Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2016) -
International Lithium Corp. (TSXV: ILC) (the 'Company' or 'ILC') is pleased
to announce that the Company has completed the drill programme announced on
11 April 2016 at the Avalonia Lithium Project located in Counties Carlow
and Wicklow, Republic of Ireland.

Highlights of the drilling include the discovery of a new pegmatite body in
the Aclare area. Three drill holes intersected the previously unknown
pegmatite phase 450 metres east of the main Aclare pegmatites. This new
pegmatite is hosted in a granite sill parallel and adjacent to the granite
sill hosting the main Aclare pegmatites where drill hole ACL13-04
intersected 2.23% Li2O over a drill width of 23.3 metres, including 3.43%
Li2O over 6 metres (Company news release dated June 25, 2013). All widths
reported are drill widths and have not been converted into true widths. The
discovery proves the lateral extent of the lithium pegmatite occurrences is
greater than previously known, consequently opening more ground for
potential discoveries.

Spodumene bearing pegmatite boulders were discovered in field walls between
the new pegmatite and the Aclare mineralization. These boulders contain
spodumene crystals that are greater than 40 centimetres in length and some
of the largest identified on the property to date.

About the Drill Program

A total of 23 diamond drill holes comprising 1,756 metres of NQ sized core
were completed in the central part of the Avalonia Project's lithium belt
and entirely within County Carlow. Of these, 10 holes focussed on further
delineating pegmatites in the Aclare area. Down-dip extension and infill
drilling was used to delineate the distribution of lithium and rare metals
in the system and identify thickening vectors of the pegmatite body.

Four of the delineation drill holes tested a geophysical feature
interpreted to be the granite-schist contact to the immediate northeast of
the Aclare pegmatites. In the Aclare area, proximity to the hanging wall
contact of granite sills is considered highly prospective for hosting
lithium-bearing pegmatites. These four holes demonstrate that magnetic
