FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information included in this discussion may constitute forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance, business prospects or opportunities. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the future price of lithium or potassium or rare earth metals commodities, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, the success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency fluctuations, the requirements of future capital, drill results and the estimation of mineral resources and reserves. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward- looking statements contained in this report should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this report. Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about:

  • general business and economic conditions;
  • the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of prices of commodities;
  • the availability of financing for the Company's development of projects on reasonable terms;
  • the political and regulatory environment of countries in which the Company operates;
  • the ability to procure equipment and operating supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis; and
  • the ability to attract and retain skilled staff.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things, changes in commodity and, particularly, lithium and potash prices, access to skilled mining development personnel, results of exploration and development activities, uninsured risks, regulatory changes, defects in title, availability of materials and equipment, timeliness of government approvals, actual performance of facilities, equipment and processes relative to specifications and expectations and unanticipated environmental impacts on operations. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the risk factors hereinabove. Additional risk factors are described in more detail hereinafter. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-lookingstatements as the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based might not occur. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others who base themselves on the Company's forward-lookingstatements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risks they entail. The forward-lookingstatements contained in this report are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or results of operations at this time.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

International Lithium Corp. (the "Company" or "ILC") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on March 26, 2009 and is in the process of exploring its resource properties. It became a listed public company on the TSX Venture Exchange in 2011 and trades under the stock symbol "ILC".

The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties located in Argentina, Canada and Ireland and it and its development partners have not yet determined whether the properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company and of its development partners to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production.

As an exploration company, ILC currently requires additional financing to continue in business and is likely to continue to require such additional financing for some time. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on reasonable terms. If financing is obtained by issuing common shares from treasury, control of the Company may change and investors may suffer additional dilution. To the extent financing is not available, lease payments, work commitments, rental payments and option payments, if any, may not be satisfied and could result in a loss of property ownership or earning opportunities for the Company.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $578,118 (2020 - $726,505) during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

EXPLORATION SUMMARY

Avalonia Project - Ireland

The Avalonia lithium project is comprised of eight prospecting licenses totalling 292 square kilometres centred 80 km south of Dublin straddling Counties Carlow and Wicklow in southeastern Ireland. The property encompasses an extensive NE-SW oriented 50-kilometre-long rare metals pegmatite belt situated within the East Carlow Deformation Zone along the eastern side of the Leinster Granite. Since acquiring the licenses in 2009, the Company has conducted a series of exploration programs to advance the project. The Company has a 45% interest in the project with the remaining 55% held by GFL International Co. Ltd.

In 2016, a total of 23 diamond drill holes comprising 1,756 metres of NQ sized core were completed in the central part of the Avalonia project's lithium belt and entirely within County Carlow. Of these, 10 holes focussed on further delineating pegmatites in the Aclare area. Down-dip extension and infill drilling was used to delineate the distribution of lithium and rare metals in the system and identify thickening vectors of the pegmatite body.

Highlights of the drilling include three drill holes which intersected a previously unknown pegmatite 450 metres east of the main Aclare pegmatites. This new pegmatite is hosted in a granite sill parallel and adjacent to the granite sill hosting the main Aclare pegmatites where drill hole ACL13-04 intersected 2.23% Li2O over a drill width of 23.3 metres, including 3.43% Li2O over 6 metres (see Company news release dated June 25, 2013). All lengths reported are drill intercepts and have not been converted into true widths.

Spodumene bearing pegmatite boulders were discovered in field walls between the new pegmatite and the Aclare mineralization. These boulders contain spodumene crystals that are greater than 40 centimetres in length and some of the largest identified on the property to date.

Drilling Highlights (News release July 21, 2016)

  • Most notable pegmatite intersection grading 2.33% Li2O over 4.62m at southern extent of Aclare pegmatite;
  • Aclare pegmatite high-grade mineralization open along trend to the southwest and at depth;
  • Improved understanding of mineral zonation to assist future targeting; and
  • Plans to extend drill pattern at Aclare and initiate exploration in the vicinity of a high-grade spodumene boulder field at Moylisha in preparation for drilling.

Particularly encouraging results (ACL16-22) are from the southern extent of the drilling and show that mineralization is open to the southwest with significant widths and grades. Holes ACL16-15 and 22 determined that an area previously mapped as a fault-controlled break in the pegmatite is in fact a bend in the mineralized zone revealing that the pegmatite zone is continuous and is made up of several closely spaced parallel bodies in this area.
