The Company entered into a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") with Jorge Enrique Moreno and Alba Silvia Salas (the "Vendors") dated September 16, 2016 to acquire a 100% interest in and to the Project. The Definitive Agreement replaced an earlier agreement (the "Initial Agreement") disclosed in the July 19, 2016 news release.

Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, Millennial will complete its purchase of a 100% interest in the Project in consideration of the following payments and share issuances to the Vendor:

The Project is subject to a royalty (the "Royalty") equal to 1.5% of the gross annual sales of lithium from the Project net of value added taxes and other taxes applicable to the sale of lithium. The Royalty comes into effect on October 6, 2019. At any time until October 6, 2019, the Company can terminate the right of the Vendors to the Royalty in consideration of a payment in the amount of $3,000,000 (US) to the Vendors.

The Project is strategically located within the Argentine portion of the "Lithium Triangle", which is host to some of the world's largest lithium resources. The Project is approximately 1200 hectares in size and ideally situated in the center of the Pastos Grandes Salar in Salta, Argentina. The region exhibits significant lithium and potassium brines and historically the Project has been tested by surface geochemical sampling, Magnetolluric (MT) surveying, CSAMT, vertical electrical sounding (VES) geophysical surveying and by 4 pumping wells testing and measuring brine flows in aquifers with significant lithium and potassium assays. Millennial is planning to continue with exploration and development of the Project and expects to report on such exploration plans in the coming weeks.

Closing of the Concurrent Financing:

The Company has closed its private placement Financing of 7,500,000 units at $0.65 per unit for proceeds of $4,875,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (a "Unit"). Each whole share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") is exercisable for a period of two years from closing at an exercise price of $1.00.

The Units, and any common shares of the Company issued upon exercise of the Warrants, are subject to a four month hold period expiring on January 17, 2017.

Commissions of up to 6%, payable in cash or units at the finder's option, have been paid in connection with a portion of the Financing. This resulted in the payment of $106,938.20 in cash and the issuance of 164,137 Units.

All Units issued to the finders, and any common shares of the Company issued upon exercise of the Warrants in their units, are subject to a four month hold period expiring on January 17, 2017.

Proceeds of the Financing are to be used to meet the Company's obligations under the Definitive Agreement including funding Required Exploration Expenditures on the Project.
