with 1032701 B.C. LTD., a private British Columbia company with respect to the
Company's Fish Lake Valley lithium brine property in Esmeralda County, Nevada
(the "Property").
1032701 BC Ltd., or their successor or assigns ("Optionee"), which is to be
a company acceptable to our Company and listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the

performing the following upon the signing of a Definitive Agreement, that is to
take place no later than April 1st, 2016:
Upon signing, pay $100,000 to Lithium Corporation and issue 200,000 common

On or before the first anniversary of the signing of the Definitive
Agreement pay $100,000 to Lithium Corporation and issue 100,000 common
shares of the Optionee/TSX-V listed public company.
On or before the second anniversary of the signing of the definitive
agreement pay $100,000 to Lithium Corporation and issue 100,000 common
shares of the Optionee/TSX-V listed public company.
Optionee must make qualified exploration or development expenditures on the
Property of $200,000 before the first anniversary, an additional $300,000 before
the second anniversary, an additional $600,000 prior to the third anniversary,
and make all payments and perform all other acts to maintain the Property in

purchase one half of Lithium Corporation'S NSR for $1,000,000.
Brian Goss, President of Lithium Corporation stated, "We have achieved a
major milestone towards reaching our goal of finding a partner to advance
exploration at Fish Lake Valley. This agreement, once completed, will de-risk
our interest in the property for the next $1.1 million of exploration and
development, allow us to maintain an interest in Fish Lake Valley, and build a
relationship with a new partner group. The Lithium Corporation team looks
forward to closing a Definitive Agreement pursuant to these terms."
