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.

About Rodinia Lithium Inc.:

Rodinia Lithium Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company with a primary focus on Lithium exploration and development in Argentina.  The Company is also actively exploring the commercialization of a significant Potash co-product that is expected to be recoverable through the lithium harvesting process.

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.

About Rodinia Lithium Inc.:

Rodinia Lithium Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company with a primary focus on Lithium exploration and development in North and South America.  The Company is also actively exploring the commercialization of a significant Potash co-product that is expected to be recoverable through the lithium harvesting process.

Rodinia’s Salar de Diablillos lithium-brine project in Salta, Argentina, contains a recoverable resource of 2.82 million tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent and 11.27 million tonnes potassium chloride equivalent.  The project contains a recoverable inferred resource of 952,553,000 m3 grading 556 mg/L lithium and 6,206 mg/L potassium.

The Company also holds 100% mineral rights to approximately 70,000 acres in Nevada’s lithium-rich Clayton Valley in Esmeralda County, and is currently in the process of assessing the size, quality and processing alternatives of this deposit.  The Clayton Valley project is located in the only known lithium-brine bearing salt lake in North America, and looks to represent the only new source for domestic lithium carbonate supply.

The Projects are supervised by Ray Spanjers, Rodinia’s Manager of Exploration. Mr. Spanjers is considered a Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43‐101 and has read and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this release.

Readers are cautioned that the PEA is preliminary in nature and is partly based on inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA based on these mineral resources will be realized. The results depend on inputs that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those presented here.

Talison Lithium Sales up 53% as company experiences strong demand, tightening supply for Lithium

Talison Lithium Limited

TSX : TLH

October 11, 2011 06:00 ET

Talison Lithium Announces Preliminary First Quarter 2012 Sales Volume

PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 11, 2011) - Talison Lithium Limited (TSX:TLH) ("Talison" or the "Company") today announced its preliminary sales volume and production results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 ("Q1 FY2012"). The Company also provided an update on its three growth projects encompassing its Australian capacity expansion, lithium minerals conversion plant and Salares 7 brine project.

Preliminary Results
Sales volumes remain capacity constrained
Q1 FY2012 tonnes sold increased 53% compared to Q1 FY2011, to 80,315 tonnes lithium concentrate (or approximately 12,000 tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE")). Demand remains strong for all of Talison's technical and chemical-grade lithium concentrates. Sales volume is currently limited by the capacity of the processing plants at the Greenbushes Lithium Operations, and is expected to remain constrained until completion of the expansion of production capacity in Q4 FY2012.

The Company noted that sales are made in large shipments to customers, in varying proportions of technical-grade and chemical-grade lithium concentrates, which may result in variations between production and sales volumes in individual quarters. Q1 FY2012 production was 90,708 tonnes lithium concentrate (approximately 13,500 tonnes LCE), a 12% increase compared to Q1 FY2011. The difference between tonnes produced and tonnes sold in the quarter is due to orders in the process of being fulfilled.

Volume*		Three Months Ended Sept 30, 2011		Three Months Ended Sept 30, 2010		Percentage Change
Production		90,708		80,729		12%
Sales		80,315		52,525		53%
* Tonnes of lithium concentrate

Peter Oliver, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Talison continues to experience strong demand from customers across the world. This demand, together with a recent tightening in global lithium supply is expected to enhance Talison's pricing in the 2012 calendar year."

Growth Projects

Greenbushes Stage 2 Expansion On Schedule and On Budget
The Stage 2 Expansion at the Greenbushes Lithium Operations continues to proceed on schedule and on budget. The finished product stockpile is now complete, and foundations for the new chemical-grade plant are being constructed.
The Company continues to expect commissioning of the Stage 2 Expansion during Q4 FY2012 and is receiving strong interest from new and existing customers for output from the expansion. Upon completion, the Stage 2 Expansion will double current production capacity to approximately 740,000 tonnes per annum lithium concentrate (approximately 110,000 tonnes per annum LCE).

Proposed Minerals Conversion Plant
Responding to growing global demand for an additional secure supply of lithium carbonate, particularly from electric vehicle battery manufacturers, Talison is aggressively pursuing its proposed plant to convert lithium minerals into lithium carbonate ("Minerals Conversion Plant"). Plant capacity is proposed to be 20,000 tonnes per annum LCE in the first stage, and an additional 20,000 tonnes per annum LCE in the second stage.
A location study for the Minerals Conversion Plant is in progress. Potential locations have been narrowed to the Greenbushes Lithium Operations or one other Western Australian location.
The external engineering consultant is preparing estimates of capital costs and operating costs, which should be completed by the end of this calendar year. Based on initial indications of operating costs, Talison believes that it will be a globally competitive lithium carbonate producer.

Salares 7 Project – Phase 2 Exploration Program
Following the receipt of outstanding results for both lithium and potassium from the initial drilling at the Salares 7 Project in Chile, Talison is accelerating its exploration program and expects to invest approximately US$5 million on the Phase 2 program in FY2012.

A new custom built sonic drill rig with specific capabilities to suit the ground conditions at the Salares 7 Project is being assembled and the camp at the Project has recently reopened following the Chilean winter.
The Phase 2 program includes approximately 5,000 metres of drilling at Salar de la Isla, Salar de Las Parinas, Salar de Aguilar and Salar Grande, with the objective to define a lithium mineral resource estimate at Salar de la Isla.

Rodinia Lithium Inc.'s Auger Drilling Extends Near Surface High-Grade Lithium-Potash Zone 1.5 km at Salar de Diablillos

7:46AM ET on Friday Sep 24, 2010 by Marketwire

Rodinia Lithium Inc. ("Rodinia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: RM)(OTCQX: RDNAF), is pleased to report further sample results from its auger drill exploration program on its Salar de Diablillos lithium-brine project in Salta, Argentina ("Diablillos" or the "Salar"). The completion of an additional 38 sample holes has extended the previously defined 2.5 km by 4.0 km high-grade lithium-potash zone near surface by an additional 1.5 km along strike (see Press Release dated May 26, 2010 for additional details on the original high-grade zone definition).

William Randall, President and CEO of Rodinia, commented "It is encouraging that these additional auger drill holes have intersected grades similar to the previous auger drilling and has extended our high-grade zone an additional 1.5 km. We now have additional areas to target with our ongoing reverse circulation drilling. Coupling these results with drill hole D-RC-01 announced last week, which demonstrated a continuous aquifer to depths of at least 120 metres, provides additional support for the potential to delineate a large scale resource at Diablillos" (see Press Release dated September 17, 2010 for additional details on drill hole D-RC-01).
 
Based on the completed sampling program of 140 sample holes, the Diablillos auger drill exploration program returned lithium ("Li") values of up to 1,000 milligrams per litre ("mg/L") and potassium ("K") values of up to 11,000 mg/L. Focusing on the nucleus of the Salar, which the Company believes represents the highest probability for production (see Figure 1 below), results returned average Li of 845 mg/L, average K of 9,092 mg/L, and 762 mg/L boron ("B") with favourable magnesium ("Mg") to Li ratio of 3.75 and an attractive sulphate to lithium ratio. Previously reported results for the auger drill program were based on a total of 102 sample holes. The full set of results reinforce the Company's belief that Diablillos may contain high concentrations of lithium, potash and boron and that the project has the potential to become a lithium carbonate producer. The Company remains encouraged by the presence of near-surface brines that contain similar, and in many instances higher, lithium and potash concentrations to other established brine developers in South America.

The completed auger program successfully covered a large portion of the Salar which returned average results of 680 mg/L Li, 7,400 mg/L K, 669 mg/L B, 3.75 Mg:Li, and 10.73 SO4:Li. Certain portions of the salar and its margins could not be sampled due to more extensive overburden material. The auger drill has been modified to be able to successfully penetrate the hard calcium carbonate layers commonly encountered, therefore enabling the additional sampling reported in this press release. In general, lithium values decreased towards the salar margins to the north and south, however drilling will be required to establish whether this trend is consistent at depth. Rodinia has a reverse circulation drill program underway on the Salar, which amongst other things will test the depth of the aquifer, as well as the lithium potential under the areas sampled by the auger drill.

Throughout the auger sampling, Rodinia employed a sampling procedure designed to ensure sample integrity by minimizing contamination of brine samples through the dissolution of overlying sediments and evaporates that may be enriched in lithium. All the holes were drilled to a depth sufficient to ensure penetration of the overlying clay layer, which varies in thickness between one and over three metres. Below the clays, a medium to coarse-grained sand aquifer was encountered containing high-grade lithium brine in its porous space. A historical drill hole in the south eastern margin of the Salar indicates the presence of this aquifer to a vertical depth of at least 75 metres, with material coarsening at depth to a coarse basal conglomerate (SEGEMAR; www.segemar.gov.ar). Rodinia has also recently completed a reverse circulation discovery drill hole, drill hole D-RC-01, which indicated the presence of this aquifer to a vertical depth of at least 120 metres.

Sample integrity was maintained by pushing four inch casing down into the hole and pumping, where possible, the contents of the hole. The hole was then left to refill from the aquifer below, ensuring proper representation of brine geochemistry. This brine was then sampled and decanted before collection in sealed plastic containers that had been previously rinsed in the same brine. All samples were sent to ALS Laboratory Group, Environmental Division, in Fort Collins, CO, USA where Rodinia is sending both its Diablillos and Clayton Valley project samples.

The Project is supervised by William Randall, MSc (Geology), the President and CEO of Rodinia, and by Ray Spanjers, Rodinia's Manager of Exploration. Both Messrs. Randall and Spanjers are considered qualified persons, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and both have reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this release. According to the Company's sampling protocol, sample size is to exceed 300 millilitres and be stored in clean, secure containers for transportation. The prepared samples are then forwarded to the ALS Laboratory Group, Environmental Division, in Fort Collins, Co (USA) for analysis. A rigorous QA/QC program is implemented consisting of regular insertion of standards and blanks to ensure laboratory integrity.

Rodina Lithium discovers high grade lithium deposit on it's Argentina property.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Sep 17, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Rodinia Lithium Inc. ("Rodinia" or the "Company") /quotes/comstock/11v!e:rm (CA:RM 0.32, +0.04, +14.29%) (), is pleased to report that it has discovered high-grade lithium and potash during its first reverse circulation drill program on its Salar de Diablillos lithium-brine project in Salta, Argentina ("Diablillos" or the "Salar"). The Company is encouraged by these results and believes, based on analysis and previously published data, that they may be indicative of a sizeable, continuous aquifer capable of becoming a producer.

William Randall, President and CEO of Rodinia, commented "It is encouraging that this discovery drill hole has intersected grades similar to our auger drill program, only now to depths of 120 metres. The results of this drill hole, and the geophysical data available, provides further encouragement for the potential to delineate a large scale resource. Rodinia has mounted the first ever drill campaign for new lithium and potash on Diablillos and will continue to work on defining a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate on the Salar by year's end."

Results from the discovery drill hole D-RC-01, the first drill hole completed on the project, intersected lithium ("Li") values of up to 810 milligrams per litre ("mg/L") and returned averages of 713 mg/L Li, 9,000 mg/L potassium ("K"), and 543 mg/L boron ("B") over the 120 metre drill hole depth. The hole, located in the north western portion of the salar nucleus, intersected lithologies primarily composed of sand and gravel, with coarser material encountered down hole. The zone continues to be open at depth and in all directions.

The lithium concentrations measured in the discovery drill hole range from 650 to 810 mg/L, demonstrating a remarkably even grade distribution over the aquifer, identifying the entire stratigraphic column as a potential producer. Samples were taken every six metres to ensure different characteristics of the brine column were captured, with the intention of identifying the horizons with the most potential for production. The geochemistry of the brine samples remained comparable to those encountered during auger drilling (see previous press release dated May 26, 2010), with average magnesium-to-lithium ratio of 3.7 and a sulphate-to-lithium ratio of 9.3.

A sampling procedure was enforced by management to ensure sample integrity during the drill program. Where possible, brine and sediments samples were air lifted, and water restricted to the upper part of the hole before the water table was intercepted. Once brine bearing horizons were intercepted, drilling was halted and the drilling pipe lifted 2 feet or more to allow the total flushing of the internal pipe by means of air pressure for approximately ten minutes or until the brine appeared reasonably clean of sediment. After sufficient air lifting of the brine, a sample was collected in 500 ml sample bottles that had been washed three times with the brine. Liquid was also collected in five gallon buckets and the time of filling of the bucket recorded, so as to aid in quantifying the formational flow.

Rodinia has completed 6 drill holes on the newly discovered Salar de Diablillos basin. Generally, the holes intersected unconsolidated sand and gravel saturated with high salinity brines. Flow rates in the sand and gravels have been highly variable ranging from 40 litres per minute to 1,080 litres per minute, including artesian conditions in some drill holes. The Company intends to provide updated information on the remaining discovery drill holes upon receipt of assay results from the laboratory.

The Project is supervised by William Randall, MSc (Geology), the President and CEO of Rodinia, and by Ray Spanjers, Rodinia's Manager of Exploration. Both Messrs. Randall and Spanjers are considered qualified persons, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and both have reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this release.
