    Additional Nickel Mineralisation Identified, Togo

    Highlights

    *     Additional shallow nickel mineralisation from Kpot?rospect test pitting
    *     Intersections include 4m @ 2.27% Ni, 12m @ 1.30% Ni, 7.4m @ 1.44% Ni and 10m @ 1.41% Ni
    *     Additional nickel mineralisation encountered at nearby Mt Haito prospect

    Lithic Metals and Energy (AIM:LMY) today announce analytical results from test pitting at its Kpot?nd Haito nickel prospects, Togo.

    The Company has now completed test pitting across the Kpot hill prospect, where it has defined nickel mineralisation over a strike
length in excess of 1.5 kilometres and open at depth. Elevated nickel values trend towards the north beneath a blanket of laterite cover,
through which test pitting has proved ineffective due to depth of penetration limitations of the method.

    At the nearby Mount Haito prospect, broadly-spaced test pitting has also encountered shallow nickel mineralisation over a 2 kilometre
strike length.  Weathering of ultramafic lithology, the essential process required to enhance nickel values, appears to be less pronounced
at Mount Haito than that observed at Kpot?possibly explaining the typically lower nickel values encountered in pitting.

    A table of significant pit intersections is presented below.

    Commenting on these results, Lithic Managing Director Jim Kerr said "The results from this batch of test pitting that concluded in
August, builds on the positive nickel values generated from earlier pitting at Kpot?nd Haito.  We look forward to results of an additional
regional test pitting programme already completed on other prospective nickel targets within the project area.  We aim to demonstrate the
widespread nature of nickel saprolite mineralisation across a number of prospects at the Haito project."

    *Denotes pitting ended in >0.5% Ni grades

    Notes:
    1.  Nickel analyses completed by ALS laboratories Perth, Western Australia by ME XRF-12 borate flux method.
    2.  Intercepts calculated as a weighted average using >0.5% Ni values and a maximum of 2m internal waste, minimum width 1m
    3.  Cobalt values reported as a weighted average value over the corresponding reported nickel intersection.
