The 2018 winter program will comprise up to 1,200 metres of oriented NQ diamond core drilling and will test for extensions to spodumene-bearing pegmatites intersected by the joint venture (the \"JV\") in the 2017 drilling program targeting the Fairservice (PEG006 or Pegmatite 6) prospect (see ILC news release dated October 17, 2017).Drill core logging and cutting for the first hole, MF18-51 has been completed and all samples have been submitted to the lab for analysis.

Drilling is expected to take up to 30 days to complete.As reported in the October 17, 2017 news release, each of the four 2017 holes drilled at the Fairservice Prospect by the JV in 2017 intersected multiple spodumene-bearing pegmatites of significant thickness*.Key Intersections from the Pegmatite 6 Target Area*: MF17-39: 17.90 metres* at 1.47% lithium oxide (\"Li2O\") from 80.00 metres; MF17-40: 12.85 metres at 1.16% Li2O from 80.05 metres; MF17-49: 26.30 metres at 1.70% Li2O from 111.9 metres                   including 7.70 metres at 2.97% Li2O from 130.5 metres; and MF17-50: 16.55 metres at 1.45% Li2O from 74.55 metres                  and 23.10 metres at 1.40% Li2O from 122.00 metres. * All widths reported are drill core widths and have not been converted into true width. True width is currently unknown. Appropriate rounding of Li2O values applied.\"We are very pleased to activate our further exploration program at Mavis Lake with Pioneer Resources, in Ontario, Canada,\" commented Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of ILC. \"The previous drill program has demonstrated our ability to succ...
