VANCOUVER, Dec. 3, 2015 /CNW/ - Lithium X Energy Corp. ("Lithium X" or "the Company") (TSXV: LIX) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Montandon to the Company's Advisory Board.
"Mr. Montandon was elected to three terms as mayor of North Las Vegas, one of America's fastest-growing cities," said Mr. Paes-Braga. "His exceptional contacts at all levels of business, finance and government in Nevada will help Lithium X build positive local relationships as we develop the Clayton Valley North lithium project."

"Nevada is a great environment for electric vehicles, and more importantly, their batteries. Every new technology on the drawing board has one thing in common: lithium. I see a bright future for Nevada's lithium market."
