Given our exploration activities (and especially if we achieve exploration success leading to mining activities), we will face the risk of workplace injuries which may result in
workers' compensation claims, related claims under applicable law and potential occupational health and safety prosecutions. Further, the production processes used in
conducting any future mining activities can be dangerous. We have, and intend to maintain, a range of workplace practices, procedures and policies which will seek to
provide a safe and healthy working environment for its employees, visitors and the community which will minimise but cannot eliminate this risk. Of particular concern will be
operating and managing health and safety in an environment where COVID-19 remains an ongoing concern.
We have limited operating history on which we can base an evaluation of our future prospects. If our business model does not prove to be profitable, investors may lose their
investment. Our historical financial information is of limited value because of our lack of operating history and the emerging nature of our business. Our prospects must be
considered in the light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly in the mineral exploration
sector, which has a high level of inherent uncertainty.
In formulating our exploration programs, feasibility studies and development strategies, we rely to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of our current
management. Many of our key personnel are important to attaining our business goals. One or more of these key employees could leave their employment, and this may
adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and, accordingly, affect our financial performance and our share price. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is
important to our success. The number of persons skilled in the exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is strong.
Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. These estimates were appropriate when made but may change
significantly when new information becomes available. There are risks associated with such estimates. Resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some
extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment. Adjustments to resource estimates could affect our future plans and ultimately
our financial performance and value. Lithium price fluctuations, as well as increased production costs or reduced throughput and/or recovery rates, may render resources
containing relatively lower grades uneconomic and may materially affect resource estimations.
Our operations and activities are subject to the environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we work. As with most exploration projects and mining
operations, our operations and activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. We attempt
to conduct our operations and activities to the highest standards of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. We are
unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would
materially increase our cost of doing business or affect our operations in any area. There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter
enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige us to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and performance. We are subject to and compliant with all aspects of environmental regulation of our exploration and mining activities. We
are not aware of any environmental law that is not being complied with as at the date of this presentation.View entire presentation
