Liberty One Lithium Provides Update on Accelerated Brine Resource Study in Argentina and Related Corporate Events

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - Sep 19, 2017) - Liberty One Lithium Corp. ("Liberty" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: LBY) (OTCQB: LRTTF) (FRANKFURT: L1T), is pleased to advise that Brad Nichol, CEO of Liberty One recently returned from an extensive visit to the Company's Pocitos West Property in Argentina and reports on current and future planning efforts.

As a direct result of its recently announced geophysical survey findings (see August 17, 2017 press release) the Company has submitted the requisite environmental and drilling applications in order to accelerate a study of the prospective thick, contiguous probable brine horizon suggested by geophysics throughout the entire 29km length of its mining property. Given the regional nature of lithium brine assets in the immediate area, the Company believes the potential for brine to exist beneath the majority of the 39,000-acre property license is highly probable. 

In order to further evaluate the property, the Company and its operators have developed an operational plan in anticipation of imminently receiving the permit to drill up to 11 test holes. At this time, the Company expects to commence drilling operations in Q4 2017.

Anticipated results include determination of the geology, lithology and refinement of the existing geophysical interpretation. This includes brine sampling in order to better understand the chemistry, including lithium and potassium, amongst others. In addition, the proposed program will likely include a production-scale pumping test along with core sampling to determine N.I. 43-101 regulatory compliant porosity and permeability, which will be used in future resource determinations.

Upon concluding his visit to the property, Company CEO, Brad Nichol noted, "I am extremely pleased with the progress and results the Company has achieved to-date." Nichol continues, "The last 30 days have reinforced my decision to make a significant investment in Liberty One and join the Company. I am confident we have the necessary components in place to build a large, successful lithium production company. We have the world's preeminent go-to lithium team based in Argentina, led by a former 29-year Rio Tinto lithium expert and supported by local mining industry veterans including chemists, geologists, engineers, laboratory personnel, operators as well as one of the region's foremost mining legal firms with extensive lithium brine experience."
