“Our combined perseverance over the last five years has culminated in this momentous milestone. We look forward with our strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium to the advancement of the Mariana Lithium brine project towards operational permitting” states Mr. Kirill Klip, President, International Lithium Corp. “This is a clear indication that our careful approach in identifying high quality projects at an early stage of development, whether they are brines or pegmatites, and sourcing strategic partners to assist in the development of these assets is proven successful. ILC intends to apply this approach and rapidly advance the Company’s portfolio of high quality lithium projects in this increasingly vital market segment.”
International Lithium Discovers Deeper Aquifer At the Mariana Lithium Brine Project In Argentina, A Joint Venture With Ganfeng Lithium.
We are very pleased to celebrate our 5th IPO anniversary with our strategic partner $4.5 Billion giant from China Ganfeng Lithium. These new discoveries at Mariana Lithium Brine J/V project in Argentina and at Avalonia Lithium Hard Rock J/V project in Ireland show International Lithium's very deep technical Team at its best, delivering the results based on the advanced exploration technologies developed by ILC both for lithium brine and lithium hard rock projects. On behalf of all shareholders, I would like to thank all ILC Team and particularly Gary Schellenberg, Anthony Covacs, John Harrop, Bruno Kasper and Mike Sieb for these outstanding exploration results bringing Mariana and Avalonia projects to the new level of development.
Mr Kirill Klip, President, International Lithium Corp. comments, “The recent exploration results show that Mariana is exhibiting the potential to be a significant source of lithium brine. The joint venture project, together with Ganfeng Lithium will strive to acquire the necessary data to rapidly advance the project to a pilot plant testing facility. We are currently experiencing recognition in the capital markets as to the importance of lithium supply and Argentina comes to the forefront of jurisdictions that have the ability to develop a secure supply of lithium raw materials for electric vehicles and the increasing energy storage markets.”
International Lithium And Ganfeng Lithium Discover New Pegmatite At The Avalonia Lithium Project, Ireland.
"We have another discovery at our Avalonia J/V project In Ireland with $4.5 billion giant from China Ganfeng Lithium."
"Gary Schellenberg, CEO, International Lithium Corp. comments, "This programme was successful in both delineating further mineralization at one of the project's main lithium pegmatites, and testing earlier stage targets we have advanced along the belt. Developing the pegmatite at Aclare is a high priority, but we also firmly believe in the potential for significant undiscovered pegmatites along the entire 30-kilometre belt. We are particularly looking forward to returning to explore the extensive pegmatite boulder trains at Moylisha"

It took International Lithium 7 years of building its Lithium business and 5 years of partnership with Ganfeng Lithium: $4.5 billion market cap giant from China - to receive this acknowledgement to celebrate our 5th IPO anniversary: Watch the video."
"Ganfeng has a strong commitment to supply Lithium product to various industries worldwide,” stated Ganfeng’s Director, Wang Xiaoshen, “so we clearly have a vested interest in these projects and have been very hands-on in the evaluation of ILC’s properties. Our company is the only one in the world that has commercial production capacities to extract Lithium from both brine and spodumene, and we continually implement cutting-edge technologies to our processes. I feel confident that this is a fit for our operations and the potential these projects hold." Read more."

Ganfeng Lithium and International Lithium Approve USD 12 Million Budget to Accelerate the Mariana Lithium Brine Project in Argentina
Vancouver, B.C. 18 July 2016, International Lithium Corp. (the “Company” or “ILC”) (TSX VENTURE:ILC.V) is pleased to announce that together with strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., (“GFL”, collectively “the Companies”) a budget of US $12 million is approved to accelerate the exploration and development program currently underway at the Mariana Lithium project in Argentina (News Releases May 11 and June 16, 2016).
Following a recent, highly encouraging site visit, executives from GFL and ILC reviewed and approved a budget proposal to complete definitive technical studies. These studies are critical for the filing of environmental permit applications to conduct pilot scale evaporation testing at the Mariana project site.
To achieve this, the Companies will extend the current drilling program and aim to have a maiden resource calculated for a portion of Salar de Llullaillaco in the fall/winter of 2016. In addition, the Companies will employ the results from recent bench scale evaporation and liming tests to design and construct a series of small scale evaporation test ponds at site. Hydrological, aquifer characterization, and environmental studies will be scheduled to meet the permitting target as well as short and long term pumping tests.
“Our combined perseverance over the last five years has culminated in this momentous milestone. We look forward with our strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium to the advancement of the Mariana Lithium brine project towards operational permitting” states Mr. Kirill Klip, President, International Lithium Corp. “This is a clear indication that our careful approach in identifying high quality projects at an early stage of development, whether they are brines or pegmatites, and sourcing strategic partners to assist in the development of these assets is proven successful.

International Lithium Corp. is an exploration company with an outstanding portfolio of projects, strong management ownership, robust financial support and a strategic partner and keystone investor Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., a leading China based lithium product manufacturer.
The Company’s primary focus is the Mariana lithium-potash brine project, a joint venture with Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. within the renowned South American “Lithium Belt” that is the host to the vast majority of global lithium resources, reserves and production. The 160 square kilometre Mariana project strategically encompasses an entire mineral rich evaporate basin that ranks as one of the more prospective salars or ‘salt lakes” in the region.
Complementing the Company’s lithium brine project are three rare metals pegmatite properties in Canada known as the Mavis, Raleigh, and Forgan projects; and one project in Ireland (Avalonia project) that encompasses an extensive 50km long pegmatite belt. The Avalonia project is under option to strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium and the Mavis and Raleigh projects with strategic partner Pioneer Resources Limited (PIO:ASX). The Mavis, Raleigh and Forgan projects together form the basis of the Company’s newly created Upper Canada Lithium Pool designated to focus on acquiring numerous prospects with previously reported high concentrations of lithium in close proximity to existing infrastructure.
With the increasing demand for high tech rechargeable batteries used in vehicle propulsion technologies and portable electronics, lithium is paramount to tomorrow’s “green-tech”, sustainable economy. By positioning itself with solid development partners and acquiring high quality grass roots projects at an early stage of exploration, ILC aims to be the resource explorer of choice for investors in green tech and build value for its shareholders.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Kirill Klip
