30.09.2014  |  Marketwired

RENO, NEVADA--(Marketwired - Sep 30, 2014) - Western Lithium USA Corp. ("Western Lithium", the "Company") (TSX:WLC)(OTCQX:WLCDF) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary Hectatone Inc. has signed a distribution agreement with Raw Materials Corporation ("RMC") of Houston, Texas to sell the Company's Hectatone™ products in five US states.

For over 20 years until August 2014, RMC had been the exclusive US distributor of organophilic clays, including hectorite clay-based products, for the current preeminent supplier to the oilfield industry. Going forward, RMC will have the exclusive right to sell certain organophilic bentonite, hectorite and other clay-based Hectatone™ products in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico. Hectatone™ has reserved the right to sell directly to a number of specific other oilfield service and supply companies that it is currently in purchasing discussions with.

Scott Brownhill, CEO of RMC stated that "we are pleased to establish a long term sales partnership with Hectatone Inc. We believe that the new line of Hectatone™ products has a strong future in the oilfield sector, and we are ready to play a role in Hectatone's growth."

Frank B. Wright Jr., President of Hectatone Inc. stated that "we recognize that working with an established distributor such as RMC is an important first step to complement our sales discussions with other oil service and supply companies. With the imminent startup of production at our Fernley, Nevada manufacturing facility, we are beginning to coordinate production campaigns with anticipated sales."

The Company is on schedule for the manufacturing facility in Fernley, Nevada, to be fully operational to manufacture Hectatone™ products in November, 2014.

Raw Materials Corporation was founded in 1985 as a distributor initially serving the coatings and ink industries. Since inception, RMC has expanded its distribution to include the adhesives, construction, grease and lubricants, oilfield, personal care and plastics industries. RMC now represents more than 25 high-quality industrial and specialty chemicals suppliers.
