(As of October 1, 2023)” has been filed on SEDAR.The report documents a maiden lithium brine resource estimate at its wholly owned Fox Creek West property in Alberta completed by Sproule Associates Limited (“Sproule”), as initially reported by way of the Company’s news release dated October 4, 2023.Key Highlights:231,100 tonnes of LCE in the Inferred Mineral Resource category from two Devonian-aged formation aquifers; the Wabamun and Beaverhill Lake Group Formations.Fox Creek West Property has an estimated 3.8 billion barrels of brine, with lithium concentrations between 31mg/L to 93 mg/L and an estimated average lithium concentration of 72 mg/L.In comparison, Lithiumbank’s Broadwalk Project 30 km away has an average grade of 68 gm/L.Indigo’s total land position at Fox Creek West equals 55,103 hectares and is adjacent to Lithiumbank properties. Indigo intends to focus development on those areas of its asset base featuring the highest lithium concentrations in the Beaverhill Lake Group formations, which are expected to drive strong economic returns and robust cash flows.Table 1 Wabamun-Beaverhill Lake Group Formations Li-Brine NI 43-101 Inferred Resource Estimate FormationWater In-Place (MMbbl)Lithium Concentration (mg/L)Inferred Resources Li (tonnes)Inferred Resources LCE4 (tonnes)Wabamun2,6487832,833174,773Beaverhill Lake Group — East1513937,58540,373Beaverhill Lake Group — West2608312,99715,952Total3,76972343,415231,097 East part of Fox Creek West consisting of T63 R23W5 and east half of T64 R22W5.West part of Fox Creek West (excluding T63 R23W5 and east half of T64 R22W5.Weighted average lithium concentration based on total water in-place and lithium in-place.Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) calculated as elemental lithium (Li) times 5.323.Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
