Cardiff Energy Corp Announces Work Program for its Eastmain River Lithium Property, and Details Property Transactions

Vancouver, BC / September 1 2016 / TheNewswire - Cardiff Energy Corp. (the "Company") (TSX-V: "CRS", Frankfurt: "C2Z.F", US Pinksheets: "CRRDF") is pleased to announce plans for a fall exploration program of its Eastmain River lithium Property (the "Property") located in the James Bay region of Quebec. Furthermore, as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its disclosure.

The Eastmain River Property consists of three claim blocks, totalling 3,377 hectares (ha), and is considered prospective for lithium bearing spodumene pegmatites. Good infrastructure is present in the area with a gravel road and powerline passing within several kilometres of the Property. The northern claim block totals 2,268 ha in size, with the two southern claim blocks totalling 1,109 ha in size combined.

The Property is situated in the vicinity of the James Bay (Cyr / Eastmain) Deposit of Galaxy Resources, which is reported to contain indicated resources of 11.8 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.30% Li2O and inferred resources of 10.5 Mt at 1.20% Li2O at a 0.75 per cent Li2O cut-off (see Galaxy Resources Ltd.'s technical report dated Dec. 30, 2010).

Management cautions that past results or discoveries on adjacent properties may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties. The Company would like to emphasize that the information provided in their June 22, 2016 and July 11, 2016 news releases pertained to adjacent properties and not the Company's, and it is not indicative of the mineralization on the Eastmain River Lithium Property as geology and mineralization could differ substantially. Additionally, in both releases the Company failed to provide the name and relationship to the Company of the qualified person who prepared, supervised the preparation of the information forming the basis of the disclosure, and approved the disclosure.

The Company intends to carry out a fall exploration program that will include prospecting of previously mapped pegmatite occurrences noted on the two southern claim blocks, with an emphasis on identifying spodumene. Pegmatites with lithium bearing mineralogy, if so discovered, will be mapped and undergo surface grab and/or channel sampling for further assessment. In addition, prospecting will be completed on the remainder of the Property in an effort to locate additional pegmatite occurrences of interest.

The Company has retained Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. ("Dahrouge") to manage the exploration of the Eastmain River lithium Property. Dahrouge is a mineral exploration, consulting, and project management group based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, with considerable experience in numerous jurisdictions and over a wide array of commodities (including lithium), and are credited with the discovery of several notable deposits (Upper Fir, Ashram, Parsons Creek, J-Zone, etc.).
