Forward-looking statements are based on certain material assumptions and analysis made by LithiumBank and the opinions and estimates of management as of the date of this press release, including management’s expectation that listing on the OTCQX Market will increase visibility and accessibility for investors located in the United States and provide benefits to shareholders of the Company by increasing market information, transparency and liquidity around the Company’s securities, that the Preliminary Economic Assessment will be completed in the coming quarter, that the Company will receive regulatory approval to enter into the agreement with ITG and the expected benefits thereof, and that the Company will provide future corporate development updates on the Company’s various projects.
