Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2018) - Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One Materials (TSXV: NNO) (OTC Pink:
NNOMF) (FSE: LBMB), is pleased to announce that Nano One has met its objectives on pilot plant optimization and received a
milestone payment of $760,145 from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC).
"This is the third of four installments from SDTC," said Mr. Blondal, "released to Nano One after
delivering on its commitments. SDTC has a comprehensive review process and this confirms Nano One's
ability to execute on its plans to date. The funds are an advance on the work
currently underway to validate Nano One's technology with third party commercial interests."
To date, the Government of Canada has contributed over $3.2 million in non-dilutive support to Nano One's pilot plant project
through SDTC and the Automotive Supplier's Innovation Program (ASIP). Nano One has also received support from the National Research
Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) on related projects.
Mr. Blondal said "Nano One has optimized and demonstrated the production of pilot scale
volumes of various lithium nickel manganese and cobalt based cathode materials as well as its cobalt free
high voltage spinel and lithium iron phosphate. SDTC, ASIP and the Government of Canada are providing
crucial support and Nano One remains committed to the commercialization of its manufacturing technology
for the production of next generation lithium ion battery cathode materials."

About Nano One:
Nano One Materials Corp ("Nano One" or "the Company") is developing patented technology for the low-cost production of high
performance battery materials used in electric vehicles, energy storage and consumer electronics. The processing technology
addresses fundamental supply chain constraints by enabling wider raw materials specifications for use in lithium ion batteries. The
process can be configured for a range of different nanostructured materials and has the flexibility to shift with emerging and
future battery market trends and a diverse range of other growth opportunities. The novel three-stage process uses equipment common
to industry and Nano One has built a pilot plant to demonstrate high volume production and to optimize its technology across a
range of materials. The pilot plant is being funded with the assistance and support of the Government of Canada through Sustainable
Development Technology Canada (SDTC) and the Automotive Supplier Innovation Program (ASIP) a program of Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada ISED). Nano One also receives financial support from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial
Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). Nano One's mission is to establish its patented technology as a leading platform for the
global production of a new generation of nanostructured composite materials. For more information, please visit www.nanoone.ca
