Material Facts

There are no material facts about the securities being distributed that have not been disclosed in this offering document or in any other document filed by the Company in the 12 months preceding the date of this offering document.

The most recent financial statements of the Company included a going-concern note. Management is aware, in making its going concern assessment, of recurring losses, on-going negative cash flow and an ongoing dependence on financing activities that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not

yet determined whether the properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and resources, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in its properties, making the required payments pursuant to mineral property option agreements and/or securing additional financing; all of which are uncertain.

What are the business objectives that we expect to accomplish using the available funds?

The net proceeds of the offering will be for the following business objectives over the next 12 months:

  • Complete Phase 2 drilling at the Company’s Willcox Arizona Lithium Property.

  • Evaluate and acquire new resource projects.
