Lithium Chile Updates Turi Drilling Program and Exploration Programs on Track Despite Chilean Protests

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 31, 2019) - Lithium Chile Inc. (TSXV: LITH) (OTCQB: LTMCF) ("Lithium Chile" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that on October 25, 2019 they filed the Turi project exploration drilling Notice of Work with SERNAGEOMIN. This is the final document required in the approvals process and paves the way for the upcoming exploration program on Turi. The Company now anticipates preparatory work for the first hole in their drill program will be initiated next week and mobilization of the drilling rig to Turi during the second or third week of November.

Lithium Chile has contracted Big Bear Drilling ("Big Bear") from La Serena, Chile for their Turi exploration program. Big Bear is currently organizing a team to travel to the Turi prospect area to arrange accommodation, supply and support services in advance of the Company's upcoming exploration program.

Lithium Chile has contracted Montgomery and Associates Consultores Limitada ("Montgomery and Associates") from Santiago to assist with both the drilling and sampling program on Turi because of their extensive experience in lithium exploration. Montgomery and Associates has developed most of the current Resources and Reserves definitions used for lithium brines in National Instrument 43-101 reports. They will assure QA/QC control in our sampling techniques.

To date, Lithium Chile's operations in Chile have been minimally impacted by the recent protests with only some delays in approvals as most government offices have been closed for the better part of a week. Lithium Chile's current exploration plans are on schedule as the Company continues to work with the local stakeholders to ensure both the Communities and the environment are respected and that all of the participants will benefit from Lithium Chile's programs.

Steve Cochrane, President and CEO of Lithium Chile, comments, "We are extremely pleased that our Turi exploration continues to advance in spite of the current challenges facing Chile. The support of our community partners is extremely important to us as we want be part of the solution going forward."
