Lithium Corporation Announces Restructuring Of Nevada Lithium Project Interests With Morella Corporation


(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Elko, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2025) - Lithium Corporation (OTCQB: LTUM) ("the Company"), a mineral exploration company committed to advancing North America's energy independence through domestic critical mineral resource exploration and development, is pleased to announce the execution of a binding Deed of Termination and Assignment with Morella Corporation Limited (ASX: 1MC) ("Morella"), restructuring joint venture arrangements over the Fish Lake Valley ("FLV") South and North Big Smoky ("NBS") lithium prospects in Nevada, USA.

The restructuring follows a comprehensive review by Morella of the FLV South and NBS project areas which demonstrated promising lithium exploration results and are regarded as high-potential assets with strong development pathways. The new agreement allows Lithium Corporation to focus on advancing the Fish Lake Valley North prospect, where lithium-boron enriched brine was produced in the past. The reappearance of the FLV North project as a 100% owned asset will greatly enhance the Company's broader portfolio of critical minerals prospects including its San Emidio lithium prospect in northwestern Nevada, and rare earth elements, graphite, antimony and fluorspar prospects in British Columbia, Canada. The revised structure enables both parties to focus on the most prospective areas within their respective portfolios, while maintaining alignment through royalty and ROFR mechanisms.

Lithium Corporation believes this agreement enhances its strategic flexibility and preserves long-term value through retained royalty interests and continued exposure to the development of FLV South and NBS. The Company remains committed to advancing its wholly owned assets and evaluating new opportunities in the critical minerals exploration sector.

Tom Lewis, President, Lithium Corporation, commented, "This restructuring reflects a pragmatic and mutually beneficial evolution of our long-standing relationship with Morella. By simplifying ownership structures and retaining royalty exposure, Lithium Corporation is well-positioned to benefit from future development success at FLV South and NBS, while focusing our efforts on advancing FLV North and our other assets."

Key Terms of the Agreement

Project Realignment

  • Morella will assume 100% ownership of the FLV South and NBS project areas.
  • Lithium Corporation will retain 100% ownership of the FLV North claims.

Royalty Interests

  • Lithium Corporation retains a 3.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) over both FLV South and NBS.
  • Morella holds the right to repurchase 50% of the NSR for $3 million USD (FLV South) and $2 million USD (NBS) within five years.

Equity Considerations

  • Shares previously due to Lithium Corporation in 2025 under the original agreements will now be issued on a staggered basis over an 18-month period.
  • All future share entitlements beyond this issuance have been extinguished.

Mutual Rights of First Refusal (ROFR)
