AmeriLithium Announces Promising Results From Drilling Program Sampling on Nevada Based Lithium Project

HENDERSON, NV, June 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AmeriLithium Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: AMEL; "AmeriLithium" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the Company has received promising results from both primary sampling (March 15th to 31st, 2011) taken during the initial drilling, and secondary sampling (May 11th to 12th, 2011) taken from the initial 3 drill holes of the Company's 8-hole drill program on the Paymaster Canyon Lithium brine project in Nevada, USA.

As originally reported on May 4, 2011, (a) the Company had only received its final QA/QC results from one of the two independent laboratories utilized in analyzing the first phase of exploration drilling, and (b) while preliminary results during the reconnaissance drilling itself were highly encouraging, additional detailed analysis based on previously acquired samples as well as additional secondary samples was encouraged.

AmeriLithium has now received results from both ALS and Test America Laboratories, Inc. according to the Company's QA/QC procedures. The sampling results show the presence of Lithium enriched brine in Drill Hole (DH) 8 with elevated water temperatures in both DH8 and DH2. (See further below for detailed comments from AmeriLithium's VP of Exploration & Chief Geologist, Robert Allender.)

Analysis of samples collected from the 3 initial-phase drill holes returned the following results with all units reported in mg/l (ppm):

(ND = No Detection)

These results are promising, and will be used in the development of DH8 and DH2, as well as in the design of AmeriLithium's secondary stage drilling program, which is currently being developed (further program details will be released at a later stage).

"Although our Paymaster Asset still requires further development, its great to have encountered Lithium with our first drilling program for the Company," commented Matthew Worrall, AmeriLithium's Chief Executive Officer. "These results also go to prove the results from our initial stages of exploration (Gravity & CSAMT/MT Surveys). Needless to say, we're encouraged by these initial results, and we now look forward to progressing with the next Paymaster development phase."

DETAILED COMMENTS ON DRILL SAMPLING RESULTS

AmeriLithium's VP of Exploration & Chief Geologist, Robert Allender, commented further on the drill sampling results as follows:

"The results thus far from DH8 along with the elevated temperature gradient in the hole may be indicative of meteoric and/or geothermal water upwelling along the Paymaster Fault which has obtained its heat from deep circulation or it may be in contact with a relatively shallow magma chamber.  In any case, the heat source could be the source of lithium-enriched magma that produced the volcanic rocks that may be one of the lithium sources for Clayton Valley." 

"DH-2 location results will assist in the placement of Phase II drill holes, DH-1 and DH-3.  Elevated groundwater temperatures in DH-2 indicate geothermal activity in the area consistent with possible lithium-bearing brine.  The metal concentrations in samples of this water are not, however, consistent with the level of electrical conductivity in this area as shown by the EM survey.  Phase II Drill Holes will be located to test this anomaly to a depth of over 350 meters and will be placed southwest of DH-2 closer to the Paymaster Fault.  This optimum location will test the center of the gravity and EM survey anomalies previously detected in the North Paymaster area of the property."

The Project is supervised by Robert Allender, AmeriLithium's VP of Exploration and Chief Geologist.  Mr. Allender is considered a qualified person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this release.

ABOUT LITHIUM: Lithium is a lightweight metal used in a wide range of consumer products the world over: the medical industry uses Lithium as an anti-depressant; industrial uses include glass, ceramic and porcelain enamel manufacture; the aviation industry uses Lithium in alloys. Of particular interest is the use of Lithium for battery production, which has expanded significantly in recent years due to rechargeable Lithium batteries being used increasingly in electrical tools and in the rapidly expanding portable electronics market. Furthermore, the next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles are being designed to use high-capacity Lithium-ion batteries as environmentally-friendly fuel alternatives while the Obama administration has introduced $5 billion in funding and incentives for the development of a secure, domestic battery industry with special focus on Lithium-ion batteries.

ABOUT AMERILITHIUM: AmeriLithium is a publicly traded (NASD OTC BB: AMEL), mining company committed to progressively developing into one of the leading American players in the global Lithium industry. The Company is headquartered in Henderson, NV. AmeriLithium has amassed a Lithium portfolio consisting of ~724,000 acres, including three Nevada-based projects nearby the only Lithium producing plant in the US, a large project in Alberta, Canada, and a project in Western Australia.
