International Lithium Corp. Project Summary
Benefiting from the early acquisition of select high potential lithium brine and hard rock rare metals pegmatite properties through TNR, ILC at its initiation possesses a robust portfolio of projects staged for aggressive exploration.
The Mariana lithium brine project in Argentina, covering an expansive 160 square kilometres, revealed highly compelling geochemistry from a cursory investigation, reporting average grades of 440 mg/l lithium and 12,700 mg/l potassium. The potassium levels were unexpected and represent one of the highest grades comparative to any of the neighbouring salars outside of the world class operation on the Atacama salar.

Shortly following listing, preparation is to commence for a phase 1 drill program with the objective to identify and isolate separate brine horizons for a first-time representative characterization of the subsurface brine geochemistry. Subsequent drilling will continue to delineate and add to the confidence level of the geochemistry of the subsurface brine pool with an Inferred Resource estimate targeted for early next year. The Mariana project is expected to experience the most rapid advancement of any of the projects within the current ILC portfolio.

ILC holds three additional lithium brine properties in Nevada (Fish Lake, Runway and Sarcobatus Flats) located in adjacent valleys to the Silver Peak operation in Clayton Valley, the sole lithium brine producer in North America which has been in operation since 1966.

This past year, in an integrated regional lithium exploration approach using geochemical and basin modeling utilizing a detailed gravity survey, ILC identified multiple drill targets across all three properties. These targets exhibit analogous geological features which provided both a source and trap for the lithium brines currently extracted at Silver Peak. In 2011, ILC is planning to mobilize a drill to all three properties, target the lithium brine aquifers within the stratigraphy and test their viability.

ILC's property portfolio is well balanced by a number of highly prospective rare metals' hard-rock pegmatite projects that have been selected by ILC's technical experts under stringent guidelines. The key outstanding characteristics shared by all the rare metals' projects are their underexplored nature, excellent accessibility, under-analyzed rare metals' history, initial high confidence level that additional exploration will add project value and ultimately the potential to develop the projects to address the global technological growth in demand for the rare metals' suite of elements.

Highlighting these rare metals' projects is the Moose property located near the shore of Great Slave Lake in the NWT which was a minor lithium and tantalum producer in the 1950's with reported production of 119 tonnes of lithium ore and an estimated 4,409 tonnes of high grade tantalum-niobium ore. The 2010 exploration program was limited as to exposure, however a channel sample returned 1.50 wt% Li2O over 7.5 metres confirming the continuity of high grade lithium across substantial widths within the pegmatite and a muck pile returned 8.44 wt% Li2O indicating that the source pegmatite is highly evolved and underscores the future potential of the property. In support of the untested potential, the historic exploration and mining did not penetrate below the 25 metre mark or extend beyond the local workings.

In addition, surface exploration on the Mavis Lake rare metals' project, located 15 km Northeast of Dryden, Ontario, revealed high-grade well-evolved lithium and tantalum zonation as well as significant levels of cesium and rubidium across multiple pegmatite bodies. Both the Moose and Mavis Lake projects are clearly emerging as premier multi-element rare metals projects and warrant drill programs in 2011 to determine their potential.

Potentially overshadowing the other rare metals projects is the Blackstairs project in Ireland consisting of eight prospecting licenses totaling 292 square kilometres hosting an extensive lithium pegmatite belt extending for more than 50kms. Historical exploration has been highly localized with reported boulder occurrences suggesting potentially large undiscovered pegmatites. The pegmatites that have been observed reveal well developed internal zoning reflecting strong fractionation and multi-rare-metals mineralizing potential.

The merits of ILC's portfolio of lithium and rare metal projects, particularly the Mariana, have garnered significant interest from retailers, institutions and international investors. A dedicated effort has been expended this past year prior to listing in the establishment of a strong network of interested parties. Significant advancement of ILC's projects through 2011 in conjunction with the progression of the lithium and rare metals' sectors will potentially have a marked effect on ILC in the coming period.

TNR Gold Corp.: International Lithium Corp. Spin-Out Record Date Set

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 12, 2011) -TNR Gold Corp. ("TNR") (TSX VENTURE:TNR) and wholly-owned International Lithium Corp. ("ILC") (jointly the "Company") are pleased to announce the TSX Venture Exchange has approved the Company's Plan of Arrangement involving the spin-out of TNR's lithium and rare metals property interests into a separate public company, ILC. The Plan of Arrangement will close and be given effect on May 19, 2011 (the "Record Date") [Note 1].
Key Highlights:

TSX Venture Exchange approves the Company's Plan of Arrangement, ILC spin-out;
Sets Record Date / Effective Date for May 19, 2011;
May 16, 2011 is the last Trading Day whereby eligible TNR Shareholders at the close of market will receive the ILC Unit distribution in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement [Note 1];
ILC financing will close concurrently with Plan of Arrangement; and
Strategic Relationship with Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. solidifies as Plan of Arrangement approaches completion.

As part of the process, a separate press release will be issued on or following the Effective Date providing further details for the listing of ILC's common shares and share purchase warrants once listing conditions have been satisfied.
Plan of Arrangement
The Plan of Arrangement, which is fully described in the Company's Information Circular, dated May 10, 2010, effectively involves a restructuring of the Company's business and assets in order to separate its rare metals mineral property interests from its other precious and base metals assets.
Pursuant to the Arrangement:

TNR will transfer its lithium and rare metals mineral properties, excluding the Mariana lithium brine property, to ILC for 10,000,000 ILC common shares and 10,000,000 ILC share purchase warrants, each whole ILC share purchase warrant exercisable to acquire one additional share of ILC at $0.375 per share for two years ("ILC Warrants").
Concurrent with the closing of the Plan of Arrangement, ILC will exercise the Mariana Option Agreement whereby, ILC will acquire a 100% interest in and to the Mariana Lithium Brine property in exchange for the reimbursement of TNR's costs in acquiring, maintaining and exploring the Mariana Property, of which $1,000,000 shall be payable through the issuance of 7,000,000 ILC common shares and 7,000,000 ILC Warrants, and the balance of which shall be payable in cash.
Every TNR shareholder will exchange its common shares in TNR for one (1) new common share of TNR and one-quarter of one (0.25) common share of ILC and one-quarter of one (0.25) ILC Warrant.
TNR warrant holders will receive on exercise of each warrant one new common share of TNR and one-quarter of one (0.25) common share of ILC. The exercise price paid will be split between TNR and ILC on the same ratio that the fair market value of the Spin-out properties has to the fair market value of all assets of TNR.

Note 1: The Record Date allows for a three day standard settlement of accounts from a May 16, 2011 Trade Date.

Therefore May 16, 2011 will be the last day to acquire TNR shares, through normal stock market acquisition procedures, which are eligible pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement for conversion into one (1) new common share of TNR and one-quarter of one (0.25) common share of ILC and one-quarter of one (0.25) ILC Warrant.

For the avoidance of doubt, if an investor was to purchase shares of TNR on May 17, 2011 through the stock market, that investor will not receive ILC common shares and ILC Warrants through the Plan of Arrangement. Such investor will receive only new common shares of TNR.

ILC Financing
In order to complete the Plan of Arrangement, ILC intended to raise a minimum of $2.5 million to provide ILC with sufficient operating and administration funds to satisfy Exchange requirements for listing (the "Financing") however due to the level of demand the Financing is currently oversubscribed with the Company receiving $3 million in commitments.

The Financing consists of units in ILC offered at a price of $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one ILC Warrant. Each ILC Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of ILC at a price of $0.375 for a period of two years from the date of closing ("ILC Units"). Certain fees may be payable on a portion of the placement, in compliance with Exchange requirements. The common shares and ILC Warrants comprising the ILC Units sold under the Financing will be restricted from trading for 4 months in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. ("Ganfeng Lithium"), a leading China based multi-product lithium manufacturer has committed through a Strategic Relationship Agreement to an initial strategic investment consisting of a 9.9% equity stake in ILC. Ganfeng Lithium brings significant current and future project development assistance capability. For further details regarding Ganfeng Lithium refer to the Company's press release dated April 18, 2011.

TNR and Non-Executive Chairman Kirill Klip plan to participate in the Financing.

Alternative Energy Push Drives Capstone Turbine and Ballard Power Higher

8:16AM ET on Wednesday May 04, 2011 by Marketwire

As surging oil prices begin to damped the strength of the global economic recovery, investors are hopeful that the fuel cell sector will get a boost from a stronger push for alternative sources of energy. Fuel cells can be used for vehicles, heating and cooling systems and backup power for cell phone towers. On the downside, fuel cells have been accused of being expensive, leading competitors to argue that microturbines hold a brighter future. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the Industrial Electrical Equipment Industry and provides research reports on Capstone Turbine Corporation (NASDAQ: CPST) and Ballard Power Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDP). Access to the full company reports can be found at:

Fuel cells convert the stored energy in fuels like natural gas or hydrogen gas into electricity without combustion.

They are somewhat similar to batteries, although fuel must be fed continuously to them. Microturbines are small power generation systems using a gas turbine engine, based on related turbines used in transportation. Both fuel cells and microturbines can operate on a variety of fuels, including natural gas and renewable fuels such as landfill gas.

Capstone Turbines argues that fuel cells are expensive, and require significantly higher government incentive levels to stimulate customer investment than Capstone's microturbines.

Earlier this week, Burnaby-based fuel cell developer Ballard Power Systems, posted a fiscal first quarter net loss of 10.2 million, compared to loss of $6.6 million in the year ago period. The company said the net loss reflects a $3.3 million gain on the sale of assets in relation to the land portion of the March 2010 sale and leaseback of Ballard's corporate headquarters building. Revenues surged 29 percent year-on-year reflecting strong growth of 40% in fuel cell products.

Earlier this year Ballard entered into a contract for the supply of fuel cell power modules to power five zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell buses operated by the HyNor Oslo Buss group, to service the greater Oslo, Norway area.

About DAVI LUXURY BRAND GROUP INC.

DAVI LUXURY BRAND GROUP, INC., founded by Carlo Mondavi, grandson of American Icon Robert Mondavi, develops, licenses and markets luxury skin care products using the antioxidants found in wine and grapes. The company markets skincare products under the "DAVI Skin" and "DAVI" brand names. The products currently are provided as amenities at prestige hotels and as first class in-flight airline amenities. The company's goal is to also market its branded skincare products through upscale department stores, specialty retailers, prestige resorts, salons and spas, on cruise ships, and through airline duty-free shops. The company's skincare products contain minerals, vitamins and nutrients that are found in a by-product of the wine making process called the pomace. Planting techniques at select vineyards produce deeper vines with a lower yield of grapes per vine. After processing, these grapes yield higher concentrations of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients than grapes from other vineyards. Additionally, the uniquely long maceration process to which these grapes are subjected, yield polyphenols in relatively high quantity. Polyphenols are the free radical scavengers that, among other things, help to protect collagen and elastin fibers and prevent the destruction of hyaluronic acid in the skin. Management believes that the use of this pomace will allow for the creation of skin cremes that can help fight the natural aging process of the skin.

Rodinia Lithium Continues to Intersect High Grade Lithium and Potash at Shallow Depths

Rodinia Lithium Inc.

TSX VENTURE : RM
OTCQX : RDNAF

May 05, 2011 08:30 ET

- DRC-17 INTERSECTED 640 mg/L LITHIUM OVER 108 METRES WITH VALUES UP TO 720 mg/L LITHIUM AND 7,400 mg/L POTASSIUM

- BASEMENT INTERSECTED APPROXIMATELY 38.5 METRES DEEPER THAN PREDICTED

- RESULTS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THE RECOVERABLE RESOURCE
- EXPLORATION PROGRAM IS ONGOING AT THE SALAR DE DIABLILLOS

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 5, 2011) - Rodinia Lithium Inc. ("Rodinia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RM)(OTCQX:RDNAF) is pleased to announce results from its continued reverse circulation drill program at its Salar de Diablillos project ("Diablillos" or "Salar") located in Salta Province, Argentina. Drilling successfully resumed at Diablillos late February, after experiencing heavier rains than usual during January and February 2011. It is anticipated that the results, summarized below, may expand the resource at depth and laterally, while confirming the continuity of the aquifers and the contained lithium brines.

William Randall, President CEO of Rodinia, commented "We continue to intersect high quality lithium and potash brines on the Salar de Diablillos, evidenced by DRC-17 in the north-eastern margin of the Salar. With this intersection and the drilling that is ongoing, we believe that this may increase the size of our recoverable lithium and potash resource. This is a great start to what is expected to be a busy remainder of the year as we advance the Diablillos project, through the completion of exploration activities and culminating in the development of a preliminary economic assessment of the property."

DRC-12R is an extension of DRC-12 (please see press release dated January 13, 2011 for further detail regarding DRC-12) and targeted brines at depth below the resource area. DRC-12R successfully reached depths below the resource area encountering brines grading up to 620 mg/L lithium ("Li") at the bottom of the hole. The sequence is dominated by sand and gravel lithologies that formed the host for the bulk of the 2,817,000 tonne recoverable lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE") resource estimate announced April 1, 2011.

DRC-17 was drilled on the north-eastern margin of the Salar to a total depth of 156 metres and encountering the basement at 141.5 metres. The basement encountered in this drill hole is highly fractured exhibiting flow rates of up to 86 l/m and lithium concentrations up to 720 mg/L Li at the bottom of the hole. The basement was intersected approximately 38.5 metres deeper than predicted by the gravity survey. The gravity survey formed the basis of the basement modeling used in the recoverable resource and it is therefore expected that the results of DRC-17 will result in an increase in the resource size. Results from DRC-12R and DRC-17 can be found in Table 1.

Table 1 – Results from reverse circulation drill holes DRC-12R and DRC-17.

Drill Hole	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Li (mg/l)	K (mg/l)	B (mg/l)	Mg:Li	SO4:Li
D-RC-12R	60	90	30	548	5650	701	3.70	13.20
And	96	114	18	573	5933	670	3.50	13.70
zone open at depth
D-RC-17	48	156	108	640	6631	688	3.49	15.00
Fractured basement intersected @ 141.5m; due to drilling logistics samples in the interval 78-100.5 metres were not sampled and average values applied to the intersection based on the logged continuity of the aquifer.

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 five 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, in order to aid in quantifying the formational flow.

The Project is 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 reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this release. According to the Company's sampling protocol, sample size is to exceed 500 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.

Speaker of the New York State Assembly Sheldon Silver to Attend Unveiling on Friday, May 6

PARK RIDGE, NJ--(Marketwire - May 5, 2011) - As part of its Global Electric Vehicle (EV) expansion throughout New York City, Connect by Hertz, Hertz's (NYSE: HTZ) global car sharing club, the first car sharing club to introduce the 100% electric Nissan LEAF™ in Manhattan, is bringing the LEAF to Manhattan's Seward Park Co-op. To celebrate the introduction of the Nissan LEAF, a formal unveiling, attended by Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Sheldon Silver, will be held at Seward Park (413 Grand St in Manhattan) on Friday, May 6 at 12 noon.

"Hertz is leading the industry in building out an EV platform that brings electric vehicles and a network of charging stations to consumers," commented Robert Stuart, Senior Vice President, Global Sales for Hertz. "For the past year, Connect by Hertz car sharing has had a successful relationship with Seward Park and its residents and we're excited to be working with Seward Park in its efforts to make the Lower East Side of Manhattan the most 'plug in ready' neighborhood in the City."

The all-electric Nissan LEAF joins the Prius Hybrid and smart fortwo that are part of Seward Park's car sharing program. In an effort to make EVs a viable option for its residents, Seward Park has installed four Coulomb Technologies networked charging stations that are part of the ChargePoint® Network. The ChargePoint Network gives all EV drivers unique, easy-to-use services including: real-time status and location of unoccupied charging stations, tracking and reporting greenhouse gas and gasoline savings, and charging status notification, all by SMS, email or smart phone applications. ChargePoint also includes a billing system so that station owners can recoup the costs of electricity, maintenance and capital from drivers. Two of the stations are part of Coulomb's $37 million ChargePoint America program.

"I am proud to give my strong support to this incredibly worthy and exciting new project," New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said. "By opening this electric charging station and electric car rental hub, Seward Park Cooperative has put our Lower East Side community on the leading edge of our vitally important effort to make renewable and sustainable energy a viable option for New Yorkers. It is past time that we develop workable and clean alternatives to gasoline. In a city with high asthma rates and heavy pollution from car exhaust, encouraging people to use electric cars will not only let us breathe easier, it could literally save lives. I want to commend Seward Park Co-op for showing vision and leadership in taking the initiative to create this incredibly valuable project. I also want to thank Community Board 3, Hertz and everyone else who has made this milestone possible."

"We applaud Hertz and the Seward Park Co-op's efforts to bring sustainable mobility to Manhattan's Lower East Side," said Tracy Woodard, senior director, Government Affairs, Nissan North America. "Nissan LEAF is the world's first and only affordable, all-electric vehicle designed for the mass market and it is through collaboration like this that consumers will get to experience the benefits of zero-emission ownership."
"We are proud to extend the reach of the ChargePoint Network further into New York as more and more electric vehicles are delivered," said Richard Lowenthal founder and CTO at Coulomb. "With so many New York City residents living in apartments and co-ops, Seward is demonstrating their leadership by enabling their tenants to drive electric. We are thrilled to work with Hertz to enable many more people to drive these innovative vehicles."

The 2011 Nissan LEAF™, the world's first affordable, zero-emission car, is designed specifically for a lithium-ion battery-powered chassis. The Nissan LEAF is a medium-size hatchback that comfortably seats five adults and has a range of 100 miles on one full charge to satisfy real-world consumer requirements. Powered by 48 laminated compact lithium-ion battery modules and a high-response 80kW AC synchronous motor that generates 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, the LEAF provides a highly responsive, fun-to-drive experience.

"Con Edison is pleased to support the new charging stations for electric vehicles at the Seward Park Cooperative as part of the overall effort to introduce electric vehicles to New York City. We commend the Cooperative's leadership for taking this important step to make New York cleaner and greener by raising awareness and creating new opportunities for electric vehicles. Con Edison has launched a new website (www.conEd.com/electricvehicles) to help people learn more about electric vehicles, how to keep them charged properly and how to decide which type best serves their travelling needs," commented David Gmach, Director, New York City Public Affairs, Consolidated Edison Company of New York.

"I think it's a wonderful idea; very progressive," said Honey Federman, a Seward Park Co-op resident for 15 years. "The initiative could help lessen New Yorkers' dependence on oil."

Located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Seward Park Co-op is one of the largest free market co-ops in Manhattan with more than 1,700 apartments, approximately 50 commercial tenants, 13 acres of land and more than 4,000 residents. Celebrating its 50^th year, Seward Park has a strong commitment to the environment, working with Comverge and the Clean Energy Network NY, and is in the process of opening a green market on Hester Street.
