FRONTIER LITHIUM ANNOUNCES $3.35 MILLION CONVERTIBLE LOAN, EXPECTED PURCHASE OF INDUSTRIAL LANDS FOR LITHIUM CONVERSION FACILITY IN THUNDER BAY & Q3 QUARTERLY RESULTS

Frontier Lithium Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement for a financing of an unsecured convertible loan of the company for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.35-million. The lender of the convertible loan is considered a related party of the company under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange as the lender is an affiliate or associated entity of Reginald (Rick) F. Walker (chairman of the board of directors).

The net proceeds from the financing will be used to purchase a vacant industrial site on Mission Island in Thunder Bay, Ont., on which the company plans to build a lithium conversion facility. The Mission Island lands are composed of 183 acres, including a 50-acre water lot. Frontier has held an option to purchase the Mission Island lands since June 1, 2023. The option is expected to be exercised, and the definitive purchase and sale agreement to purchase the Mission Island lands is expected to be entered into on Feb. 28, 2025, and this transaction is expected to close on Feb. 28, 2025.

Thunder Bay, Ont., is the closest major city to the company's PAK lithium deposit located in Northwestern Ontario and is strategically situated in the heart of Canada. The city boasts excellent transportation infrastructure and connectivity to other potential feedstock sources, as well as domestic and international markets for the potential future shipment of finished lithium salts.

The financing

The loan is convertible into, or exercisable for, fully paid common shares in the capital of the company. The principal amount of the loan, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will mature and become due and payable in cash on the date that is 18 months from the date of issue of the convertible loan, subject to earlier conversion. The principal amount owing under the convertible loan will accrue interest from the issue date at the Canadian overnight repo rate average plus 3.0 per cent per annum, and the interest will be calculated and compounded annually and payable and be due on the maturity date.

As the convertible loan will be unsecured debt obligations of the company, each convertible loan will rank subordinate to all secured debt obligations of the company. The principal amount may be converted (in whole or part), for no additional consideration, into conversion shares at the option of the lender at any time after the issue date at a conversion price of 65 cents per conversion share.

Upon not fewer than 20 days prior written notice to the lender, the company may prepay the principal amount and all other amounts, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, due hereunder. Upon providing notice of such prepayment to the lender, the prepayment, together with all interest accrued through the prepayment date, shall be due and payable on the date set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lender may elect to convert to conversion shares upon receiving such notice. In addition, the principal amount and any interest accrued of the convertible loan may be repaid by the company at any time without penalty.

The financing is considered a related-party transaction under MI 61-101 and the TSX Venture Exchange policies, but is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)a of MI 61-101 and Section 3.1 of Policy 5.9 of the TSX-V policies because neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the financing described herein, exceeds 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.

The financing is expected to close on or about Feb. 28, 2025, and is subject to TSX-V approval. There is no finder's fee owed pursuant to the financing.

The company also reports the filing of its interim financial results for the third quarter ended Dec. 31, 2024. The company's financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis for the period ended Dec. 31, 2024, have also been filed on SEDAR+ and can be viewed under the company's website.
