TSX Venture Exchange: "KRS"

CALGARY, Dec. 6, 2017 /CNW/ - Kairos Capital Corporation ("Kairos" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that sampling at its Atacama and Ollague properties has returned results as high as 1330mg/l and 590mg/l respectively. The results were obtained from both brine and salt samples directly at surface and within 1.5 metres of surface from hand auger holes.

In addition, the Company is pleased to advise that the gravity surveys on the Helados, Atacama, Coipasa, Turi and Talar properties are in progress. The Transient Electro Magnetic ("TEM") surveys are expected to commence before month-end initially on the Helados property.

  • The Company's new website has launched: www.lithiumchile.ca             

Steve Cochrane, CEO and President of Kairos Capital, commented, "These latest results are extremely promising, particularly on our Atacama property, where lithium brines have shown grades that are close to the production grades of 1500 mg/l at the Albemarle and SQM Atacama lithium operations. Based on the results of our current geophysical surveys, we look forward to an active drilling campaign throughout 2018.
