About Pampa Litio
Pampa Litio was created by Argentinean
geologists to explore for hard rock lithium bearing pegmatites,
particularly within the Province of San Luis which has historical
occurrences of lithium bearing pegmatites. New Peak acquired an
interest in the Mineral Exploration Tenements of Pampa Litio and
completed a number of early-stage exploration programs. GCOM
completed the Acquisition with a view to continuing this
exploration in a highly prospective region.
To date, Pampa Litio has applied for four
exploration titles totaling 34,300 hectares within the San Luis
Province in Argentina. The Pampean Ranges are host to numerous
granitic pegmatites with historic mineral resources that have been
mined during the past 90 years, accounting for the majority of the
feldspar, quartz, mica, beryllium, tungsten, lithium, tantalum and
rubidium produced in Argentina.

About Green Shift Commodities
Ltd.
Green Shift Commodities Ltd. is focused on the
exploration and development of commodities needed to help
decarbonize and meet net-zero goals.
The Company is developing the Berlin Deposit in
Colombia. Apart from uranium, for clean nuclear energy, the Berlin
Deposit contains battery commodities including nickel, phosphate,
and vanadium. Phosphate is a key component of lithium-ion
ferro-phosphate (“LFP”) batteries that are being used by a growing
list of electric vehicle manufacturers. Nickel is a component of
various lithium-ion batteries, while vanadium is the element used
in vanadium redox flow batteries. Neodymium, one of the rare earth
elements contained within the Berlin Deposit, is a key component of
powerful magnets that are used to increase the efficiency of
electric motors and in generators in wind turbines.
The Company recently acquired the district scale
Rio Negro Project in Argentina. This Project represents an exciting
opportunity to unlock the potential of over 500,000 Ha of land,
known to contain hard rock lithium pegmatite occurrences that were
first discovered in the 1960s but have seen little exploration
since.
