PRODUCTION WELL PROGRAM UPDATE

Lithium South Development Corp. has formalized a contract with Well Drilling of Salta, Argentina, for the provision of a two-phase program of up to six production/pumping wells for the Hombre Muerto North lithium project (HMN Li project), located in Salta province, Argentina. Phase 1 will locate wells P1 and P2 on the Alba Sabrina claim block, and well P3 on the Natalia Maria claim block. Phase 2 will site an additional three production wells within a zone across the Norma Edit and Viamonte claim blocks. The Lithium South technical team is reviewing geological and regulatory details prior to a phase 2 decision. The total program will range between 1,000 metres and 1,500 metres, with a budgeted value of between $1.2-million (U.S.) to $1.8-million (U.S.).

Adrian F.C. Hobkirk, president and chief executive officer of the company, is quoted: "We are excited to begin the next phase of the development of the HMN Li project. The installation of production/pumping wells will provide valuable information regarding brine flow rates and pumping potential."

To provide increased exposure, the company is pleased to announce Drew Martel has joined the team as corporate development adviser.

About Lithium South Development Corp.

Lithium South owns 100 per cent of the Hombre Muerto North lithium project located in Salta province, Argentina, the heart of the lithium triangle. The Hombre Muerto salar has a history of lithium production with Livent Corp. in operation for over 25 years just south of the HMN Li project. The HMN Li project is surrounded by a $4-billion (U.S.) lithium development under way by POSCO (Korea) and the Sal de Vida project under development by Allkem. Lithium South has delineated a National Instrument 43-101 571,000-tonne lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) resource on the Tramo claim block, one of five non-contiguous blocks that make up the HMN Li project. Recent drilling on the Alba Sabrina and Natalia Maria claim blocks has identified additional lithium zones that will allow a new and potentially larger LCE resource to be defined. Lithium South is now transitioning from being a lithium explorer to becoming a lithium developer.

The technical and scientific information in this press release was reviewed and approved by William Feyerabend, CPG, a consulting geologist and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, who also participated in its production.
