Vancouver, BC, September 5, 2019 – One World Lithium Inc. (OTCQB-OWRDF) (CSE-OWLI) (the “Company” or “OWL”) announces that Mike Rosko of Montgomery & Associates (“M&A”) and operator of the Salar del Diablo exploration program will be meeting drilling companies and other service providers in Hermosillo, Mexico before touring the Salar del Diablo Property located in Baja California, Mexico. Also attending the meetings and site tour will be Doug Fulcher, OWL’s President and CEO, and Kevin Milledge, an OWL Director and manager of field operations.

The current proposed drilling program is planned for four holes to be drilled to a depth of 600 meters each to collect some 20 groundwater samples at specified depths using a depth specific packer system. A second exploration program will then be proposed by M&A to further define the lithium potential in the basin.
