("GWT") with regard to the acquisition by Enertopia of the exclusive worldwide licensing rights (the "Licensing Rights") by Enertopia of all of the technology used in the process of recovering and extraction of battery grade lithium carbonate powder Li2CO3 grading 99.5% or higher purity from brine solutions.

Upon the execution of this LOI, Enertopia issued 250,000 common shares valued at $12,500 to GWT.

On December 6, 2016, Enertopia and GWT signed a Definitive Commercial Agreement with regard to the acquisition by Enertopia of the exclusive licensing rights of all of the technology used in the process of recovering and extraction of battery grade lithium carbonate powder Li2CO3 grading 99.5% or higher purity from brine solutions.
