Forward Looking Statements

This Presentation includes and is based on forward-looking information and statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, economic conditions globally, the impact of competition, political and economic developments in the countries in which the Company operates, regulatory developments in Nevada and internationally and changes in lithium prices and in the margins for the Company’s products. These expectations, estimates and projections are generally identifiable by statements containing words such as "expects", "anticipates", "targets", "goals", "projects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", variations of such words, and similar expressions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expectations include, among others, economic and market conditions in the geographic areas and industries that are or will be major markets for the Company’s businesses, lithium prices, market acceptance of new products and services, changes in governmental regulations, interest rates, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and such other factors as may be discussed from time to time. Although the Company believes that its expectations and the information in this Presentation were based upon reasonable assumptions at the time when they were made, it can give no assurance that those expectations will be achieved or that the actual results will be as set out in this Presentation.

The LiTHIUM X team has created several multi-billion dollar companies from scratch and has access to a global network of business, government and philanthropic leaders. The team are major shareholders in LiTHIUM X and are focused on maintaining a sound share structure and financing the company in ways that benefit existing and future shareholders. The technical and project personnel are leading experts in environmental permitting and resource projects in the United States, and have a notable track record in the area.

why invest?

  • 1. team
  • 2. asset
  • 3. timing

LITHIUM X’s main asset is adjacent to the only producing lithium brine

  • peration in North America.

Other companies in the area have created significant shareholder value in a short period of time by exploring for lithium. Technology is making recovery more environmentally friendly than ever before. Proving up a resource is likely to cost far less than in other commodities. Management is actively pursuing strategies to enhance its project portfolio. The energy storage revolution is generating high demand for lithium, with some analysts forecasting

  • rder-of-magnitude demand

increases. Battery giants are scaling up lithium-ion production with mega factories and actively acquiring raw materials through long-term offtake agreements. Companies already producing lithium are attempting to increase

  • production. However, the majority of

current production (both brine and hard-rock operations) are capacity constrained with geopolitical risk affecting some of the world’s major production areas.
