Lithium Ionic Corp.

Lithium Ionic is a near-term producer of high-quality, low-cost lithium concentrate in Brazil's "Lithium Valley", a region of global significance for hard-rock lithium production. Our claims span 14,182-hectares in the northeastern part of Minas Gerais state, a mining-friendly jurisdiction where +300 mines operate. In May 2024, a Feasibility Study on the Bandeira lithium deposit demonstrated a 14-year, low-cost mining operation producing 178,000tpa of high-quality spodumene concentrate (5.5% Li2O), resulting in a post-tax NPV8 of US$1.3B and an IRR of 40%. Lithium Ionic is focused on generating significant value for its stakeholders by accelerating its highly scalable Bandeira towards production and supporting the global EV and battery supply chains.

"The main highlight of new drill results at Lithium Ionic Corp.'s Bandeira lithium project was an impressive 64.7m grading 1.39% Li2O, including 22m at 1.67% Li2O and 20m at 1.62% Li2O. This represents the thickest mineralized zone encountered at Bandeira to date."

Greg Jones, BMO Capital Markets

(10/8/24)
"Lithium Ionic Corp. is one of our preferred lithium developers. . .the company has the potential to be first to production amongst developers under our coverage. In addition, Lithium Ionic has a large underexplored land package with the potential to further grow the current resource base."

Greg Jones, BMO Capital Markets

(9/10/24)
"Lithium Ionic Corp. has received approval of the final exploration reports for its Bandeira and Outro Lado properties from Brazil's National Mining Agency. With this approval, the company has now submitted the mining concession application and the economic viability study."

Frederic Tremblay, Desjardins Securities

(8/15/24)
"We view the Pilbara-Latin transaction as positive for Lithium Ionic Corp. Not only does it shed light on the company's deeply depressed valuation and on the potential to unlock value through transactions, but it also confirms that Brazil is an attractive jurisdiction for future lithium production."

Greg Jones, BMO Capital Markets

(8/12/24)
"Lithium Ionic Corp. announced several recent transactions: 1) the sale of a 2.25% life-of-mine gross revenue royalty on Bandeira to Appian Capital Advisory for US$20M in cash, 2) the acquisition of the 15% stake in Salinas the company did not own and 3) a CA$15M private placement. . .we believe there is near-term opportunity for Lithium Ionic to rerate towards the peer multiple, which would imply about a 50% share price uplift."

Frederic Tremblay, Desjardins

(5/29/24)
"With Lithium Ionic Corp.'s balance sheet currently tight (latest available cash-on-hand position of about CA$10M), we see potential for the release of the feasibility study to open up/accelerate opportunities to enhance the company's financial position. . .we view the valuation of Lithium Ionic as compelling, especially considering its quick path to production, low costs, proximity to producers and infrastructure, and further resource growth potential."
