Southern Lithium Announces Non-Brokered $1 Million Private Placement


VANCOUVER, Canada - - Southern Lithium Corp.  (TSX-V: SNL) (FSE: SL5) ("Southern" or "the Company") is pleased to announce a Non-Brokered Private Placement (the "Private Placement")  to raise gross proceeds of up to CDN$1.0 Million.

The company will issues 4,000,000 units (each "Unit") at a purchase price of $0.25 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000. Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share ("Common Share") of the Company and one (1) non-transferable share purchase warrant ("Warrant").

Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one (1) Common Share at an exercise price of $0.35 for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the Private Placement. In the event that the Company's common shares trade at a closing price greater than $0.50 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time after the closing date, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and in such case the Warrants will expire on the 30th day after the date hereafter referred to as the ("Forced Conversion Feature") on which such notice is given by the Company.

The private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. There will be a hold period of four months and one day on all securities issued under this financing.

About the Cruz Property
Through its joint venture partner Millennial Lithium Corp. (TSX-V: ML) (OTCQB: MLNLF), the Company has executed a formal option agreement with Proyecto Pastos Grandes S.A. (“PPG SA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Millennial, to be granted an option to acquire an eighty percent (80%) interest in the PPG SA’s Cruz Property in the Pocitos Salar Basin in Salta Province, Argentina.

The Cruz Property is located in the heart of South America’s Lithium Triangle (northern Chile, northwestern Argentina and southwest Bolivia). The property encompasses 2,500 hectares in the Pocitos salar basin in Salta Province, Argentina, and lies 11 kilometers south of ADY Resources Limited’s lithium brine resource in the Salar del Rincón Basin.

The Cruz property is adjacent to the Rincon volcanic center that defines the southern limit of the Rincon salar basin, where ADY Resources Limited is extracting lithium brine, and the northern limit of the Pocitos salar basin, where the Cruz property is located. Both properties lie along the structural belt that hosts the important lithium resources of the region, and at the junction of a large north-south fault system and the northwest-southeast megastructure along which lies the Rincon volcano, the possible source of the lithium brine in both salar basins.

The 60-kilometer long Pocitos salar basin has previously only been drill tested with a shallow 12-hole program in the 1970s, by an Argentinean government agency “Direccion General de Fabricaciones Militares”. To date, this is the only confirmed exploration drilling conducted in the Pocitos basin. The hole that produced the best results is near the southeast edge of the Cruz property boundary, and averaged 417 parts per million; note that these results are considered historical and cannot be confirmed under NI 43-101 standards.

Drilling Progress At Pastos Grandes

November 22, 2016 05:00 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Nov. 22, 2016) - Millennial Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ML)(OTCQB:MLNLF) ("Millennial" or the "Company") reports on progress with the Phase I lithium brine drilling program at its Pastos Grandes Project in Salta, Argentina. The first drill hole of the current drilling program was successfully completed on time and within the cost target. The size of the brine aquifer and the composition of the sediments exceed expectations and the density of the brine recovered was favorable. Accordingly, pumping test well drilling has already begun.
The first drill hole, PGMW-16-01 was completed to a depth of 192 metres having encountered three brine aquifers over a total 94.5 meters (m), from surface to 13m, 19.5m to 66m, and 157m to the bottom of the hole. Originally planned to test depth to 350 metres, the hole was terminated in favor of completing a larger bore rotary hole that will more effectively penetrate the loose sediments of the lower aquifer. Results to date in terms of permissive aquifers and brine density are encouraging enough to proceed with the adjacent production-scale pumping test well. A second, larger drill has been mobilized to the site and has begun drilling PGPW-16-02 in readiness for a 24-hour pumping test.
VP of Development and Exploration, Iain Scarr states, "We are very encouraged with the drilling to date. In addition to identifiable brine saturated aquifers in the recent shallow sediments, the older deeper and coarser sediments include what appears to be either a brine-saturated unconsolidated sand or a major structure with free-flowing brine. Subsequent drill sites and in-fill drilling will be used to determine the extent of these encouraging conditions aerially and at depth."
Brine samples were collected down hole using a drive-point and we will employ a packer system targeting specific horizons as the hole is being completed as a monitoring well. Initial field testing of brine recovered from the aquifers at a density of 1.22g/cm3 is very promising. Brine from the packer testing and pumping tests will be used for field trials to validate the calculations for precipitation sequencing and lithium recovery, which will be used for pond sizing and conceptual design.
Sampling is being conducted in accordance with CIM guidelines for brine resource evaluation, with an appropriate QAQC program for ensuring accuracy and repeatability of the analytical results. Results will be reported promptly as laboratory analytical results are validated.
Proyecto Pastos Grandes, S.A., Millennial's Argentina subsidiary has engaged Alex Stewart Laboratories of Mendoza, Argentina as the primary analytical provider. The laboratory has extensive experience with lithium brine analyses and is certified under ISO 17025, and in Alex Stewart's case, specifically for determination of lithium and potassium in liquid brines by use of ICP-OES.

Millennial Signs Letter of Intent to Option its Cruz Property to Southern Lithium Corp.

November 03, 2016 

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Nov. 3, 2016) - Millennial Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ML) ("Millennial" or the "Company") reports that its wholly owned Argentine subsidiary, Proyecto Pastos Grandes S.A. ("PPG SA") has entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") with Southern Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SNL) ("Southern") whereby, upon execution of a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") Southern will be granted the option to acquire up to an eighty (80%) percent interest in and to the Company's Cruz Property in the Pocitos salar basin in Salta Province, Argentina.

Terms of the LOI:
The LOI, dated effective October 31, 2016, calls for PPG SA and Southern to enter into a Definitive Agreement on or before November 10, 2016.

To earn a seventy (70%) interest in the Cruz Property, Southern must:

a.    pay a US$150,000 non-refundable deposit to PPG SA (which has been paid);
b.    pay an additional US$50,000 non-refundable deposit to PPG SA on execution of the Definitive Agreement;
c.    on closing of the Definitive Agreement, issue to PPG SA or Millennial (at Millennial's option) US$100,000 worth of common shares (the "Southern Shares") of Southern with the Southern Shares being valued at the same price per share as a private placement (the "Private Placement") Southern is expected to announce concurrently or shortly after the announcement of the LOI;
d.    on closing of the first tranche of the Private Placement or November 30, 2016 (whichever is earlier) place in a joint exploration account the sum of US$500,000 (the "Exploration Funds");
e.    make US$500,000 of exploration expenditures (the "Exploration Expenditures") on or before October 1, 2017;
f.     pay to PPG SA the sum of US$1,000,000 on or before October 1, 2017; and
g.    pay to PPG SA the sum of US$1,000,000 on or before October 1, 2018.

((a) to (g) being, collectively, the "Option Exercise Price").

The LOI calls for the Definitive Agreement to contain the following terms:
a.    that PPG SA is expected to act as operator on the Property until the Exploration Expenditures are made upon which time Southern may assume operating responsibility;
b.    that Southern can earn an additional ten (10%) of the Cruz Property by completing, on or before the date that is three years and six months from the date of the Definitive Agreement, a bankable commercial feasibility study of the Cruz Property; and
c.    additional terms and conditions customary to an option agreement in the resource industry including terms governing the planning of Exploration Expenditures.

The Cruz Property was acquired by PPG SA under the terms of an option agreement (the "Underlying Option Agreement ") dated effective October 11, 2016 although fully executed after that date. The Underlying Option Agreement is, for Millennial, an exempt transaction not subject to Exchange review under the Exchange's Policy 5.3. The Underlying Option Agreement provides that the Company can acquire up to a one-hundred (100%) interest in the Cruz Property from the vendor. The Company intends to use funds from the Option Exercise Price to fund its exercise of the option under the Underlying Option Agreement.

About the Cruz Property:

The 2,500 hectare Cruz Property lies at the north end of the Pocitos salar basin in Salta Province, Argentina. The Cruz Property is at the junction of a large north-south fault system and the northwest-southeast "megastructure" along which lies the Rincon volcano, the possible source of the Rincon salar lithium brine occurrences in the Rincon salar basin immediately north of the Pocitos salar basin.

The 60 kilometre long Pocitos salar basin has been the subject of surface sampling by several groups in the past. In the 1970's a government agency made a single shallow drill hole in the Pocitos salar basin. To the Company's knowledge, that drilling is the only exploration drilling to date and the results of that drilling cannot be confirmed under NI 43-101 standards for exploration applicable today. A review by the Company of recent samplings in the Pocitos salar basin tend to show higher lithium concentration along the deep faults in the basin, leading to the possibility, which would have to be confirmed with further exploration, that the faults could be conduits for lithium-bearing fluids emitted by the northern volcanic center.

The LOI is conditional upon its approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

This news release has been reviewed by Iain Scarr, VP of Development and Exploration of the Company and a qualified person as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101.

Millennial Lithium Reports Exploration Results from Lincoln Property and Common Shares Commence Trading on OTCQB

October 12, 2016 

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Oct. 12, 2016) - Millennial Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ML), ("Millennial" or the "Company") reports it has completed an initial phase of exploration on the Company's Lincoln Lithium Property in Nevada (the "Lincoln Property"). The Lincoln Property covers an area of 3200 acres of placer claims in the Big Smoky Valley, Nevada.
The program consisted of drilling 12 shallow auger holes spaced along one line across the salar. Sediment and water samples from each hole were collected and sent to Western Environmental Testing Laboratory in Sparks, Nev., which is a U.S. EPA-accredited (Environmental Protection Agency) independent laboratory. The samples were analyzed for lithium, potassium, boron and magnesium using standard methods for the examination of water and waste water, on-line edition, methods for determination of organic compounds in drinking water, EPA-600/4-79-020, and test methods for evaluation of solid waste, physical/chemical methods (SW846), third edition. The laboratory used its own quality control and quality assurance protocols for sample analysis. Results are as follows:

In addition to these early findings, management has reviewed assay results from recent drilling activity by others on adjoining ground which report magnesium to lithium ratios far exceeding acceptable concentrations. As a result of the Lincoln Property's low surface lithium concentrations and the neighbouring magnesium-lithium geochemistry, Millennial has decided to cease any further exploration on the Lincoln Property and will not be paying any further property payments or rents due to maintain the property. Millennial will focus its exploration efforts on its Pastos Grandes and Cauchari East lithium assets in Argentina.
Millennial's shares are now listed for trading on the OTCQB markets in the United States under the symbol MLNLF. The Company's shares will also continue to trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company believes that greater visibility will be created with multiple listings/quotations platforms and will allow for a much larger potential shareholder base. Investors can find real-time quotes and market information on the OTC Markets website.
Trading on the OTC markets does not involve the issuance of new common shares of the Company or any other securities. The common shares of the Company that are currently issued and outstanding, and trading on the TSX-V and Frankfurt Stock Exchange, may now also be traded through the OTC markets.
Millennial has granted an aggregate of 1,550,000 stock options (the "Options") to certain officers, directors, consultants and employees of the Company. The Options have a term of 5 years and are exercisable at a price of $1.65 per common share. The Options are subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
