Lithium Corp.: Results From Trenching at BC Sugar

Elko, Nevada (FSCwire) - Lithium Corporation [OTCQB – LTUM] “the Company” is pleased to announce that it has recently received all analytical results from it’s Fall 2015 trenching program at the Weather Station showing on the Company’s BC Sugar Flake Graphite prospect in British Columbia.

Previous sampling in the area of the Weather Station showing indicated that coarse flake graphite mineralization exists here over a considerable stratigraphic width, but the sporadic nature of outcrop made it difficult to get a handle on exactly how well mineralized the zone truly was.  The Fall 2015 trenching program determined that the zone of graphite mineralization is quite consistent, and extends further than anticipated.

The trenching was commenced in a friable biotite quartz graphitic gneiss, and extended for 85 meters along an old trail, terminating in similar material.  To date only the loose material from the trench has been assayed, as it is most representative of the type of material which conceivably could be most easily excavated and processed in the future.  In all 23 samples were taken over the 69 m’s of exposed mineralization that could be safely sampled.  Trench depths varied from 1.2 meters in areas of semi consolidated rock to 4.8 meters in areas of mainly decomposed material.  There was an approximately 12 meter section of the trench of sand, and fluvial till in a stream bed where the excavator could not reach the graphitic material that is inferred to exist at depths greater than 5 meters.  Also there was a 4 meter section at depths from 4.8 to 5 meters where graphite mineralization could be seen at depth, but it could not be sampled due to safety reasons.

Sampling encountered 69 meters that averaged 1.997% graphitic carbon that remains open to the north, and to the south.  Within that interval there was a 30 meter section that averaged 2.73% graphitic carbon, and within that interval there was a 12 meter section that averaged 2.99% graphitic carbon.  The best mineralization, and most friable material is proximal to a creek bed, and it appears that proximity to this feature gave rise to the deep weathering profile encountered here.

Lithium Corp. is currently studying the results, and determining what steps to take to move this property along.
