Tabalong coal deposit in Indonesia, which is projected to begin
production in late 2012, and its Mt Webber Iron Ore deposit joint
venture, which is scheduled to begin production in 2013.

Amongst other mineral assets, Altura owns the world-class Pilgangoora
lithium project in Western Australia, where they recently announced they
have defined a JORC (Australian Joint Ore Reserves Committee) compliant
inferred resource of 25.2 million tonnes of Spodumene bearing Pegmatite
which grades 1.23% Li20, for a contained resource of 310,000 tonnes of
lithium oxide.

Lithium Corporation′s president Tom Lewis commented, 'I am extremely
pleased that Altura Mining has decided to invest in Lithium Corporation.
They are a strong development and production company that shares
Lithco′s goals and outlook. I look forward to any and all future
collaboration with Altura.?

Lithium Corporation is actively exploring two lithium brine prospects in
Nevada, and anticipates further drilling at it San Emidio prospect later
this month. The Company is also hopeful that its Fish Lake Valley
prospect will dry sufficiently shortly so that the Company can get a
lightweight drilling machine on the playa, and conduct the
long-anticipated drill program there. Additionally Lithco has been
evaluating other lithium prospects, while working to generate more.
