About the Blackstairs Project 

The Blackstairs Project, comprised of eight mineral exploration licences totalling 292 square kilometres, is located 80 kilometres south of Dublin straddling the Counties of Carlow and Wicklow in Leinster, south-east Ireland. The Blackstairs Project encompasses an extensive NE-SW oriented 50 kilometre long rare metals pegmatite belt situated within the East Carlow Deformation Zone along the eastern side of the Leinster Granite. Approximately 19 significant lithium pegmatite occurrences have been discovered within the Blackstairs Project to date primarily as boulder trails with five buried pegmatites known through past trenching and drilling.

Due to the prevalent overburden cover and scarcity of outcrop, prospecting for lithium pegmatite boulders was the most successful exploration method utilised to identify priority target areas. The Aclare House occurrence, situated in the center of the Blackstairs Project was initially discovered through this exploration approach.

A pre-National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Minera Projectsl("NI 43-101") historical resource of 570,000 tonnes grading 1.5% Li2O was reported at Aclare House. (A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources, the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.)

Other drilling highlights include 1.85% Li2O over 5.3 metres at Stranakelly and 1.66% Li2O over 9.4 metres at Moylisha.

The observed lithium bearing pegmatites and extensive boulder occurrences within the Blackstairs Project represent a highly prospective and underexplored region. In addition, the recent discovery of a high concentration of pegmatite boulders reporting grades exceeding 4% Li2O at Moylisha only serve to highlight the exploration potential of the Blackstairs Project.

John Harrop, P.Geo, is the Company's Qualified Person on the Blackstairs Project as required under NI 43-101 and has reviewed the technical information contained in this press release.

About International Lithium Corp.

International Lithium Corp. is an exploration company with a focused portfolio of projects. A strong management team with personal ownership in the company compliments robust financial support from key stakeholders. A leading China based lithium product manufacturer, Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., is a strategic partner and keystone investor in ILC. The Company currently has several active rare metals projects, including lithium-potash brines in Argentina, and hard-rock pegmatites in Canada and Ireland.

The Company's primary focus is the Mariana lithium-potash brine project. Mariana is located in the renowned South American 'Lithium Belt' centred on the junction of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile that is host to the vast majority of global lithium resources, reserves and production. Mariana consists of a salar or 'salt lake' covering 160 square kilometres. The project strategically encompasses the entire mineral rich basin. The Mariana lithium-potash brine project ranks as one of the more prospective salars in the region.

Complementing the Company's lithium brine projects are rare metals pegmatite properties in Canada and Ireland. Despite the excellent accessibility of these hard-rock rare metals projects, there is limited past exploration and geochemical sampling for rare metals. There is a clear potential for exploration success and added value here as the Company strives to source rare metals to help meet the increasing demand through the growth in global technologies that utilize the rare metals suite of elements.

ILC'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 of Directors,

Kirill Klip

Bigger flakes, higher prices — Paul Gill talks about Lomiko’s Quebec graphite projects

By Kevin Michael Grace

“We feel that we’re among the top six or seven graphite companies that will be able to add value through exploration”—Paul Gill

Lomiko Metals Inc (V.LMR) announced September 20 that has completed its summer drill program on its Quatre Milles East Flake Graphite Property in Quebec. Twenty-three holes totaling 1,600 metres were drilled, and the presence of large-flake graphite was identified in multiple holes.

The drilling replicated previous exploration on the property by Graphicor Resources Inc in 1992. Although Lomiko holds the data derived from these historic drill results, the drillcores are not available to compile a NI 43-101 resource estimate.

Quatre Milles East consists of 1,600 hectares located 175 kilometres northwest of Montreal. In May, Lomiko optioned the Quatre Milles West Property, 2,180 hectares adjacent to Quatre Milles East. In addition to these graphite properties, Lomiko owns the Vines Lake gold property in the Liard Mining District of northwest British Columbia and the Salar de Aguas Caliente Lithium Brine Property in Chile.

Lomiko President/CEO Paul Gill spoke to Kevin Michael Grace September 18.

RW: What pleases you most about your drill campaign?

PG: We were able to drill into an area which has previously been drilled and has grades and intercepts similar to a proven mine in the area [Timcal Canada’s Lac-des-Îles Mine]. The intercepts are near surface and amenable to an open pit, and the location is amenable to a mining operation.

RW: When will your drill results be released?

PG: We anticipate results in the middle of October.

RW: What’s your next step after that?

PG: We need to finance Phase 2 and confirm that it’s the correct step to take because it’s contingent upon results. Phase 2 will be another 50 holes. These will bring definition to the target area and probably come up with a resource. Usually, juniors have a discovery phase. We didn’t have to go through that. Next is the resource stage, and I think that’s when the next value jump happens. Well, there is going to be one now when people recognize that we will be confirming some of the historic results on Quatre Milles.

RW: You said in May that you were looking toward developing a resource estimate by December.

PG: We’d like to stay on that course. But we’d have to get funding and do another round of drilling in November for that to happen. If there will be a significant move in the market, we could have warrants exercised or we would put financing together. We would then have approximately a $1 million to $1.5 million.

RW: How much cash do you have now?

PG: About $550,000.

RW: What is your current burn rate?

PG: There is $307,000 that’s going towards the Quatre Milles Phase 1 and another $100,000 for Vines Lake. Those are all-in expenses. Our only other expenditures are administrative, and that’s about $20,000 a month.

RW: What’s the significance of finding large-flake graphite at Quatre Milles?

PG: Something that’s been confirmed with Northern Graphite (V.NGC) is that the flake size is more desirable if it’s larger simply because you can make different elements with it. Electric-vehicle manufacturers are looking for a spherical-granular structure for the graphite they use in their batteries. The greater the size of the flake, the higher the price.

The next biggest issue is recovery. The type of host rock that’s here, part of the reason we took it is because the metallurgist, Michel Robert, actually staked this land. The type of marble in this area allows for the graphite flakes to pop out easily, and the recovery rate is quite high, so your strip ratio goes down.

RW: Assuming you have the resource, how would you compare the difficulty and expense of bringing a graphite project to production compared to a gold, silver or copper mine?

PG: There is an issue around the expertise in this field. You have to have specific expertise mining this particular product. For gold, silver or copper projects, it’s a very straightforward situation, and there are many geologists and mining engineers familiar with the situation. What’s key to graphite is you need a mining engineer and metallurgist and a geologist and chemist that will be on site and can advice how to make the project the best possible project. And in regards to actually introducing the project to the financiers that’s another challenge because the end users of the product are relying on and have relationships with about a maximum of 20 different companies that market different variations of graphite. We’ve had contact with several different groups among those 20. So we’re encouraged by that, and we’re in the right location with the right product.

RW: About six months ago, there was a tremendous amount of excitement about graphite stocks. Prices increased tremendously, and then was a big falloff. Why did this happen?

PG: I think the falloff followed the price of graphite itself. The price of graphite peaked in the spring of 2012 and so did graphite stocks. Every market has to correct. You’ve seen graphite move up from $500 a tonne to $2,000 per tonne, and it’s settling in now at this level. I think the next big increase will be when the applications and products now being patented get to the development stage.

It’s actually a healthy correction and a fortuitous one for those of us that already received financing because we’re way ahead of the game. There are many projects that were announced but didn’t receive financing and couldn’t proceed. We feel that we’re among the top six or seven graphite companies that will be able to add value through exploration

TESLA MOTORS LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY SUPERCHARGER ENABLING CONVENIENT LONG DISTANCE DRIVING

DRIVE THE MODEL S ELECTRIC CAR ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY ON PURE SUNLIGHT FOR FREE

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2012

Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) today unveiled its highly anticipated Supercharger network. Constructed in secret, Tesla revealed the locations of the first six Supercharger stations, which will allow the Model S to travel long distances with ultra fast charging throughout California, parts of Nevada and Arizona.

The technology at the heart of the Supercharger was developed internally and leverages the economies of scale of existing charging technology already used by the Model S, enabling Tesla to create the Supercharger device at minimal cost. The electricity used by the Supercharger comes from a solar carport system provided bySolarCity, which results in almost zero marginal energy cost after installation. Combining these two factors, Tesla is able to provide Model S owners1 free long distance travel indefinitely.

Each solar power system is designed to generate more energy from the sun over the course of a year than is consumed by Tesla vehicles using the Supercharger. This results in a slight net positive transfer of sunlight generated power back to the electricity grid. In addition to lowering the cost of electricity, this addresses a commonly held misunderstanding that charging an electric car simply pushes carbon emissions to the power plant. The Supercharger system will always generate more power from sunlight than Model S customers use for driving. By adding even a small solar system at their home, electric car owners can extend this same principle to local city driving too.

The six California locations unveiled today are just the beginning. By next year, we plan to install Superchargers in high traffic corridors across the continental United States, enabling fast, purely electric travel from Vancouver to San Diego, Miami to Montreal and Los Angeles to New York. Tesla will also begin installing Superchargers in Europe and Asia in the second half of 2013.

The Supercharger is substantially more powerful than any charging technology to date, providing almost 100 kilowatts of power to the Model S, with the potential to go as high as 120 kilowatts in the future. This can replenish three hours of driving at 60 mph in about half an hour, which is the convenience inflection point for travelers at a highway rest stop. Most people who begin a road trip at 9am would normally stop by noon to have lunch, refresh and pick up a coffee or soda for the road, all of which takes about 30 minutes.

“Tesla’s Supercharger network is a game changer for electric vehicles, providing long distance travel that has a level of convenience equivalent to gasoline cars for all practical purposes. However, by making electric long distance travel at no cost, an impossibility for gasoline cars, Tesla is demonstrating just how fundamentally better electric transport can be,” said Elon Musk, Tesla Motors co-founder and CEO. “We are giving Model S the ability to drive almost anywhere for free on pure sunlight.”

1. Supercharging hardware is standard on Model S vehicles equipped with an 85 kWh battery and optional on Model S vehicles equipped with a 60 kWh battery.

ABOUT MODEL S

With the most energy-dense battery pack in the industry and best-in-class aerodynamics, Model S has the longest range of any production electric car in the world. Model S comes with three battery options to fit the unique needs of different drivers. The 85 kWh Model S has received a U.S. fuel economy rating of 89MPGe and an EPA rated range of 265 miles.

Model S is the first premium sedan designed from the ground up to take full advantage of electric vehicle architecture. A revolutionary powertrain sits under the floorboard of Model S, creating an ultra-low center of gravity.
