· Mavis Lake pegmatites exhibit high-grade well-evolved lithium and tantalum zonation in conjunction with significant levels of cesium and rubidium at surface;

· A historical (non NI 43-101 compliant*) resource of 500,000 tons at 1.0% Li2O was delineated on 1 out of 10 known pegmatite bodies at Fairservice;

· Primary objectives are to confirm the historic lithium grades on the Fairservice property and test the rare metal potential of the Mavis Lake pegmatites; and

· International Lithium Corp. launches new website.
