A.I.S. Resources Completes Geophysics & Identifies Prospective Aquifers at MGX / AIS Salinitas JV Project, Salinas Grandes, Argentina

Vancouver, British Columbia – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to report completion of the previously announced Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey at the Salinitas lithium brine joint venture project (the “Project”) located in the Salinas Grande Salar, Northwest Argentina.

The first of the TEM geophysics profiles has been interpreted and potentially substantial aquifers exist over two 3 km x 2km x 180m depth areas. Preliminary highlights from the TDEMprogram (Figure 1) show the red zone as highly conductive. Interpreted aquifers outlined in black line (Figure 1) are likely to represent brine soaked sands and clay.The large blue structures in Figure 1 are black volcanic rocks that can been seen outcropping in Figure 3. On line one, the size of the two blocks in the low resistivity area is approximately 6,000m x 180m.

Interpretation of lines two and three are now underway and will provide an indication of potential widths. The purple line on the surface (Figure 1) shows the main area of interest that will be trenched with a backhoe in the near future.

 Salinitas Drilling Permit Update and Exploration Plans
A.I.S.has been advised that the Salta Department of Mines Administration is expected to issue drill permits within the next week. Upon full completion and interpretation of all TDEM data, A.I.S. plans to conduct trenching as well as an auger drilling program to test the shallow, near surface brine targets that may potentially contain anomalous concentrations of lithium and other elements. Exploration is being overseen by AIS’s Exploration Director and newly appointed CEO Phillip Thomas. Mr. Thomas specializes in development of lithium brine projects and previously acted as CEO of Admiralty Resources, where he was responsible for putting the Rincon Salar in Argentina into production.

Phil Thomas stated: “This initial seismic data from the Salinitas Project based on the TEM geophysics models strongly supports our case for acquiring an option on these strategic concessions. Once all the geophysics analysis is completed we will start our trenching program followed by our initial drilling program of two to four holes.”

About the Salinitas Lithium Brine Project
The Salinitas tenements are located in the lithium triangle at the Salar de Salinas Grandes, in the Province of Salta. The 4,308 hectare contiguous land package resides in the Puna region of northwest Argentina near the border of Chile, an area renowned for its lithium- and potassium-rich brine resources. MGX has partnered with A.I.S. on the Project and MGX is currently earning an undivided 80% interest by incurring total exploration expenditures of at least US$1.2 million by May 31, 2020 and by making payments totaling US$3.2 million which are primarily due at that time.

A.I.S. Resources Announces a Successful UGAMP Meeting

Vancouver, British Columbia – July 13, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to advise shareholders that the UGAMP meeting of the Provincial Mining Environmental Management Unit was convened on July 5, 2018 to review the Company’s exploration plans for the Guayatayoc project. The meeting went very well with no objections to AIS’s exploration activities being raised. A 30-day consultation period is now in effect, during which time further information may be re-quested by the three communities affected. One of the communities Quebraleña, has already signed an assembly document regarding AIS’s planned exploration work program. Marc Morin CEO stated. “The Secretary for the Department of Mines along with his officers were very supportive of our project. He asked AIS to follow up with his department in the next 10 days to get an update on the status of the issue of the drilling permit.” AIS has a drilling company on standby in anticipation of receipt of its drilling permit. The Com-pany intends to complete its seismic analysis, drill six holes to a depth of 350 meters each to test targets at its Guayatayoc concessions. Initially roads will be constructed, then drill pads and four 10,000 litre water tanks.

About Guayatayoc Property
AIS has an option over 5,225 ha in the Guayatayoc Salar which hosts favourable geology for lith-ium and was previously mined for boron, which is closely associated with lithium deposition. The salar is adjacent to the Salinas Grades salar and is situated 46km from the main sealed highway. The Company’s January 2017 sampling program sampled two trenches where values of 920 ppm and 270 ppm of Li with Mg to Li Ratios of 1:1 (Refer to February 1, 2017 News Re-lease) were discovered. Thirty five pits were also sampled with encouraging results (refer to February 22, 2017 News Release). Magnesium to lithium ratios were less than 4 to 1, which is excellent for low cost processing. The Company has produced 22 kilograms of samples to date. The AIS team met with Dr. R L Steinmetz PhD and representatives from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) who was able to provide valuable seismic, stratigra-phy and other geological evidence to support the Company’s exploration program. Dr. Steinmetz published her PhD thesis on the Guayatayoc basin in 2013 (Refer to the Company’s 43-101 report for details). AIS may purchase 100% of the Guayatayoc Property by paying $4.5million USD by October 11, 2018.

Economic cut-off values were set at 250ppm and 8:1 for Mg:Li values. All DDH hole and pit samples failed this test. The exploration team decided not to continue with the drilling program and exploration work. The Company decided not to exercise the property option which was extended by the vendor until receipt of assay results.   Our QP, Phillip Thomas supervised the drill program, sampling and analysis.

Lithium was present in the DDH brine samples taken using a double packer system and were analysed by Alex Stewart Laboratories in Jujuy, Argentina. Two core samples have been sent to GeoSystems Analysis Inc in Tucson, Arizona for specific brine yield measurements, porosity and permeability.

Our interpretation of the geophysics was accurate with a major aquifer being encountered at 16m within a black sand unit, indicated by a significant drop in resistivity and at depth where a brown clay unit had transitioned into a coarse sandy unit with halite. High resistivity was correlated to solid halite units with almost no porosity. Significant brine flows at very high pressures were encountered at depth in both diamond drill holes with estimated flow rates of 50,000-70,000 litres per minute. In the case of DDH PO2, the brine flowed under its own pressure for approximately 5.25- 5.5 hours.

Interpretation
Both drill holes intersected substantial localized aquifers, however sampling downhole using a double packer tool at 50 metre intervals showed that the lithium values were uneconomic and also the magnesium values were extremely high.  Economic cut-off values were set at 250ppm and 8:1 for Mg:Li values.

The geohydrological work on the surface showed that the lithium values in some of the pits with low Na values increased substantially in Lithium and Sodium values over a 7 day period suggesting that surface water drained through the shallow brown sandy clay and black sand unit that had higher porosity due to the sand content, and more lithium rich brines flowed in that had been trapped in the higher density lower clay units.  The brine density differential wasn’t measured but the low Na and Li values suggest these surface brines were lower density.

Pit 16 and 19
Was sampled within 12 hours of being dug and then again in 7 days.

The black sand unit that occurred about three metres below the surface predominately in the central salar area showed substantial porosity and transmissitivity.  In DDH 1, 10 metres of black sand core was lost from the drill rod  below the 16 metre interval confirming substantial brine presence, but it was low in lithium concentration.  The Pocitos Salar was subjected to substantial rainfalls during December to March 2018 and this impacted surface brine concentration.  The highest lithium pit value was 179ppm in Pit 10 on the eastern most edge of Pocitos 2.    No evaporation studies were undertaken but anecdotal evidence suggests that 3-5cm of water had evaporated over the 30 day drill period.

The geological model adapted from the geophysics survey suggests that brine concentrates to the eastern edge but is stratified by less porous halite and clay units.  A cemented aggregate sand sequence was intersected above the brine aquifer at 320-325m in DDH1.  Other explorers have confirmed this model in that brines sampled in the west had little or no lithium. We took the view that considering the lithology, deeper drilling had a low probability of intersecting higher lithium grades.

Quality Control and Assurance
Alex Stewart International Argentina SA completed the sample analysis using an ICP diagnostic machine.  Three samples were submitted  in a group of six, and every 10 in 20 for quality control.  The variance was 2.5% or less in the lithium analysis, which reflected the variance in brine sampling.  ICP machine variance accuracy was 0.05%.

Pit and DDH Packer Sampling Quality Control
Each bottle was rinsed in brine. A sampling tool was used to ensure that minimum disturbance was created and the clay sediments were not disturbed. A sample was taken and the cap put on the 1 litre bottles with no air present.  The temperature was taken and recorded that was  approximately 6.5˚C.  The bootle was labelled PO1 or PO2 and then sealed with tape.  The QP checked the labelling and recorded it and the site geologist took all the samples to Alex Stewart Laboratories.  They sent a confirmation of the date, time and labels of the samples that were received and that they were still sealed.

Guayatayoc Update
The company has received the date for its UGAMP (La Unidad de Gestión Ambiental Minera Provincial) meeting slated for July 2nd, 2018.  The proposed meeting is for the ratification of our proposed drilling and exploration program at Guayatayoc. The process involves community consultation with government and representatives of AIS.

Once the meeting is complete,  a 30 day period for consultation is required, during which time AIS may be requested to provide further information of its planned work program.  If no objections are made, the permit will be issued.

A.I.S. Resources Adds Second Drilling Rig at Chiron

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 27, 2018 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce it has engaged a second drilling contractor, AGV Falcon S.R.L. of Salta, Argentina to complete up to four diamond drill holes for a total of 1,300 meters across four tenements at its Chiron project in the Pocitos Salar.

AGV Falcon has mobilized a drill rig onto the site and is expected to begin drilling on Saturday 29 April 2018. AIS is looking to expedite exploration at Chiron to gather all the necessary data prior to purchasing the project.

Phil Thomas, Chief Operating Officer and exploration director of A.I.S., stated: “It will be exciting to see the brine results in the core and how well it correlates with the geophysics we have completed. We will drill one hole in Pocitos 2 down to 400m to examine the lithium concentration in the brine at depth. Our modelling suggests there is a significant aquifer at depth but this will give us proof. I will be overseeing the data collection and ensure that QA/QC is monitored and our local geologist will be supervising the packer testing.”
