ABOUT INTERNATIONAL LITHIUM CORP

International Lithium Corp. is an international rare element metals ("REM") mineral exploration company with an outstanding portfolio of projects, strong management ownership, robust financial support and a prominent lithium product manufacturer as a keystone investor.

ILC currently has 9 active REM projects, well balanced between lithium brines in Argentina and Nevada and hard-rock pegmatites in Canada and Ireland. The Company's primary focus is the Mariana lithium brine project, a salar or 'salt lake', covering an expansive 160 km2 and strategically encompassing the entire basin. Mariana is located in the renowned South American 'Lithium Belt' centred around the junction of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile that is host to the vast majority of global lithium resources, reserves and production. The Mariana lithium brine project ranks as one of the more prospective salars in the region.

Complementing the Company's lithium brine projects are the REM pegmatite properties. The key outstanding characteristics shared by these hard-rock REM projects are their underexplored nature, excellent accessibility, under-analyzed rare metals' history, significant potential that additional exploration will add project value and ultimate potential ability to develop the projects to meet the global technological growth in demand for the REM suite of elements.

International Lithium Corp.'s mandate is to increase shareholder value through aggressive advancement of its core projects and to source joint venture partners to expand the scope and diversify risk of its exploration effort.

On behalf of the Board,

Mike Sieb
