ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

LITHIUM AUSTRALIA COMPLETES THE BONUS ISSUE

Lithium Australia NL (ASX: LIT) confirms completion of the issue of the 1-for-2 bonus partly paid shares ( Bonus Issue ) at a total issue price of $0.25 each and which are deemed to be paid up to $0.0001 each ( Bonus Issue Shares (with ASX designation of LITAQ)). The Bonus Issue Shares were issued to those shareholders registered on the Record Date. The mail–out of the relevant statements will occur from this Friday.

LIT, as a No Liability company , has proven with its previous bonus issue of $0.05 partly paid shares (currently LITCC - partly paid shares, paid to $0.021 and unpaid $0.029) that this equity financing structure has benefitted both the Company and its partly paid shareholders. LIT has undertaken this Bonus Issue as a reward to its shareholders, as well as to provide the Company with an alternate source of funding into the future.

LIT advises that the Bonus Issue Shares will not be listed on the ASX. After such time as the LITCC series has all been fully called, or fully paid up, currently expected to occur by November 2016 at the latest, LIT can then seek to list another series of partly paid shares. At this future point in time LIT will assess whether to apply for quotation of the LITAQ’s, subject to the ASX Listing Rules.

Should all of the remaining 6 LITCC holders elect to pay the amount outstanding on the remaining 163,864 LITCC shares in full prior to this time and thereby convert their LITCC partly paid shares to LIT fully paid ordinary shares then LIT will immediately review whether to make application to ASX to list the LITAQ’s.

LIT will keep its shareholders informed as to the progress of the remaining LITCC conversions.
