NRG METALS FILE LITHIUM RESOURCE ESTIMATE

NRG Metals Inc. has issued and filed a technical report titled "Initial Measured Lithium and Potassium Resource Estimate Hombre Muerto North Project, Salta and Catamarca Provinces, Argentina." The report was completed in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, on behalf of the company by independent consultants Montgomery and Associates, of Santiago, Chile.

The NI 43-101 resource statement (see press release Oct. 2, 2018) includes 509,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) equivalent (LCE) and 1,609,000 tonnes of potash (KCl) equivalent in the measured resource category, with an additional 62,000 tonnes of LCE and 231,000 tonnes KCl in the indicated resource category. The average grade of lithium for the 571,000-tonne combined measured and indicated resource is 756 milligrams/litre lithium, with a low lithium to magnesium ratio of 2.6 to 1. The report is now filed on SEDAR and is available at the company website.

Montgomery and Associates recommends that the company further evaluate the project by completing a preliminary economic assessment. Selection of a contractor for this stage of evaluation is under way, and the company expects to award the contract shortly.

Company president Adrian F.C. Hobkirk is quoted: "We are pleased with our accomplishment to date at Hombre Muerto North, and in particular, the identification of a significant high-grade resource. We anticipate that the PEA will allow the company to further justify the development of the Hombre Muerto North lithium project."
