TSX Venture Exchange: "LITH"   

CALGARY, April 30, 2018 /CNW/ - Lithium Chile Inc. ("Lithium Chile" or the "Company") and Kairos Metals Corp. ("Kairos Metals") are pleased to announce that Lithium Chile's shareholders have voted unanimously in favour of a plan of arrangement (the "Plan") whereby the Company's copper/gold/silver properties will be transferred to a new company whose shares will be dividended out to the existing shareholders of Lithium Chile.  With shareholder approval in place, Lithium Chile will now seek final court approval on May 7, 2018.

All holders of Lithium Chile shares on the dividend record date – expected to be two to three business days after the final court order date – will be entitled to the dividend of Kairos Metals shares.

Steve Cochrane, President and CEO of Lithium Chile, commented: "I am extremely pleased with the overwhelming shareholder support for making Lithium Chile a pure play lithium company and enabling Kairos Metals to expedite exploration efforts on the copper/gold/silver properties. This approach will allow for the rapid advancement of both project portfolios and maximise the potential for increasing shareholder value."
