HLM Commences Resource Estimate update for the PAK Lithium Project in Ontario, Canada

“We are pleased to be in a position to advance the PAK Lithium Project to another level of confidence with a reputable firm such as WSP. We anticipate that the updated Mineral Resource Estimate should be completed in January, 2016. Further to a potentially increased size and level of confidence on the estimate of the lithium, tantalum, and rubidium contained therein, this milestone will be essential for any possible preparation of first reserve estimates and for determining the economic viability of the deposit.” commented Trevor R. Walker, President of HLM.

About the PAK Lithium Project

The PAK Lithium Project lies close to the boundary between two geological sub-provinces of the western Superior geologic province in northwestern Ontario and hosts a rare metals pegmatite deposit. The deposit is an LCT (lithium- cesium- tantalum) type pegmatite. These types of pegmatites have been the principal source of hard rock lithium, tantalum, rubidium and cesium ores mined in the world but there are comparatively few commercially-viable deposits.

HLM is actively exploring its 100% owned and optioned project which contains the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite. The deposit is one of the highest grade lithium deposits in North America which has a current Indicated Resource of 2.45 million tonnes of 1.81% Li₂O Eq. and Inferred Resource of 5.91 million tonnes of 2.01% Li₂O Eq. which has a technical/ceramic grade spodumene with low inherent iron (below 0.1% Fe₂O₃)^[1]. The deposit has adjacent zones that are enriched in rubidium and tantalum. HLM is also evaluating the phased co-production of rubidium and tantalum concentrates once lithium mineral production has been commercialized.

The deposit now has a known 480m strike length with an estimated true width varying from 10m to 125m with a sub-vertical orientation. The resource remains open to depth and along strike to the northwest and southeast. The Phase III and IV, diamond drill programs were conducted with the objectives to extend the known strike length and to upgrade the lithium Indicated mineral resource to a Measured category, and to possibly upgrade the Inferred mineral resource to a Measured and Indicated category.

About Houston Lake Mining Inc.
HLM’s goal is to become a fully integrated lithium, rubidium and tantalum producer through the development of the PAK Rare Metals Project in Ontario, Canada .  The Company's strategy is to take advantage of the global shift towards electric/hybrid vehicles and high quality consumer electronics by becoming a raw material supplier of the elements required for the pursuit of sustainable energy and other applications in high-tech electronics and metal alloys.

HLM has a total of 108,757,748 common shares issued and outstanding. For additional information, please visit the company website at www.houstonlakemining.com.
