Rodinia Lithium Inc. ("Rodinia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RM)(OTCQX:RDNAF)
is pleased to announce that a drill has been mobilized and is set to commence
drilling the first production well on its 100% owned Salar de Diablillos lithium
brine project ("Diablillos" or "Salar") located in Salta Province, Argentina.
The first production sized well is to be drilled in the vicinity of DRC-01 that
intersected averages of 713 mg/L lithium ("Li"), 9,000 mg/L potassium ("K"), and
543 mg/L boron ("B") over the 120 metre drill hole depth (refer to press release
dated September 17, 2010).


"Initiating our first production sized well only 17 months after the discovery
hole at Diablillos was announced, in our opinion, demonstrates the company's
strategy to fast track the development of the project," commented William
Randall, President & CEO of Rodinia. "This marks yet another important step
towards completing the work required for a feasibility study. This first
production well, along with the majority of the subsequent evaluation work to
follow, will be designed and executed in a manner such that they can also be
incorporated into the commercial production facility. This is anticipated to
save us time and capital as we continue to move towards production."


The production well is designed to evaluate the range of pumping rates, well
efficiencies and drawdown/recharge characteristics of the middle and lower
aquifers during a long term high volume pump test. The plan is to install a deep
well pump, capable of volumes up to 3800 l/min, in a 10-inch diameter cased well
237 meters deep terminated just above the crystalline basement rocks. The
proposed pump test will proceed for 10-15 days and will provide engineering data
for a feasibility study.


The production well is to be drilled in the vicinity of the anticipated
commercial production well field. The well will target the two largest aquifers
modeled in the resource estimate, in addition to being located in one of the
deepest portions of the basin. The well is also centered in close proximity to
the higher grade portions of the resource, potentially allowing higher grades to
be accessed during the initial production years.


The Project is supervised by Ray Spanjers, Rodinia's Manager of Exploration. Mr.
Spanjers is considered a qualified person, as defined by National Instrument
43-101, and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information
in this release. According to the Company's sampling protocol, sample size is to
exceed 500 millilitres and be stored in clean, secure containers for
transportation. The prepared samples are then forwarded to the ALS Laboratory
Group, Environmental Division, in Fort Collins, Co (USA) for analysis. A
rigorous QA/QC program is implemented consisting of regular insertion of
standards and blanks to ensure laboratory integrity.


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 evaluation
work and advancing through feasibility study.


The Company also holds 100% mineral rights to approximately 70,000 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.


The Projects are supervised by Ray Spanjers, Rodinia's Manager of Exploration.
Mr. Spanjers is considered a Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument
43-101.
