NEWS RELEASE
New Tech Lithium Adds an Additional 12 US Federal Load Mining Claims to Buena Vista
Hills Cobalt Project

Vancouver, B.C., October 23, 2018: New Tech Lithium (the "Company") (NTM:CSE) is pleased
to announce the addition of 12 US Federal Load Mining Claims, totaling 240 acres, to their existing
640-acre Buena Vista Hills Cobalt Project in Pershing County, Nevada. The claims are leased from
the same vendor that owns the original core of the project area, Section 15, T25N, R34E, and are
added as an amendment to the original lease option agreement. The claims are contiguous with
and adjacent to the north side of Section 15.
Specifics of the amendment are as follows (all funds are in US Dollars):
   1. $6,000 cash payment payable within three business days following the Amendment
      Execution Date + 100,000 NTM shares to be transferred within six (6) business days
      following the Amendment Execution Date. These payments cover the initial 7-months
      following the Amendment Execution Date.
   2. After the initial 7-month period after the Amendment Execution Date the original Section
      15 lease payment schedule is modified to include an additional $8,000 to be added to the
      original $25,000 due on the 1st and 2nd anniversaries (May 15, 2019 and May 15, 2020,
      respectively) of the original lease option execution date.
   3. On the 3rd anniversary of the original lease date (May 15, 2021), an additional $8,000 will
      be added to the existing $50,000 per-annum minimum royalty payment, to be paid over a
      10-year period.
   4. A 4% NSR will apply to the 12 un-patented mining claims. Up to 2% (1/2) of this royalty
      can be purchased at any time at the discretion of NTM for $500,000.
   5. NTM will make all annual maintenance fee payments due to the BLM and Pershing County
      by July 15 of each calendar year.
