FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release includes certain "forward-looking
information" under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including but not limited to statements relating to timing
and costs related to the general business and operational outlook of the Company, the environmental footprint of tailings and positive
ecosystem impact relating thereto, donation and upcycling of tailings, timing and quantities relating to tailings and Green Lithium,
achievements and projections relating to the Zero Tailings strategy, achievement of ramp-up volumes, production estimates and the operational
status of the Grota do Cirilo Project, and other forward-looking information. All statements that address future plans, activities, events,
estimates, expectations or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur is forward-looking information,
including statements regarding the potential development of mineral resources and mineral reserves which may or may not occur. Forward-looking
information contained herein is based on certain assumptions regarding, among other things: general economic and political conditions;
the stable and supportive legislative, regulatory and community environment in Brazil; demand for lithium, including that such demand
is supported by growth in the electric vehicle market; the Company’s market position and future financial and operating performance;
the Company’s estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves, including whether mineral resources will ever be developed into
mineral reserves; and the Company’s ability to operate its mineral projects including that the Company will not experience any
materials or equipment shortages, any labour or service provider outages or delays or any technical issues. Although management believes
that the assumptions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that these
assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information inherently involves and is subject to risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to that the market prices for lithium may not remain at current levels; and the market for electric vehicles
and other large format batteries currently has limited market share and no assurances can be given for the rate at which this market
will develop, if at all, which could affect the success of the Company and its ability to develop lithium operations. There can be no
assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated
in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The Company disclaims any intention
or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except
as required by law. For more information on the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ from
current expectations, please refer to the current annual information form of the Company and other public filings available under the
