[{"type":"text","content":"International Lithium Corp. and Ganfeng Lithium Announce Mobilization of Two Drills at Avalonia Lithium Project in IrelandVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 12, 2016 / International Lithium Corp. (TSXV: ILC.V) (the \"Company\" or \"ILC\") is pleased to announce that following a successful first round of drilling at the Avalonia project in Ireland earlier this year (Company news releases dated July 21, June 9 and April 11, 2016), the Company has mobilized two drills for a follow-up round of drilling at the Aclare prospect within the greater Avalonia project area. In conjunction, field crews have commenced detailed geochemical surveys on additional priority areas in preparation for drilling.\nAclare Drill Programme\nDrilling completed earlier this year (Company news releases dated July 21, and June 9) has indicated that the main lithium bearing pegmatite at Aclare is less faulted than previously interpreted and exhibits inflections along the strike suggesting areas where the pegmatite thickens. Two drills have been mobilized to the property with the first hole collared on 8 August. A 500 metre drill programme will investigate the shape of the main pegmatite body and a series of short drill holes are planned to test the continuation of the Aclare pegmatite along trend. Drilling is anticipated to take approximately three weeks.\nField Exploration\nSoil gas hydrocarbon (SGH) soil surveys are planned over three targets including Aclare where the positions of pegmatite targets are well known through drilling and historical trenching. The SGH method has previously been used by other companies to detect lithium pegmatites through soil cover. One of the other target areas selected to perform this survey is at the Moylisha prospect situated approximately 10 kms northeast of Aclare.\nIn addition to the SGH survey, the Company is awaiting permits to commence trenching at Moylisha. The Moylisha target area contains extensive boulder trains of spodumene bearing pegmatite assaying up to 4.59% Li2O* that have yet to be traced back to source. The combined objective of the planned exploration surveys at Moylisha is to identify the geology hidden under soil cover and to specifically locate the pegmatite source of the lithium rich boulders. The results from this exploration program at Moylisha will be utilized in planning the next phase of drilling...
