James Bay Lithium Pegmatite Project

The James Bay Project hosts a significant spodumene pegmatite deposit at surface in northwestern Quebec. � In 2010, Lithium One announced a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource including 11.75 million tonnes at 1.30% lithium oxide in the indicated category, and 10.47 million tonnes at 1.20% lithium oxide in the inferred category, at a 0.75% lithium oxide cutoff grade.�  The resource was described by SRK as likely amenable to open pit extraction and as having potential for an increase in both tonnes and grade with further drilling. (See Company news release dated November 18, 2010).� 

� 

The James Bay Project has comparable geology and physical characteristics to Galaxy’s Mt. Cattlin operating lithium mine in Western Australia, creating similarities and synergies that should assist Galaxy with fast tracking the feasibility study.� �

About Lithium One:

Lithium One Inc. is a Canadian-based explorer and developer of mineral properties with a specific focus on lithium.�  The Company has two major lithium projects funded through feasibility by earn-in partners: the brownfields Sal de Vida lithium brine project in Argentina partnered with KORES, LG International and GS Caltex; and the James Bay bulk tonnage spodumene project in Quebec, partnered with Galaxy Resources Limited.�  If both option agreements proceed through feasibility as contemplated, Lithium One will retain 70% ownership of the Sal de Vida lithium brine project and 30% ownership of the James Bay lithium pegmatite project.�  Having both projects funded through feasibility is an indication of the strength of these two projects.�  Lithium One will now focus its efforts on developing Sal de Vida into a high quality, low-cost lithium producer, while assisting Galaxy in maximizing the value of the James Bay Project.
