The MOU contemplates LION supplying 10,000 tonnes within the first three years of a definitive offtake agreement being signed and an additional 10,000 tonnes within five years. The MOU lays out the framework for the proposed offtake schedule, which is as follows:

The Company product must also be compliant with the product quality of flake graphite of at least or better than a minimum 90 pct carbon content and at least or larger than +80 Mesh flake size.

The MOU contemplates the following prices:

1. a)for the first 5,000 tonnes, the greater of US$600/tonne or the amount calculated using a 35% discount to the previous month's price for Flake Graphite, 90-93 pct C, +80 Mesh FOB China as published by Benchmark Minerals Intelligence Ltd. (the "Benchmark Price");

Ambato-Arana Graphite Mine, Madagascar

The Company continues to make very significant progress in its understanding and knowledge of the past producing Ambato-Arana Graphite Project in Madagascar. The Company completed the purchase and transfer of a 100% interest in the Ambato Project and is focused on working with Pascal Marchand M.Sc. P. Geol to complete the updated environmental study and prepare the detailed license development plan which is needed to put the project back into economic production. The Company has acquired and verified a substantial amount of historical data including recently recovered historic data on over 400 auger drill holes on the project that indicates the presence of substantial graphite mineralization, which will be instrumental in the implementation of the upcoming confirmation work program and mine plan completion.

Pascal is a Franco-Canadian geologist based in Madagascar with over 25 year's highly relevant experience including the exploration and appraisal of mineralisation of graphite. He is a member of the Ordre des Geologues du Quebec. Mr. Marchand holds degrees in geology including MSc's from Laval University and from the University of Nancy and a BSc from the University of Besancon. He has worked throughout Madagascar and, in addition to geological expertise, is fully conversant with Malagasy mining law, and environmental and social regulations.
