DISCLAIMER

This presentation includes certain "forward-looking information” and "forward-looking statements” (collectively "forward-looking statements”) within

the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation including the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of

1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein, without limitation, statements relating the future operating or

financial performance of the Company, are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as "expects”, "anticipates”, "believes”, "intends”, "estimates”,

"potential”, "possible”, and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions, or results "will”, "may”, "could”, or "should” occur or be

achieved. Forward-looking statements in this press release relate to, among other things: completion of the proposed transaction with Li3,

completion of a Prefeasibility Study and completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study. Statements concerning mineral resource estimates may also

be deemed to constitute forward-looking information to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the

Maricunga Project is developed. Actual future results may differ materially. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be

accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements reflect

the beliefs, opinions and projections on the date the statements are made and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while

considered reasonable by the respective parties, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social

uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be

materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements

and the parties have made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: the

absence of a material adverse change in the Maricunga Project; fluctuations in the price of lithium or certain other commodities; fluctuations in the

currency markets; changes in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments;

risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial

accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding); the presence of laws and regulations that may impose

restrictions on mining; employee relations and receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals for the Li3 transaction. Readers

should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements and information contained in this news release concerning these times. Except

as required by law, Bearing does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements of beliefs, opinions, projections, or other

factors, should they change, except as required by law.

LI3 ENERGY TRANSACTIONOverview

3

Bearing Lithium (TSXV:BRZ) entered into a definitive agreement with Li3 Energy

(OTCQB:LIEG) to acquire it for consideration of 16M shares. The transaction will close on

October 2, 2017.

Li3 Energy’s primary asset is a 17.7% interest in the Maricunga lithium project in Chile,

which is free-carried through the delivery of a definitive feasibility study (DFS) by the

projects’ partner.

The Maricunga Project is the highest grade, undeveloped lithium salar in the Americas. It is

second in grade only to the Salar de Atacama, which accounts for 100% of Chile’s lithium

production and about 40% of global production.

Over US$30 million has been invested in the project to date which has generated a NI 43-

101 Measured Resource of 1.7 Mt LCE and Inferred Resource if 0.4 Mt at an average

grades of 1,160 mg/L Li.

The project is comprised of a number of tenements totaling 4,463 hectares, some of which

are grandfathered under a previous mining code which allows for the immediate exploitation

of lithium.

POSCO (NYSE:PKX), one of the world’s largest steel manufacturers, invested US$18M

into Li3. Developed proprietary lithium extraction technology which recovered over 80% of

lithium from brine in under 24 hours with a fraction of the environmental footprint. POSCO is

anticipated to own ~8% of BRZ post-transaction.

Results from Phase 1 exploration program (Sept’16 – Jan’17) successfully

delineated high-grade lithium brine in all holes, with 200m deep holes

averaging from 822 to 1,382 mg/L lithium and 6,104 to 11,041 mg/L

Expansion of the lithium brine body is indicated as deep drilling

encountered a continuation of the sandy units to the end of the hole at

Initial testwork has been highly encouraging, with concentration increasing 5x over the first three months (from 1,260

Lithium concentrations continue to increase with potassium chloride precipitating in the ponds as the brine concentration

increases. Potassium chloride or potash is a beneficial by-product of lithium brine production.

MARICUNGA PROJECTTenement Map & Potential for Consolidation

17

The Maricunga salar is located in northern Chile with excellent

infrastructure: adjacent to International Highway 31 (which

connects northern Chile & Argentina) with grid power accessible to

the east.

The project is located close to critical roads and port infrastructure:

170 km northeast of Copiapó and 250 km from the Chilean Coast.

The project is comprised of a number of tenements located in the

northern (lithium-rich) section of the Maricunga salar:

The Maricunga Salar has been subject to significant past

exploration under the previous partners, MSB and Li3 Energy.

More than US$30 million has been invested in these tenements

over the past four years. MARICUNGA JV

All the tenements / concessions are held by the Maricunga Joint Venture company (Maricunga JV).

Under the terms of the joint-venture, Minera Salar Blanco (MSB) and Bearing (BRZ) are free carried with Lithium Power

International (LPI) funding all expenditures beyond to the delivery of a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) by 2018.

LPI has earned in an initial 32.5% through exploration, property and share payments totaling US$21.7 million. In order to

earn-in their remaining interest, up to a maximum of 50%, they are to fund an additional US$9.55 million in exploration and

development costs.

The Board and Technical Committee for the Maricunga JV will be split by LPI, MSB and Bearing.

In Chile, lithium is considered “strategic” and therefore under the current mining law, it is a non-concessible substance

Only mining exploitation concessions initiated before 1979 are authorized for the exploitation of lithium. The Cocina, San Francisco, Salamina, and Despreciada mining concessions fall under this category (also referred to as “old code” or “grandfathered” tenements / claims)

The Chilean government acknowledges that it is time to redefine the strategic categorization of lithium and new government has lithium as a priority

In June 2014, the government established the National Lithium Commission to recommend a new State Policy for the exploitation of lithium and promotion and development of new projects

The recent announcements by the Chilean government provide positive steps for the lithium industry in Chile. Government is committed to provide mechanisms for non-grandfathered lithium claims to advance their projects and Chilean President directly instructed Codelco to move forward with its Maricunga and Pedernales lithium claims to promote new lithium production.

In early 2017, Codelco announced it had formed a lithium subsidiary to facilitate a process is its currently running to identify a partner for it’s lithium projects, for which it anticipates to announce by year-end 2017. In addition, Codelco was recently awarded a permit by the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission (CChEN) to extract up to 1.73 Mt of lithium carbonate (325,045 t Li) from the Maricunga salar.

In early 2017, the Government granted Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) an amendment of it’s lithium production rights with the Chilean Economic Development Agency (CORFO) to expand its quota to 80,000 tonnes annually of technical and battery grade lithium sales over the next 27 years.

Government initiatives bring Chile to the forefront to advance lithium production in one of the best jurisdictions worldwide, attracting world class strategic partners
