VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 16, 2017) - Millennial Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ML)(FRANKFURT:A3N2)(OTCQB:MLNLF) ("Millennial" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has engaged RK Equity Advisors LLC ("RK Equity") of New York as capital markets advisor to assist Millennial in raising its profile in the institutional investment community and sourcing development capital for its lithium projects in Argentina.

Millennial's proven technical and advisory team, led by Iain Scarr who brought Galaxy Resource's Sal da Vida through definitive feasibility, as well as strategic advisor Vijay Mehta, gives us high confidence that Millennial will earn a position in the ranks of top lithium companies in the foreseeable future."
