CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain of the statements made in this Presentation may contain forward-looking statements or information within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", “targets”, “targeted”, expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or believes" or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements or information in this Presentation include, but are not limited to: information with respect to our strategy, plans, goals and outlook for our Mariana, Avalonia, Mavis, Raleigh and Forgan properties, including expansions and production, our future financial and operating performance and targets, and our proposed mine development and exploration and other events.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information.
We have made certain assumptions about the forward-looking statements and information, including assumptions about funding by Pioneer Resources, the political and economic environment that we operate in, the future price of commodities, anticipated costs and expenses and impact of the disposition on the business. Even though our management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statement or information will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, should one or more of the risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements or information.
These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the following: closing of transactions not occurring or delayed, political, economic, environmental and permitting risks, commodity price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated production, estimated mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks, litigation risks, regulatory restrictions, including environmental and permitting regulatory restrictions and liabilities, internal and external approval risks, risks of sovereign investment, currency fluctuations, speculative nature of mineral exploration, global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility, competition, and loss of key employees.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information contained herein.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US INVESTORS
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources - The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" referred to in the Company's disclosure are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 -Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council as amended from time to time by the CIM. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") Guide 7. Under SEC Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historic average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.
The terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource", "inferred mineral resource" used in the Company's disclosure are Canadian mining terms used in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the CIM Standards. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. While the terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource," "indicated mineral resource", and "inferred mineral resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. As such, information contained in the Company's disclosure concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by US companies in SEC filings. With respect to "inferred mineral resource" there is a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
QUALIFIED PERSON
Afzaal Pirzada, Geological Consultant of the Company, and a “Qualified Person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101-Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators, has reviewed, approved and verified the scientific and technical information contained in this Presentation.

• Pegmatite intersection of 2.23% Li2O over 23.3m including 3.43% Li2O over 6.0m drill width (true thickness is yet unknown) reported.
* The historical resource estimate was completed prior to the implementation of NI43-101 and does not conform to any resource category as defined by the CIM Standards and Definitions for mineral resources and reserve estimates. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to verify the information regarding the historical resource estimate and therefore the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. Details regarding the historical estimate can be found in the issuer’s news release dated January 31, 2012.

HIGH GRADE BOULDER FIELD DISCOVERY
*Grab samples are by definition selective and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property.
▪ 4.59%, 3.45% and 3.27% Li2O grab samples*
The high grade lithium and extensive boulder
occurrence within such a small area
represents a highly prospective zone along
strike from a previously identified pegmatite
indicating a potentially sizable, yet to be
discovered buried pegmatite.

EXPLORATION OBJECTIVE
The exploration objective in Canada is to discover and define pegmatites
with suitable lithium grade, chemistry and thickness; near surface and
proximal to good infrastructure, to support a viable mining operation.
The Mavis and Raleigh Pegmatites exhibit:
1) Good grade and chemistry
2) Excellent proximity to infrastructure providing logistical advantages
Rather than a single large 'stand-alone' pegmatite, smaller multiple pegmatites can be
combined into a unified mine plan.
