[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Lithium Corp. (CSE: ULTH; OTC: ULTHF; FWB: 0ULA) (“United” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results of drilling from the Kietyönmäki Project (“Kietyönmäki” or the “Project”), in Finland. The Company completed approximately 1,450 metres (“m”) of diamond drilling targeting the lithium-mineralized Main Dyke. Drill-confirmed to be more than 200 m long, up to 25 m wide and extending to a depth of at least 160 m, the expansion of the Main Dyke remains open along strike to the southeast and at depth. The geology of the host rocks and pegmatite composition at Kietyönmäki are similar to that observed in the Kaustinen region of Finland, which hosts the Keliber Lithium Project, owned 85% by Sibanye-Stillwater Corp. The Keliber Project hosts 17 million tonnes at 1.02% Li2O according to its mineral resource estimate in its October 2022 Definitive Feasibility Study.1 Highlights High-grade lithium oxide results include: 1.52% Li2O over 25.95 m from 33.70 m depth down hole in hole ULDH-3; and 1.45% Li2O over 29.50 m from 69.10 m depth down hole in ULDH-4. This new drilling builds upon positive historical drill results from previous operators including: 1.53% Li2O over 23 m drilled by the Finnish Geological Survey (“GTK”); and 1.10% Li2O over 42 m by previous operator Sunstone Metals Ltd. (“Sunstone”). Drilling confirmed the extent of the Main Dyke to be greater than 200 m in length and extending to at least 160 m depth, while remaining open along strike to the southeast and open at depth; Percussion drilling indicates that lithium-mineralized pegmatite is present as far as 230 m southeast of the Main Dyke outcrop; Boulder sampling recovered lithium-bearing pegmatite samples ranging from 0.88% Li2O to 2.44% Li2O. Pegmatite intercepts from percussion drilling and these boulder samples are expected to be followed up in early 2024 exploration work to generate drill targets; and Recently increased land package at Kietyönmäki to approximately 21,000 hectares (“ha”). Scott Eldridge, United’s President, and CEO stated: “We are pleased to release United’s maiden drill results in Finland. Previous operators had delivered encouraging results and we have now extended the known mineralized boundaries of the Main Dyke, which remains open. The Project has tremendous upside potentia...
