Lithium Corporation Signs Option Agreement to Acquire Graphite Property

RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lithium Corporation (OTCBB: LTUM) (the "Company", or "Lithco") is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement to acquire the Mount Heimdal Flake Graphite property in the Slocan Mining Division of British Columbia.

The Mt Heimdal property is comprised of three (3) mineral claims, which encompass 2,582 acres (1,045 hectares) of highly metamorphosed rock. The property is roughly six miles (10 kms) South of Eagle Graphite's Black Crystal quarry, and is located within the same package of gneisses, graphite mineralized marbles, and calc-silicate gneisses. Data from BC Geological Survey assessment reports indicate that mineralization grading up to 4.8% graphitic carbon may be located on the property.

High purity graphite is presently the most widely used anode material for Lithium Ion battery technology, and typically greater than ten times more graphite is used in comparison to lithium in Lithium Ion battery production. In addition to increased graphite consumption due to growth in Lithium Ion batteries sales, carbon fiber composites are increasingly being utilized in auto, and aircraft construction. Also, presently there is considerable research into graphene, a flake graphite product, and it is possible a myriad of new applications or discoveries will ensue as a direct result of this work.

The terms of the option agreement dictate that Lithco spend $15,000 in exploration on the property, and complete an assessment report by 30 November of 2013. Upon successful completion of the program and the report Lithium Corporation will earn a 100% interest in the claims, subject to a 1.5% Net Overriding Royalty to the vendor from the proceeds of production. The Company intends to conduct prospecting and geological field work on this property during the summer of 2013.

Lithco believes that the inclusion of the Mount Heimdal Flake Graphite property to the existing lithium brine exploration portfolio is complimentary. The company also intends to drill its Fish Lake Valley, and San Emidio lithium brine prospects once surface conditions improve later in 2013. In addition to these properties Lithium Corporation continues to generate and evaluate other exploration prospects.
