United Lithium Corp. announced that it has increased its land position at the Kietyönmäki Project (the ?Project?) in Finland by approximately 20,000 hectares (?ha?). A new claim reservation was made approximately 6 km southeast of the main Kietyönmäki tenure, covering one known lithium-caesium-tantalum (?LCT?) pegmatite with historical sampling of 2% Li2O.

This area is highly prospective for further LCT pegmatite discoveries. The Main Dyke, within the original 900 ha Kietyönmäki parcel, historically returned strong drill results encouraging United to increase its holdings in the region. The new claim reservation comprises 20,170 ha (approximately 200 square kilometres (?km?)) 6.1 km to the southeast of the main Kietyönmäki exploration permit area.

This region was acquired because there are known lithium and tungsten-bearing pegmatites here and the structure interpreted to be associated with the emplacement of the Main Dyke extends into this area. Further, this region is relatively under-explored, easily accessible and has known S-type granites on the property. The known Li-bearing occurrence, Mikkola, was identified and sampled in the 1980?s by a company active in the area at the time and returned 2% Li2O from a 5-10 m wide body.

Geologically, this area is highly prospective for identifying new LCT pegmatites. United will conduct an initial field prospecting and outcrop sampling program on the high priority areas on the new ground with the goal of identifying drill targets. Areas that are most highly prospective will be converted to an exploration permit area at the appropriate time.
