Lithium Corporation and Lithium Corporation amalgamated as Lithium Corporation.
Lithium Corporation is engaged in the acquisition and development of certain
lithium interests in the state of Nevada, and battery or Tech metals prospects
in British Columbia and is currently in the exploration stage.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”
accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and
short-term instruments with maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts,
the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not
experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed
to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Such estimates include the useful life of
equipment and inputs related to the calculation of the fair value of stock
options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 —
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes
revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and
contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1)
identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations
in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the
transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5)
recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the
comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported
under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when
the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or
delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed
and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not have
any research and development costs.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the
three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not have any
advertising costs.

Income per Share
Basic income per share is computed by dividing loss
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per
share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities
only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on
earnings per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities, represented
by 3,500,000 stock options outstanding, is excluded in diluted earnings per
share by application of the “if converted” method. In the periods in which a
loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and
warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted losses per
share are the same. The Company did not have any dilutive securities for the
period ended March 31, 2026.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for
income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash,
deposits, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not
exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. Because of the short maturity and capacity of prompt
liquidation of such assets and liabilities, the fair value of these financial
instruments approximate their carrying values, unless
otherwise noted.
Investments in Marketable Securities
The Company’s Marketable Securities are considered
Held-For-Trading (“HFT”) or Trading Assets. HTF- Trading securities are valued
at their fair value when purchased/sold, and any unrealized gains or losses are
recorded periodically on financial reporting dates as other income or loss.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven
mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition
costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the
Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has
an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such
properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers
and title may be affected by undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded
on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are
present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.
Optioned Properties
Properties under the Company’s ownership which have been
optioned to a third party are deemed the Company’s property until all
obligations under an option agreement are met, at which point the ownership of
the property transfers to the third party. All non-refundable payments
received prior to all obligations under an option agreement being met are
considered liabilities until such time all obligations have been met, at which
time ownership of the property transfers to the third party and the Company
includes option payments into its statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, “Financial
Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which amends the guidance in U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles on the classification and measurement of
financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the
accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value
option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial
instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation
allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from
unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.
The Company does not expect that recent accounting
pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months
ended March 31, 2026, are of significance or potential significance to the
Company.

Note 2 – Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements,
the Company has used $163,476 (2025: $138,611) of cash in operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2026. This raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional
capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to
obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the
opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date
(an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair
value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair
value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and
liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the
disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must
be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets
and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair
value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
|
|
- |
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability
to access at the measurement date. |
|
|
- |
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g.,
interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means
(market corroborated inputs). |
|
|
- |
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability. |
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of
financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets
as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively:

Note 7 – Stock Options
On May 26, 2022, the Company granted 3,700,000 stock
options with an exercise price of $0.22, a term of 5 years and vesting
immediately. These options were vested on the date of grant and resulted in

granted to 4 related parties including officers and directors and 2,100,000
were granted to 15 consultants of the Company. Due to the continuing decline of
the company’s share price these options were repriced to $0.10 on January 24th 2023 (resulting in a stock based compensation expense of
$69,337), and again to $0.04 on Jan 11th 2024 (resulting in a stock based compensation expense of $34,827).
500,000 options were also granted to a consultant of the company priced at
$0.04 in January 2024. In Sept of 2024 100,000 stock options were cancelled, as
were a further 600,000 in November of 2025. As of March 31, 2026 no stock
options have been exercised, and none have been exercised up to and including
the date of this document.

Note 10 – Related Party Transactions
The Company paid cash consulting fees totaling $117,000
to related parties and non-cash stock option compensation expenses of $Nil to
related parties for the three months ended March 31, 2026, respectively (2025:

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies
On July 1, 2021, the Company signed a rental agreement
with a related party for office and storage space. The rental agreement is on a
month-to-month basis for a monthly fee of $500 with no escalating payments. As
the Company cannot determine the amount of time it will stay in the lease then
a lease period cannot be determined and, as such, the agreement does not fall
under ASC 842.
From time to time, we may be involved in routine legal
proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in
the normal course of our business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any,
for any claims of any type (either alone or in the aggregate) may materially
and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity. In addition, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain.
Any outcome, whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely
affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention
and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot
assure you that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies
having legal aspects will not be asserted against us in the future, and these
matters could relate to prior, current or future transactions or events. As of
March 31, 2026, there were no pending or threatened litigation against the
Company.

Note 13 – Segment Information
The Company operates as a single reporting segment
engaged in the exploration of its properties. The Chief Operating Decision
Makers are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CODM”) who evaluates company
performance based on Net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, and other non-financial measures to determine the economic viability of
the Company’s exploration properties. Assets and liabilities are not separately
analyzed or reported to the CODM and are not used to assist in decisions
surrounding resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. As such,
an analysis of segment assets and liabilities has not been included in this
financial information. The CODM uses the above measures to assess profitability
and guide resource allocations
The CODM conducts monthly financial reviews, focusing on
operational efficiency across the Company’s operations. Investment decisions,
including capital expenditures for exploration and property acquisitions, are
made based on expected return on investment and regulatory considerations in
the jurisdictions that the Company operates.

General Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada on January 30, 2007 under the name “Utalk
Communications Inc.”. At inception, we were a development stage corporation
engaged in the business of developing and marketing a call-back service using a
call-back platform. On August 31, 2009, we entered into a letter of intent with
Nevada Lithium regarding a business combination which may be effected in one of
several different ways, including an asset acquisition, merger of our company
and Nevada Lithium, or a share exchange whereby we would purchase the shares of
Nevada Lithium from its shareholders in exchange for restricted shares of our
common stock. On September 30, 2009, we changed our name from “Utalk Communications, Inc.” to “Lithium Corporation”, by
way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Corporation, which was
formed solely for the change of name. The name change
and forward stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board at the opening for trading on October 1, 2009 under the stock symbol “LTUM”.
Our CUSIP number is 536804 107.
In June 2009 we optioned the
Fish Lake Valley property in Esmeralda County Nevada, and ultimately earned a
100% interest in the property through a combination of exploration expenditures
and share issuances. Lithium Corporation performed geophysical, geochemical and
drilling work in the area into early 2016 at which time we entered into an
agreement with the forerunner of American Lithium Corporation (TSX-V:Li) who could have earned an initial 80% interest in
the property by incurring exploration expenses, making cash and share payments
over a period of three years. American Lithium relinquished all interest in the
property/option agreement in April 2019. In April 2021 the Company entered into
a Letter of Intent with Altura Mining Limited whereby Altura (now Morella
Corporation ASX:1MC, OTC-Pink: ALTAF) may earn a 60% interest in the property
by incurring exploration expenses, and making staged cash and share payments to
Lithium Corporation over the next four years. Morella Corporation is a related
company as it is the single largest shareholder in Lithium Corporation with
over 8% of the Company’s common shares, having acquired an interest through a
non-brokered private placement in our Company in 2012.

Since 2009 the Company has been actively engaged in
project generation, conducting initial exploration studies, and if warranted
staking and further exploring a number of exploration stage properties. The
most notable of these have been the San Emidio lithium-in-brine property, and
the North Big Smoky Lithium-in-brine property (currently under option to
Morella Corporation, a related company) both of which are in Nevada. The
Company has also from time to time entered into option agreements with third parties
on smaller properties and enlarged the area of these while conducting
preliminary exploration studies. The most notable of these are the BC Sugar
flake graphite prospect, and the Yeehaw Titanium/Rare Earth Element prospect,
both of which are situated in British Columbia. The Company maintains small or
modest claim positions in what we consider to be the hearts of all these
potentially prospective areas.
Effective April 23 2014, we entered into an operating
agreement with All American Resources, L.L.C. and TY & Sons Investments
Inc. with respect to Summa, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
incorporated on December 12 2013, wherein we hold 25%, and are active “Managing
Members”. Summa maintains a 100% interest in several fee title mining
properties throughout Nevada, all of which sprang out of Howard Hughes’s Hughes
Tool Company. Our company’s initial capital contribution to Summa, LLC was
$125,000, of which $100,000 was in cash and the balance in services. To date we
have contributed an additional $31,700 in cash, and also over the years an
indeterminate amount of casual geological expertise to Summa, LLC. In
recognition, Summa transferred five urban lots in Tonopah of indeterminate
value in 2020, and since Jan 2021 have issued checks to the company for
$167,500. The flagship of the Summa portfolio, the Tonopah mining property was
optioned in early 2020, and the Optionee has earned 100% interest in the
property. Summa still retains 1% (LTUM’s net share 0.25%) Net Smelter Royalty
on the property.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the
identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a
focus on lithium mineralization on properties located in Nevada, and graphite
and other “critical” metals properties in British Columbia.
Our current operational focus is to conduct generative
exploration activities in Nevada, and in British Columbia, developing
early-stage projects with an eye to joint venturing them, or attracting capital
to further explore and possibly develop these properties if results warrant. To
that end in 2024 we staked an approximately 11,068-acre (4,479 hectare) group
of claims in British Columbia which are prospective for Fluorspar
mineralization. The bulk of these claims were allowed to lapse in 2025 but certain areas were found to be prospective for Rare
Earth Elements, so some claims were kept and the claim block was expanded,
applications for more claims were made (grants still pending) and follow-up
geological and geochemical work was done. In December of 2025 the Company
optioned the property off to Ridgestone Mining Inc. (TSX.V-RMI) a related
company by virtue of a shared director/officer. Ridgestone has committed to
spend CDN $100,000 in exploration on the property in 2026. Also, in 2025 the
Company has been actively exploring for Lithium Clay mineralization along the
track of the Yellowstone Hot Spot. To date only moderately anomalous areas have
been identified, and no tenures have been staked.
In December of 2024 the Company staked 3,285.27 acres
(1329.51 hectares) of claims in three discrete locales in Southern British
Columbia that may be prospective for hosting Antimony mineralization. After
initial evaluation these properties were allowed to lapse in 2025, as was the
Three Valley Gap Tantalum-Niobium prospect that was also staked in 2024.
In March of 2022 we staked a block of claims in North Big
Smoky Valley covering approximately 3400 acres which roughly corresponds to the
lands previously held by Lithium Corporation’s former subsidiary Lithium
Royalty Corp. in 2016/2017. On May 13, 2022 we signed a Letter of Intent (LOI)
with Morella Corporation (a related party) whereby Morella could earn a 60%
interest in the property by paying $65,000 US to the Company on the signing of
the LOI, and issuing $100,000 worth of Morella shares at the time of signing
the formal agreement, and issuing $100,000 worth of shares at each anniversary
of the signing of the formal agreement over the subsequent four years.
Additionally, Morella must have incurred exploration expenditures of $100,000,
$200,000, $300,000 and $400,000 in years one through four of the option
agreement. Since Optioning the property Morella has conducted Controlled Source
Audio-Magnetotelluric geophysical and sediment
geochemical surveys, staked more claims adjacent to the original option claim
block as well as staking a non-contiguous area to the north and west of the
earlier claims here. Most recently Morella has concluded a four-hole drilling
program, testing for both lithium-in-brine and clay mineralization, where
anomalous lithium-in-clay mineralization was discovered, but no
lithium-in-brine mineralization was encountered. By letter agreement dated
September 5th, 2025 Lithium Corporation
assigned 100% interest in the entire property reserving a 3.5% Net Smelter
Royalty (NSR) on the property, and a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) to purchase
or option the property on equal terms should Morella find a purchaser or optionee
for the prospect. To date Lithium Corporation has not transferred claim
ownership to Morella, nor has Morella issued any shares with respect to its
obligations under the Sept 5th agreement.

On September 16th 2021 Lithium Corporation signed an agreement with Surge Battery Metals
whereby Surge could have earned an 80% interest in the Company’s San Emidio
lithium-in-brine prospect in Washoe County Nevada, by paying an initial $50,000
and issuing 200,000 shares of Surge (TSX-V:Nili).
Surge had undertaken to make payments of $620,000 in cash and stock over 5
years while incurring expenditures on the property of $1,000,000 over that
period. Upon fulfillment of the aforementioned commitments Surge would have
been deemed to have earned their undivided 80% interest and could have formed a
joint venture with the Company, not unlike an option the Company had entered
into on this property in May 2016, to a company that ultimately merged with
American Lithium Corp. Surge Battery Metals completed some geochemical work on
the prospect block and gave Lithium Corporation formal notice in Summer 2022
that they were relinquishing all interest in the property. In Fall 2022 the
Company completed a Controlled Source Audio-Magnetotelluric
(CSAMT) survey here and is currently seeking a joint venture partner for this
property.
On April 29, 2021 we signed a Letter Of Intent (LOI) with
Altura Mining Limited (now Morella Corporation after a name change) an
Australian Lithium explorer and developer and related party, whereby Morella
could have earned a 60% interest in the Fish Lake Valley lithium-in-brine
property in Esmeralda County, Nevada by making staged payments of $675,000,
issuing the equivalent of $500,000 worth of Morella common stock (1MC:ASX, Altaf:OTC-Pink) in annual tranches, and expending
$2,000,000 on exploration work over the following four years. Previously, in
2016 the Company had entered into an option agreement with a company that
eventually became American Lithium Corp., who conducted various geochemical and
geophysical work on the property and drilled one exploratory borehole. While
American Lithium did comply with all terms of the agreement with respect to
cash and share payments the Company received formal notice of the
relinquishment of the Purchasers right to earn an interest in the property on
April 30th, 2019. In the last few years
Morella has completed two phases of passive seismic and magnetotelluric
(MT) surveys and have received permits for drilling on both the south and
northern blocks. Preparatory work for drilling was done during the summer of
2023, and drilling commenced on an exploratory borehole in early October 2023,
to the northeast of the playa, proximal to but away from the area of known
mineralization. Only moderate mineralization was encountered in the 2023
drillhole in both clays and brines. By letter agreement dated September 5th, 2025 Lithium Corporation assigned 100% interest in the
southern and more eastern portions of the property reserving a 3.5% Net Smelter
Royalty (NSR) on the assigned property, and a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) to
purchase or option the property on equal terms should Morella find a purchaser
or optionee for the property. Lithium Corporation would retain 100% interest in
the northern portions of the property, subject to an ROFR on similar terms
mentioned earlier in favor of Morella. To date Lithium Corporation has not
transferred claim ownership awaiting Morella shareholders approval with respect
to the transfer of the final option shares, which was received on April 29,
2026.
In 2024 the Company staked a number of claims in the
Granby River Valley, north of Grand Forks BC, and a number of these lapsed in
2025, however the company discovered Rare Earth Element (REE) mineralization on
some of the remaining claims, and restaked much of
the dropped claim block along with others. On December 31, 2025 the Company
entered into an option agreement with Ridgestone Mining, Inc. (a related
company by virtue of Brian Goss our VP Exploration and a director is also the
CEO, president and a director of Ridgestone) whereby Ridgestone (OTCQB: RIGMF)
(TSXV: RMI) will pay Lithium Corporation $315,000 Cdn,
issue 500,000 common shares to the Company, and complete $600,000 Cdn in exploration expenditures over the next three years
to earn a 100% interest in the property. The optioned interest is subject to a
2.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty retained by Lithium Corporation. To date the
Company has received $5,000 Cdn and the parties are
awaiting regulatory approval, and the grant of full title of a number of claims
which are currently under the newly mandated aboriginal review.

Mineral Properties
Of our various property interests, we consider the Fish
Lake Valley Property to be our material property interest.
Fish Lake Valley Property
Lithium Corp’s flagship property is the Fish Lake Valley
Project that is a lithium brine prospect - similar to the salars
of Chile & Peru, and more importantly Albemarle’s Silver Peak
lithium-in-brine facility in Clayton Valley Nevada, which is only approximately
25 miles to the southeast of our property. For decades Silver Peak has been the
only lithium producing facility in North America. Production commenced at
Silver Peak in 1966, and they have been producing lithium carbonate from brines
on a continuous basis since. Lithium Corp’s Fish Lake Valley Project is in a
highly analogous geologic setting and geothermal regime to Clayton Valley.
Fish Lake Valley Project in Esmeralda County, Nevada,
west central Nevada USA consists of Lithium Corp’s 100% owned 297 placer claims
totaling 10,972 acres (4,440 hectares). The prospect is a
lithium/boron/potassium enriched playa (also known as a salar,
salt marsh, or salt pan), with the area of greatest interest roughly centered
at 417000E 4195550N (WGS 84). approximately 18 miles from the California
border.
Map 1, Fish Lake Valley Project claim outline.

It is roughly 37 miles to the west-southwest of Tonopah
Nevada, 37 miles north-northeast of Bishop California, and 174 miles to the
northwest of Las Vegas Nevada, the largest population center in the region.
Using the Public Land Survey System, the center of the property is Township 1S,
Range 36E, Section 11, Mount Diablo Meridian.
Fish Lake Valley has not had mining production in the
most recent three fiscal years although the property was developed as a borate
producer in the late 1860’s, with the earliest record of production in 1873.
Production by 1875 was in the order of 2 tons (1.814 tonnes) of concentrated
borax daily. Operations ceased sometime prior to the 1900’s and there is no
record of any further activity or exploration until the 1970’s, when interest
in lithium brines was high due to the discovery and eventual development of the
Silver Peak deposit in nearby Clayton Valley. During the 1970’s the USGS
conducted some lithium focused exploration in the general area and drilled
several holes on the periphery of the playa. During the 1980’s US Borax
discovered the Cave Springs boron/lithium clay deposits which are several
kilometers to the east of the Fish Lake Valley playa. These deposits were
called the Borate Hills and were being explored during 2011 by American Lithium
Minerals, Inc. in a joint venture with Japan Oil and Gas (JOGMEC). Recently the
property has been renamed as the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project that is
currently being developed by an Australian explorer, Ioneer
Limited.

While Fish Lake Valley has seen sporadic exploration
since the 1970’s no modern processing facilities exist in Fish Lake Valley. The
ruins from Francis “Borax” Smith’s Pacific Borax plant
on the west side of the playa at Fish Lake Valley dating to the 1870’s are
still visible here, as are the dumps, and some scattered equipment from one of
his later ventures on the south end of the playa.
The property was originally held under a mining lease
purchase agreement dated June 1, 2009, between Nevada Lithium Corporation, and
Nevada Alaska Mining Co. Inc., Robert Craig, Barbara Craig, and Elizabeth
Dickman. Nevada Lithium issued to the vendors $350,000 worth of common stock of
our company in eight regular disbursements. All disbursements were made of
stock worth a total of $350,000, and claim ownership was transferred to our
company.
The geological setting at Fish Lake Valley is highly
analogous to the salars of Chile, Bolivia, and Peru,
and more importantly Clayton Valley, where Albemarle has its Silver Peak
lithium-brine operation. Lithium-enriched Tertiary-era Fish Lake formation
rhyolitic tuffs or ash flow tuffs have accumulated in a valley or basinal environment. Over time interstitial formational
waters in contact with these tuffs, have become enriched in lithium, boron and
potassium which could possibly be economic, and amenable to production by
evaporative or direct lithium extraction (DLE) methods.
Access is excellent in Fish Lake Valley with all-weather
gravel roads leading to the property from state highways 264, and 265, and
maintained dirt roads ring the playa. Power is available approximately 10 miles
from the property, and the village of Dyer is approximately 12 miles to the
south, while the town of Tonopah, Nevada is approximately 50 miles to the east.
The infrastructure is excellent in the general area of the Fish Lake Valley
prospect. Power is available along highway 264 which runs north to south some 8
miles to the west of the property. The capacity of the line is unknown however
it does appear on government issued maps as being equal to or greater than 55
kilovolts to the south of the village of Dyer. There are defined geothermal
resources around the prospect. Should lithium production be established in the
valley it may present an opportunity to the company who originally defined
these geothermal resources to continue to the development stage. Abundant fresh
water is available in the valley to the south of the northern playa. Most
supplies are available in Tonopah which is approximately 75 miles by road from
the property. Also, sufficient manpower is available in the region, and some
personnel exist locally with training specific to lithium brine processing due
to the proximity of the property to Albemarle’s Silver Peak operation. The
property does have patchy cell phone service from two different providers. Las
Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport is 249 miles by road to the southeast
of the property, while Reno-Tahoe International Airport is 213 miles by road to
the northwest, and Elko (which is an important mining supply center) is
approximately 334 miles by road from the property. The playa or claim block
area should be large enough to accommodate a production facility like that
found at Silver Peak, and there are several potential processing plant sites in
the area.
Our company completed a number of geochemical and
geophysical studies on the property and conducted a short drill program on the
periphery of the playa in the fall of 2010. Near-surface brine sampling during
the spring of 2011 outlined a boron/lithium/potassium anomaly on the northern
portions of the northern playa, that is roughly 1.3 x 2 miles long, which has a
smaller higher grade core where lithium mineralization ranges from 100 to 150
mg/L (average 122.5 mg/L), with boron ranging from 1,500 to 2,670 mg/L (average
2,219 mg/L), and potassium from 5,400 to 8,400 mg/L (average 7,030 mg/L). Wet
conditions on the playa precluded drilling there in 2011, and for a good
portion of 2012, however a window of opportunity presented itself in late fall
2012. In November/December 2012 we conducted a short direct push drill program
on the northern end of the playa, wherein a total of 1,240.58 feet (378.09
meters) was drilled in 20 holes at 17 discrete sites, and an area of 3,356 feet
(1,023 meters) by 2,776 feet (846 meters) was systematically explored by grid
probing. The deepest hole was 81 feet (24.69 meters), and the shallowest hole
that produced brine was 34 feet (10.36 meters). The average depth of the holes
drilled during the program was 62 feet (18.90 meters). The program successfully
demonstrated that lithium-boron-potassium-enriched brines exist to at least 62
feet (18.9 meters) depth in sandy or silty aquifers that vary from
approximately three to ten feet (one to three meters) in thickness. Average
lithium, boron and potassium contents of all samples are 47.05 mg/L, 992.7
mg/L, and 0.535% respectively, with lithium values ranging from 7.6 mg/L to
151.3 mg/L, boron ranging from 146 to 2,160.7 mg/L, and potassium ranging from
0.1 to 1.3%. The anomaly outlined by the program is 1,476 by 2,461 feet (450
meters by 750 meters), and is not fully delimited, as the area available for
probing was restricted due to soft ground conditions to the east and to the
south. A 50 mg/L lithium cutoff is used to define this anomaly and within this
zone average lithium, boron and potassium contents are 90.97 mg/L, 1,532.92
mg/L, and 0.88% respectively. On September 3, 2013, we announced that drilling
had commenced at Fish Lake Valley. Due to storms and wet conditions in the area
that our company had hoped to concentrate on, the playa was not passable, and
so the program concentrated on larger step-out drilling well off the playa.
This 11-hole, 1,025-foot program did prove that shallow mineralization does not
extend much, if at all, past the margins of the playa, as none of the fluids
encountered in this program were particularly briny, and returned values of
less than 5 mg/L lithium. Results from the work done in the past by Lithium
Corporation has been very positive, and our company believes that the playa at
Fish Lake Valley may be conducive to the formation of a “Silver Peak” style
lithium brine deposit.

Early in 2016 the company signed an Exploration Earn-In
Agreement with 1032701 B.C. Ltd., a private British Columbia company with
respect to our Fish Lake Valley lithium brine property, wherein 1032701 B.C.
Ltd., could have acquired an initial 80% undivided interest in the Fish Lake
Valley property through the payment of an aggregate of US$300,000 in cash,
completing a “Going Public Transaction” on or before May 6, 2016, and subject
to the completion of the “Going Public Transaction, arranging for the issuance
of a total of 400,000 common shares in the capital of the resulting issuer. The
Optionee needed to 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 good standing before fully earning their 80% interest. Additionally,
after the initial earn-in the Optionee had the right for up to 12 months to
purchase our 20% interest in the property for $1,000,000, at which point our
interest would have reverted to a 2 1/2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR). The
Optionee could then have elected at any time to purchase one half (1.25%) of
our NSR for $1,000,000.
American Lithium Corp. subsequently acquired 100% of
1032701 BC, and a formal option agreement was entered into, effective March 31,
2016. An amendment to the agreement was entered into on the 14th of February 2018 whereby American Lithium issued 10,000
post consolidation “Agreement Year” shares to Lithium Corporation as mandated
by the agreement, as well as a further 80,000 shares in consideration for
Lithium Corporation agreeing to extend the work commitment date for Year 2 of
the agreement to September 30, 2018. We had received all money, and common
shares issuable in relation to the Fish Lake Valley option agreement, but the
Purchaser issued formal notice of the relinquishment of the Purchasers right to
earn the interest in the property on April 30th 2019. As this was the termination of the option
agreement $443,308 was taken into income. During the year-ended December 31,
2019, the Company recorded a $159,859 allowance for the properties and has a
net book value of $Nil.
On April 29, 2021 we signed a Letter Of Intent (LOI) with
Altura Mining Limited (now Morella Corporation after a name change), an
Australian Lithium explorer and developer and a related party, whereby Morella
can earn a 60% interest in the Fish Lake Valley lithium-in-brine property in
Esmeralda County, Nevada by paying the Company $675,000, issuing the equivalent
of $500,000 worth of Morella stock, and expending $2,000,000 of exploration
work over the next four years. To date Morella is current with its obligations
under the formal agreement ratified on October 12th 2021, having paid the
initial $50,000 on signing the LOI, the $100,000 due on signing the formal
agreement, and all anniversary payments since, and has issued a total of
55,560,526 shares of Morella (1MC:ASX, Altaf:OTC-QB)
common stock to date. Morella has completed Passive Seismic and
Magneto-telluric surveys, have permitted 8 drill sites, installed surface
casing on the first site on the southern block, while conducting ongoing tests
for amenability to direct lithium extraction (DLE). Drilling commenced in early
October 2023, to the northeast of the playa, proximal to but away from the area
of known mineralization. Only moderate lithium mineralization was encountered
in the 2023 drillhole in both clays and brines.
In addition to the cash and share payments under the
Option Agreement, Morella is to perform and exploration and development work on
the property in the value of:
Year 1:
$200,000
Year 2:
$400,000
Year 3:
$600,000
Year 4:
$800,000
Under the Option Agreement Morella is the operator of the
Fish Lake Valley Project and is responsible for all exploration efforts. Fish
Lake Valley Project is an early-stage exploration property and is currently
permitted under a BLM Notice of Intent (NOI) level permit. This permit limits
surface disturbance to 5 acres or less.

There is no
equipment currently on the property as drilling operations are not active now
and as earlier mentioned no facilities have been built on the property.
As there is no plant or other mineral processing
equipment on the property and as such no book value is assigned for processing
plants or equipment, and as exploration expenditures are expensed rather than
accrued the current book value of the Fish Lake Valley Project as reported on
Lithium Corporation’s financial statements is zero.
Since Lithium
Corporation’s optioning of the property in 2009 the following work has been
conducted on the property:
|
|
· |
Surficial sediment sampling – 49 grid sediment samples
were collected, and a further 32 sediment samples from discrete points on the
property in 2009 and early 2010. |
|
|

Approximately $25 million dollars has been spent on
geothermal exploration in the general area (personal communication J. Demonyaz) since the 1980’s, and in the early decades of the
1900’s two deep oil exploration holes were drilled immediately to the
west-southwest of the claim area, both of which were not properly plugged and
abandoned, and currently flow warm geothermal waters from a known aquifer at
about 800-foot depth. Some of this data exists in the public domain.
By letter agreement dated September 5th, 2025 Lithium Corporation assigned 100% interest in the
southern and more eastern portions of the property reserving a 3.5% Net Smelter
Royalty (NSR) on the assigned property, and a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) to
purchase or option the property on equal terms should Morella find a purchaser
or optionee for the property. Lithium Corporation would retain 100% interest in
the northern portions of the property, subject to an ROFR on similar terms as
above in favor of Morella. Currently the land position is comprised of Lithium
Corporation’s twenty-eight 100% owned 80-acre placer claims totaling 2,220
acres (898 hectares), and a 3.5% Net Smelter Royalty on a mix of 20- and
80-acre placer claims held by Morella Corporation totaling 3,833.64 acres
(1551.45 hectares). To date Lithium Corporation has conducted a one claim test
of quit-claiming of ownership title in favor of Morella. Although they have
recently completed the requisite regulatory filings Morella has not to date
issued any shares with respect to its obligations under the Sept 5th agreement, informally amended in March 2026 whereby
Morella will issue the Company a single tranche of 4,000,000 shares to fully
satisfy their obligations under the Fish Lake Valley option agreement.
Shareholder approval of the issuance of these option shares was received on
April 29, 2026.
San Emidio Property
The San Emidio property, located in Washoe County in
northwestern Nevada, was acquired through the staking of claims in September
2011, and has expanded and contracted over time depending on the state of the
lithium carbonate market. Currently the Company holds thirty-five 80-acre
Association Placer claims here covering an area of approximately 2,800 acres
(1133 hectares). The property is approximately 65 miles north-northeast of
Reno, Nevada, and has excellent infrastructure.
We identified this prospect during 2009, and 2010 through
surficial geochemical sampling, and geological interpretation. The early
reconnaissance sampling determined that anomalous values for lithium occur in
sediments over a good portion of the playa. Our company conducted near-surface
brine sampling in the spring of 2011, and a high resolution gravity geophysical
survey in summer/fall 2011. Our company then permitted a seven-hole drilling
program with the Bureau of Land Management in late fall 2011, and a direct push
drill campaign commenced in early February 2012. Drilling here delineated a
narrow elongated shallow brine anomaly which is greater than 2.5 miles length,
somewhat distal to the basinal feature outlined by
the earlier gravity survey. The anomaly aligns with the present day
topographical low in the valley, which could be the result of extension along a
north-easterly trending fault. Two values of over 20 milligrams/liter lithium
were obtained from two shallow direct push probe holes located centrally in
this brine anomaly.
We drilled this prospect again in late October 2012,
further testing the area of the property in the vicinity where prior
exploration by our company discovered elevated lithium levels in subsurface
brines. During the Fall 2012 program a total of 856 feet (260.89 meters) was
drilled at 8 discrete sites. The deepest hole was 160 feet (48.76 meters), and
the shallowest hole that produced brine was 90 feet (27.43 meters). The average
depth of the seven hole program was 107 feet (32.61 meters). The program better
defined the lithium-in-brine anomaly that was discovered in early 2012. This
anomaly is approximately 0.6 miles (370 meters) wide at its widest point by
more than 2 miles (3 kilometers) long. The peak value seen within the anomaly
is 23.7 mg/l lithium, which is 10 to 20 times background levels outside the
anomaly. Our company believes that much like Fish Lake Valley, the playa at San
Emidio may be conducive to the formation of a “Silver Peak” style lithium brine
deposit, and the recent drilling indicates that the anomaly occurs at or near
the intersection of several faults that may have provided the structural
setting necessary for the formation of a lithium-in-brine deposit at depth.

Our company entered into an exploration earn-in agreement
on the property on May 3, 2016 with 1067323 B.C. Ltd., wherein the Optionee was
to pay an initial $100,000 and issue 100,000 shares within 30 days of a “Going
Public Transaction”. 1067323 subsequently merged with American Lithium Corp.,
who then assumed the duties of the Optionee, and fulfilled the initial
obligations. The further terms of the agreement were that American Lithium was
to issue 100,000 shares to Lithium Corporation on or before both the first
& second anniversaries of the going public transaction. Additionally
American Lithium was to conduct $100,000 exploration work in year 1, $200,000
in year 2, and $300,000 in year 3. On fulfillment of all its obligations American
Lithium would have earned an 80% interest in the property. The Optionee also
had the option to earn a further 20% interest in the property by paying
$1,000,000 to the company within 36 months of the exercise of the initial
earn-in. If American Lithium had exercised its right with respect to the
subsequent earn-in then Lithium Corporation’s interest
would have reverted to a 2.5% Net Smelter Revenue (NSR) interest. American
Lithium then could have purchased one half of the NSR (1.25%) for $1,000,000 at
any time thereafter. In June 2018, the Company received notification that the
purchaser was relinquishing any right to earn an interest in the property and,
as such, $202,901 was taken into income. During the year-ended December 31,
2019, the Company recorded a $217,668 allowance for the property which then had
a net book value of $Nil.
On September 16th 2021 Lithium Corporation signed an agreement with Surge Battery Metals
whereby Surge may earn an 80% interest in the Company’s San Emidio
lithium-in-brine prospect in Washoe County Nevada, by paying an initial $50,000
and issuing 200,000 shares of Surge (TSX-V:Nili).
Surge had undertaken to make payments of $620,000 in cash and stock over 5
years while incurring expenditures on the property of $1,000,000 over that
period. Upon fulfillment of the aforementioned commitments Surge would have
been deemed to have earned their undivided 80% interest and could have formed a
joint venture with the Company. Surge Battery Metals completed some geochemical
work on the prospect block and gave Lithium Corporation formal notice in Summer
2022 that they were relinquishing all interest in the property. In Fall 2022
the Company completed a Controlled Source Audio-Magnetotelluric
(CSAMT) survey on the property and is currently actively searching for a Joint
Venture Partner for this prospect.
BC Sugar Flake Graphite Property
On June 6, 2013, we entered into a mining claim sale
agreement the owner agreed to sell to our company a 50.829 acre (20.57 hectare)
claim located in the Cherryville area of British Columbia. As consideration for
the purchase of the property, we issued 250,000 shares of our company’s common
stock to the owner. In addition to the acquired claim, our company staked or
acquired another 13 claims at various times over the subsequent months, to
bring the total area held under tenure to approximately 19,816 acres (8,020
hectares). Since that time the company has let all but
what appears to be the most prospective claims lapse, and currently the company
holds two titles here for a cumulative total of 152.39 acres (61.67 hectares).
The flake graphite mineralization of interest here is hosted predominately in
graphitic quartz/biotite, and lesser graphitic calc-silicate gneisses. The
rocks and mineralization in the general area of the BC Sugar prospect are
similar to the host rocks in the area of the Crystal Graphite deposit 55 miles
(90 kms) to the southeast that has been mined intermittently since the early
2000’s by Eagle Graphite.
The BC Sugar property is within the Shushwap
Metamorphic Complex, in a geological environment favorable for the formation of
flake graphite deposits, and is in an area of excellent logistics and
infrastructure, with a considerable network of logging roads within the project
area. Additionally the town of Lumby is approximately
19 miles (30 kms) to the south of the property, while the City of Vernon is
only 30 miles (50 kms) to the southwest of the western portions of the claim
block.
Work progressed, and the property expanded throughout the
summer of 2013, and culminated with the receipt of the final assays from the
last phases of the prospecting and geological program in December of 2013. That
work increased the area known to be underlain by graphitic bearing gneisses,
and further evaluations were made in the area of the Sugar Lake, Weather
Station, and Taylor Creek showings. In the general vicinity of the Weather
Station showing that was initially discovered in early July 2013, a further 13
samples were taken, and hand trenching was performed at one of several outcrops
in the area. In the trench a 5.2 meter interval returned an average of 3.14%
graphitic carbon, all in an oxidized relatively friable gneissic host rock. Additionally a hydrothermal or vein type mineralized
graphitic quartz boulder was discovered in the area which graded up to 4.19%
graphitic carbon. The source of this boulder was not discovered during this
program, but it is felt to be close to its point of origin. Samples
representative of the mineralization encountered here were taken for
petrographic study, which was received in late 2013. A brief assessment work
program was performed in September 2014 to ensure all claims in the package
were in good standing prior to the anticipated sale of this asset to Pathion Inc. Recommendations were made by the consulting
geologist who wrote the assessment report with respect to trenching, and
eventually drilling the Weather Station showing. Our company submitted a Notice
of Work to the BC Government in early May 2015 to enable our company to conduct
a program of excavator trenching, sampling and geological mapping on the
Weather Station showing. In May of 2015 we signed an agreement with KLM
Geosciences LLC of Las Vegas to conduct a short Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
survey on the property in the Weather Station – Taylor Creek areas. The GPR
survey as well as a GEM-2 frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) survey took
place in approximately mid-May 2015. The GPR survey did not provide useful data
because of the moisture saturation in the shallow subsurface. The FDEM survey
successfully generated an anomaly over known mineralization and possibly
indicates that the mineralization may extend both to the west and to the east
in areas blanketed by glaciofluvial till.

In August of 2015 our Notice of Work for trenching was
approved by the BC Government and in October we commenced work. A trench of
265.76 feet (81 meters) was excavated and graphitic
gneiss was mapped and sampled. In all 23 samples were taken over the 69 meters
of exposed mineralization that could be safely sampled. Trench depths varied
from 1.2 meters in areas of semi-consolidated rock to 4.8 meters in areas of
mainly decomposed material. There was an approximately 12 meter section of the
trench of sand, and fluvial till in an ancient stream bed where the excavator
could not reach the graphitic material that is inferred to exist at depths
greater than 5 meters. Also there was a 4 meter
section at depths from 4.8 to 5 meters where graphite mineralization could be
seen at depth, but could not be safely sampled.
The entire 69 meter interval that was sampled averaged
1.997% graphitic carbon, and mineralization remains open in all directions.
Within that interval there was a 30 meter section that averaged 2.73% graphitic
carbon, and within that interval there was a 12 meter section that averaged
2.99% graphitic carbon. The best mineralization, and most friable material is
proximal to the aforementioned abandoned creek channel, and it appears that
proximity to this feature gave rise to the deep weathering profile encountered
here. Determining the tenor, and extent of the friable material were the two
major objectives of this program as this material, which is very similar to
that mined at Eagle Graphite’s operation is very easy/economical to be mined
and processed, and typically contains the highest percentages of graphite over
consistent widths.
A “mini-bulk sample” was taken from the Weather Station
Zone in October 2017, and submitted to SGS Vancouver for preliminary bench
tests, and further petrographic analysis. Tests indicated that the “fairly
coarse” flake graphite was easily liberated from the unconsolidated host
material, and initial flotation tests were positive with over 80% of the
graphite in the sample being floated off.
The Company revised its trenching permit in 2017 and
conducted a program of 12 mechanized test pits in May 2018. This work was done
in an area ranging from 1 to 1.5 kilometers to the east of the Weather Station
Zone in a zone of numerous discrete conductors detected during the 2015 FDEM
geophysical survey. Three of these pits intercepted weathered weak to
moderately mineralized graphitic material with the best assay being 2.62%
graphitic, carbon, and six test pits bottomed in non-mineralized bedrock. The
remaining three did not reach bedrock or intercept graphitic material prior to
reaching the maximum digging capability of the excavating equipment used. The
Company had reduced its acreage holdings here to approximately 203 acres (82
hectares) to facilitate applying 5 years assessment credit to the most
prospective area of the property, and had placed it on the “back burner” in
favor of developing other prospects. The Company is currently in the planning
stages with respect to the work to be done on these prospects this summer.
The Hughes Claims
Effective April 23, 2014, we entered into an operating
agreement with All American Resources, LLC and TY & Sons Investments Inc.
with respect to Summa, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company incorporated on
December 12, 2013. Through our 25% membership interest in Summa
we hold an indirect interest in a number of patented mining claims that spring
from the once considerable mineral holdings of Howard Hughes’s Summa Corp. Our
company’s capital contribution paid to Summa, LLC was $125,000, of which
$100,000 was in cash and the balance in services.
Lithium Corporation participated in the formation of
Summa, which holds 88 fee-title patented lode claims that cover approximately
1,191.3 acres of prospective mineral lands. Our company signed a joint
operating agreement with the other participants in Spring 2014 to govern the
conduct of Summa, and the development of the lands. Our company’s President Tom
Lewis was named as a managing member of Summa, and as such has a direct say in
the day to day operations of that company.

The Hughes lands are situated in six discrete prospect
areas in Nevada, the most notable of which being the Tonopah block in Nye
County where Summa holds 56 claims that cover approximately 770 acres in the
heart of the historic mining camp where over 1.8 million ounces of gold and 174
million ounces of silver were produced predominately in the early 1900’s. The
Hughes claims include a number of the prolific past producers in Tonopah, such
as the Belmont, the Desert Queen, and the Midway mines. In addition
there are also claims in the area of the past producing Klondyke
East mining district, which is to the south of Tonopah, and at the town of
Belmont (not to be confused with the Belmont claim in Tonopah), Nevada, another
notable silver producer from the 1800’s, which is roughly 40 miles to the
northeast of Tonopah.
The ongoing litigation with respect to Summa’s Tonopah
holdings had precluded investing time or money into the property immediately
after the court awarded Summa ownership in 2013, however in 2018 Summa won a “quiet
title” case in the Fifth Judicial Court in Tonopah, which determined that Summa’s
title is superior to all other claimants. The subsequent appeal of this verdict
was quashed later in 2018, and there has been no further action on that
account. Summa signed a Letter of Intent on January 14, 2020 with respect to
the Tonopah property whereby 1237025 BC Ltd, can earn a 100% interest in the
property (subject to a 1.0% Net Smelter Royalty or NSR) by paying $400,000 in
cash, issuing $400,000 in shares, and incurring $1.5 million in exploration
expenditures in stages over the next 5 years. The Optionee would also have the
right to purchase ¼ of the NSR for $1,500,000, and the future right to purchase
a further ¼ of the NSR for $2,500,000. The definitive agreement was signed in
March of 2020, and 1237025 BC Ltd subsequently merged with Pinnacle North Gold
Corp., who then changed their name to Summa Silver Corp (SSVR). SSVR actively
explored the property in the second half of 2020, drilling roughly 14,000
meters in 29 drill holes. Additionally more work was
performed on the Belmont tailings portion of the project aided by Lithium
Corporation personnel, who have been actively promoting and advancing this
aspect of the Tonopah holdings since acquisition. In 2021 SSVR accelerated the
earn-in provisions of the option agreement and was transferred a 100% interest
in the property. Summa still retains a 1% (LTUM’s share 0.25%) Net Smelter
Royalty on the property.
Summa, LLC still retains a 100% interest (subject to a 2%
NSR in favor of Summa Corp. (the successor entity to the Hughes Corporation) in
a further five project areas in the state of Nevada, and Lithium Corporation
remains committed to casually helping them move the projects along so that they
may be optioned eventually.
North Big Smoky Property
During the period 2011 through 2012 the Company conducted
geophysical, and geochemical work on BLM lands in North Big Smoky Valley, Nye
County Nevada, in an area that proved to be geochemically anomalous, both in
sediment and brines. The geological setting in this area is quite similar to
that at our other brine prospects, and Clayton Valley to the southwest of here,
and had experienced some geothermal and petroleum exploration in the past. In
April of 2016 Lithium Royalty Corp (a wholly owned subsidiary through which we
had planned to build a portfolio of lithium mineral properties) acquired
through staking the North Big Smoky Prospect, a block of placer mineral claims
in Nye County Nevada. On May 13, 2016 our wholly owned subsidiary sold 100% of
the interest in the property to 1069934 Nevada Ltd. (“Purchaser”) a private
company. Consideration paid to Lithium Royalty Corp. consisted of mainly of
300,000 shares in the “Purchaser Parent”, 1069934 B.C. Ltd, and retained a
royalty on the property. No appreciable work was done and by agreement dated
September 13, 2017 Lithium Corporation agreed to sell back the shares of
1069934 Nevada Ltd. to San Antone Minerals Corp (successor corporation) who
subsequently allowed the claims here to lapse.
This area was subsequently re-staked by Lithium
Corporation in March 2022, and on April 29, 2021 we signed a Letter Of Intent
(LOI) with an Australian Lithium explorer and developer Altura Mining Limited a
related party. Under the formal agreement which was signed in October 2021
Altura (now Morella Corp) can earn a 60% interest in the Fish Lake Valley
property by paying the Company $675,000, issuing the equivalent of $500,000
worth of Morella stock, and expending $2,000,000 of exploration work in the next
four years. Morella has conducted a sediment geochemistry program, and several
geophysical surveys on a phased basis on the property. Drilling was conducted
in 2023 with moderate lithium in clay mineralization having been uncovered in
the course of the first two-hole program. By letter agreement dated September 5th, 2025 Lithium Corporation assigned 100% interest in the
entire property reserving a 3.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR), and a Right of
First Refusal (ROFR) to purchase or option the property on equal terms should
Morella find a purchaser or optionee for the property. To date Lithium
Corporation has not transferred claim ownership to Morella, and although they
have recently completed the requisite regulatory filings Morella has not to
date issued any shares with respect to its obligations under the Sept 5th agreement, informally amended in March 2026 whereby
Morella will issue the Company a single tranche of 4,000,000 shares to fully
satisfy their obligations under the Big Smoky Valley option agreement.
Shareholder approval of the issuance of these option shares was received on
April 29, 2026.

British Columbia Properties
On March 1st 2017 the company signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Bormal
Resources Inc. wherein the company may earn an interest in three properties in
British Columbia. The Michael property in the Trail Creek Mining Division was
originally staked by Bormal to cover one of the most
compelling tantalum (Ta) in stream sediment anomalies as seen in the government
RGS database in British Columbia. Bormal conducted a
stream sediment sampling program in 2014, and determined that the
tantalum-niobium (Nb) in stream sediment anomaly is bona fide, and in the order
of 6 kilometers in length. In November of 2016 Lithium Corporation conducted a
short soil geochemical orientation program on the property as part of its due
diligence, and determined that there are elevated levels of niobium-tantalum in
soils here.
Also in the general area
of the Michael property the Yeehaw prospect has been staked by Bormal over a similar but lower amplitude Tantalum/Rare
Earth Element (REE’s) stream sediment anomaly. Both properties are situated
depicted on government geological maps as being within the Eocene Coryell
batholith, and it is thought that these anomalies may arise from either
carbonatite or pegmatite type deposits.
The third property at Three Valley Gap, is in the
Revelstoke Mining Division and is situated in a locale where several Nb-Ta
enriched carbonatites have been noted to occur. A brief field program by Bormal in 2015 located one of these carbonatites, and
concurrent soil sampling determined that the soils here are enriched with Nb-Ta
over the known carbonatite, and indicated that there are other geochemical
anomalies locally that may indicate that more carbonatites exist here and are
shallowly buried.
Lithium Corporation conducted fieldwork on the Michael,
and Yeehaw properties during summer 2017. At Yeehaw a 30 meter wide structure
was discovered that is anomalous for titanium and Rare Earth Elements, while
soil sampling at Michael detected an anomaly that is greater than 800 meters in
length that exhibits increased Tantalum-Niobium plus Rare Earth Element
mineralization. The Company has dropped any further interest in both the
Michael and Three Valley Gap properties, and has earned its 100% interest in
the Yeehaw property. Field work on the Yeehaw property in Spring 2018
discovered a further zone of Ti/REE enrichment, and additional work was
performed on the property in 2019 which extended the known strike of the
Horseshoe Bend showing approximately 50 meters to the west, and mineralized
float was found that possibly indicates it could continue to the east for
another several hundred meters. The Company is currently in the planning stages
for field season 2026.
Property Internal Controls
All material properties that Lithium Corporation controls
are in the exploration stage and the Company or its Optionors are not
estimating mineral resource or reserves on the Company’s properties at this
time. The company is a prospect generator and conducts early stage exploration
level operations. During prospect generation and regional exploration, the
Company does not have a formal internal QA/QC program although we do follow chain
of custody (CoC) procedures and use accredited assay labs for analysis. Chain
of Custody procedures we follow involve the geologist taking the samples
oversees the samples personally until that geologist submits the samples to the
appropriate accredited laboratory for analysis. Laboratory accreditation is
typically ISO certified. ISO certification is a seal of approval from a third
party body that a company runs to one of the international standards developed
and published by the International Organization for Standardization.
Exploration programs on the Company’s material property
up until the end of this quarter were conducted by, or the responsibility of
Optionors. The company does not control the QA/QC procedures instituted by the
Optionors and periodically may receive technical updates from Optionors that describe
the QA/QC procedures although the Company does not have input over the QA/QC
procedures used.
Additionally Lithium Corporation
continues its generative program exploring for new deposits of next generation
battery or Tech related materials.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to the Three
Months Ended March 31, 2025
We had net loss of $252,785 for the three month period
ended March 31, 2026, which was $28,862 more than the net loss of $223,923 for
the three month period ended March 31, 2025. The change in our results over the
two periods is primarily the result of an increase in consulting fees,
exploration expense and change in fair value of marketable securities.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the three
months ended March 31, 2026 was $163,476, an increase of $24,865 from the
$138,611 net cash outflow during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Investing Activities
The Company did not have investing activities in the
current and comparative periods.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities during the three
months ended March 31, 2026 was $3,613 as compared to $Nil in cash provided by
financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
We estimate that our operating expenses and working
capital requirements for the next 12 months to be as follows:

To date we have relied on proceeds from the sale of our
shares in order to sustain our basic, minimum operating expenses; however, we
cannot guarantee that we will secure any further sales of our shares or that
our sole officer and/or directors will provide us with any future loans. We
estimate that the cost of maintaining basic corporate operations (which
includes the cost of satisfying our public reporting obligations) will be
approximately $5,000 per month. Due to our current cash position of approximately
$2,321,341 as of March 31, 2026, we estimate that we do have sufficient cash to
sustain our basic operations for the next twelve months.
We are not aware of any known trends, demands,
commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably
likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Equity Financings
On January 25, 2021 we entered into a purchase agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”), and a registration rights agreement, (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”),
pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $10,300,000 of
the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”).
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold,
and Lincoln Park purchased, 380,952 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price
of $160,000 (“Original Purchase”), and then another 357,995 shares (“Initial
Purchase”) for $150,000 after SEC approval of the S-1 document in April
2021. Due to our low share price at the beginning of 2024 the Company ceased
using this source of funding, and this arrangement ended in April of 2024, with
Lithium Corporation having issued a total of 22,979,458 shares for
$4,101,888.15.

Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our
common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of
additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There
is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity
securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business
activities.
While we are always examining all possible opportunities
to fund the Company on a prudent and cautious basis, we currently have no
arrangement for future financings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or
are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, and capital expenditures or capital resources that are
material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Exploration Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to
accounting and reporting by exploration stage companies. An exploration stage
company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if
its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there
from.
Accounting Basis
Our company uses the accrual basis of accounting and
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”
accounting). Our company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and
short-term instruments with maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Our company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts,
the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Our company
continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not
experienced any losses in such accounts. Our company believes we are not
exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Our company has yet to realize revenues from operations.
Once our company has commenced operations, we will recognize revenues when
delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is
persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its
customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated
terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.

Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per
share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities
only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on
earnings per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected
in diluted earnings per share by application of the “if converted” method. In
the periods in which a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of
shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic
and diluted losses per share are the same. The Company did not have any
dilutive securities for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for
income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
Financial Instruments
Our company’s financial instruments consist of cash,
deposits, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that our company is not
exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. Because of the short maturity and capacity of prompt
liquidation of such assets and liabilities, the fair value of these financial
instruments approximate their carrying values, unless
otherwise noted.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven
mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition
costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although our
company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has
an interest, these procedures do not guarantee our company’s title. Such
properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers
and title may be affected by undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded
on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are
present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. Impairment of $0 and $0 was
recorded during the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, “Financial
Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which amends the guidance in U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles on the classification and measurement of
financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the
accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value
option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial
instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation
allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from
unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is
effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15,
2017, and are to be adopted by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the
balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the
guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision
to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value
option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive
income. Our company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this
standard.
