International Lithium and Ganfeng Lithium To Begin Work at Avalonia and Mariana

International Lithium Corp. (TSXV:ILC) and Ganfeng Lithium have approved budgets to continue work on the Avalonia lithium project in Ireland and the Mariana project in Argentina. Avalonia is a lithium pegmatite project, while Mariana is a lithium brine project.

As quoted in the press release:

The Company has recently completed detailed preparations in conjunction with strategic partner, Ganfeng Lithium, including having a crew visit Argentina and participate in the installation of weather data collection equipment. The effort has resulted in the approval to collect a bulk sample of the Mariana brine for analysis by Ganfeng Lithium at their research facilities in China. In addition, the work will involve a maiden drilling and pump test campaign to characterize and quantify the resource potential and specific yield of the salar.

International Lithium Corp. president, Kirill Klip, said:

We are very excited with the ability to continue to advance our projects to the next level through our partnership with Ganfeng Lithium. Recent announcements, by General Motors regarding the commencement of production of the battery-electric Bolt and Tesla with the ongoing construction of the Gigafactory and launch of the Model X, are strong indicators that the electric car is not only here to stay, but is the way of the future. As a result lithium will be a key ingredient in our daily lives and ILC will be ready to meet the demand for this raw and critical material.
