Lithic Resources Ltd.: Metallurgical Testwork Underway for Crypto Project

Lithic Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LTH) (the "Company") is pleased
to provide an update of its activities and would like to report
that bench scale metallurgical testwork on mineralization from the
Crypto project is well underway. Approximately two tonnes of
sulphide mineralization were shipped to G&T Metallurgical
Services Ltd. in Kamloops, B.C. A series of composites were
constructed from these samples and are currently undergoing testing
to develop and optimize a flotation treatment scheme for sulphide
mineralization. Among other things, recoveries of zinc and copper
will be assessed and the resulting concentrates will be assayed for
potentially payable credits such as indium and gold. In addition,
the possibility of producing a saleable magnetite concentrate as a
byproduct of processing will be examined.
Another program of metallurgical testwork on a bulk composite of
oxide mineralization is being carried out by Kappes, Cassiday &
Associates in Reno, Nevada. The test program includes detailed
mineralogical analysis and a series of commercially proven leach
and concentration tests to identify possible methods for processing
the oxide zinc mineralization at Crypto.
Mine Development Associates of Reno, Nevada is nearing
completion of an updated resource estimate for the property which,
along with the metallurgical test work, will be incorporated into a
comprehensive NI 43-101 report expected for this fall.
On other business, Mr. Helmut Wober has decided to step down
from the Company's board of directors. The board thanks him for his
counsel and interest during his tenure and wishes him all the best
in a well-earned retirement.
Lithic Resources holds a 100% interest in the Crypto project in
western Utah where in the early 1990's, Cyprus Minerals estimated a
historical resource of 5.44 million tonnes of sulphide
mineralization grading 8.7% zinc and a further 2.8 million tonnes
of near surface oxide mineralization grading 7.0% zinc. Lithic's
2007-2008 program of exploration located significant new
mineralization on the property and identified unusually high levels
of indium that could have a very positive impact on the potential
economics of the project. Much of the mineralization remains open
for expansion. Also of note were multiple intercepts of significant
molybdenite mineralization, high grade silver-zinc-lead
mineralization and high grade oxide zinc mineralization.
