Bacanora Lithium plc
("Bacanora" or the "Company")
Notice of AGM
Bacanora Lithium plc (AIM: BCN), a lithium development company, is pleased to announce that the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at The Clubhouse, 8 St James's Square, London SW1Y 4JU, at 2.00pm on 30 June 2021.
The formal business of the AGM will only be to consider and vote upon the resolutions set out in the notice of meeting. The resolutions proposed at this AGM relate solely to matters in the ordinary course of business and are of a similar nature to those proposed at previous AGMs. The formal business of the AGM will not deal with any matters pertaining to the possible offer for the Company by Ganfeng International Trading (Shanghai) Limited announced on 6 May 2021.
On conclusion of the formal business of the AGM, the Directors and advisers will conduct a question-and-answer session on any other matters that shareholders wish to raise. Shareholders are requested to submit any questions by e-mail to info@bacanoralithium.com by no later than 2.00pm on 28 June 2021. Shareholders will be able to listen to the AGM via webcast. An announcement providing dial-details for the webcast will be issued in due course and will be available on our website.
The Board has continued to monitor closely the COVID-19 pandemic and its preference is to welcome shareholders to this year's AGM, especially given that shareholders were prevented from attending last year. The holding of the meeting will be kept under review in line with Public Health England guidance, and based on the Government's roadmap for relaxing restrictions on 21 June 2021, it is hoped that there will be no formal restrictions on attendance by shareholders other than any imposed by the venue owners. We would therefore request that any shareholders planning to attend to inform the Company at info@bacanoralithium.com by close of business on 28 June 2021, so that attendee numbers can be assessed. We would also strongly encourage shareholders to submit a proxy vote in advance of the AGM. Any changes to the arrangements for the AGM set out above will be communicated to shareholders before the AGM through the Company's website at www.bacanoralithium.com/investor-relations/agm-documents/ and, where appropriate, by a regulatory information service announcement.
In support of Bacanora's ongoing commitment to minimise unnecessary waste, the Notice of AGM, Form of Proxy, Deemed Consent Letters and the Annual Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 are available for download on the Company's website: www.bacanoralithium.com/investor-relations/agm-documents/.

Bacanora Lithium Plc is an AIM-listed (ticker 'BCN') lithium development company. The Company is focused on building, in collaboration with its major shareholder and offtake partner, Ganfeng Lithium (the world's largest lithium metals producer), a 35,000 tonne per annum open pit lithium carbonate operation at its flagship asset, the Sonora Lithium Project in Mexico. The Sonora Lithium Project has 8.8 million tonnes of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) equivalent resources, with an approximate 250-year resource life, as detailed in its December 2017 Feasibility Study.
Sonora Lithium Ltd ("SLL") is the operational holding company for the Sonora Lithium Project and owns 100% of the La Ventana concession. The La Ventana concession accounts for 88% of the mined ore feed in the Sonora Feasibility Study which covers the initial 19 years of the project mine life. On completion of this option exercise, SLL will be owned 50% by Bacanora and 50% by Ganfeng Lithium Co., Ltd. SLL also owns 70% of the El Sauz and Fleur concessions.
