April 2017
Forward Looking Statement
Certain statements included in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities laws, including statements regarding the Little Nahanni Pegmatite Group (LNPG) Property, the Tule Lithium Brine Project, the Gerlach Nevada Lithium Brine Project, the 50% joint venture with Mag One Products Inc: statements pertaining to the ability of Equitorial Exploration Corp. (“EXX”); the potential to develop resources and then further develop reserves; the anticipated economic potential of the property; the availability of capital and finance for EXX to execute its strategy going forward. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by EXX in light of its experience and perception of current and expected future developments, as well as other factors that EXX believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Many factors could cause EXX’s results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements, including: discrepancies between actual and estimated results from exploration and development and operating risks, dependence on early exploration stage concessions; uninsurable risks; competition; regulatory restrictions, including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability; currency fluctuations; defective title to mineral claims or property and dependence on key employees.
Persons reviewing this presentation are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to inherent uncertainty therein. EXX disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. This presentation is for distribution to Accredited Investors only. This presentation is NOT for public disclosure.

LNPG Project43-101 (3/20/2017) - Interpretation and Conclusions
1. LNPG Project contains a system of Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum-type (LCT) pegmatite dykes with a strike length of 13 km.
2. “Sufficient grades to bring the rock to within economic values.”
3. Dyke continuity over a vertical range of 300+ meters demonstrated by natural exposure and past drilling.
4. Each “swarm” of dykes is up to 300 m thick.
5. Reliable channel sampling performed in 2016.
6. Careful measurement of dyke width and host rock intervals have enabled bulk samples to be calculated.
7. “Results such as 10.35 m at 1.13% Li2O, 71.1 g/t Ta2O5 and SnO2 are highly encouraging.”

Tule Valley Lithium Brine Project - Property Description
Claims● 26 placer claims of 26 acres each● 4,800 acres in total
Location● 190 km south of Salt Lake City, Utah● Straddles Juab and Millard counties
Lithium Bearing District● 20km north: Honey Comb
beryllium-rubidium-lithium-REE project○ NI 43-101 (Redhill Resources,
9/30/2011): 1,500-1,700 ppm Li● 30km northeast: Spor Mountain beryllium
mine● 60km southeast: Crystal Peak’s
potash-lithium-magnesium brine project○ NI 43-101 (Crystal Peaks,
11/18/2013): Lithium in solution (brine) values = 50mg - 200mg/liter

Tule Valley Lithium Brine Project - Closed Basin
What is a Closed Basin?● Surface and groundwater flow into the basin and only escape by
evaporation at surface● Evaporation leaves behind minerals dissolved in resulting brines and
evaporation pools
Similar to Clayton Valley● USGS calls the Clayton Valley, “the best
known deposit in the world” for Lithium due to:○ Closed tectonically active basin○ Arid climate○ Elevated heat flow, due to hot springs or
young volcanoes ● Tule Valley has the same attributes
Down Faulted● Normal faults on both sides of valley● Generates fluid mobilization from hard-rock
Lithium sources
8
Tule Valley Lithium Brine Project - Preliminary Assays
Sampling● August, 2016● 4 water samples● 13 soil samples (most collected at claim post sites located on exposed playa)
Results● Samples of actively evaporating briny surface muds are all anomalous in Lithium (over 0.01% Li) ● Samples as high as 200 ppm Li● Each anomalous sample is:
○ Very wet○ Saturated with salty brine○ Contains salt and/or gypsum crystals
Relationship to Water Table● Sample locations are where:
○ Playa surface dips below current groundwater table (less than 1,339m)○ Near-surface brines reach the surface○ Form shallow pools ○ Brine evaporates
Bottom Line● The surface brines and saturated muds being anomalous in lithium is deemed encouraging for
the deposition of near-surface lithium mineralization
Exploration - Next Steps● Geophysical surveying, particularly induced polarization to detect conductive layers beneath the
playa

Gerlach Lithium Brine Project
Property● 89 claims, 720 hectares (1,780 acres)● San Emidio desert, 5 miles from Gerlach, Wahoe
County, Nevada● 120 km north of Tesla Gigafactory #1
Why Gerlach?● Nearby geothermal clusters with hot springs● Large closed basin● Gravity low / basin low with Pleistocene lake bottom ● Potential lithium source rocks● Within ashfall deposition● Ideal desert evaporation climate● All weather access on paved roads● Mine-friendly Nevada
2009 Sampling Program● Detailed geological mapping and prospecting● 146 samples collected (including blanks)● Significant values of beryllium● Anomalous values of lithium and uranium
Exploration - Next Steps● Geophysics and drilling to evaluate potential for a
mass brine deposit
