NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2026) - ILC Critical Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: ILC) (OTCQB: ILHMF) (FSE: IAH0) ("ILC" or the "Company") announces that the Company has closed its non-brokered private placement financing of common shares (the "Offering") announced on April 8, 2026. On closing, the Company issued 19,125,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $382,500.The Company anticipates that $126,784 or 33.15% of the Offering proceeds will be used for exploration and general working capital purposes, and $255,716 or 66.85% for management, director and professional fees to insiders. Payments to persons conducting Investor Relations activities will be less than 2% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. Closing of the Offering is subject to acceptance by the TSXV. All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance under applicable Canadian securities laws. No finders fees have been payable on the transaction.The Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as four directors and an officer of the Company participated in the Offering. The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the shares in reliance on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the shares to be issued to directors and insiders does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the private placement as the details of the participation of insiders of the Company had not been confirmed at that time.About ILC Critical Minerals Ltd.ILC Critical Minerals Ltd., formerly International Lithium Corp., has exploration activities in Ontario, Canada, with intentions to expand into Southern Africa. It has projects at various stages, ranging from Preliminary Economic Assessment at Raleigh Lake to Pre-Drilling at Wolf Ridge. The primary target metals in Canada are lithium, rubidium and copper. There are three projects (two in Ontario and one in Ireland) in which ILC has sold its share, but where the Company stands to receive future payments from either a resource milestone being achieved or from a Net Smelter Royalty. While the world's politicians remain divided on the future of the energy market's historic dependence on oil and gas and on "Net Zero", there is in any scenario an ever-increasing and significant demand for electricity driven by AI and data centres, and by a likely unstoppable momentum towards electric vehicles and grid-scale electricity storage. All of these contribute to rising demand for lithium, copper, and other metals. Rubidium is also a critical metal, strategic for high-precision clocks, space technology, and improving the performance of certain types of solar panels. ILC has seen the politically driven, increasingly urgent push by the USA, Canada, the EU, and other major economies to safeguard their supplies of critical minerals and to become more self-sufficient. The Company's Canadian and Southern African projects, which contain lithium, rubidium and copper, are strategic in this regard.The Company's key mission for the next decade is to generate revenue for its shareholders from lithium, rubidium and other critical minerals while also contributing to the creation of a greener, cleaner planet and less polluted cities. This includes optimizing the value of ILC's existing projects in Canada as well as finding, exploring and developing projects that have the potential to become world-class deposits. The Company has announced that it regards Southern Africa as a key strategic target market and it has applied for and hopes to receive EPOs in Zimbabwe. The board hopes to make further announcements on the portfolio developments over the next few weeks and months.The Company's interests in various projects now consist of the following, and in addition, the Company continues to seek other opportunities:NameMetalLocationStageArea in HectaresCurrent Ownership PercentageFuture Ownership % if options exercised and/or residual interestOperator or

To date, drilling has occurred on less than 1,000 hectares of the Company's claims. A Preliminary Economic Assessment was published for ILC's lithium at Raleigh Lake in December 2023, with a detailed economic analysis of ILC's separate rubidium resource still pending. This showed, for the lithium only and not yet taking into account the rubidium, a Post-tax NPV of CAD$342.9 million and a Post-tax IRR of 44.3% p.a. This was based on a spodumene price of US$2,325 per tonne and a US$-CAD$ exchange rate of 1.35. As at the end of May 2026 the spot spodumene price in CAD$ was slightly higher than that used in the PEA. Raleigh Lake is 100% owned by ILC, free from any encumbrances and royalties. The Raleigh Lake Project boasts excellent access to roads, rail, and utilities.A continuing goal has been to remain a well-funded, strategically run company that turns ILC's aspirations into reality. Following the disposal of the Mariana project in Argentina in 2021, the Mavis Lake project in Canada in 2022, and the Avalonia project in 2025, ILC has continued to generate sufficient cash inflows to advance its exploration projects. With the significant upturn in the lithium price since mid 2025, ILC is focused on realising value from the Raleigh Lake project which now has better economics on the revenue side than at the time of the PEA even excluding the likely upside from the separate rubidium resource. A key priority is also to increase investor awareness of the growing disconnect between the NPV in the Raleigh Lake PEA and the Company's market capitalisation - which is presently less than 2% of the Raleigh Lake NPV.On behalf of the Company,John Wisbey

Payments, if any, to persons conducting Investor Relations activities are expected to be appreciably less than 10% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. Any such Investor Relations engagements will be filed with the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), in accordance with their policies. Closing of the Offering is subject to acceptance by the TSXV. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company may pay finders fees on a portion of the placement, as permitted by TSXV policies and applicable securities laws.It is anticipated that some directors and insiders will participate in this Offering. The issue of shares (to the extent subscribed for by insiders) constitute "related party transactions" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as the subscribers include directors of the Company. The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the shares in reliance on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the shares to be issued to directors and insiders does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.At the same time, although unrelated to the Offering, ILC announces that it is extending for a further year its advertising and investor awareness campaign with Dig Media Inc., doing business as Investing News Network ("INN").

ILC Critical Minerals Ltd. Announces Private PlacementApril 8, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2026) - ILC Critical Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: ILC) (OTCQB: ILHMF) (FSE: IAH0) ("ILC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of up to 50,000,000 common shares at CAD$0.02 per share to raise gross proceeds of up to CAD$1,000,000. There are no warrants attached to this placement.The Company anticipates that $500,000 or 50% of the Offering proceeds will be used for exploration program on the Raleigh Lake and Wolf Ridge Projects, $275,000 or 27.5% for general working capital purposes, and $225,000 or 22.5% for management and director fees. Payments, if any, to persons conducting Investor Relations activities are expected to be appreciably less than 10% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. Any such Investor Relations engagements will be filed with the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), in accordance with their policies. Closing of the Offering is subject to acceptance by the TSXV. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company may pay finders fees on a portion of the placement, as permitted by TSXV policies and applicable securities laws.It is anticipated that some directors and insiders will participate in this Offering. The issue of shares (to the extent subscribed for by insiders) constitute "related party transactions" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as the subscribers include directors of the Company. The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the shares in reliance on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the shares to be issued to directors and insiders does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.The Company is withdrawing the C$2,500,000 private placement of shares announced on February 3, 2026. A large part of that placement was allocated for the expected option exercise by February 27, 2026, to buy from Lepidico (Canada) Inc. 100% of Lepidico (Mauritius) Ltd. ("the Lepidico Option"). This company in turn controlled 80% of the Karibib project in Namibia, and there would have been appreciable necessary follow on expenditure that needed funding. Following the expiry and non-exercise by ILC of the option as announced on March 4, 2026, due to delays in obtaining TSXV approval, the Company has reviewed its financing requirements based on forthcoming operational needs, and has also taken into account the fact that the loan of C$510,000 advanced by the Company to Lepidico (Canada) Inc. has now been repaid in full.

Rubidium is also a critical metal, strategic for high-precision clocks, space technology, and improving the performance of certain types of solar panels. ILC has seen the politically driven, increasingly urgent push by the USA, Canada, the EU, and other major economies to safeguard their supplies of critical minerals and to become more self-sufficient. The Company's Canadian and Southern African projects, which contain lithium, rubidium, cesium and copper, are strategic in this regard.The Company's key mission for the next decade is to generate revenue for its shareholders from lithium, rubidium and other critical minerals while also contributing to the creation of a greener, cleaner planet and less polluted cities. This includes optimizing the value of ILC's existing projects in Canada as well as finding, exploring and developing projects that have the potential to become world-class deposits. The Company has announced that it regards Southern Africa as a key strategic target market and it has applied for and hopes to receive EPOs in Zimbabwe. The board hopes to make further announcements on the portfolio developments over the next few weeks and months.The Company's interests in various projects now consist of the following, and in addition, the Company continues to seek other opportunities:NameMetalLocationStageArea in HectaresCurrent Ownership PercentageFuture Ownership % if options exercised and/or residual interestOperator or JV PartnerRaleigh LakeLithium

The Raleigh Lake Project now encompasses 32,900 hectares (329 square kilometres) of mineral claims in Ontario and represents ILC's most significant project in Canada. To date, drilling has occurred on less than 1,000 hectares of the Company's claims. A Preliminary Economic Assessment was published for ILC's lithium at Raleigh Lake in December 2023, with a detailed economic analysis of ILC's separate rubidium resource still pending. This showed, for the lithium only and not yet taking into account the rubidium, a Post-tax NPV of CAD$342.9 million and a Post-tax IRR of 44.3% p.a. This was based on a spodumene price of US$2,350 per tonne and a US$-CAD$ exchange rate of 1.35. As at the beginning of April 2026 the spot spodumene price in CAD$ was slightly higher than that used in the PEA. Raleigh Lake is 100% owned by ILC, free from any encumbrances and royalties. The Raleigh Lake Project boasts excellent access to roads, rail, and utilities.A continuing goal has been to remain a well-funded, strategically run company that turns ILC's aspirations into reality. Following the disposal of the Mariana project in Argentina in 2021, the Mavis Lake project in Canada in 2022, and the Avalonia project in 2025, ILC has continued to generate sufficient cash inflows to advance its exploration projects. With increasing demand for high-tech rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles, energy storage, and portable electronics, lithium has been dubbed "the new oil". It is a key part of a green, sustainable economy. By positioning itself on projects with significant resource potential and solid strategic partners, ILC aims to become a preferred lithium and critical minerals resource developer for investors and to continue building value for its shareholders throughout the 2020s, the decade of battery metals.On behalf of the Company,John Wisbey

Original: ILC Critical Minerals Ltd. Announces Private Placement

ILC Critical Minerals Ltd. Does Not Exercise Option to Buy Lepidico Mauritius Ltd.March 4, 2026 5:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 4, 2026) - ILC Critical Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: ILC) (OTCQB: ILHMF) (FSE: IAH0) ("ILC" or the "Company") announces that it has not exercised, nor has it been able to extend, its option to buy 100% of Lepidico (Mauritius) Ltd. ("Lepidico Mauritius") from Lepidico (Canada) Inc. ("Lepidico Canada") which expired on February 27, 2026. This company controls 80% of the Karibib lithium, rubidium and cesium project in Namibia.The ILC board had carefully considered the financial and legal risks of the transaction, and supported the exercise of the option. The board had the required funding ready. However TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") did not give the required approval in time to ILC that would have enabled ILC to complete the transaction. It might have been possible to extend the expiry date of the option further, but this would have required ILC to provide additional working capital to Lepidico Canada. The TSXV went further and also prevented ILC from lending more money for working capital to Lepidico Canada. This had the practical effect on ILC that the option could neither be exercised nor extended. This is a setback for ILC's plans in Southern Africa because Karibib has a large lithium resource, the biggest known rubidium resource in Africa, and enough cesium for about one year of world use, and it had already reached Definitive Feasibility Study stage under JORC in 2020. Such advanced stage development projects are hard to find, and the board believed after months of work on the transaction that it could have added considerable shareholder value albeit with some risk. Lepidico Canada's board felt that it was not able to continue further as a viable company without the extra funds needed for its working capital needs. While ILC's board would have been willing for ILC to offer this, the block by TSXV made this impossible to offer. As a result Lepidico Canada has now changed ownership. There is still a possibility of ILC being offered involvement in this project, in which case the ILC board would allow an extended period for TSXV's review processes to complete in such a manner that gives a greater chance of allowing a favourable outcome from TSXV. Obviously however such an outcome cannot be assumed.By order of the board John Wisbey
Chairman and CEOAbout ILC Critical Minerals Ltd.ILC Critical Minerals Ltd., formerly International Lithium Corp., has exploration activities in Ontario, Canada, with intentions to expand into Southern Africa.

International Lithium Corp. Engages Investing News Network
V.ILC | 8 days ago
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 11, 2023) - International Lithium Corp. (TSXV: ILC) (OTCQB: ILHMF) (FSE: IAH) (the "Company" or "ILC") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new advertising and investor awareness campaign agreement (the "Agreement") with Dig Media Inc. dba Investing News Network ("INN"). Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, INN has offices in Toronto, New York, and San Francisco. INN has been dedicated to providing independent news and education to investors since 2007.

INN will introduce the Company to INN's audience of educated, active investors. Using a variety of methods including an Enhanced Advertiser Profile, News Marketing, website and newsletter advertising and dedicated emails, INN will encourage its audience to engage directly with the Company to consider investing in the Company. INN does not provide investor relations or market-making services as defined by TSX Venture Exchange policies.

Under the terms of the Agreement with INN, which supersedes an earlier agreement with INN, the Company has agreed to pay INN $29,000 at the commencement of the campaign and $29,000 after six months. The engagement, to the extent that it constitutes marketing activity under TSX Venture Exchange policies, is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

John Wisbey, Chairman and CEO of International Lithium Corp. commented:

INN will expand ILC's name recognition and corporate message via digital and social media platforms resulting in greater market awareness of ILC's very promising Raleigh Lake and other lithium projects. The engagement of INN is an implementation of our plan shared in the Q3 2022 Chairman's report that we will focus on getting our message out loud and clear, so that every serious investor in the lithium space knows about us.

About International Lithium Corp.

International Lithium Corp. believes that the world faces a significant turning point in the energy market's dependence on oil and gas and in the governmental and public view of climate change. In addition, we have seen the clear and increasingly urgent wish by the USA and Canada to safeguard their supplies of critical battery metals and to become more self-sufficient. Our Canadian projects are strategic in that respect.

Our key mission in the next decade is to make money for our shareholders from lithium and rare metals while at the same time helping to create a greener, cleaner planet. This includes optimizing the value of our existing projects in Canada and Ireland as well as finding, exploring and developing projects that have the potential to become world class lithium and rare metal deposits. Zimbabwe has been identified as a strategic market by the Company.

A key goal has been to become a well-funded company to turn our aspirations into reality, and following the disposal of the Mariana project in Argentina in 2021 and the Mavis Lake project in Canada in January 2022, the Board of the Company considers that ILC is now well placed in that respect with a strong net cash position.

The Company's interests in various projects now consists of the following, and in addition the Company continues to seek other opportunities, especially in Canada and Zimbabwe:

The Company's primary strategic focus at this point is on the Raleigh Lake lithium, rubidium and caesium project in Canada and on identifying additional properties.

The Raleigh Lake project consists of 48,500 hectares (485 square kilometres) of mineral claims in Ontario and is ILC's most significant project in Canada. The exploration results there so far, which are on only about 8% of ILC's current claims, have shown significant quantities of rubidium and caesium in the pegmatite as well as lithium. Raleigh Lake is 100% owned by ILC, is not subject to any encumbrances, and is royalty free.

With the increasing demand for high tech rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles and electrical storage as well as portable electronics, lithium has been designated "the new oil", and is a key part of a "green tech" sustainable economy. By positioning itself with projects with significant resource potential and with solid strategic partners, ILC aims to be one of the lithium and rare metals resource developers of choice for investors and to continue to build value for its shareholders in the '20s, the decade of battery metals.

float should be around 60M, more than 50% held by those above assuming current (not fully converted) SS

What is the source for those amounts ??

12.8% + 10% buy-in interest in Mariana

NPV of $192M calculated from 2018 vols I believe not accounting for 250%+ increase they just found recently in 2020.
so that means ~$700M

ILHMF holds $140M worth of lithium today and we trading 10x below?
This is just for Mariana

Games games games they need to get real and let it rip

ILC.v.. GET READY TO RUMBLE. NEXT MICRO LITHIUM MADNESS!!

Beebread,_yes the_Canada and_Ireland properties_should rise likewise_if
Ganfeng will also back their Made-in-China truck up to these properties and dump some fresh Chinese (or USA Treasury-backed) cash into them also to get them kick-started like the Argentina (or Bacanora Mexico) project.

Argentina prints paper money like it is going out-of-style while Canada and Ireland do not (thereby facilitating using local currency) so that is a big concern here in Argentina also.

If Argentina wants lithium miners to also produce batteries in the home Argentina country (and then sit on those inventories in slow/election-neering/troublesome/warring times) then the whole lithium industry in Argentina will come to a screeching halt just like it is Chile currently excluding "golden goose" SQM & Albemarle who are the darlings of all the bust-down-the-nettlesome-trade-barriers fascists there.

Lithium miners never ever turn out to be good battery makers.

The Doctor

government meddling in the mining business is nothing new. any doubt cast over prospects in Argentina will increase the value of the properties in Canada and Ireland no? If demand persists surely consensus will be found when there’s money to be made

Argentina_fixing to_frock all_their lithium_miners Chilean CORFO doggystyle
by requiring Argentinian lithium miners now also make batteries IN Argentina using strike-loving beaners on the factory assembly lines in a country that has been on the IMF shit list for failing to pay any loans back on schedule to that bank/lender for the last 30 years and inflation is totally out of control.
Click here for page one of the Argentinian lithium miners obituary.

Dear Argentina, that whooshing sound you are about to hear in your ears is the sound of lithium miners (following Ganfeng) packing up their moneybags/suitcases and heading up to Mexico and Bolivia leaving Argentina in the dust. Lithium batteries need to be made in China, Korea, Japan, USA or Germany NEAR the EV makers... that is where the "manufacturing action" is located, not Argentina. Argentina can barely make a good lawnmower much less a custom lithium ion battery whose design/chemistry seems to change every 2 months.
