Marifil Finds Lithium In Catamarca Province

Spokane, Washington -- December 1, 2009 -- Marifil Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MFM) ("Marifil" or "the Company") announces that it has found anomalous amounts of lithium on several of its lithium claims (cateos) in Catamarca Province, Argentina.

Initial prospecting was carried out by digging holes up to 2 meters deep and sampling saline crusts and/or brine (salty water) samples if brines were present. The map below shows the location and approximate values of lithium found in this initial exploration program.

Anomalous amounts of lithium, boron, and potash were found on the Company's Antofalla II and Cachari Pampa claims. The assays are summarized below.

A National Instrument 43-101 report is in preparation and the Company expects to have this report completed within ten days. Meanwhile the Company will be mobilizing one of its teams to this area to carry out more detailed sampling.

"While some of these samples contain anomalous amounts of lithium, boron, and potassium and are highly encouraging, more work is necessary to better understand the claims," stated John Hite, president of Marifil Mines. "We will be mobilizing a crew to carry out more closely spaced sampling as well as to sample some new claims the Company has staked in Jujuy Province.
