               LITHIUM CORPORATION STAKES FISH LAKE VALLEY CLAIMS

RENO, NV - Mar 12, 2013 -Lithium  Corporation (OTCBB:  LTUM) (the "Company",  or
"Lithco") is pleased to announce that it has staked strategically-located claims
at its Fish Lake Valley property in Esmeralda County, Nevada.

The Company  became aware several months ago that certain claims held by a third
party in the area of Lithium  Corporation's most recent exploration work at Fish
Lake Valley had been allowed to lapse, and the Company immediately took steps to
acquire  a block of 320  acres  through  staking.  These  claims  have long been
considered  critical  to the  Company's  efforts  at Fish Lake  Valley.  This is
confirmed  by the  late  2012  drill  program,  which  outlined  the  open-ended
subsurface  lithium/boron/potassium anomaly that trends into this newly acquired
ground.

The Company intends to drill more in Fish Lake Valley,  once surface  conditions
improve  later in 2013.  In addition to the Fish Lake Valley  prospect,  Lithium
Corporation  is actively  exploring  its San Emidio  property,  and continues to
generate and evaluate other exploration prospects.

The Company  has decided to  terminate  its efforts  with  respect to becoming a
reporting  issuer  in  Canada,  and  will  not seek a  listing  on any  Canadian
exchange, until such time as market conditions improve in Canada.
