(\"\n \n Monumental\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") (TSX-V: MNRL) (FSE: BE5) (OTCQB: MNMRF) is pleased to announce the results of a follow-up shallow brine sampling program at the Laguna Blanca lithium (Li) brine and cesium (Cs) sediment project (the \"\n \n Project\n \n \"), located within the Lithium Triangle, northern\n \n Chile\n \n .\n \n \n The Laguna Blanca Project lies within the eastern Andean Geomorphic Belt of\n \n Chile's\n \n Central Andean Altiplano and is located 120 km from the Salar de Atacama, the largest lithium producing salar in the world. The felsic volcanic rocks of the Central Andean Altiplano are enriched in Li and Cs.\n \n \n Monumental contracted Atacama Water SpA (\"AW\") to undertake a surface brine sampling campaign at the Company's Laguna Blanca Project\n \n between June 28 and July 6\n \n (Photo 1). Sediment samples were also collected, results from which are pending. The objective of the program was to confirm results of previous sampling campaigns carried out by Lithium Chile Inc.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Seven shallow auger holes were completed by Monumental at sites proximal to the Laguna Blanca brine pool, where the groundwater table was deemed close enough to surface to obtain a brine sample. One brine sample was also collected from the surface. Analysis of the 4 sample locations that contained brine (three auger holes and the surface sample) returned lithium values to 405 milligrams per litre (mg/l), with mean and median values of 306 mg/l and 297 mg/l, respectively (Figure 1). These lithium values are consiste...
