Canada Lithium Corp.
TORONTO, Aug. 25, 2011 /CNW/ --
TORONTO, Aug. 25, 2011 /CNW/ - Canada Lithium Corp. (TSX: CLQ) (OTCQX:
CLQMF) announced today preliminary results from the first 19 holes of a
recently completed 56-hole drill program. Highlights from the program
include 15.6 metres grading 1.21% Li(2)O, 25.2 metres grading 0.94%, 11.7 metres at 1.47%, 12.3 metres at 1.49%
and 3.2 metres at 1.74% Li(2)O. The program included both step-out and in-fill drilling at the
Company's Québec Lithium Project near Val d'Or, Québec.
'We are very encouraged by these preliminary values in terms of both
grades and widths. The recent drilling continues to demonstrate the
continuity of the Québec Lithium deposit,' said CEO and President Peter
Secker.
Mr. Secker also noted that detailed engineering design work for the mine
and process plant is proceeding on schedule, and is about 80%
completed. Additional long-lead-time items have been ordered and the
current delivery and construction schedule indicates plant
commissioning as planned in late 2012.
The project has received additional provincial government approvals for
the location of the waste dump and the mill site, and the overall
environmental approval process is proceeding as planned.
The 56-hole exploration drilling program was completed in July and
assaying of the remaining drill hole samples is currently under way at
the assay labs of ALS Canada Ltd. of Vancouver. To view a site map

Once all of the assays and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
work are completed a new mineral resource model will be undertaken by
AMC Mining Consultants. It is anticipated that this updated mineral
resource model will be available in late October. The target of the
program is to increase the resource and to lower the strip ratio in the
open pit.
The preliminary assay results for the initial 19 holes are as follows:
