Cauchari Drilling and Corporate Update

Brisbane, Jan 17, 2019 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Argentine-focused lithium exploration and project development company Lake Resources NL (googlechartASX:LKE) has progressed drilling at Lake's 100% owned Cauchari Lithium Brine Project (see Figure 1 in link below).

- Drilling ongoing at Lake's Cauchari Lithium Brine Project adjacent to major projects.

- High fluid pressures experienced downhole are very encouraging but have made drilling progress challenging - third hole is now underway with adjusted drilling method

- Drilling has extended brine conditions encountered in the adjacent brine producing basin extends into LKE's leases

- New York based consultants RB Milestone engaged to broaden access to North American market.

Cauchari Drilling

Drilling has encountered high fluid pressures downhole, which are encouraging, but to date have prevented the hole reaching the targeted horizons, so that representative brine samples have not yet been able to be taken. Nevertheless, it is encouraging that drilling has encountered brine within sandy horizons, demonstrating that the large Cauchari brine-producing basin extends itself well into the company's leases.

Drill hole #3 is now underway and is currently at 140 metres depth (see Figure 3 in link below). The diamond drill rig that attempted to drill the second hole has been removed and adjusted drilling methods are being reviewed.

High grade third party drill results continue to be reported close to the lease boundary, including 611mg/L lithium with high flow rates from a deeper sand unit reported by Orocobre/Advantage Lithium (see Note below) (see Figures 2,3 in link below). This is also very encouraging for Lake.

Lake's Managing Director Stephen Promnitz said: "While drilling has been frustratingly slow at Cauchari, the upside is that the challenging downhole conditions show that the large, adjoining producing brine basin extends into our leases. Our focus is on getting to the targeted horizons and sampling them as quickly as possible."

Engagement of US-Based Consulting Firm RB Milestone Group

Lake has also engaged US based consultants, RB Milestone Group LLC ("RBMG"), in North America to broaden access to a wider investor audience.
