The United States is an up and coming lithium producer and Nevada is considered its epicenter. Currently the US produces tons of lithium per year and the vast majority of it comes from lithium carbonate production in western Nevada. Since initiating the Railroad Valley Project (''Project''), LithiumOre has successfully focused on proving out the Project's potential lithium reserves. Given our location and existence of key elements, LithiumOre's Railroad Valley Project has a number of inherent advantages:

• Arid climate
• Closed geographical basin containing lithium brine (versus hard rock pegmatites or clay)
• Adequate space for on-site processing
• Water Rights
• Existing infrastructure - ready access to high quality roads, low cost power and skilled labor force
• USGS survey confirmation that the land has high enough economic grade to warrant extraction and processing
• Large footprint - over 26,000 acres of claims in the heart of Railroad valley

The demand for lithium in recent years has been well documented and is growing. Every week there are new announcements by governments and industry experts that improve the market landscape for lithium demand. Recently Forbes stated, ''Led by the energy storage and electric car revolutions, lithium could become the most vital commodity of our time.'' Specifically, it is the rise of electric vehicles (''EVs'') that has positioned lithium demand to steadily increase for at least the next decade. With the Project's strong fundamentals, inherent advantages, and high growth market sector, we are confident that LithiumOre's viability will prove out as the Project's development progresses, placing LithiumOre in a prime position to transition from development to mining, and ultimately, to becoming one of the leading lithium ore producers in the United States.

Our results to date have laid a solid foundation for our optimism and ultimate success. We now have significant activity underway and the Company is excited to announce the results of these efforts over the coming months.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to shareholders for your support and I look forward to sharing success with you in the year ahead.

We will continue to increase our communication and transparency with our business progress and capital markets strategy. We will provide an updated Shareholder Report monthly.
