of 2009 verified the existence of significant lithium mineralization, including 4.43% Li2O over 5.00 metres (Figure 30) from chip sampling of a trench (Clark, 2012).

Figure 37: Golden Dory Resources sample and stripping locations (Clark, 2012).

The sampling completed by Golden Dory confirmed the existence of Lithium Oxide, along with anomalous values of tantalum, niobium, and other PCT elements.

Follow-up sampling was carried out by Ardiden in 2016 to further validate the trench samples by Consolidated Morrison and Golden Dory. The work was completed by Derek A. Drayson and Harvey M. Buck from Caracle Creek and two helpers from the Slate Falls First Nation (Chris Carpenter and Kyle Spence) (Magyarosi, 2016).

Between July 23 and July 30 in 2016, a total of 11 channels were cut and sampled (Table 3). The sampled pegmatite dykes included the Consolidated Morrison dyke (channels CM-CH-16- 01 to CM-CH-16-05), the Golden Dory East dyke (channels GDE-CH-16-01 and GDE-CH-16-02), the Golden Dory West dyke (channels GDW-CH-16-01 to GDW-CH-16-03) on claim 4283915 and the Root Bay dyke (RootBay-CH-16-01) on claim 4282604.

Table 3: Summary of intercepts for the 2016 channel sampling.

Sampling logs from the channel sampling program and assay certificates (Sample IDs 1121017 to 1121076) are available for the validation sampling, confirming the presence of significant lithium oxide.

6.4.4 Topography

Surface topography has been provided in the form of a single DXF file of the regional contours. Unfortunately, RL data hasn't been retained in the conversion, with all Z values being zero.

Mining Plus recommends that original topography data is found or extracted from aerial surveys that were carried out.

6.4.5 Wireframes

No 3D wireframes are available for the Root Lake project pegmatites. The McCombe pegmatite was originally estimated in 1956 prior to 3D software and the subsequent 2010 update is currently only in 2d GIS formats.

6.5 Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Historic QAQC programs, standards and assays are not documented and a comprehensive interpretation is currently not possible.

All drilling prior to the Ardiden 2016 confirmation drilling programs should be considered historical data of unknown accuracy.

6.5.1 Assay Certificates

The original sampling and stripping program carried out by Golden Dory Resources is the first program that includes assay certificates in the program report which were confirmed to be assay certificates from Sept 2009 (report A09-5083 to A09-5991).

Drilling carried out between May 2016 and August 2016 by Ardiden limited are reported by Actlabs in Ontario, Canada, from reports A16-04530 and A16-08256.

Little or no assay certificates are available for work prior to the 2016 Ardiden due-diligence drilling and sampling.

6.5.2 Certified reference material and Blanks

A total of 161 drill core samples were sent to the lab, including 3 blanks, 4 low Li standards and 3 high Li standards. A total 85 grab and channel samples were sent to the lab to be analysed for lithium, including 4 blanks, 4 Li standards and 4 field duplicates (Magyarosi, 2016).

However, no certified values were published and a comparison of the acceptability of the standard and blank returned values cannot be assessed by Mining Plus.

6.5.3 Duplicates

No duplicates were reported in the documentation for the Root Lake project.

6.5.4 Independent assay laboratory checks

No independent laboratory assay checks have been reported for either prospect.

6.5.5 Comparison of drilling companies

The original methods and drilling company for the Capital Lithium drilling is not documented so a comparison between drilling companies (and potentially methods) cannot be assessed.

6.6 Mineral Resource Estimate

Historical resource estimates have been carried out on the Root Lake project but the resources are either historical in nature and are not compliant with JORC 2012 or Ni43-101 reporting standards. Results from these resource calculations should only be used to provide and indicative presence of lithium mineralisation and abundance.

1956 - Capital Lithium Mines Ltd

Very little information for the 1956 resource estimate was available. The majority of references to the resource estimate only include the final calculation and the original source document. However, the referenced source of the numbers contains very little in the method of estimation (although assumed to be sectional interpretation), but does have a reasonable description of the dominant mineralogy of each of the pegmatite units.

The original program ceased with the recommendation to await more suitable market conditions.

2010 - Landore Resources Ltd

In Feb 2010 Fred H Brown for Landore Resources Inc. undertook an internal assessment of the Root Lake project. The 2010 resource calculation is unpublished and not reportable but also not listed as either the McCombe or Morrison pegmatite. Initial assessment by Mining Plus assumed that the resource was separate to the McCombe pegmatite as the interpretation showed two pegmatites instead of four, and no tonnages and grades matched the original reporting.

The report by Michele Tuomi (Tuomi, 2010) indicated the model is a re-work of the McCombe pegmatite and drillhole locations also indicate that it is the McCombe deposit. Mining Plus, therefore, imported the 2D shape available to test the spatial location compared to the

existing database. The results shown in Figure 38confirm the FH Brown estimate was a reinterpretation of the McCombe pegmatite.

Figure 38: D100 location from Landore Resources re-interpretation of the McCombe pegmatite.

6.6.2 Continuity Analysis

No continuity analysis was reported as being completed for the re-assessment.

6.6.3 Block Model and Grade Estimation

  • A parent block model with partial percentage was used to represent volume and tonnages contained in the wireframes.
  • o No information on block sizes was documented.
  • No mention was made of the estimation technique used along with no mention of
  • o Min/Max samples
  • o Search ranges

6.6.4 Bulk Density

An assumed bulk density of 2.6g/dm3 was applied to the assessment. This at the lower range of the expected density for pegmatites in the Ontario region and may have been applied to a conservative estimate.

6.6.5 Mineral Resource Reporting

McCombe Pegmatite

Capital Lithium drilled 55 holes totalling 10,442 m and estimated a historical resource. Original data and any quality control data is not currently avalaible.

The Independent geologist has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. The issuer is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. This historical estimate is provided as a rough estimate to highlight potential mineral resources. This historical estimate does not use categories as defined in JORC2012 or any equivalent reporting code.

The independent re-model that was unpublished by FH Brown was reported at a range of cut offs from global lithia grade to 2%.

Cutoff Li2O% Tonnes x 1000 Grade Li2O%
2.00% 0.00
1.80% 0 0.00
1.60% 9 1.63
1.40% 219 1.48
1.20% 440 1.40
1.00% 929 1.23

0.20% 3,399 0.76
0.00% 3,848 0.69

6.6.5.1 Optimisation

Simple optimisation work was carried out using the following parameters (Table 5);

0.20% 1,659 0.97
0.00% 1,729 0.93

Table 6: Reported results inside the optimisation shell for FH Brown 2010 assessment.

The author states that "Conceptual mineralization does not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineralization will be converted into mineral resources or reserves. The quantity and grade of reported mineralization in this estimate is conceptual in nature and does not meet the criteria for public reporting of mineral resources." It is important to consider that the optimisation cannot be verified with current parameters due to the lack of the block model utilised by F H Brown but initial evaluation considered the deposit sub-economic in 2010 indicating further expansion of the deposit would be required.

While little commentary or documentation is available on the technical assessment carried out by FH Brown, it is noteworthy that the calculated tonnages and grades are significantly lower than the original 1956 reported tonnages and grades at all cut-offs. Mining Plus is of the opinion that the geological interpretation has a significant bearing on both the tonnage and grade considering four pegmatite zones versus two and should be reviewed prior to any further drilling or resource estimation.

6.6.6 Metallurgical Testwork

In 1956, Capital Lithium Mines Ltd. collected a 453.6kg (1,000lb) sample from the "A" Zone at surface and submitted this to the Industrial Minerals Division, Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Ottawa, for lithium concentrate testwork. A smaller sample collected from drill core was submitted in the same year to the Lakefield Research Laboratories at Lakefield, Ontario for concentration tests (Bridger, 1956). The results of these tests are unknown (Tuomi, 2010).

6.7 Exploration Potential

Extensions to known pegmatites have already been identified but infill drilling using industry standard methods and assaying methods are required to increase the confidence of these known resources and to test targets.

Figure 40: Simplified geology and rare element occurrences in the general Root Lake area (Breaks, et al., 2003).

The initial recommended work program from (Tuomi, 2010):

  • A 1,5000 metre drilling program be carried out to validate the Capital Lithium McCombe pegmatite results and to outline other pegmatite occurrences (drill design not currently available).
  • Location and re-logging program of Capital Lithium drill core, if available. The objective is to confirm historical drilling results.
  • Property-scale geological mapping to establish additional drilling targets.
  • Additional claim acquisition, by way of staking and/or agreements with existing claim owners, to expand in this prospective region.

Mining plus considers that a diamond drilling program will provide more benefit at this stage of the project development. A number of magnetic surveys were carried out in 2011 and 2012 that could be additions to information obtained from drilling.

6.8 Root Lake Project SWOT summary

The following provides a summary of the main project risks and recommendations within a Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses and Threats (SWOT) format.

6.8.1 Root Lake Project - Strengths

  • Known mineralisation in McCombe pegmatite zones A, B C and D (D100 and D200 reassessment) and Consolidated Morrison pegmatite.
  • Recent and historical mapping programs,
  • A number of channel sampling programs confirm the earlier trenching results.

6.8.2 Root Lake Project - Weakness

  • Unknown condition of the current dataset.
  • Data appears as a mixture of spreadsheets, Microsoft Access database files and a Micromine working folder.
  • Surface mapping remains in GIS formats and has no defined 3D model (aside from D100 and D200) to calculate volumes.

6.8.3 Root Lake Project - Opportunities

  • Proposal drilling programs have been previously determined by a number of companies but have yet to be carried out (Figure 41).
  • A first pass model of the Root Lake Project has been completed and can be used as a basis for future resource and exploration work.
  • Geometry of the strike and dip of the McCombe pegmatite are favourable with the shallowing of the pegmatite for possible optimisation studies.
  • The resource area is not closed off down-dip, and potential exists for mineralisation extensions.
  • The Morrison Prospect to the East of McCombe showed good grab sampling results in trenches.

6.8.4 Root Lake Project - Threats

• The Project does not have comprehensive geology incorporated into the resource

  • The D100 and D200 domains in the Main Zone of the McCombe Deposit stated by F H Brown with potential of 2.3Mt at 1.3% Li2O is notably different to the 2010 model of 2.5Mt at 0.92% Li2O. Geological interpretation should be undertaken to reduce the risk of incorrect mineral estimations.
  • The Pegmatites are split into four separate dykes ranging between one and fifty feet in width (0.3m to 16m). The weighted average width of the 'ore-bearing portions' was recorded as 4 to 7m. This narrow width may prove more difficult to mine without careful planning.

Figure 41: Region of interest identified by Ardiden (ADV, 2016).

Geological mapping has discovered approximately 20 instances of new pegmatite dykes, structures, exposures and boulders (ADV, 2016). The number that were reported to contain any spodumene was not disclosed so while the existence of extra pegmatites shows that potential exists for further mineralised pegmatite bodies within the Root Lake project, there remains an exploration risk as to the existence of sufficiently fractionated pegmatite that could become an exploration target in the future.

7 WISA LAKE

7.1 GEOLOGY

7.1.1 Regional geology (Winter, 2013)

The Wisa Lake project is located within the Quetico Subprovince of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield (Figure 42). On a regional basis, the Quetico Subprovince consists predominantly of metamorphosed turbiditic wacke, largely derived from and deposited during and after the volcanic climax in the neighbouring Wawa, Wabigoon and Abitibi Subprovinces, during the period 2.70 to 2.69 Ga.

Overthrust imbrication at both the Wabigoon-Quetico north contact) and the Quetico-Wawa (south contact) Subprovince contacts occurred along north-dipping shears, which subsequently steepened to near vertical during compressional tectonics. A regional schistosity, on which fold axes and mineral elongation lineations are variably developed and orientated, is interpreted to result from regional shortening and dextral shearing, especially at the margins of the Quetico Subprovince. The Subprovince trends east-northeast. Amphibolite-facies metamorphism, migmatite formation and granite intrusion occurred during the period 2.67 to 2.65 Ga.

Most of the metasedimentary rocks in the Quetico Subprovince originally consisted of wacke and siltstone. Rare iron formations, conglomerate and metasedimentary rocks of ultramafic composition occur but are volumetrically insignificant. Igneous rocks include biotitehornblende-magnetite-bearing granitoid (I-type) bodies of mixed mafic and felsic composition with minor associated ultramafic units and metaluminous to peraluminous one and two-mica leucogranitoids, some of which have a meta sediment origin (S-type). The granitoid rocks, classified into I and S-type represent magmas of mantle or lower crustal and sediment derivation, respectively.

Figure 42: Wisa Lake project regional geology (Winter, 2013).

Rare-element pegmatites exhibit a widespread distribution in the Quetico Subprovince, covering at least a 540 km strike length from the Wisa Lake area east to the Lowther Township pegmatite near Hearst (Figure 43). Furthermore, the restriction of rare-element pegmatites to boundary zones with adjacent subprovinces is not applicable to the Quetico Subprovince. It is apparent from the compilation in Figure 43 that rare-element mineralization is distributed across the Quetico Subprovince and a large percentage of rare-element pegmatites are

concentrated within the centre of the subprovince as, for example, at Georgia Lake (Pye, 1968).

Figure 43: Location of metasedimentary-hosted rare-element mineralization associated with the Quetico and Opatica subprovinces (Breaks, et al., 2003).

7.1.2 Local geology

Within the Wisa Lake project, spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes are present and represent the targets of economic interest (Winter, 2013). These dykes are considered to be associated with white to grey muscovite leucogranites (peraluminous), which were probably produced by the partial melting of wacke-type sediments during the deformation and metamorphism of the Quetico Subprovince (Williams, 1991).

7.1.2.1 Surficial Geology

As for the Seymour Lake and Root Lake project, the Wisa Lake Project consists of an abundance of glacial deposits comprising shallow gravelly soils, boulder till and in places thick moraines obscuring the bedrock. In low-lying areas, the bedrock is also obscured by lakes and swamps.

7.1.3 Geological interpretation

7.1.3.1 Mineralisation

Two spodumene pegmatites discovered in the 1950s, and hosted in medium-grade metasedimentary rocks, are located in the central Quetico Subprovince of the Lac La Croix area (Figure 43). The area was explored for lithium in 1956 by Lexindin Gold Mines Limited (Mulligan, 1965) with attention directed to the largest pegmatite near Wisa Lake (locality 01- JBS-94: UTM 557141E, 5363473N, Zone 15) and which was traced on surface for a strike of 335 m with widths from 6 to 12 m. This pegmatite is flat-lying but may also dip 20° to the north and consists of a mildly deformed, green muscovite-potassium feldspar-spodumenequartz-albite zone layered with blue apatite-garnet-muscovite aplite. Minor beryl occurs in the spodumene zone and black tantalum-oxide grains were noted in both pegmatite zones (Breaks, et al., 2003).

North Zone Pegmatite

The North Zone pegmatite, which was traced through surface exposures by personnel from Alset Energy Corporation (Alset) for nearly 1.5km of strike length, contains the non-JORC compliant resource of 330,000 tonnes grading 1.15% Li2O and was defined by historical drilling over a strike length of 335m. The historical drill logs show that the deposit is open to the east and at depth and future drilling could substantially expand the historical resource.

South Zone Pegmatite

The South Zone pegmatite was also drilled in the 1950s, but not to the extent of the North Zone. This area of interest appears to have the highest spodumene content discovered on the property, with 6.38% Li2O reported from a grab sample and will be a key focus of the company's exploration and due diligence review.

New Pegmatite Dykes

Additionally, Alset Energy Corporation discovered further spodumene-bearing dykes during their April 2016 exploration program. One dyke was located 100m south of the South Zone pegmatite and a further pegmatite exposure was mapped approximately 3kms to the west of the historic deposit in the North Zone pegmatite Figure 44.

7.1.3.2 Depletion for Mining

No Mining has been undertaken at the Wisa Lake project.

7.2 Sample Preparation, Analysis, and security

Little information for historical sampling was available for this review. Previous drilling by Lexindin contained only information on the drilling logs and little else.

Follow-up sampling was carried out by Dan Patrie Exploration in 2013 where 8 grab samples were collected and delivered to Dan Patrie's offices. Following the description of the grab sample, a sample ticket was placed in each bag and securely tied. The samples were then delivered to AGAT Laboratories in Sudbury for preparation and analysis.

In 2016 Benton Capital acquired the Wisa Lake project and subsequently changed its name to Alset Energy Corporation. Alset then undertook a grab sampling during April 2016 as part of due diligence.

Little in the way of reporting is available for this sampling program but it was reported by Ardiden that the program comprised 56 samples concentrating on the North and South pegmatites, along with the 'New' pegmatite exposure 100 metre further south of 'South Zone' was undertaken by Alset Minerals Ltd. It is currently not possible to validate the sampling program.

Figure 44: Summary of 2016 Alset Energy Corp due-diligence sampling.

7.3 Data Verification

Sample location and assay certificates were provided by Dan Patrie Exploration in their summary report from December 2013.

No report was available describing the Alset sampling program beyond a handover excel spreadsheet. No assay certificates were provided.

7.4.1 Data Sources

Data for the Wisa Lake project has been collected since the Lexindin 1956 drilling program until Alset's ownership period in 2016.

7.4.2 Grid Co-ordinate System

The current database uses NAD83 Zone 15 UTM coordinates.

No information is available on the conversion of drillhole collars, which were reported relative to strike line sand transformed to UTM coordinates. Likewise, little information for the location of grab samples is given but the effect of these will be immaterial should future sampling or drilling be undertaken.

7.4.3 Drilling Data

Drilling data for the original Lexindin drilling program are available through copies of the handwritten logs with an example presented in Figure 45. The logs include descriptions of pegmatite dyke or sediments along with contact orientations.

Drillhole locations are described as relative to drilling strike lines and grades are currently unavailable for the Lexindin drilling.

7.4.4 Wireframes

No wireframes or interpretations are available for the Wisa Lake project. It is likely that any interpretations only existed in hardcopy maps and sections and these have not been sighted by Mining Plus.

7.5 Quality Assurance and Quality Control

No QAQC data was available for the Wisa Property.

The sampling report submitted by L D S Winter for Dan Patrie Exploration Ltd makes no mention of QAQC as the sampling being undertaken comprised only grab samples.

7.5.1 Assay Certificates

Assay certificates were presented in the Dan Patrie report 2013 (8 samples) and included from AGAT Laboratories analytical results for the batch 13U783738.

No other assay certificates for sample data is avalaible.

7.6 Mineral Resource Estimate

A historical resource published after 1958 was reported by Lexindin Gold Mines Ltd. The total mineral resource reported was 330,000 tonnes @ 1.15% Li2O included in a Managers Report from 1958 (Puumala, et al., 2012). Currently only the reported values were available and a full copy of the manager's report has not been located for the purposes of this review.

Very little background information beyond the mineral resource total was available. The mineral resources were based on 20 backpack AQ sized diamond drillholes over a strike zone of 330 metres, and to a depth of 65 metres. The drilling database only contains the lithological logs and no reference to Li2O assays grades was available. Mining Plus considered that an overall comparison of mineral resource values to grades was not possible.

Due to the absence of an adequate validation it was considered the resource should be listed as historic and would require a full estimation, including re-drilling the deposit, to be considered for public listing purposes.

7.7 Exploration Potential

The Wisa Lake Project area has a number of mapped pegmatites that have been discovered over the +50 year period from the initial project by Lexindin Gold Mines in the 1950s. The Wisa Lake Project currently consists of a well-distributed range of surface grab sampling along with indicative grades of the known pegmatites (Figure 46). These include:

  • North Pegmatite (Historical Resource) with some existing drillhole data. Logs consist of simple geology logs but no assay vales.
  • South Pegmatite (High-grade grab sample)
  • o High-grade sample possibly pure Spodumene (100% Spodumene ~ 7% Li2O),
  • o A number of grab samples exceeding 2% Li2O

• New Pegmatite (South of South Pegmatite) with a 1.44% Grab sample.

Suggested options for expanding the Wisa Lake Project include;

  • Completion of detailed mapping of the geological and in particular mineralogical features of the exposed pegmatites similar to programs undertaken at Seymour Lake and Root Lake Projects.
  • Structural mapping and updated geometry interpretations updates for geometry to plan for future drilling programs.
  • Grab sampling of pegmatite on the shore of Vie Lake to determine if sufficiently fractionated for mineralisation.

Figure 46: Current mapping and sampling for the Wisa Lake project.

7.7.1 Exploration program

Previous exploration and mapping programs have identified surface expression of spodumene and tantalum bearing pegmatites with some geometry being defined by drilling for the north zone.

Figure 47: Sampled Wisa Lake pegmatites and potential granite source.

An opportunity exists with potential extensions of the south zone and new zones pegmatites that are currently unknown and possibly contain sub-surface extensions to the west similar to the north zone pegmatite. Tantalum zones have been interpreted to occur closer to the pegmatite's granite source (Figure 48), suggesting the source is further to the west.

Figure 48: Schematic representation of regional lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) rare-metal-bearing pegmatite zoning above a parental granite. After (Cerny, 1991b).

Previous mapping has not determined the extent and maybe only possible to determine geophysical surveys or future drilling programs.

Further contact mapping to determine pegmatite dip and direction will be required, then primary drillholes to confirm geometry and mineralisation at shallow depths to determine to the presence of mineralisation.

7.8 Wisa Lake SWOT Summary

Following is a summary of the Wisa Lake Project risks and recommendations presented as in a Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses and Threats (SWOT) format.

7.8.1 Strengths

  • Multiple pegmatite bodies mapped out at surface (Figure 46).
  • Drilling has intercepted three zones of pegmatite intrusion.
  • Available detailed geology maps.

7.8.2 Weakness

  • Minimal drilling (20 drillholes) with no assays in supplied database.
  • Historical resource (non-NI43-101 / JORC compliant) include a small tonnage and low lithia grade (330kt @ 1.15% Li2O).

• Original assay certificates and sample survey location methods are not currently avalaible.

7.8.3 Opportunities

  • North Zone pegmatite bodies may merge at depth.
  • Unnamed pegmatite west of the North Zone extends for 1.5km at surface. It is open at depth with a possible 4Mt per 100 metres of dip, assuming an average width of 10 metres.
  • South Zone is under-explored and contains high lithia grades at surface (>6% Li2O).
  • Potential to use recent development in surface item or vegetation removal processing of LiDAR data to identify further pegmatite outcrops.

7.8.4 Threats

  • Minimal data is available to calculate potential volumes for target zones.
  • All evidence indicates the pegmatites are less than 20m thick. The thickest recorded intersection of pegmatite in the drilling was 13m (true thickness unknown) that will require more planning to extract to reduce dilution and contamination in the future.

8 STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The proposed plan for GTM is to develop a plan to increase the immediate mineral resources and resource classification for the known pegmatites. This is most easily achieved at the Root Lake Project, where two partially defined spodumene pegmatites have been known and partially defined since the 1950s. This opportunity provides Green Technology with the lowest risk by defining, potentially extending, and increasing the resource confidence.

Further work is warranted for the initial development of the Wisa Lake Project where surface spodumene pegmatites are well mapped but sub-surface extents and geometry are yet to be determined. A minimal number of drillholes could be designed to first test spatial extents which could then be used to calculate a maiden resource to determine project viability.

Details of the priority targets and objectives for the initial programs have been outlined below.

8.1 Seymour Lake

Seymour Lake is the most Being technically developed with a JORC mineral resource located on the property which is potentially mineable based on the RPEEE optimisation. Seymour Lake's other opportunities are within areas such as extending the known Aubry mineralisation, either down dip or along selected strikes, or outside the limited number and depth of 'exploration' style drilling and sampling away from the Aubry pegmatites. Some exploration work beyond the GPR has been carried out and a significant number of pegmatite locations have been mapped with grab sampling being undertaken (Figure 49).

Figure 49: Location of high concentration lithium targets and classified pegmatites on the Seymour Lake Property (Jobin-Bevans, 2016).

While the majority of the sampling has indicated the surface expressions of the Lake Seymour pegmatites were weakly fractionated to barren, some extensions to known pegmatites (Pegmatite L +L South), and a new target (Pegmatite I) were identified and remain to be followed up with either more surface sampling or drilling (see Figure 50). It is currently unknown if the pegmatite fractionation at the surfaces increases with depth and whether there is an opportunity for this to be tested. Generally, it should be considered that pegmatites closer to the source granite will typically be less fractionated and therefore provide diminished prospectivity.

Figure 50: Location of pegmatite dykes examined/discovered during the reconnaissance mapping program on the Seymour Lake property.

Identified previous targets included (With Mining Plus comments);

  • South Aubry drilling down-dip and along strike to the southeast.
  • o There is currently insufficient drilling to close off the South Aubry pegmatite.
  • Central Aubry drilling down-dip towards Nth Aubry and along strike to the northwest.
  • o This has been tested with surface sampling suggesting that the spodumenebearing zones continue away from the currently drilled pegmatite.
  • North Aubry GPR prior to planning drill targets.
  • o Pegmatite continues at depth, and some reflector zones are visible to the north and northwest of the currently identified spodumene pegmatite.
  • Build a structural database from drill logs, acquire data from core if necessary/possible. Populate the database with ALL pegmatite intersections and mineral data
  • Trench, map and drill test credible GPR anomalies
  • Mapping around Pye to get it ready for drill assessment.
  • o Correlate to GPR reflectors

  • o Structural mapping to understand geometry
  • Regional mapping –not all areas shown in Figure 50.
  • Trial GPR on Seymour Lake project
  • o Trail GPR and follow-up pattern GPR was carried out on the Seymour Lake area.
  • o GPR reflectors were interpreted against known pegmatite units (Figure 51).

Figure 51: Aubry pegmatite with GPR interpretation points (showing points on pegmatite wireframe)

While GPR appears to work detecting contact surfaces of known units, it does however detect a number of reflectors that may or may not be target pegmatites. Detailed interpretation and correlation with known pegmatites from drilling data will be required in the future to fully utilise the GPR data.

8.2 Root Lake

The Root Lake Project presents a significant opportunity with identified spodumene pegmatite located on the property and with sufficient historical drilling and sampling to provide a clear understanding of potential widths and grades (Figure 52). The pegmatites remain open at depth in most directions, or very limited drilling that is going to require more to extend both along strike and at depth (Figure 53).

Previous drill planning has been undertaken with target zones being routinely identified but to date drilling has not been carried out.

Figure 52: McCombe and Consolidated Morrison (Root Lake Prospect) pegmatites and completed drilling.

Figure 53: Ardiden proposed drilling areas for Consolidated Morrison (Root Lake Prospect).

8.2.1 Root Bay

The eastern most Root Bay Prospect contains a known spodumene bearing outcrop but is limited to one sampled trench. Early indicators are that the pegmatite may contain economic lithia but the extent and geometry of the pegmatite remains to be defined.

8.3 Wisa Lake

The Wisa Lake Project is the least developed of the three properties with data limited to surface sampling, mapping, and a minor amount of drilling that could be used as an indicator of potential grades. Mapping and sampling has been carried out on three known spodumenebearing pegmatites with exposures of other pegmatites identified in the area but extremely little information on the sub-surface geometry is known as only the extreme east of the North Pegmatite has any completed drilling.

8.4 Planned exploration expenditure and targets

GTM is proposing to use an IPO to fund an exploration program designed to expand the number, size and confidence of known resources within the project areas. GTM has provided to Mining Plus their proposed exploration expenditure for the period following the capital raising ending September 2021.

The proposed programs include GTM technical staff for on ground work including further mapping and sampling, plus supervision of preliminary RC drilling, and follow-up diamond definition drilling of priority targets at Root Lake, Seymour Lake, and Wisa Lake. The proposed program is for a two-year program targeting initially Root Lake known targets for an increase in confidence and volume, Seymour Lake resource extensions, followed by exploration drilling at Wisa Lake. Each of the activities proposed is contingent upon the success of the preceding program. Assumptions for seasonal access and conditions have been provisionally accounted for in the proposed programs.

Provisions have also been made for ground works including clearing and survey's, metallurgical test work where required, and employment / engagement for first nation stakeholders.

These budgets include funds of \$135,000 from current cash at bank, in addition to the proceeds from the public offer.

Mining Plus considers that the proposed exploration budget is consistent with the mineral potential and status of the projects. The proposed expenditure is sufficient to meet the costs of the exploration programs proposed and to meet statutory tenement expenditure requirements.

Exploration targets have been generated by GTM based on current drilling and geological understanding based on recent interpretation and some historical interpretations by previous explorers. The zones were generated using implicit vein modelling utilising previous drillhole intercepts and geologically identified pegmatite where no intercepts have been assayed.

The following targets have been proposed by GTM;

  • Seymour Lake → 22 to 26 Mt @ 0.8 to 1.5% Li2O
  • Root Lake → 20 to 24 Mt @ 0.8 to 1.5% Li2O
  • Wisa Lake→ 8 to 10 Mt @ 0.8 to 1.5% Li2O

Mining Plus considered the proposed tonnages and grades within a reasonable range of possibility based on current geometry, extents and geochemistry. However, it should be considered that further complexity such as changes to pegmatite geometry either at depth or along strike, or currently unidentified geological units such as unmineralized intrusions, or unidentified subsurface structural features such as faults and/or shear zones may reduce the extent of the known pegmatites and subsequently reduce the overall tonnages of the pegmatite units

Likewise, changes to the geochemistry of the pegmatites either along strike or at depth may also reduce the contained Li2O to lower abundances or zonal changes where fractionation is less where elements such as Be or Ta become more abundant than Li2O.

9 RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The major opportunity for the three lithium projects is the potential exploration upside within a significant tenement holding that has a number of already defined surface targets. These have only recently been tested with modern exploration technology that includes laboratory testing to more accurately determine the economic potential of the spodumene pegmatites.

The development of lithium projects is well progressed in Canada, with a great abundance of geological interpretation, mapping, and experience to draw upon. Extensive mapping, sampling and interpretation has been completed at the Aubry pegmatite, and similar programs were underway at Root Lake. Although Wisa Lake hasn't received the same level of study, the pegmatites are well exposed in a number of locations and advancing this Project to the same level of study would be feasible in the near future.

The Green Technology Metals Ontario Lithium project will share many of the same risks that are inherent with any exploration and resource development project in any jurisdiction in the world. Most of these risks are out of the control of companies seeking to develop these projects and may include (but are not limited to):

  • Demand for products
  • Energy prices and availability
  • Workforce availability
  • Currency exchange rates
  • Availability of Project funding

Other risks can include

  • Geological and mineralogical complexities
  • Regulation and permitting delays
  • Changes to access and weather conditions

10 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Mining Plus believes the Ontario Lithium Project provides Green Technology Metals Ltd with a relatively diverse set of assets at different development stages that complement each other. From the Aubry resource that could be updated to a more detailed evaluation and the greenfield targets of Wisa Lake.

The Aubry resource is relatively robust with a mineral resource estimate completed by a recognised industry expert combined with a considerable geological knowledge base to draw upon to further develop the project. More detailed interpretation and estimation will be required for in-depth mining studies, but the project in the future but no material issues currently exist beyond those listed.

The Root Lake project stands as a partially developed project with known resources that will require increases in resource confidence to allow reporting.

The Wisa Lake is a relatively open greenfields project with several identified targets with spodumene-bearing samples already being assayed, showing promising results.

Sampling techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.

In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases
more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Seymour Lake

Previous sampling techniques have been reported by Ardiden Ltd and are as
follows;

Diamond drilling was used to obtain 1m samples (or close to 1m) which were
submitted to an accredited independent laboratory where the samples were
pulverised and analysed using sodium peroxide fusion followed by ICP
OES/ICP-MS.

All the core was oriented on a rack
with the long axis marked by the logging
geologist. The geologist then marked up the sample intervals at 1 m intervals
adjusted to significant lithological changes.
The core was then cut between
the sample marks along the axis line with a diamond saw.

The

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
Seymour Lake

The core was laid-out and re-assembled on racks where the recovered core
lengths were measured.

Core recovery was consistently close to 100% and always more
than 95%.

The pegmatite is solid and unaffected by shearing so core
recoveries are
generally excellent. The only mineral prone to
occasional poor recovery is
muscovite when large flakes are
oriented across the core. This preferential
core loss however is
very minor and does not significantly bias the sampling.

Seymour Lake

All the core was oriented on a rack with the long axis marked by the logging
geologist. The geologist then marked up the sample intervals at 1 m intervals
adjusted to significant lithological changes. The core was then cut between
the sample marks along the axis line with a diamond saw. One half of the core
was submitted for chemical analysis and the other half retained for future
reference.

The sampling method used, i.e. splitting the
core in half with a diamond saw,
is appropriate for the style of mineralisation and not prone to biasing the assay
results.

Certified reference materials (CRM's aka "standards"), blanks and field
duplicates were incorporated into every sample batch to ensure quality
control. The laboratory also included reference standards and duplicates in
every sample batch for their own quality assurance.

Sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled
in the core. The coarse crystal size
of the pegmatite minerals however could
mean that individual drilled intervals may be skewed, i.e. a large crystal being
intersected or just missed by the drill hole.

Samples were submitted to AGAT Laboratory in Thunder Bay, where they
were crushed, pulverised, digested by sodium peroxide fusion and assayed
by ICP-OES/MS for a broad suite of elements. Peroxide fusion is a total digest
method that results in complete dissolution of all elements of importance in
pegmatite-hosted mineralisation and results in the most reliable assay results.

The QA/QC procedures adopted by Ardiden and the laboratory, i.e. standards,
blanks and duplicates, confirmed that the results are both reliable and
accurate with no bias detected.

Geological interpretation
Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological
interpretation of the mineral deposit.

Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made.

The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral
Resource estimation.

The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral
Resource estimation.

The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology.
Seymour Lake

The lithium mineralisation modelled and included in the reported resource estimate is
hosted by well-defined pegmatites drilled on a grid. The geological interpretation of
these pegmatites is considered robust and suitable for resource modelling.

The geological interpretation is based on drill intersections and surface mapping.

There is no other reasonable geological interpretation.

The modelled mineralisation is confined by wireframes generated from the pegmatite
logged in the drilling and surface mapping.

The pegmatites are probably mostly confined by a pillowed basalt unit.
Dimensions
The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed
as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth
below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral
Resource
Seymour Lake

The modelled North Aubry pegmatite has a strike length of approximately 250 m,
extends down dip at ~40 degrees for over 500 m to a vertical depth of 230 m. The
pegmatite varies in width generally between 10 –
20 m but up to over 40 m. The
modelled South Aubry pegmatite has a strike length of approximately 450 m, extends
down dip at ~30 degrees for over 120 m to a vertical depth of 120 m. The pegmatite
varies in width generally between 5 –
20 m.

In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in
relation to the average sample spacing and the search

Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units.

Any assumptions about correlation between variables

Description of how the geological interpretation was used to
control the resource estimates.

Discussion of basis for using or not using grade cutting or
capping.

The process of validation, the checking process used, the
comparison of model data to drillhole data, and use of
reconciliation data if available.

The resource modelling was done with MineMap © software by interpolating grades
into a digital block model using an Inverse Distance Cubed (ID3) algorithm confined by
wireframing of the individual pegmatites with 50m search radii along and across strike
and 2.5m vertically. The resource does not extend down-dip further than the drilling.

The resource modelling was checked using different search parameters and distance
weighting and found to be robust.

Ta2O5 is included in the resource estimate as it has potential as a commercial by
product. No assumptions have been made with regards to recoveries as there have
been no metallurgical studies on its recoveries.

Metallurgical tests to date indicate that the spodumene concentrate will not include
significant amounts of deleterious elements. Any mine waste is expected to be benign.

The resource model block size is appropriate for the drill hole spacing and allows a tight
fit within the pegmatite wireframes.

No selective mining units were modelled.

There are no assumed variable correlations.

All the grades in the resource model are interpolated within the individual pegmatite
wireframes.

No high grades were cut for this resource estimate since there were no extreme outliers
in either the Li2O% or Ta2O5 ppm grades. Cutting the high Li2O or Ta2O5 grades has
no significant effect to the modelling.

The resource model was compared visually with the drilling grades on cross-sections
colour coded by grade and found to compare very well.

There is no mine production to reconcile with.
Moisture
Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with
natural moisture, and the method of determination of the
moisture content.
Seymour Lake

All tonnes and grades are on a dry basis.
Cut-off parameters
The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters
applied
Seymour Lake

The resource modelling was confined by the pegmatite wireframes;
no lower cut-off
grade was used. The pegmatite would be easy to distinguish visually during mining and
the Li2O grade variable so using a grade cut-off was considered to be inappropriate.
Mining factors or assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods,
minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable,
external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but
the assumptions made regarding mining methods and
parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not
always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be
reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining
assumptions made.
Seymour Lake

No mining factors were considered for the resource estimate although it was assumed
that it is most likely that if the deposit is eventually mined it will be mined using the open
pit mining method.

factors
or

Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process
residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction to consider the potential environmental
impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this
stage the determination of potential environmental impacts,
particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well
advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential
environmental impacts should be reported. Where these
aspects have not been considered this should be reported with
an explanation of the environmental assumptions made
Seymour Lake

No environmental factors were considered however the tenement has sufficient suitable
area to accommodate a small mining and processing operation including provision for
waste disposal.
There are no obvious,
especially environmentally sensitive areas in the vicinity of the
deposit,
although the usual impact studies and government environmental laws and
regulations will need to be complied with.
Bulk density
Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the
assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or
dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and
representativeness of the samples.

The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured
by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs,
porosity, etc), moisture and differences between rock and
alteration zones within the deposit,

Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the
evaluation process of the different materials.

rocks.
All the Ardiden drilling samples, after crushing and pulverising, had their specific gravity measured by AGAT
using a pycnometer (method# 201-049). In all a total of 369 pegmatite samples were measured with an
average SG of 2.78. This SG of 2.78 was used to convert pegmatite volumes to tonnes in the resource
modelling. An SG of 3.0, the average of the measured SGs outside the pegmatites, was used for the country

Classification
The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into
varying confidence categories

Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant
factors (i.e. relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations,
reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and
metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data).

Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent
Person's view of the deposit.
Seymour Lake

The Mineral Resources are classified by the author as Indicated and Inferred based on
the spacing and distribution of the drilling, reliability of the geological interpretation and
the quality of the data used in the estimation.

The author believes that this classification to be appropriate.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource
estimates.
Seymour Lake

Mining Plus has undertaken a review of the 2018 MRE by Phil Jones. In Mining Plus's
opinion,
there are no material errors with only minor adjustments recommends for any
future updates.
Discussion
of
relative
accuracy/confidence

Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and
confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an
approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent
Person. For example, the application of statistical or
geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of
the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an
approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion
of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and
confidence of the estimate

The statement should specify whether it relates to global or
local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages,
which should be relevant to technical and economic
evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made
and the procedures used

These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the
estimate should be compared with production data, where
available
Seymour Lake

The resource estimates are based on robust models that are in turn based on reliable
data and geological interpretations. The JORC Code (2012) resource classifications
applied to the estimates properly infer the accuracy of the resource estimates.

All quoted estimates are global for the deposit.

No mine production has been recorded at the deposit.
