experience will be important for Keliber going forward."

Nordic Mining is the largest shareholder in Keliber with approximately 25%. In

March 2016, Keliber concluded a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") for its lithium

project. A preliminary net present value of EUR 97 million has been estimated

based on an annual production of 9,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate and an 8%

discount rate. The estimated payback period is approximately 4 years.

The price development for lithium over the last months and the expectations

going forward, have boosted international investor interests and market values

for developing lithium companies. The current market prices for lithium

carbonate have significantly outperformed the price assumptions in Keliber's the

PFS.

"The current dynamics of the international lithium industry calls for an active

ownership approach. Consequently, the shareholders of Keliber are evaluating

strategies to visualise shareholder values and position the company for the

expected market growth," says Ivar S. Fossum.
