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.

• NRG will focus on identifying, and establishing a project with the intent of

producing an industrial grade lithium product.

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 / Albemarle produce 40% of the worlds lithium supply from mineral sources in Australia.

• 3,297 Hectare claim package comprised of six

concessions in Salta Province

• Adjacent to Galaxy Resources’ Sal de Vida lithium

development project and FMC Corp’s long-time producing Fenix lithium brine operations.

• 20 surface samples collected in 2016-2017 range from 48

to 1,064 mg/L Li, averaging 587 mg/L Li , with seven samples over 800 mg/Li.

• Magnesium to lithium ratios range from 1.1:1 to 10.2:1,

averaging 4.6:1 , which are low by industry standards.

• Geophysical data indicates zones of low resistivity,

interpreted to be potential lithium-bearing zones that are

• pen at depth.
