GEOLOGICAL CONFIRMATION

ARMZ geological contractors have completed fieldwork for a topographical survey of the Pervomayskiy stockpile.The topographical report is being prepared and will form the basis for mapping of a drill program by Stans and/or ARMZ drilling contractors.

INFRASTRUCTURE AUDIT

Starting in October 2017, a technical audit of Project infrastructure will begin to assess the state of all buildings and infrastructure for their structural, electrical, and mechanical viability. PromTechnology (VPPINIT) an engineering division of ARMZ will conduct the audit.The goal of the audit is to determine the work programs required to resume production of a lithium concentrate at the existing PGOK facilities.Representatives of Stans and ARMZ will be participating in this process.

As part of ARMZ due diligence requirements, qualified Russian auditors will be retained by Stans to evaluate the financial status of PGOK.

LITHIUM CONCENTRATE PROCESSING REVIEW

In October 2017, VNIIHT experts and representatives of Priargunsky GOK, the largest uranium mining enterprise in the Russian Federation, will collect a five (5) tonne sample of stockpile mineralized material from the Pervomayskiy stockpile.The sample will be used for industrial scale testing on optimization of milling processes to produce lithium concentrate and lithium carbonate. The production technology will be designed by VNIIHT and MIFI (Moscow Physics Research Institute). Discussions are ongoing for the exact methodologies, procedures and timing for the work programs required for testing of the complete cycle oflithium carbonate production.

About Pervomayskiy GOK LLC

Pervomayskiy PGOK LLC ("PGOK") is the owner of the stockpile and mill which are associated with the historic mining operations of Zabaykalskey Mining Complex (ZMC) which starting from 1942 had overseen over 60 mining projects in the Trans-Baikal Region of Russia.The ZMC main operation (the Mine) was centered around Zavitinsky Lithium deposit. A full array of infrastructure is available at the Mine site including: electricity generating power station and substation, heat and water supply, tailings storage and railways terminals.The mill is directly connected with the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The Mine was in production from 1942 through the mid 1990's, and was the Soviet Union's only active lithium mine. The Mine produced over 100,000 tonnes of lithium in concentrate form over its life span.A cut-off grade of Li?,,0 of 0.3% was set by the state for mining operations, as the primary use of lithium at that time in the Soviet Union was for military purposes and market economics were not a consideration. The mill produced concentrates of both beryllium and lithium while the mine was in production, and after the mine was closed the mill continued to process fluorite, gold, and antimony ore through to 2010 when it was put under care and maintenance due to a lack of feed material. The stockpile contains according to historic estimates approximately 19,000,000 tonnes of mineralized material grading at or below 0.3% Li?,,0, This historical estimate does not constitute a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources, Stans is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources. Stans will be confirming both the volume and grade as part of its' due diligence process.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
