Rodinia Lithium Provides Processing Update on Progress at Diablillos

Rodinia Lithium Inc. ("Rodinia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RM)(OTCQX:RDNAF)
is pleased to provide an update on its small scale pilot pond system at its
wholly owned Salar de Diablillos lithium-potash project, located in Salta
Province, Argentina. The small scale pilot pond system, which has been working
continuously since February 2012, has been providing on site experience and
allowing for several advances in the metallurgical process. Highlights from the
pilot pond system include:




--  Second batch of lithium carbonate produced, increasing purity to 99.79%
    Li2CO3 
--  Additional work completed to improve removal of interfering magnesium
    and sulphate ions 
--  Developed and demonstrated an alternate method to produce caustic soda
    during the process 
--  Use of caustic soda later in the production process, potentially
    reducing reagent costs 
--  Work continues on site to improve yield, develop separation techniques
    and reduce raw material costs



William Randall, President & CEO of Rodinia, commented, "While we experienced
delays due to a variety of factors, including a third straight year of record
rainfall during January and February, we are on track to deliver an updated
economic study on the project. Results of additional work conducted on the Salar
lead us to believe the updated study will be in line with our previously
completed Preliminary Economic Assessment, showing very robust figures with
relatively low capital expenditure. Management believes that the high returns
and low capital output of the project are attractive components in the current
financial climate." 


During the first quarter of 2013, a second process run on a larger scale was
completed, resulting in the production of a second batch of lithium carbonate.
The process employed remains largely the same as the Company's initial run, but
the increased quantity of lithium carbonate produced allowed for a hot water
wash to improve the quality of the lithium carbonate. This additional step in
the process resulted in increased lithium carbonate purity of 99.79%.


In addition to completing production of a second batch of lithium carbonate, the
Company's engineering team has been operating the small scale pilot pond system
continuously in search of improvements in the process design. The engineering
department has been successful in lowering magnesium and sulphate concentration
below levels achieved in previous runs. Removal of magnesium and sulphate ions
to achieve low concentration levels in accordance with the Company's process
design has been successful.


In addition, a significant development has been achieved in the production of
caustic soda during the evaporation sequence. An alternate method was tested on
the Salar in an attempt to harvest caustic soda during the regular operation of
the evaporation ponds. The Company remains encouraged that the successful
harvesting of caustic soda could result in lowered externally sourced reagent
use, which in turn, has the potential to lead to meaningful operating cost
savings.


The Company expects to provide further updates of work completed on the Salar de
Diablillos over the coming months.

About Rodinia Lithium Inc.:

Rodinia Lithium Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company
with a primary focus on Lithium exploration and development in North and South
America. The Company is also actively exploring the commercialization of a
significant Potash co-product that is expected to be recoverable through the
lithium harvesting process.


Rodinia's Salar de Diablillos lithium-brine project in Salta, Argentina,
contains a recoverable resource of 2.82 million tonnes lithium carbonate
equivalent and 11.27 million tonnes potassium chloride equivalent. The project
contains a recoverable inferred resource of 952,553,000 m3 grading 556 mg/L
lithium and 6,206 mg/L potassium. Throughout 2012, Rodinia will focus on
continuing to develop the Diablillos project by completing additional drilling
and advancing through feasibility study. 


The Company also holds 100% mineral rights to approximately 15,000 acres in
Nevada's lithium-rich Clayton Valley in Esmeralda County, and is currently in
the process of assessing the size, quality and processing alternatives of this
deposit. The Clayton Valley project is located in the only known lithium-brine
bearing salt lake in North America, and looks to represent the only new source
for domestic lithium carbonate supply.
