Edison Lithium Arranges Sale of Majority Stake in Argentinian Lithium Properties for US$5 Million Vancouver, British Columbia, December 19, 2023 – Edison Lithium Corp. (TSXV: EDDY, OTCQB: EDDYF; FSE: VV0) (“Edison” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated December 18, 2023 (the “LOI”) with Meteor Energy, LLC (“Meteor”), an energy corporation based in Dallas, Texas, for the sale of 100% of the Company’s interest in its Argentina subsidiary, Resource Ventures S.A. (“ReVe”), in consideration for USD$5,000,000. Prior to the sale, ReVe will have first rolled out and retained the Pipanaco claims and one of the LEXI claims to be retained in a new subsidiary, as further described below. Pursuant to the LOI, the parties agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a definitive agreement within 60 days to give effect to this transaction on terms and conditions acceptable to both parties. ReVe controls the rights to prospective lithium brine claims in the province of Catamarca, Argentina. The claims are principally located in the two geologic basins known as the Antofalla Salar and the Pipanaco Salar. ReVe’s assets on closing of the disposition to Meteor will include 29 mining concessions covering approximately 105,699 hectares area in Catamarca Province, Argentina. The Company will retain and focus its Argentinian efforts on 8 mining concessions covering approximately 28,766 hectares area in Catamarca Province, Argentina, which are not subject to the sale and amount to approximately 20% of the claims currently held by ReVe. The sale terms included Meteor paying the Company USD$25,000 on signing of the LOI, with further payments of USD$475,000 and USD$4,500,000 payable by Meteor to the Company upon execution of a definitive agreement and the closing of the disposition, respectively. Nathan Rotstein, Edison’s CEO, commented, “This transaction validates our purchase of the entire ReVe property package two and half years ago for $1,250,000 and puts Edison into a strong cash position to assess other opportunities. We are very pleased with how we will be positioned after closing the transaction.” The LOI contemplates a 60 day due diligence period prior to execution of the definitive agreement during which Meteor will conduct standard due diligence on ReVe and the mining claims subject to this sale. Completion of the disposition contemplated by the LOI remains subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement and approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) and shareholders of the Company, if required. The Company and Meteor are at armslength, and no finders’ fees or commissions are payable in connection with completion of the sale contemplated by the LOI. About Edison Lithium Corp.

Edison Lithium Spin-Out of Cobalt Assets
Vancouver, British Columbia, May 19, 2022 – Edison Lithium Corp. (TSXV: EDDY, OTCQB: EDDYF; FSE: VV0) (“Edison” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved a proposed spinout of its cobalt assets in northeastern Ontario, referred to as the Kittson Cobalt Property (the “Spin-Out”), into a newly incorporated subsidiary (“SpinCo”). The Company
will continue to hold its interest in the Antofalla Salar and Pipanaco Salar lithium projects in Argentina.
It is proposed that the Spin-Out will be carried out by way of statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Common shares of SpinCo (the “SpinCo Shares”) will be distributed to shareholders of Edison on the basis of one SpinCo Share for every one common share of Edison held. There will be no change in Edison shareholders’ holdings in the Company as a result of the Spin-Out. If the Spin-Out is completed, shareholders will own shares in both companies - Edison, which will be focused on its Argentinian lithium brine projects, and SpinCo, which will be focused on cobalt exploration in Canada. The Company expects the Spin-Out will increase
shareholder value by allowing capital markets to ascribe value to the Kittson Cobalt Property independent of the Company’s lithium properties.
The proposed Spin-Out will be subject to the terms of an arrangement agreement between Edison and SpinCo, the approval of shareholders at a meeting of Edison shareholders, the approval of the British Columbia Supreme Court and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Company intends to seek a listing of the SpinCo Shares on the Exchange but no assurance can be provided that such a listing will be obtained. Listing will be subject to SpinCo fulfilling all of the requirements of the Exchange.
Nathan Rotstein, Chief Executive Officer of Edison comments, “It is our intention to build shareholder value by providing investors with an ownership stake in two separate specialized companies. Both companies will be in the hot battery metals sector. Each company will operate as a separate entity and will enjoy distinction in the exponential growth of the EV market.” In connection with the Spin-Out, the Company intends to undertake a private placement (“Private Placement”) of up to 60,000,000 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipt”) priced at $0.05 per Subscription Receipt in order to raise gross proceeds of up to $3,000,000 (the “Escrowed Proceeds”), which will be held in escrow subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary escrow release conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions”). Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive,
upon conversion and without any further action on the part of such holder or payment of any additional consideration, one unit of SpinCo (a "Unit"), with each Unit comprised of one (1) SpinCo Share and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable into one (1) SpinCo Share at an anticipated exercise price of $0.08 per SpinCo Share, for an exercise period of two years.
The conversion of the Subscription Receipts will be subject to the satisfaction or the Escrow Release Conditions, including the closing of the Arrangement and the listing of the SpinCo Shares on the Exchange, on or prior to a date to be determined (the "Outside Date"). Upon the satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions, the Escrowed Proceeds will be released to SpinCo. Upon receipt thereof, SpinCo is
expected to use the Escrowed Proceeds to fund exploration of the Kittson Cobalt Property and for general working capital, including, potential future acquisitions. In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied prior to the Outside Date, the Escrowed Proceeds will be returned pro rata to each holder of Subscription Receipts, and the Subscription Receipts will be automatically cancelled, void and of no value or effect. The Subscription Receipts and the SpinCo Shares and Warrants issuable in exchange for the Subscription Receipts will be subject to a four-month statutory hold period expiring four months and one
day from the closing date of the Private Placement.
Further details of the Spin-Out and the related Private Placement will follow by additional press releases. Timing of the Spin-Out and Private Placement will be based on prevailing market conditions. The particulars of the Spin-Out and related Private Placement are not yet final and shareholders are cautioned that there can
be no assurance that the Spin-Out and Private Placement will be completed on the terms described herein or at all.
About the Kittson Cobalt Property The Kittson Cobalt Property includes three historical producing Co-Ag mines, namely the Kittson-Cobalt Mine, Shakt-Davis and Edison (also known as Darby) Mine. These mines, unlike those in the nearby Cobalt silver camp, were developed primarily for their cobalt content, and interestingly possessed significant gold content (locally >1 oz/ton).
To view the National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report titled “Technical Report on the Kittson-Cobalt Property” with a report date of June 9, 2021, and an effective date of July 16, 2021, as prepared by SGS Geological Service and GeoVector Management Inc. (the “Technical Report”), please visit Edison’s

About the Antofalla Salar and Pipanaco Salar Lithium Projects In 2021, Edison acquired Resource Ventures S.A., an Argentinian corporation that owns or controls the rights to over 148,000 hectares (365,708 acres) of prospective lithium brine claims in the province of Catamarca, Argentina. The claims are principally located in the two geological basins known as the Antofalla Salar and the Pipanaco Salar in South America’s famed Lithium Triangle. The Antofalla Salar hosts one of the largest lithium-bearing basins in the region. It is over 130 km long and
varies between 5 km and 20 km across. The Company’s assets in and around the Antofalla Salar are made up of approximately 107,000 hectares (264,397 acres) of semi-contiguous claims in the northern and southern parts of this salar.
The Company’s claims in the Pipanaco Salar consist of over 41,000 hectares (101,311 acres) of core areas in this salar. These properties are in the very early stages of exploration with minimal surface samples having been collected to date.
