Aggressive Government support for EVs

EV industry becoming an unstoppable force thanks to Government legislation

• China (World’s largest auto market) has mandated all auto makers generate EV credits equaling 8% of sales in 2018, 10% by 2019 and 12% by 2020 and is planning future ban on sale of gas-powered cars.

• Norway planning ban on new gas-powered cars by 2025

• India and Netherlands planning ban on new gas-powered cars by 2030

• Britain to ban sale of new gas-powered cars by 2040

• France to ban sale of new gas-powered cars by 2040 and Paris to ban ALL gas-powered cars from use by

2030

• Austria, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Portugal, Korea and Spain have set official targets for EV

sales and Germany is considering a future ban on gas car sales.

Chile: The World’s Largest Reserves and Lowest Cost Production

PRODUCTION COSTS• High lithium concentrations recharge and high

evaporation rates give Chilean Salars a world-

leading production advantage

PRODUCTION COST COMPARISON• Chile ~$1,800/t

• Australia ~$5,000/t

MINING-FRIENDLY JURISDICTION• Mining-friendly jurisdiction with clear,

streamlined permitting process

• “The region’s most benign investment climate” (The Economist, 2017)

Lithium Chile Projects Benefitfrom Excellent Grades and Chemistry

• Recent work programs have confirmed strong

grades on multiple projects

• Testing has shown low Mg to Li ratios,

an important factor in production

• Favourable comparisons with current Chilean

production at Salar de Atacama
