(TSXV: AAL.H) ("Advantage") whereby Advantage can earn working interests in five of the Company's lithium exploration projects located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Advantage will also be granted an option to acquire State of Nevada water right Permit 44411 (the "Permit") by assuming the Company's financial obligations related to its option to purchase the Permit.
"We are pleased to welcome Advantage Lithium Corp. to Nevada in the search for new North American lithium brine deposits," said Warren Stanyer, President and CEO of Nevada Sunrise. "The Advantage team has a proven track record both in exploration and finance, and we look forward to the upcoming exploration on our Nevada lithium properties, all of which have strong potential for discovery."
In addition to a CDN$100,000 cash deposit received in June 2016, at closing Nevada Sunrise received CDN$500,000 cash and 2,071,447 common shares of Advantage, with the share issuance representing 4.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Advantage. All securities issued by Advantage are subject to a four-month hold period. 75% of the Advantage shares issued to the Company are subject to additional hold periods, which provides for the release of the shares in three equal tranches, 12, 18 and 24 months from closing.

The option of the Permit and the right to earn an interest in the Neptune property will be governed by further agreements to be settled among Nevada Sunrise, Advantage, and the water right vendor (with regard to the Permit) and Resolve Ventures Inc.
