A.I.S Resources Completes Road and Drill Pad at Guayatayoc Mina, Drill Hole One to Commence 23 Jan 19
Vancouver, January 18, 2019 - A.I.S. Resources Ltd. (TSX-V - AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the "Company" or "AIS") is pleased to announce that the 3km road to drill hole DH1 and the drill pad have been completed. The Salar contains brine less than 0.6m below the surface so an 0.8m elevated road was constructed to support heavy trucks and machinery. The elevated road held up well with only slight rains in our area although rains were heavy elsewhere in the region. The rig, drill rods and supplies are located only three kilometres away. Drillers have provided their approval of the road and have commenced preparations to begin drilling shortly.

This is the composite plan at 300m depth of resistivity. The dark and light purple areas are below 0.025 ohm-m value which indicates potentially other elements beside sodium chloride is reducing the resistivity. The red lines are the border between Quebralena community and Rincondillas community. The black line is the VES geophysics traverse line. The original location was found to be on Rincondillas land which is pending a drilling permit so it was moved 100m to Quebralena land which has a drilling permit in place.

Brine and waste wells for drill rig
Significant progress has been made with the Ricondillas community and we believe they are very close to signing an assembly document allowing us to progress to a UGAMP meeting. Our traditional owners liaison team is meeting with the community on January 20, 2019.
Phil Thomas CEO said that, "This first drill hole will give us a significant amount of data allowing us to fine tune our drill program assuming we intersect lithium bearing aquifers. The trench above the DH1 hole recorded 47ppm lithium and 150 ppm magnesium. Our tenement area is 8km wide by 5km in length with low resistivity zones at about 200m with depths of up to 100 metres so with lithium on surface its highly prospective. Our first drill hole is located over the widest point of the low resistivity zone in Guayatayoc Mina so we are very anxious to get the results of the packer brine sampling test and examine the core."
