Lithium Chile Announces Results from Its Recent Laguna Blanca Lithium and Cesium Sampling Program

SALAR de LAGUNA BLANCA SAMPLING HIGHLIGHTS:

• - Initial assays from surface brine samples in the follow up grid area assayed 1035 - 1230 mg/l lithium plus 13500 - 15200 mg/l potassium.

  - Cesium assays from these brines were higher than the detection limit of the analytical technique used and are being re assayed.

  - Initial sediment sample assays define a 4+ km sq area enriched in cesium ranging from 75 - 690 ppm and averaging 240 ppm which is open to expansion to the NW, NE and SE.

SALAR de LOS MORROS TEM PROGRAM:

The Company announces that its reconnaissance TEM geophysical survey at its Los Morros lithium property was completed February 25th with results expected mid-March. The TEM survey is intended to define locations for three exploration holes which the Company will file for permission to drilling immediately after reviewing the TEM survey results.

Steve Cochrane President and CEO comments: "We are very encouraged by the results we see from our expanded Laguna Blanca exploration program. We continue to see very high grades of lithium from the brine sampling but also Cesium values above the cutoff limits within the current 4+ km sq anomaly identified to date. This once again highlights the advantage of having a number of targets over a diverse portfolio of prospects."

TERRY WALKER VP EXPLORATION PROVIDES SALAR de COIPASA UPDATE

Due to COVID-19 the courts in Chile are still restricted to handling serious crime and emergency health and welfare cases. The court had previously stated they would grant Lithium Chile the right of access to carry out our proposed drill program at Coipasa. The amount of financial compensation the Company is obligated to pay to the local indigenous community, who holds title to the surface rights, is determined by the courts. Pre-COIVID-19, Lithium Chile was required to have a court certified assessor visit the property and evaluate its commercial value as part of said compensation award process. Unfortunately, the court had not set the compensation award before the COVID-19 restrictions were imposed but it is expected to be under review in March.
