Etna Resources Inc. ("Etna") (TSX VENTURE:ETN) is pleased to announce that it
intends to change the name of the company to more effectively reflect the nature
of the business with which it is involved. Subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the
"Exchange") approval, Etna will become Pan American Lithium Corp., under the
symbol TSX-V: PL. 


Chilean Brine Salars

Etna is the owner of interests in nine salars with the potential to produce
lithium and other metals from surface lakes and subsurface brines, all located
in the mineral-rich Atacama Region III of Chile. The rights in these nine
lithium salars cover a cumulative area in excess of 11,500 hectares, all
accessible via serviceable roads. Etna has submitted a NI43-101 compliant report
on these projects and is currently reviewing its portfolio to determine a
priority amongst these properties and a process to move forward on the technical
assessment of these sites.


Mexican Geothermal Plant Brines

In addition, as announced on December 21, 2009, Etna has entered into a Share
Option Agreement with Escondidas Internacional S.A. de C.V. ("Escondidas"), a
privately held Mexican corporation, and the Shareholders of Escondidas. This
Agreement provides Etna the option to acquire 76% of the shares of Escondidas by
Etna, which will result in Etna receiving indirect interests in a joint venture
whereby Escondidas and another party will jointly develop lithium and precious
metals through concessions in the geothermal brines currently being produced at
the Cierro Prieto geothermal power plant located in Baja California, Mexico,
roughly 30 km south of the city of Mexicali. Etna has filed for, and has
received conditional acceptance from the Exchange for this proposed transaction.
This transaction remains subject to the final acceptance of the Exchange, which
among other things require Etna to provide a financial plan and business plan in
connection with the foregoing to the satisfaction of the Exchange.


On Behalf of the Board,

ETNA RESOURCES INC.
