Developments

ILC has secured the means to advance the exploration on the properties

now co-owned with GFL

We have aligned ILC with a company that has the capabilities and

technologies to extract and process Lithium into a high value product that

is in high demand

This will provide significant savings through the feasibility and project

CAPEX phases, essentially relieving ILC of significant process metallurgy

costs, external consulting fees and market studies

Page 17

In January of this year ILC installed two weather stations and one

evaporation monitoring system to begin environmental baseline studies.

Completed first short-term pump test. Drilling of the wells identified two

aquifers totalling 94 metres in thickness within 120 metres of surface.

Pump test results indicate the aquifers have a high transmissitivity value

(>1000m² /day) and are capable of producing at a high flow rate (350m3/hr

97 L/sec).

Rubidium is used in photo cells and fibre optic applications. Night

vision and medical imaging devices are some products utilizing the

photoemissive properties of rubidium.

Prices for pure rubidium range between $1000 -$1200 per 100g.

** News Release dated January 12, 2012.

The true width of the pegmatite intersection has not been determined and no

inference to that effect has been made.

Historic Drill Results:

Avalonia Rare Metal Project

8 Prospecting Licenses(totalling 292 km2 )

19 significant lithium pegmatite occurrences discovered in the 1970’s. 20 metre wide pegmatite delineated at Aclare House and a historical resource estimate of

570,000 tonnes grading 1.5% Li2O was reported by previous operators in the 1970’s.****** The historical resource estimate was completed prior to the implementation of NI43-101 and does not conform to any resource category as defined

by the CIM Standards and Definitions for mineral resources and reserve estimates. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to verify the

information regarding the historical resource estimate and therefore the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the

historical estimate should not be relied upon. Details regarding the historical estimate can be found in the issuer’s news release dated January 31, 2012.

*Moylisha 2013 Drilling Confirmed Historical Results and Identified Unexposed Mineralization

*News Release dated June 25, 2013.

•Pegmatite intersected at Aclare

containing 2.23% Li2O over 23.3m

including 3.43% Li2O over 6.0m drill

width (true thickness is yet unknown).

•Multiple pegmatite dyke intersections

and 1.50% Li2O over 5.60m at

Moylisha are consistent with historical

results and confirm the prospectivity of

the area.

•Step out drilling, 500m south of

historical work at Moylisha, intersected

lithium and other rare element

mineralization within multiple, closely

spaced, parallel pegmatites.

Recent Advancements

Page 26

Between September 2014 and December 2015 ILC conducted regional

and prospect scale geochemical sampling along the 30km lithium

pegmatite belt.

For further details please see the Aug.11, 2015 News Release.

•12 new targets were identified through geochemical surveys and prospecting,

bringing the total to 21 targets now identified within the belt as having a high

probability of containing spodumene bearing pegmatite.

Based on the highly encouraging results from the 2014 program, more soil

sampling was conducted in January 2015 to:

•infill areas along the Belt,

•test extensions to newly identified anomalies and

•test for parallel pegmatites along the newly defined, wider belt.
