Lithium Corporation Exploration Update Spring 2024

Rhea-AI Summary

Lithium (OTCQB: LTUM) has provided an update on its exploration activities. The company recently added 3,957 acres to its Las Pilas claim block in southern British Columbia, bringing the total to approximately 8,775 acres. Geochemical analysis indicates potential fluorspar mineralization, a critical component for lithium-ion batteries. The company plans to intensify exploration efforts in the coming months. Leveraging AI and advanced analytical tools, Lithium continues its systematic work on critical minerals, primarily focused in Nevada's Great Basin.

Positive

• Increased total holdings at Las Pilas to 8,775 acres.
• Geochemical work indicates strong potential for fluorspar mineralization.
• Fluorspar is classified as a 'critical mineral' important for lithium-ion batteries.
• Plans to ramp up exploration efforts in the summer months.
• Employs advanced AI and analytical tools for exploration.

Negative

• No confirmed commercial fluorspar deposits yet.
• Additional expenses anticipated for intensified exploration efforts.
• Dependence on the speculative success of geochemical indicators.

Elko, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - June 6, 2024) - Lithium Corporation (OTCQB: LTUM) ("LTUM" or "the Company"), a North American mineral exploration company focused on energy metals for the growing energy storage sector and high-tech industries, is pleased to update investors on exploration activities undertaken by the Company over the past several months.

In a press release dated April 09, 2024, Lithium Corporation first introduced the newly staked Las Pilas claim block prospective for hosting fluorspar mineralization. Las Pilas is an approximately 5,178 acre (2,095.54 hectare) property proximal to the past producing Rock Candy fluorspar mine in the Greenwood Mining Division, in southern British Columbia, Canada. Since that time, the Company staked an additional 3,957 acres in the area for total holdings of approximately 8,775 acres (3,551 hectares). Geochemical work has been undertaken to confirm and expand on previous regional work done in the area that identified up to 750 ppb fluorine in streams emanating from portions of the Company's block. This is believed to be a strong indicator of similar or better mineralization in the general area, comparative to that seen at the Rock Candy mine. Lithium Corporation eagerly anticipates further exploring the Las Pilas property and plans to ramp up efforts here in the coming summer months.

Considered essential to electrification and a low-carbon future, fluorine and its source material fluorspar are classified as 'critical minerals' by Governments in both the United States and Canada. Fluorinated compounds have an increasing role in next generation lithium-ion batteries. Their presence significantly improves thermal stability along with safety and have been demonstrated to improve battery performance in sub-zero temperatures. Leading battery industry market intelligence firm Benchmark Minerals reports, "fluorspar demand from the lithium-ion battery sector is expected to exceed 1.6 million tonnes by 2030".

To-date, Lithium Corporation has been performing ongoing systematic generative work on critical minerals focused mainly on Nevada's Great Basin, but occasionally looking further afield when opportunities present. The Company employs a proprietary geochemical database, augmented by public domain and private geophysical and geological data, along with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate prospective targets worthy of follow-up. Field work commenced on the first targets identified, with personnel aided by the newest in handheld analytical equipment (XRF & LIBS) in the evaluation of these targets. Going forward, the Company is working to determine how advanced levels of AI may best assist exploration work.
