4 Nevada: The Right Place, the Right Time Drilling at Neptune Project, March 2016 NEV has 6 lithium projects located in a superior mining jurisdiction Drill permits received for all projects lithium brine proven at Clayton NE project Nevada Sunrise has acquired water rights in Clayton Valley Tesla s Gigafactory expected to increase LCE demand

5 Why Explore For Lithium Brines in Nevada? Thousands of acres of saline deposits from ancient lake systems Lithium bearing rocks and showings on surface Sparse deep drilling for lithium brines Only one lithium brine mine!

6 Clayton Valley Basin Does this terrain remind you of something? West Clayton Valley & the White Mountains, view WNW

8 What s Driving Lithium Demand? Tesla EV Chevy Bolt EV Elon Musk and Powerpack battery Concept car? Fiat EV Mercedes EV

9 Projected Worldwide EV Sales to 2040

10 Electric Cars: Long History of Short Range This 110-year old EV sold for US$95,000 in 2015 First electric vehicle ( EV ) built in 1837 EVs first appeared in North America in 1895 sales outstripped I.C. Range was 30 to 40 miles limited to city use only

11 Reduce Range Anxiety Buy a Tesla! More Range = More Lithium Best in range among all other EVs At US$35,000 with 215 mile range, Model 3 could allow Tesla s to reach annual goal of 500,000 EVs

12 Tesla s GigaFactory vs. the Great Pyramids Phase 1 Sept Soon to be one of the wonders of the modern world full size by 2020?

13 Tesla s GigaFactory The Finished Product 5.8 million sq.ft. powered by solar and wind Proposed output to eclipse current world production

14 Where In The World Is All The Lithium? (tons) (tons)

15 Lithium Deposit Types Brine deposits Hard Rock Deposits Clay Deposits

16 Problem: Lithium, the Old Fashioned Way Albemarle s Silver Peak Lithium Mine Evaporative pond process dates back centuries 12 to 18 months production time Silver Peak s brine ponds occupy a large footprint over 6 square miles Toxic ponds pose health risk to migratory birds

17 Solution: New Extraction Technology Lithium produced within hours instead of months. Low use of energy and water resources. Pilot testing is underway by Tenova- Bateman and Posco. Source: YouTube -

18 How Did NEV Find Its Lithium Properties?

19 Nevada Sunrise Lithium Projects Neptune (6,320 acres) Clayton NE (1,080 acres) Jackson Wash (3,300 ac.) Aquarius (1,660 acres) Atlantis (2,980 acres) Gemini (4,940 acres) Projects total 20,280 ac. Advantage Lithium Corp. (TSXV: AAL) is funding exploration on 5 projects

20 Technical Advisors & Consultants Dan Zampirro, CPG - Employed in early 2000s at the Silver Peak lithium mine - responsible for the lithium brine well field system, delineating aquifers, and exploration drilling. Author of the landmark 2003 paper, "Hydrogeology of Clayton Valley Brine Deposits, Esmeralda County, Nevada. John Oldow, Ph.d - Over 40 years of experience in the field of geology, and is currently director of the Ellison Miles Center for Geological Field Studies at the University of Texas, Dallas. John s recent fieldwork in western Nevada on regional tectonics prompted the acquisition of the Gemini and Aquarius projects by Nevada Sunrise.

21 Technical Advisors & Consultants Robert ( Chip ) Allender, Jr., CPG - 38-year career as a geologist on six continents and 20 countries in exploration and mine development. Authored technical reports for Neptune and Jackson Wash in 2016 and is contracted to supervise lithium drilling in John R. Kerr, P.Eng - Over 50 years of continuous employment in the mining industry, with 45 years experience in Nevada. Involved with the discovery of the Santa Fe gold mine, the Mindora gold/silver deposit, and identification of the Calvada gold mine, all located in Mineral County, Nevada.

22 Nevada Sunrise Exploration Philosophy Identify prospective geology Confirm presence of lithium by ASTER and surface sampling Acquire geophysical data Integrate data for drill targeting

23 Geology: Clayton Valley Banded Rhyolite Flow, Lithium Source Rock

24 Geochemistry: ASTER spectral survey Silver Peak Mine Advanced Spaceborne Thermal and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Hectorite (lithium clay) spectral signature obtained from USGS public files Clayton Valley and adjacent valleys show lithium (blue) leaching into basins

25 Geochemistry: Sampling Programs Gemini Project Atlantis Project

26 Geophysics: Surface gravity survey Gemini Project Gravity survey by University of Texas, Dallas field team outlined two deep, sub-basins in the Lida Valley Gemini East and Gemini West

27 Geophysics: Time Domain EM survey Gemini Project 2016 TDEM surveys detected conductive horizons interpreted as brine zones

28 Clayton Valley Aquifer System Drill target: Lithium brines accumulate in gravel, ash and salt layers creating aquifers (Zampirro, 2003) HOT MAGMATIC FLUIDS

29 Water Rights Acquisition Clayton Valley Town of Silver Peak, NV with view of lithium mine Clayton Valley is overallocated for water use in the most highlyregulated US state Main consumer of water is Albemarle s Silver Peak lithium mine In March 2016 NEV acquired an option on 1,770 acre/ft./yr. of water rights for future development

30 The Path to Discovery: Our Goal You Are Approaching Nevada s Next Lithium Mine LOCATE highly prospective properties ASSEMBLE experienced technical team OPTION projects to funding partners and systematically drill targets

31 A Metal With Benefits The makers of 7-Up added lithium citrate to their formula from 1929 to 1950, with slogans like: More than a mixer Dispels hangovers Takes the ouch out of grouch!
