Argentina Lithium Engages Market One Media Group for Marketing Contract

• Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. entered into a 12-month media services contract with Market One Media Group Inc. on May 19, 2026.
• The agreement value is $170,000 plus applicable taxes for marketing and lead generation services.
• Services include tailored marketing programs, BNN Bloomberg interviews, editorial content, and online video services.
• Compensation terms are cash-only; no common shares or options were issued as compensation to the contractor.
• The agreement is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

• The news represents a standard operational expense for investor relations and corporate marketing rather than a strategic milestone.
• $170,000 is immaterial relative to the company's capital requirements for project development (e.g., the US$100 million staged investment with Lanshen).
• This announcement does not alter the fundamental valuation drivers established by the Rincon West resource estimate or the Stellantis/Lanshen partnerships.
• The market likely viewed this as expected administrative activity rather than a catalyst for price appreciation, consistent with the stock's recent consolidation trend.

• Flagship Project: Rincon West Lithium Brine Project located in Salta Province, Argentina.
• Resource Estimate: 238,000 tonnes LCE Measured & Indicated; 64,000 tonnes LCE Inferred (as of late 2025).
• Strategic Partnerships: Stellantis holds a 19.9% stake in the subsidiary with off-take rights for up to 15,000 tpa lithium carbonate. Xi'an Lanshen is engaged for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology.
• Development Goal: Advance to a feasibility-level 5,000 tpa battery-grade lithium carbonate plant, scalable to 15–20 ktpa.
