Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 3, 2020) - Lithium Chile Inc. (TSXV: LITH) (OTC Pink: LTMCF) ("Lithium Chile" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received assay results from the first batch of samples taken from its 100% owned Carmona gold silver property.

There were a number of high-grade intercepts identified from this initial sampling program. The highlights are as follows:

• Gold and silver values from rock samples range from 0.5 to 26.2 g/t gold and 2.1 to 256 g/t silver;
• Highest grade sample of 26.2 g/t gold is from newly discovered zone within the northern half of a 13 km2 central area;
• Phase 1 samples are from the central core alteration zone which lies along a structural axis through the central portion of the property;
• Anomalous samples cluster into three main areas from six to 13 km2 and totaling 26 km2;
• The southernmost area includes several old mine workings and rock samples from some of these workings ranged from 12.4 to 18.3 g/t gold and 95.4 to 231 g/t silver over widths of 1.5 to 2.0 meters

The Company expects to receive assays from an additional batch of rock samples by mid month. The exploration team returned to the property on August 28 to start the phase 2 detailed follow up sampling and trenching program on an expedited basis.
