On August 15, 2016, a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI’) was signed by Enertopia and Genesis Water Technologies, Inc. ("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, and amended on October 9, 2017, Enertopia and GWT signed a Definitive Commercial Agreement with regard to the acquisition by Enertopia of the exclusive licensing rights in the United States of America, Argentina, Bolivia and Chile 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.

   
 

The following are key points of the terms of the formal Definitive Commercial Agreement:


  a)

Enertopia to pay within 30 days to GWT $10,000 (paid) for the bench testing of four lithium brine samples to confirm the June 2016 feasibility report. During the six month period ended February 28, 2018, the Company signed a Lab Testing Service Agreement with GWT and paid $192,950 for the purpose of additional bench testing services plus materials costs of $8,998. Within 30 days of successful independent 3 rd party lab testing of the bench test results, Enertopia will issue 250,000 common shares to GWT.

  b)

Upon successful test pilot facility results, start the construction of commercial Lithium recovery production facility.

  c)

Upon receipt of a patent for the process for extracting lithium from wastewater, Enertopia will issue 250,000 common shares to GWT.

  d)

GWT has granted Enertopia exclusive rights and relicensing rights to the usage of GWT’s patent pending technology covering United States of America, Argentina, Bolivia and Chile as per the Commercialization Agreement in return for 10 per cent of net sales royalty payments for battery grade Lithium Carbonate Li2CO3 produced.

  e)

In order to maintain its exclusive rights, Enertopia will need to make the following minimal payments to GWT on the anniversary of bench testing achieving 99.5% battery grade Li2CO3 recovery verified by independent laboratory testing:

  a.

On or before the first anniversary, the greater of 10 per cent of Enertopia net Lithium Carbonate Li2CO3 sales from brine sources or $50,000 ;

  b.

On or before the second anniversary, the greater of 10 per cent of Enertopia net Lithium Carbonate Li2CO3 sales from brine sources or $150,000 ;

  c.

On or before the third anniversary annually until the seventh anniversary, the greater of 10 per cent of Enertopia net Lithium Carbonate Li2CO3 sales from brine sources or $200,000 ;

  d.
