LAKE RESOURCES N.L. QUARTERLY REPORT ENDING 30 JUNE 2020

Lake Resources NL (ASX:LKE OTC:LLKKF) is a lithium developer utilising clean, direct extraction technology for the development of sustainable, high purity lithium products from its flagship Kachi Project (4.4mt LCE resource), as well as three other lithium brine projects in Argentina. The projects are in a prime location within the Lithium Triangle, where 40% of the world’s lithium is produced at the lowest cost. Lake owns over 200,000 hectares (0.5 million acres) of leases, including one hard rock project, alongside all 5 major lithium producers.

This efficient, disruptive direct lithium extraction method (DLE) from our technology partner, Lilac Solutions will enable Lake Resources to be an efficient, responsibly-sourced, environmentally friendly and cost competitive supplier of high-purity lithium carbonate. High purity sustainable lithium is in demand byTier 1 electric vehicle makers and battery makers. Lilac Solutions technology gained the investment support of major investors in February 2020. Pilot plant modules are operating at the Lilac facility in California USA using brines from Lake’s Kachi Lithium Brine Project and produce lithium chloride for conversion into lithium carbonate for potential offtake partners

High purity battery quality lithium carbonate (99.9% purity) with very low impurities has been produced from lithium brines from Lake’s Kachi project (refer ASX announcement 9 January 2020). The growth of higher density batteries to drive the latest electric vehicles has significantly increased demand for a high purity product with low impurities, and the Lilac DLE process delivers this consistently which will command a premium price. Larger volume samples will be delivered in Q3 2020 to a number of downstream participants for customer qualification purposes.

The environmental footprint of Lilac’s DLE is far smaller than conventional brine evaporation processes or hard rock mining. By using an adaptation of a known,benign water treatment process to produce lithium, Lake avoids any mining and returns virtually all water (brine) to its source without changing its chemistry, apart from lithium removal. This is a better outcome for local communities and for the environment.

The Kachi Lithium Brine Project covers 70,000 ha over a salt lake south of Livent’s lithium operation in Argentina with a large indicated and inferred resource of 4.4 Mt LCE (Indicated 1.0Mt, Inferred 3.4Mt) (refer ASX announcement 27 November 2018). A robust and compelling pre-feasibility study (PFS) by a tier 1 engineering firm was delivered over the Kachi Project (refer ASX announcement 28 April 2020).. A long-life, low cost potential operation was demonstrated with annual production target of 25,500 tpa of battery quality lithium carbonate by direct extraction. The PFS showed the technology is cost competitive with other lithium brine projects but also showed the advantage of producing a premium product generating high operating (EBITDA) margins using conservative price forecasts.

OPERATIONS

Kachi Lithium Brine Project - Catamarca Province, Argentina

Summary

Lake Resources’ 100%-owned Kachi Lithium Brine Project in Catamarca province, NW Argentina, covers 37 mining leases (70,400 hectares), centred around a previously undrilled salt lake within a large lithium brinebearing basin. Kachi is one of the few salt lakes in Argentina with substantial identified lithium brines fully controlled by a single owner. The project is located at ~3000 m altitude, south of Livent’s (FMC) Hombre Muerto Lithium brine operation (NYSE:LTHM) which is Argentina’s longest operating lithium brine project.

Lake aims to bring the project towards production by using the efficient, disruptive and low cost direct extraction technology from our partner, Lilac Solutions, in California. Brine samples from site are being processed at Lilac’s pilot plant module and high purity (99.9%) battery quality lithium carbonate has been produced.

Figure 1: Location of Lake projects in NW Argentina.

The pilot plant module in California is successfully producing highly concentrated lithium chloride for conversion into battery quality lithium carbonate for distribution to potential off-takers in Q3, 2020. COVID-19 impacts have slowed the process somewhat.

A compelling Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) was completed for the Kachi Project to produce sustainable, high purity, low impurity lithium carbonate to attract premium pricing. A long-life (25 years), low cost operation was demonstrated with annual production target of 25,500 tonnes of battery grade lithium carbonate by direct extraction using Lilac’s technology, based on the Indicated Resource of 1.0 million tonnes LCE at 290 mg/L lithium (22% of current total resource). The study focused on the engineering and costing of preferred process design options supported by direct lithium extraction test work by Lilac Solutions, with Hatch appointed to provide engineering and design services.

A post-tax NPV8 of US$748 million (A$1,180m) and IRR of 22% was generated in the PFS. A high margin operation was shown with an EBITDA of US$155 million (A$245m) in first full year of production, and an operating margin of 62%, using forecast of US$11,000/t Li2CO3 CIF Asia. A competitive capital cost (capex) estimate of US$544 million was estimated, including contingency, and operating cost (opex) of US$4178/tonne Li2CO3.

The PFS only consumes 20% of the total JORC mineral resource over 25 years of operation. Substantial upside exists to extend the resource at depth and laterally with further drilling (see ASX announcement with resource statement 27 November 2018).

Next steps for the Kachi Project involve delivering product samples from the pilot plant to potential off-takers, targeting lower up-front costs, and further resource development to extend project life. Financing and offtake discussions continue.

Significantly, Lilac’s DLE offers a sustainable solution for Lake Resources. The technology is environmentally friendly, as the salty water (brine) is reinjected into the aquifer once the lithium has been removed, without adjusting its chemistry or adding any reagents. Traditional evaporation ponds are not required. No mining is involved. This offers an responsibly sourced, ethical, sustainable solution for an industry at the forefront of the global clean energy revolution.

Cauchari and Olaroz Lithium Brine Projects - Jujuy Province, Argentina

Lake holds mining leases over ~45,000 hectares in two areas in Jujuy Province in NW Argentina, both 100% owned by Lake. First drilling occurred in early 2019 at Lake’s 100% owned Cauchari Lithium Brine Project. Confirmation of multiple high-grade lithium brines over 506m interval (102m to 608m depth) was demonstrated in results returned in late August 2019. This drilling confirmed similar grades and lithium brines extending into Lake’s properties from the adjoining Ganfeng/ Lithium Americas Cauchari project (NYSE:LAC) which is rapidly progressing to production in late 2020 at 40,000tpa LCE. The high-grade results averaged* 493 mg/L lithium over 343m (from 117m to 460m), up to 540 mg/L, with a Li/Mg ratio of 2.9.

At Olaroz, which is north of Cauchari, Lake’s leases extend over 30 kilometres east and north of the adjoining Orocobre’s Olaroz lithium production leases. Drilling is anticipated when all planned holes are approved.

APPENDIX 1 - JORC Code, 2012 Edition

JORC Table 1 Report: Kachi Lithium Brine Project

Criteria	Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data
Sampling techniques	• Brine samples were taken from the diamond drill hole with a bottom of hole spear point during advance and using a straddle packer device to obtain representative samples of the formation fluid by purging a volume of fluid from the isolated interval, to minimize the possibility of contamination by drilling fluid then taking the sample. Low pressure airlift tests are used as well. The fluid used for drilling is brine sourced from the drill hole and the return from drillhole passes back into the excavator dug pit lined to avoid leakage. • The brine sample was collected in a clean plastic bottle (1 litre) and filled to the top to minimize air space within the bottle. A duplicate was collected at the same time for storage and submission of duplicates to the laboratory. Each bottle was taped and marked with the sample number. • Drill core in the hole was recovered in 1.5 m length core runs in core split tubes to minimize sample disturbance. • Drill core was undertaken to obtain representative samples of the sediments that host brine.
Drilling techniques	• Diamond drilling with an internal (triple) tube was used for drilling. The drilling produced cores with variable core recovery, associated with unconsolidated material, in particularly sandy intervals. Recovery of these more friable sediments is more difficult with diamond drilling, as this material can be washed from the core barrel during drilling. • Rotary drilling has used 8.5” or 10” tricone bits and has produced drill chips. • Brine has been used as drillingfluid for lubrication duringdrilling.
Drill sample recovery	• Diamond drill core was recovered in 1.5m length intervals in the drilling triple (split) tubes. Appropriate additives were used for hole stability to maximize core recovery. The core recoveries were measured from the cores and compared to the length of each run to calculate the recovery. Chip samples are collected for each metre drilled and stored in segmented plastic boxes for rotary drill holes. • Brine samples were collected at discrete depths during the drilling using a double packer over a 1 m interval (to isolate intervals of the sediments and obtain samples from airlifting brine from the sediments within the packer). • As the brine (mineralisation) samples are taken from inflows of the brine into the hole (and not from the drill core – which has variable recovery) they are largely independent of the quality (recovery) of the core samples. However, the permeability of the lithologies where samples are taken is related to the rate andpotentiallylithiumgrade of brine inflows.
Logging	• Sand, clay, silt, salt and cemented rock types was recovered in a triple tube diamond core drill tube, or as chip samples from rotary drill holes, and examined for geologic logging by a geologist and a photo taken for reference. • Diamond holes are logged by a senior geologist who also supervised taking of samples for laboratory porosity analysis as well as additional physical property testing. • Logging is both qualitative and quantitative in nature. The relative proportions of different lithologies which have a direct bearing on the overall porosity, contained and potentially extractable brine are noted, as are more qualitative characteristics such as the sedimentary facies and their relationships. When cores are split for samplingtheyarephotographed.

	LKE Qtr Rpt End June 2020
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	• Brine samples were collected by packer and spear sampling methods, over a metre. Low pressure airlift tests are used as well to purge test interval and gauge potential yields. • The brine sample was collected in one-litre sample bottles, rinsed and filled with brine. Each bottle was taped and marked with the sample number.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests	• The Alex Stewart Argentina/Nor lab SA in Palpala, Jujuy, Argentina, is used as the primary laboratory to conduct the assaying of the brine samples collected as part of the sampling program. The SGS laboratory in Buenos Aires has also been used for both primary and check samples. They also analysed blind control samples and duplicates in the analysis chain. • The Alex Stewart/Norlab SA laboratory and the SGS laboratory are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, and are specialized in the chemical analysis of brines and inorganic salts, with experience in this field. This includes the oversight of the experienced Alex Stewart Argentina S.A. laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina, which has been operating for a considerable period. • The quality control and analytical procedures used at the Alex Stewart/Norlab SA laboratory or SGS laboratory are considered to be of high quality and comparable to those employed by ISO certified laboratories specializingin analysis of brines and inorganic salts.
Verification of sampling and assaying	• Field duplicates, standards and blanks will be used to monitor potential contamination of samples and the repeatability of analyses. Accuracy, the closeness of measurements to the “true” or accepted value, will be monitored by the insertion of standards, or reference samples, and by check analysis at an independent (or umpire) laboratory. • Duplicate samples in the analysis chain were submitted to Alex Stewart/Norlab SA or SGS laboratories as unique samples (blind duplicates) during the process • Stable blank samples (distilled water) were used to evaluate potential sample contamination and will be inserted in future to measure any potential cross contamination • Samples were analysed for conductivity using a hand-held Hanna pH/EC multiprobe. • Regular calibration usingstandard buffers is beingundertaken.
Location of data points	• The diamond drill hole sample sites and rotary drill hole sites were located with a hand-held GPS. • The properties are located at the junction of the Argentine POSGAR grid system Zone 2 and Zone 3 (UTM 19)and in WGS84 Zone 19 south.
Data spacing and distribution	• Brine samples were collected over 1m intervals every 6 m intervals within brine producing aquifers, where this waspossible.
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure	• The salt lake (salar) deposits that contain lithium-bearing brines generally have sub-horizontal beds and lenses that contain sand, gravel, salt, silt and clay. The vertical diamond drill holes will provide a better understandingof the stratigraphyand the nature of the sub-surface brine bearingaquifers
Sample security	• Samples were transported to the Alex Stewart/Norlab SA laboratory or SGS laboratory for chemical analysis in sealed 1-litre rigid plastic bottles with sample numbers clearly identified. Samples were transported by a trusted member of the team. • The samples were moved from the drillhole sample site to secure storage at the camp on a daily basis. All brine sample bottles sent to the laboratory are marked with a unique label unrelated to location.
Review (and Audit)	• No audit of data has been conducted to date. However, the CP has been onsite periodically during the programme. The review included drilling practice, geological logging, sampling methodologies for water quality analysis and, physical property testing from drill core, QA/QC control measures and data management. Thepractices beingundertaken were ascertained to be appropriate.
Criteria	Section 2 - Mineral Tenement and Land Tenure Status
Mineral tenement and land tenure status	• The Kachi Lithium Brine project is located approximately 100km south-southwest of Livent’ (FMC’s) Hombre Muerto lithium operation and 45km south of Antofagasta de la Sierra in Catamarca province of north western Argentina at an elevation of approximately 3,000m asl. • The project comprises approximately 70,462 Ha in thirty seven mineral leases (minas) of which five leases (9,445 Ha) are granted for drilling, twenty two leases are granted for initial exploration (44,328 Ha) and ten leases (16,689 Ha) are applications pending granting. • The tenements are believed to be in good standing, with statutory payments completed to relevant government departments.
Exploration by other parties	• Marifil Mines Ltd conducted sparse near-surface pit sampling of groundwater at depths less than 1m during 2009. • Samples were taken from each hole and analysed at Alex Stewart laboratories in Mendoza Argentina. • Results were reported in an NI 43-101 report by J. Ebisch in December 2009 for Marifil Mines Ltd. • NRG Metals Inc commenced exploration in adjacent leases under option. Two diamond drillholes intersected lithium bearingbrines. The initial drillhole intersected brines from 172-198m and below

Criteria	Section 3 – Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources
Database integrity	• Data was transferred directly from laboratory spreadsheets to the database. • Data was checked for transcription errors once in the database to ensure coordinates, assay values, and lithological codes were correct • Data was plotted to check the spatial location and relationship to adjoining sample points • Duplicates and standards have been used in the assay process • Brine assays and porosity test work have been analysed and compared with other publicly available information for reasonableness • Comparison of original and current datasets were made to ensure no lack of integrity
Site visits	• The Competent Person visited the site multiple times during the drilling and sampling program • Some improvements toprocedures were made duringvisits bythe Competent Person
Geological Interpretation	• The geological model is continuing to develop. There is a high level of confidence in the interpretation of the exploration results to date. There are relatively consistent geological units with relatively uniform clastic sediments • Any alternative interpretations are restricted to smaller scale variations in sedimentology, related to changes in grain size and fine material in units • Data used in the interpretation includes rotary and diamond drilling methods • Drilling depths and geology encountered has been used to conceptualise hydro-stratigraphy • Sedimentary processes affect the continuity of geology, whereas the concentration of lithium and potassium and other elements in the brine is related to water inflows, evaporation and brine evolution in the Salt Lake.
Dimensions	• The lateral extent of the resource has been defined by the boundary of the Company’s properties. The brine mineralisation subsequently covers 175 km2 • The top of the model coincides with the topography obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The original elevations were locally adjusted for each borehole collar with the most accurate coordinates available. The base of the resource is limited to a 400 m depth. The basement rocks underlying the Salt Lake sediments have been intercepted in drilling • The resource is defined to a depth of 400 m below surface, with the exploration target immediately extendingbeyond the aerial extent of the resource
Estimation and modelling techniques	• No grade cutting or capping was applied to the model • No assumptions were made about correlation between variables. Lithium andpotassium were

	estimated independently • The geological interpretation was used to define each geological unit and the property limit was used to enclose the reported resources.
Moisture	• Moisture content of the cores was not Measured (porosity and density measurements were made), but as brine will be extracted by pumping not mining this is not relevant for the resource estimation. • Tonnages are estimated as elemental lithium andpotassium dissolved in brine.
Cut-off parameters	• No cut-off grade has been applied
Mining factors or assumptions	• The resource has been quoted in terms of brine volume, concentration of dissolved elements, contained lithium and potassium and their products lithium carbonate and potassium chloride. • No mining or recovery factors have been applied although the use of the specific yield (drainable porosity) is used to reflect the reasonable prospects for economic extraction with the proposed mining methodology. (Recoveries of 83% lithium have been used in the PFS for the direct processing method) • Dilution of brine concentrations may occur over time and typically there are lithium and potassium losses in both the storage ponds and processing plant in brine extraction operations. However, potential dilution will be estimated in the groundwater model simulating brine extraction. • The conceptual mining method is recovering brine from the Salt Lake via a network of wells, the established practice on existing lithium and potash brine projects. • Detailed hydrological studies of the lake are being undertaken (groundwater modelling) to define the extractable resources andpotential extraction rates.
Metallurgical factors or assumptions	• Lithium carbonate is targeted as the commercial product • It would be obtained by the brines being subjected to direct lithium extraction (ionic exchange and reverse osmosis) to produce a high grade LiCl eluate (30,000 to 60,000 mg/L lithium), which is processed in a conventional lithium carbonate plant by reaction with sodium carbonate: LiCl + Na2CO3 Li2CO3+ NaCl • Process work has been undertaken by Lilac Solutions, which is an expert laboratory in the treatment of brines by ion exchange. • Bench tests include short and long-term tests using ion exchange media and brine from Kachi to establish recovery, reagent consumption, and engineering parameters used in the PFS • Analyses of solutions by ICP and includes the use of standards • The longevity of the ion exchange media has been tested over 1000 cycles, or six months • Lithium carbonate of high purity and low impurities has been produced which can be considered equivalent to metallurgical test work) is being carried out on the brine following initial test work. • Pilotplant module test-work has commenced usingKachi brine.
Environmental factors as assumptions	• Impacts of a lithium operation at the Kachi project would include surface disturbance from the installation of extraction/processing facilities and associated infrastructure, accumulation of various salt tailings impoundments and extraction from brine and fresh water aquifers regionally • Environmental management plan for the protection of wetlands, salt lakes, and surrounds • Consultation with communities in the area of influence of the project • Environmental impact analysis on-going
Bulk density	• Density measurements were taken as part of the drill core assessment. This included determining dry density and particle density as well as field measurements of brine density. Note that no mining is to be carried out as brine is to be extracted by pumping and consequently sediments are not mined • No bulk densitywas applied to the estimates because resources are defined byvolume,rather than bytonnage
Classification	• The resource has been classified into the two possible resource categories based on confidence in the estimation. • A Measured resource would reflect higher density drilling, with porosity samples from drill cores and well constrained vertical brine sampling in the holes. • The Indicated resource reflects the higher confidence in the brine sampling in the rotary drilling and lower quality geological control from the drill cuttings. • The Inferred resource underlying the Measured and/or Indicated resource reflects the limited drilling to this depth together with the geophysics through the property • In the view of the Competent Person the resource classification is believed to adequately reflect the available data and is consistent with the suggestions of Houston et. al.,2011
Audits or reviews	• The Mineral Resource was estimated by the Competent Person.
Discussion of relative _accuracy/ confidence _	• An independent estimate of the resource was completed using a nearest neighbour estimate and the comparison of the results with the ordinarykrigingestimate is below 0.3% for measured resources

and below 3% for indicated resources which is considered to be acceptable.

• Univariate statistics for global estimation bias, visual inspection against samples on plans and sections, swath plots in the north, south and vertical directions to detect any spatial bias shows a good agreement between the samples and the ordinary kriging estimates.

About Lake Resources NL (ASX:LKE OTC:LLKKF ) - Cleaner high purity lithium using efficient disruptive clean technology

Lake Resources NL (ASX:LKE, OTC: LLKKF) is a clean lithium developer utilising clean, direct extraction technology for the development of sustainable, high purity lithium from its flagship Kachi Project, as well as three other lithium brine projects in Argentina. The projects are in a prime location within the Lithium Triangle, where 40% of the world’s lithium is produced at the lowest cost.

This method will enable Lake Resources to be an efficient, responsibly-sourced, environmentally friendly and cost competitive supplier of high-purity lithium, which is readily scalable, and in demand from Tier 1 electric vehicle makers and battery makers.

1. Clean-Tech : Efficient, disruptive clean technology to produce sustainable high purity lithium, with a smaller environmental footprint, in demand by Tier1 EV makers and battery makers. This is a cost-competitive technology provided by our partner in California, Lilac Solutions, who have received the backing of the Bill Gates-led Breakthrough energy fund and MIT’s The Engine fund.

2. High Purity: High Purity Lithium Carbonate samples (99.9%) with very low impurities has been produced from lithium brines from Lake’s flagship project (refer ASX announcement 9 January 2020). The growth of higher density batteries to drive the latest electric vehicles has significantly increased demand for a high purity product with low impurities, and the process delivers this consistently for a premium price.

3 . Prime Location, Large Projects : Lake’s projects are located in the Lithium Triangle, in Argentina, the prime location globally for low cost lithium production from large projects. The Kachi project covers 70,000 ha over a salt lake south of Livent’s lithium operation with a large indicated and inferred resource of 4.4 Mt LCE (Indicated 1.0Mt, Inferred 3.4Mt) (refer ASX announcement 27 November 2018). A pre-feasibility study (PFS) by a tier 1 engineering firm over Kachi shows a large, long-life low-cost potential operation with competitive production costs at the lower end of the cost curve similar to current lithium brine producers (refer ASX announcement 28 April 2020).

1. Sustainable ESG Benefit : The environmental footprint is far smaller than conventional brine evaporation processes or of hard rock mining. By using a benign water treatment process to produce lithium, Lake avoids any mining and returns virtually all water (brine) to its source without changing its chemistry (apart from lithium removal). This avoids the “water politics” in arid environments and is a better outcome for local communities. Tier 1 electric vehicle makers and Tier 1 battery makers have been seeking more sustainable, responsibly sourced materials in their supply chain which has driven demand for our products.

An innovative direct extraction technique, based on a well-used ion exchange water treatment method, has been tested for over 18 months in partnership with Lilac Solutions, with a pilot plant module operating on Kachi brines and has shown 80-90% recoveries. Battery grade lithium carbonate (99.9% purity) has been produced from Kachi brine samples with very low impurities (Fe, B, with <0.001 wt%) (refer ASX announcement 9 January 2020). Test results were incorporated into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS). The Lilac pilot plant module in California is producing samples for downstream participants. A pilot plant on site is planned to produce larger battery quality lithium samples. Discussions are advanced with downstream entities, as well as financiers, to develop the project.

On 3 July 2020, Lake Resources announced that the first samples of lithium chloride had been successfully produced from Lilac Solution’s direct extraction pilot plant module, supporting the scale-up from previously successful lab-scale work. In the coming weeks, lithium carbonate samples will be available for downstream supply chain participants and off-takers. The sector continues to see positive news around demand and issues have been highlighted with a pending shortfall of supply of clean battery quality lithium.

Lake’s other projects include the Olaroz and Cauchari brine projects, located adjacent to major world class brine projects in production or construction, including Orocobre’s Olaroz lithium production and adjoins the impending production of Ganfeng Lithium/Lithium Americas’ Cauchari project. Lake’s Cauchari project has shown lithium brines over 506m interval with high grades averaging 493 mg/L lithium (117-460m) with up to 540 mg/L lithium. These results are similar to lithium brines in adjoining leases and infer an extension and continuity of these brines into Lake’s leases (refer ASX announcements 28 May, 12 June 2019).
