LithiumOre Partner Highlights that Railroad Valley Lithium Project is Located at Center of ''Super Brine Complex'' in Nevada

3PL CEO Vince Ramirez maintains LithiumOre's Railroad Valley Lithium Project is located at the center of''one of the largest brine deposits in the world.'' Ramirez posits there are ''30 billion barrels of brine within the Railroad Valley brine pool.''

3PL is a privately held mining development firm engaged in the exploration and development of lithium brine deposits within the Western Nevada Basin.

LithiumOre's CEO Doug Cole said, ''3PL's management team has an aggregate of over 70 years global oil and gas exploration, development and production experience. Vince is also a geologist and has been researching the Railroad Valley brine pool and reviewing well log data for over five years. We are confident in his initial assessment of our brine and are excited to begin drilling soon.'' Given his initial analysis of the lithium content in the brine, we believe that there is at least one million tons of lithium in our acerage.We are at the widest and deepest part of the brine pool.

3PL owns 1836 claims, covering an area of 57 square miles (146 km2). 3PL has mapped a large sub-surface brine pool (~ 300 m thick and ~ 300 m deep), which underlies the Railroad Valley Playa. Over 90 oil and gas well geophysical logs were used to define a large and significant electrical conductivity anomaly, which is interpreted to be a concentrated brine deposit. Recently discovered saltwater leakage from a water well on the 3PL ground indicates that the brine pool exists, and that lithium is a component of the brine.

3PL's team has a proven track record of successfully exploring for oil and gas. 3PL's aim in the Railroad Valley is to delineate a drilled-out brine resource capable of producing 30 billion barrels of brine.

Railroad Valley Lithium Project

Railroad Valley is a large topographically closed playa basin (dry salt lake bed). The basin is fault-bounded with numerous active thermal springs (anomalous in lithium) emerging along the faults. The fault sets have strike lengths of 25-30 miles (42-50 km) and are parallel to each other, about 8-12 miles apart (13-19 km). The faults that bound the basin form an elongate rectangular shaped basin of about 300 square miles (777 km2) in size.

Numerous thermal springs emerge along the basin bounding fault systems, which form the North-West and South-East flanks of the playa basin. Thermal waters which discharge from the springs carry moderately anomalous values of Lithium.

The mountains that surround the basin contain outcropping rock units also anomalous in lithium. This closely matches the geologic criteria for the United State Geological Survey (''USGS'') ore deposit model for Clayton Valley type lithium brine deposits.

Made in America, LithiumOre holds 1,300 accepted lithium mineral claims, totaling 26,000 acres, located in Railroad Valley of Nye County, Nevada. Railroad Valley is approximately 112 miles northeast of Clayton Valley and can be accessed by paved highway directly from U.S. Route 6. Railroad Valley is one of Nevada's largest trapped basins and is noted to hold all the necessary commercial and engineering prerequisites for a massive lithium brine deposit. The Company's claims have been evaluated by experts and the BLM and are in planned on-site exploration.
