About Wealth Minerals Ltd.

Wealth is a mineral resource company with interests in Canada and Chile. The Company’s focus is the

acquisition and development of lithium projects in South America.

The Company opportunistically advances battery metal projects where it has a peer advantage in project

selection and initial evaluation. Lithium market dynamics and a rapidly increasing metal price are the result

of profound structural issues with the industry meeting anticipated future demand. Wealth is positioning

itself to be a major beneficiary of this future mismatch of supply and demand. In parallel with lithium

market dynamics, Wealth believes other battery metals will benefit from similar industry trends.
