CURRENT MARKET

5

• World production of lithium is dominated by a small number of participants

that account for 90% of the total market

• Production from salar brine accounts for 51% of world production
• Significant operational challenges encountered in producing a technical

grade lithium product at a remote salar location.

• World projects have been characterized by low success in timing along

with budget and schedule overruns.

• The NRG strategy is founded on uncomplicated and rapid development,

minimal environmental impact, and joining an offtake partner who requires and industrial grade product.

• NRG desires a sustainable operation, and is currently negotiating with a

major supplier of solar energy systems to potentially power operations in Argentina, where the known solar resource is significant.

World production of lithium is an

• ligopoly controlled by four companies

which produce 89% of supply from all sources Albemarle produces 18%, SQM produces 21% and FMC produces 10%, all sourced from lithium brine Tianqi produce 40% of the worlds lithium supply from mineral sources in Australia

• In a 43-101 Technical Report dated March 7, 2012, Lithium

One provided a detailed log of diamond drill hole SVH11-21 with assay values that ranged from a low of 564 mg/L Li to a high of 895 mg/L Li over the 95m length of the hole.

• That hole is located 750 m south of the Tramo concession.
• In a press release dated April 10, 2017, Galaxy Resources

announced the initiation of production-well drilling at Sal de Vida, approximately two km south of the Tramo concession.

• Given robust exploration, development and mining activity in

the area, access to key infrastructure is excellent.

• Montgomery and Associates completed NI 43-101 Technical

Report in October 2017 recommending drill testing the claim group

EXPLORATION HISTORY

• Preliminary interpretation

indicates four distinct zones

• Surface zones 1 and 2 are

dry sediments followed by sediments with fresh water / not conductive

• Middle zone is fresh water

and brine / semi-conductive

• Fourth zone which is the

target zone is highly conductive and has been confirmed to contain lithium bearing brine
