Val-d’Or, Québec, March 27, 2023 – Vision Lithium Inc. (TSXV: VLI) (OTCQB: ABEPF) (FSE: 1AJ2) (the “Company” or “Vision Lithium reports that it has filed the technical report supporting the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Company’s 100%-owned Sirmac Lithium Project, located within the Frotet-Evans Greenstone Belt of northern Quebec (the “Technical Report”). The Technical Report, titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report: Preliminary Economic Assessment on Pegmatite Dike #5 Lithium-Tantalum Deposit; Sirmac Property, Québec” dated February 15, 2023, was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) by Mr. Claude Duplessis, P. Eng. Senior Engineer, GoldMinds Geoservices (“GMG”) and Mr. Daniel Dufort, P. Eng. Engineer, GMG.

The positive PEA, announced February 21, 2023, demonstrates the potential for Vision Lithium to develop the Sirmac deposit as a Direct Shipping operation (DSO) with potential very high returns.

Preliminary Economic Assessment Highlights (all results are reported in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise specified):

  • Pre-Tax net present value (“NPV”) (discount rate 5%) of C$183.6M, internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 839% and payback less than 1 year
  • After-Tax net present value (“NPV”) (discount rate 5%) of C$104.8M, internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 484% and payback less than 1 year
  • Assumed DSO selling price of US$591 per tonne / C$797 per tonne based on US $4,100/t concentrate pricing
  • 4 years of mine life with 321,000 tonnes of DSO at 1.33 % Li2O
  • Revenue of C$253.4M
  • Life of Mine capital of C$3.1M
  • Operation cost per tonne of DSO at C$142

The PEA is preliminary in nature. Although 85% of the resources used for the PEA are Measured & Indicated, the report does include Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA in the Technical Report will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have not demonstrated economic viability. Additional work will be required to convert Inferred mineral resources to Indicated or Measured mineral resources.
