New Tech Lithium Signs Letter of Intent (LOI) for Acquisition of a Cobalt Property in Nevada

VANCOUVER, March 12, 2018 /CNW/ - New Tech Lithium Corp. (the "Company") (NTM:CSE) are excited to announce signing of a LOI to lease the mineral rights for a property in Nevada containing known significant Cobalt mineralization. The mineral rights underlie an approximately 1 square mile (640 acres) Section owned by an arms-length private Nevada-based company (the "Vendor").

Cobalt mineralization at the property occurs as disseminated Cobalt-bearing ("Cobaltoan") pyrite associated with strong Na-Ca hydrothermal alteration in gabbroic intrusive and co-magmatic basalt-andesite volcanic flows and inter-bedded sediments. Lesser Nickel-sulfide mineralization is associated with the Cobalt mineralization.

Fifteen samples were collected from an open-pit wall and associated waste-dump material on the property by a previous operator and results are reported in a currently unpublished, pre-print publication (T.A. DeMatties, 2016). Of the 15 samples reported 1 sample contains 1.2% Cobalt, 6 samples contain between 0.12% - 0.82% Cobalt, 7 samples contain between 0.023% - 0.079% Cobalt and, 1 sample contains 0.009% Cobalt.

Acquisition agreement as follows:

• $3000 up-front upon signing of LOI by both parties. Up-front payment ensures 90-day due diligence period for technical and legal review of the property. $3000 up-front payment will be credited to NTM 1^st year payment.
• $22,000 + 250,000 NTM shares payable three business days after execution of Definitive Agreement (DA).
• $25,000 + 250,000 NTM shares payable on 1^st anniversary of execution of DA.
• $25,000 + 250,000 NTM shares payable on 2^nd anniversary of execution of DA.
• $50,000 per annum minimum royalty payment for 10-years commencing in 4^th year of the Lease and paid on the anniversary of the Closing Date each year.
• 1% NSR with NTM's option to buy-down ½ of NSR (0.5%) for $500,000.
• Minimum Work Commitments
• $100,000 1^st year work commitment.
• $200,000 2^nd year work commitment.
• $400,000 3^rd year work commitment.
