(“\n \n \n Lithium\nChile\n \n \n ” or the “\n \n \n Company\n \n \n ”)\n \n \n (TSXV:LITH) (OTC:LTMCF)\n \n \n is\npleased to announce that results from its recently completed extension\nto its prior auger sampling program on Salar de Laguna Blanca has\ndoubled the size of the lithium-cesium anomaly from 4 sq km to 8.8 sq\nkm. The anomaly is still open to the northeast, east and south.  The\ninitial TEM geophysical survey that discovered the conductive anomaly\nalso shows it to be between 100 and 200 meters thick indicating the\npotential to significantly increase the size of this target.\n \n \n \n \n HIGHLIGHTS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n - 8.8 sq km lithium-cesium surface\nsediment anomaly outlined;\n \n \n \n \n - Lithium sediment grades up to 1450\nmg/l and Cesium grades up to 698 ppm;\n \n \n \n \n - 3.8 sq km high grade core averaging\n900 mg/l lithium and 335 ppm cesium;\n \n \n \n \n - Surface brine samples from anomaly\ncore grading up to 1230 mg/l lithium;\n \n \n \n \n - 40-liter bulk surface water sample\nsent to Summit Nanotech for extraction tests.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The results from the second phase exploration program\non the Company’s Laguna Blanca prospect continues to point to a\nlarge mineral occurrence containing two valuable commodities - lithium\nand cesium.  There are strong indications of both elements in the\nsurface sediment samples as well as the potential for both minerals in\nthe deeper brine targets. It is the company’s intention to look at a\nsampling program to test deeper zone over the existing anomaly as well\nas continue to extend its aerial extent.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click Image To View Full Size\n \n \n \n \n Steve Cochrane, President and CEO of Lithium Chile\ncommented, “We are excited by the latest results from our Laguna\nBlanca exploration program. The presence of two highly valued\ncommodities on the property make this a priority project for Lithium\nChile. The combination of the two minerals has attracted numerous\ninquiries from outside parties...
