VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 4, 2021 / United Lithium Corp. (CSE:ULTH)(OTC PINK:ULTHF)(FWB:0UL) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent (the "LOI") with Sunstone Metals Limited ("Sunstone"), Scandian Metal Pty Ltd., Scandian Metals AB and Nortec Minerals Corp. ("Nortec"), contemplating the potential acquisition by the Company of 100% of the Kietyönmäki lithium project (the "Proposed Transaction").

Property Description

The Kietyönmäki lithium project, located in the Kietyönmäki lithium prospect, was discovered by the Finnish Geological Survey ("GTK") in the mid-1980's. GTK drilled 17 shallow diamond drill holes to test down to 70m below surface across three traverses, including one traverse of very shallow holes to locate bedrock. In 2016, six holes drilled by Sunstone intersected lithium mineralization hosted as a spodumene-bearing pegmatite dyke swarm.

Historical drilling results from GTK include:

• 24.25m @ 1.31% Li₂O in drillhole R310 from 58.75m depth
• 13m @ 1.66% Li₂O in drillhole R316 from 86.00m depth
• 23m @ 1.53% Li₂O in drillhole R307 from 14.10m depth

Historical results completed by the property vendors include:

• 42m @ 1.10% Li₂O in drillhole KMDD001 from 17.88m depth
• 6m @ 0.90% Li₂O in drillhole KMDD002 from 115.14m depth
• 9m @ 0.80% Li₂O in drillhole KMDD006 from 167.00m depth
