ABOUT BACANORA:

Bacanora is a Canadian and London listed minerals explorer (TSX VENTURE:BCN)(AIM:BCN). The Company explores and develops industrial mineral projects, with a primary focus on lithium and borates. The Company's operations are based in Hermosillo in northern Mexico and it currently has two significant projects under development in the state of Sonora. The two main assets of Bacanora are:

--  The Sonora Lithium Project, which consists of ten mining concession
    areas covering approximately 100 thousand hectares in the northeast of
    Sonora State. The Company, through drilling and exploration work to
    date, has established an Indicated Mineral Resource (in accordance with
    NI 43-101) of 4.5 million tonnes (LCE) and 2.7 million tonnes Inferred.
    A PFS completed in Q1 2016 demonstrated the robust economics associated
    with becoming a 35,000 tpa lithium carbonate and 50,000 tpa SOP producer
    in Mexico. 
--  The Magdalena Borate Project, covering 16,503 hectares in Sonora state,
    Mexico, where the Company's main borate zone, El Cajon, has an Indicated
    Resource (in accordance with NI 43-101) of 1.17 Mt of B2O3, at an eight
    per cent. cut-off grade. The Company has completed a number of measures
    to determine the geological and commercial potential of the project and
    is undertaking a pre-feasibility exercise to determine the economic
    benefit of developing the mine and constructing a processing plant on
    site in order to become a supplier of boric acid.
