Rodinia Lithium Raises US$440,000 With Sale Of Certain Non-Core Assets

Toronto, Ontario, September 17, 2014: Rodinia Lithium Inc.  (“Rodinia” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: RM), has entered into a sale agreement with a private Argentine borate mining company to sell 600 hectares of mining rights comprising a portion of the Salar de Centenario (“Centenario”) property, held by the Company.  In exchange for the sale of a 100% interest in the mining rights comprising the 600 hectares of Centenario, Rodinia will receive US$440,000 payable in 22 monthly installments of US$20,000.   The sale agreement helps strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and does not impact Rodinia’s flagship Salar de Diablillos property. 

William Randall, President & CEO, commented, “The sale of the Añatuya & El Quevar claims that formed part of the Centenario group of claims helps strengthen the Company’s financial position, as we expect these monthly payments to cover the entirety of our fixed costs in Argentina, including on-site processing work and maintenance, overhead, and other associated local office costs associated with our flagship property.”

The first payment under the sale agreement has been received, and future payments are expected to be received by the Company on the first week of each month over the next 21 months.  The sale of the Añatuya and El Quevar claims reduces Rodinia’s Centenario property interest to approximately 500 hectares.  The Company has previously completed preliminary exploration on the Centenario claims and determined that in light of the quality and size of its Diablillos resource, continued advancement of Diablillos would create greater shareholder value than work at Centenario.  As a result, future work at Centenario was not anticipated in the foreseeable future and the Company determined that its sale would best support the Company’s current needs.

Gigafactory or 200 Gigafactories – Lithium Demand is Reinforced

Rodinia Lithium Inc. (“Rodinia” or the “Company”) is encouraged by the discussions and events held at this year’s World Energy Innovation Form.  The overarching theme is continued support for the expansion of the lithium-ion battery industry, which supports continued and increased demand for lithium carbonate.
“There are going to need to be a lot of gigafactories, if not from Tesla, then from someone else.  There’s essentially a quasi-infinite demand for energy storage, if the energy density and the price are good enough,” said Elon Musk, Chief Executive of Tesla Mortors.
Rodinia’s Salar de Diablillos lithium-potash project is located in mining friendly Salta Province, Argentina boasts an inferred National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource of 2.8Mt lithium carbonate equivalent and 11.2Mt potash with significant further resource expansion possibilities.  Processing work to date has confirmed the ability to produce battery grade lithium carbonate with sample results indicating purities consistently in excess of 99.5%.
The Company has completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Salar de Diablillos, which produced the following strong economic results:

Production Case:	15,000 tpa LC	25,000 tpa LC
Estimated Capital Investment:	US$144 million	US$220 million
Estimated Operating Expenses:      Per tonne LC      Per tonne LC with co-product credits      Per tonne KCl	US$1,519 (US$703) US$170	US$1,486 (US$762) US$160
Net Present Value (8% pre-tax):	US$561 million	US$964 million
IRR (pre-tax):	34%	36%
Annual Average Cash Flow:	US$89 million	US$150 million
Projected Payback (8% pre-tax):	1.6 years	1.5 years
Estimated Mine Life:	20+ years	20+ years

The work program required to take the deposit through Feasibility Study is 90% completed.
The Company controls 100% of the prospective producing area of the Salar de Diablillos, which eliminates resource sharing concerns and should enable a fast track through to production once the Feasibility Study is completed.
Continued support for the lithium-ion battery industry, and increased demand for lithium carbonate, should increase the opportunities for Rodinia to finance its construction CAPEX post Feasibility Study.

Rodinia Lithium Provides Processing Update On Progress At Diablillos

Toronto, Canada, June 11, 2013: Rodinia Lithium Inc. (“Rodinia” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: RM) is pleased to provide an update on its small scale pilot pond system at its wholly owned Salar de Diablillos lithium-potash project, located in Salta Province, Argentina.  The small scale pilot pond system, which has been working continuously since February 2012, has been providing on site experience and allowing for several advances in the metallurgical process.  Highlights from the pilot pond system include:

• Second batch of lithium carbonate produced, increasing purity to 99.79% Li2CO3
• Additional work completed to improve removal of interfering magnesium and sulphate ions
• Developed and demonstrated an alternate method to produce caustic soda during the process
• Use of caustic soda later  in the production process, potentially reducing reagent costs
• Work continues on site to improve yield, develop separation techniques and reduce raw material costs

William Randall, President & CEO of Rodinia, commented “While we experienced delays due to a variety of factors, including a third straight year of record rainfall during January and February, we are on track to deliver an updated economic study on the project.  Results of additional work conducted on the Salar lead us to believe the updated study will be in line with our previously completed Preliminary Economic Assessment, showing very robust figures with relatively low capital expenditure.  Management believes that the high returns and low capital output of the project are attractive components in the current financial climate.”

During the first quarter of 2013, a second process run on a larger scale was completed, resulting in the production of a second batch of lithium carbonate.  The process employed remains largely the same as the Company’s initial run, but the increased quantity of lithium carbonate produced allowed for a hot water wash to improve the quality of the lithium carbonate.  This additional step in the process resulted in increased lithium carbonate purity of 99.79%.

In addition to completing production of a second batch of lithium carbonate, the Company’s engineering team has been operating the small scale pilot pond system continuously in search of improvements in the process design.  The engineering department has been successful in lowering magnesium and sulphate concentration below levels achieved in previous runs.  Removal of magnesium and sulphate ions to achieve low concentration levels in accordance with the Company’s process design has been successful.

In addition, a significant development has been achieved in the production of caustic soda during the evaporation sequence.  An alternate method was tested on the Salar in an attempt to harvest caustic soda during the regular operation of the evaporation ponds.  The Company remains encouraged that the successful harvesting of caustic soda could result in lowered externally sourced reagent use, which in turn, has the potential to lead to meaningful operating cost savings.

The Company expects to provide further updates of work completed on the Salar de Diablillos over the coming months.

The project is supervised by Bob Cinq-Mars, P. Eng. Mr. Cinq-Mars is considered a Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43‐101 and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this press release. Mr. Cinq-Mars is not independent of the Company.

- First Prototype Production Well has Been Successfully Drilled and Installed in Proposed Well Field Site at Diablillos 

- In-Fill Drill and Pump Test Program Complete 

- Artesian Conditions Present in Numerous Drill Holes on Eastern Portion of the Salar Further Confirm the Near Optimal Acquifer Lithology 

- Results from the Latest Drill Program to Produce Updated Resource for Diablillos

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 12, 2012) - Rodinia Lithium Inc. ("Rodinia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RM)(OTCQX:RDNAF) is pleased to provide a progress update on the Company's 100% owned Diablillos lithium-potash brine project ("Project" or "Salar" or "Diablillos") in Salta, Argentina. The Company continues to advance the project towards feasibility by completing ten additional conventional mud rotary drill holes that totaled 1604 metres. A prototype production well, 250 metres in depth, was constructed with 10-inch casing down to basement. Other drilling initiatives included seven pump testing and monitoring wells, and two fresh water monitoring well. This latest round of drilling confirmed previously announced basin lithologies and provided definitive basin/basement contacts where previously estimated.

William Randall, Rodinia's President & CEO, commented, "Having mobilized an additional rig earlier in the year has enabled us to complete our work program on schedule. We now have all the required information for a resource update, which is the first important step towards completion of the Feasibility Study. We are extremely pleased with the progress our team has made and the results achieved to date."

Three of the drill holes designed for pump tests in the eastern portion of the Salar encountered strong artesian conditions. Flow rates of up to twenty-two litres per second from these holes have been measured. While this is positive for the long term prospects of the project, as it demonstrates high hydraulic conductivity and favourable lithology, it has limited the effectiveness of the pump tests. The pressures exerted by the artesian conditions are such that down hole work was restricted.

In addition, the Company announces that it has granted an aggregate of 1,140,000 stock options of the Company (the "Options") to officers, directors, consultants of the Company. The Options shall have an exercise price of $0.175 and shall expire on July 11, 2017. The Options remain subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and remain subject to the statutory four month hold period until November 12, 2012.

Rodinia Lithium Successfully Harvests Sylvinite On Site At Diablillos

• SUCCESSFUL HARVESTING OF SYLVINITE DURING REGULAR OPERATION OF PILOT ENGINEERING PROGRAM
• PILOT PROCESSING CONFIRMS EFFECTIVE REMOVAL OF SYLVINITE IN AN ISOLATED POND USING CONVENTIONAL EVAPORATION BASED PROCESSING
• EVAPORATION CYCLE OF INITIAL PAN PILOT TEST SERIES COMPLETE CONFIRMING INITIAL PORTION OF THE METALLURGICAL PROCESS DESCRIBED IN PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT

Toronto, Canada, May 14, 2012: Rodinia Lithium Inc. (“Rodinia” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: RM; OTCQX: RDNAF) is pleased to report that sylvinite has been successfully produced and harvested at the Company’s 100% owned Diablillos lithium-potash brine project (“Project” or “Salar” or “Diablillos”) in Salta, Argentina.   Sylvinite, a potash and sodium chloride salt, has been harvested during operation of the pilot engineering program being conducted on site.  The results of the brine geochemical development during this pilot cycle was within the Company’s expectations and offers significant confirmation of the initial portion of the metallurgical process described in the Company’s Preliminary Economic Assessment conducted on Diablillos dated December 22, 2011 and filed on the SEDAR profile of the Company at www.sedar.com (the “PEA”).

William Randall, Rodinia’s President & CEO, commented, “Having harvested sylvinite during the regular operation of our pilot engineering program is a major milestone for the Company.  We remain confident that these results confirm our ability to produce potash from Diablillos using conventional methods employed by other major brine producers in South and North America.  This asset continues to meet our targeted milestones as we advance towards feasibility and production.”

This initial result from the pilot engineering program is from the first series of solar evaporation tests at ambient conditions of the Salar.  The evaporation was started May 2011 and concluded in April 2012.  The first series is one of five evaporation tests in progress.  Each test in pools and pans were started at different times of the year to see the effect of weather on the evaporation cycle chemistry.  The resultant brine from these evaporation tests will subsequently be processed for recovery of boron and lithium products.

The process engineering department continues to monitor the evolution of both the pools and pans installed on site at approximately 4050 metres above sea level.  As announced previously, a first stage of magnesium and sulphate removal has been completed, followed by successful removal of sylvinite in the ensuing step, confirming that potash is going to be a valuable by-product of an eventual lithium carbonate production facility.

RODINIA LITHIUM COMMENCES CONSTRUCTION OF PILOT PRODUCTION FACILITY AT DIABLILLOS

• THREE PHASE PROGRAM TO BE IMPLEMENTED, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF EVAPORATION PANS, POOLS AND LINED PONDS
   
• EVAPORATION PANS AND LARGER POOLS CURRENTLY INSTALLED AND IN OPERATION
   
• PILOT PRODUCTION PONDS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE OVER 25 HECTARES IN SIZE
   
• FINAL PILOT PRODUCTION FACILITY WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING UP TO 200 TONNES OF LITHIUM CARBONATE A YEAR

Toronto, Canada, February 15, 2012: Rodinia Lithium Inc. (“Rodinia” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: RM; OTCQX: RDNAF) is pleased to announce that construction and operation of a pilot production facility has commenced on its 100% owned Salar de Diablillos lithium brine project (“Diablillos” or “Salar”) located in Salta Province, Argentina.  The pilot production facility aims to confirm the proposed process described in the recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) dated December 22, 2011 filed on SEDAR and its results will be incorporated into a Feasibility Study.  The facility aims to produce battery grade lithium carbonate on site, reflecting the operating conditions of a potential final production facility, including production of potash and boric acid.
“In conjunction with initiating our first production sized well, Rodinia has initiated work to complete the construction and operation of a pilot production facility that is anticipated to produce boric acid, potash and battery grade lithium carbonate on site,” commented William Randall, President and CEO of Rodinia.  “The three phase program allows us to work out any potential problem areas before we reach that phase in our larger lined pond system, allowing the Company to develop the project more aggressively.  In addition to confirming the processing flow sheet, the pilot production facility will allow us to demonstrate the potentially low production costs estimated in the recent PEA.”
Description of the Pilot Program
Phase I-Evaporation Pans: 
Seasonal evaporation rates and the natural phase chemistry of the Diablillos brine are being determined through the use of six standard evaporation pans, each 4 feet in diameter and 25cm tall, buried in the ground near the existing weather station.  Pan A contains fresh water and is used to determine the evaporative potential at Diablillos.  Pans 1, 2 and 3 are filled with the indigenous brine, and refilled in sequence, to concentrate the brine and to measure evaporation rates versus density.  Crystal and residual brine samples from pans 4 and 5 are collected every two days and analyzed to evaluate the evolving natural phase chemistry.  The final concentrated brine will be used to conduct bench testing and process evaluation to maximize the recovery of lithium, the recovery of potassium and boron co-products and to determine the size of production ponds.  Pan A, and pans 1, 2 and 3 have been in place since May 2011;  pans 4 and 5 are recent additions to increase concentrated brine volume for bench tests. 
Phase II - Evaporation Pools/Bench Testing
The evaporation pools will provide a large volume of concentrated brine for bench tests.  Ten evaporation pools, each 10 square meters in area, have been installed adjacent to the evaporation pans.  The pools have been filled with brine from a well located in the proposed production field as noted in the PEA.  Bench scale processing of the concentrated bittern from these pools will further define the processing scheme tested in Phase I and refine the economic aspects of the process flow sheet. 
Phase III - Pilot Ponds/Pilot Plant
Bench scale process testing will be ramped up to larger pre-production volumes through the construction, filling, evaporation and processing of brine in large pilot evaporation ponds.  The ponds will cover approximately 25 hectares and will be lined.  Initially, brine from the production well will fill the entirety of the pond area.  As evaporation occurs the brine will be concentrated in a larger initial pond as it reaches saturation.   The ponds will then be used in sequence to demonstrate the proposed process to isolate sodium (“Na”), potassium (“K”), and magnesium (“Mg”) salts and produce a concentrated lithium-rich bittern.  The process is also anticipated to harvest sylvinite.  In addition, exploration is underway to define a suitable area of the Salar's surface for an unlined pond, which will have minimal leakage. This pond is anticipated to be the largest of the commercial production ponds and used for the primary evaporation stage.  A pilot plant will be designed and assembled on site. It is intended to process the resultant lithium-rich bittern.
