Lithium vs Big Oil? “If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for" Albert Einstein. Vancouver B.C. December 4, 2012: International Lithium Corp. ("ILC" or the "Company") (ILC: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that following the approval of the loan and financing arranged with strategic partner Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. ("Ganfeng"), previously announced in ILC's news release dated December 3, 2012 the Company initiated exploration on their wholly owned Blackstairs Lithium project in Ireland. Work underway by Aurum Exploration Services, an Irish geological consultancy, has focussed on reviewing historical deep overburden sampling and preparing targeting for drilling at two prospects. Preliminary results of this review confirm trends and zonation in lithium, caesium, tantalum and other rare metals that reinforce the Company's belief there are additional prospects and extensions to known prospects throughout the belt. Orientation surveys of previously drilled lithium and rare metal occurrences and regional reconnaissance surveys are planned for the first quarter 2013 as part of the "due diligence" stage of Ganfeng's increasing partnership in this project in which it can earn up to a 100% (NR dated Oct 2, 2012). Diamond drilling is planned for early 2013.
