(i) LCE = Li% multiplied by 5.324

Initial metallurgical test work on drill core samples has indicated that lithium can be put into a solution from which it is highly probable that lithium carbonate can be produced.

Management is thrilled with the preliminary economic assessment of La Ventana and the further expansion of resources on the Project and looks forward to completing additional work for the purpose of advancing the project through pre-feasibility/feasibility and, ultimately, leading to the commercial development of this deposit. The full text of the PEA has been filed on SEDAR as a report in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and will be available on Bacanora's website.

Lithium is the lightest of the alkali metals and has unique electrochemical properties that make it the element of choice for batteries of high energy storage capacity as well as a host of other industrial and health applications.

Carl G. Verley, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person pursuant to NI 43-101 who was the lead author with overall responsibility for the PEA and review of the technical contents of this news release.
