Wealth Minerals Engages MZ Group to Support Strategic Investor

Relations and Shareholder Communications Program

Vancouver, British Columbia – February 29, 2024 – Wealth Minerals Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wealth”)

– (TSXV: WML; OTCQB: WMLLF; SSE: WMLCL; FSE: EJZN), a developer of premier Chilean lithium

projects in support of the global energy transition, today announced the engagement of international

investor relations specialists MZ Group (MZ) to support a strategic investor relations and financial

communications program across all key markets.

MZ Group will work closely with Wealth Minerals management, alongside Liviakis Financial

Communications, to develop and implement a comprehensive capital markets strategy designed to increase

the Company’s visibility throughout the investment community. The initiative will highlight Wealth

Minerals’ flagship lithium projects in Chile – a U.S. free trade partner country as noted in the Inflation

Reduction Act – which positions the Company as a potential beneficiary of the global energy transition

through the supply of responsibly sourced lithium.

MZ maintains offices worldwide and has developed a distinguished reputation as a premier resource for

institutional investors, brokers, analysts, and private investors.

Lucas A. Zimmerman, Managing Director at MZ North America, and Ian Scargill, Senior Vice President,

will advise Wealth Minerals regarding corporate and financial communications, including the coordination

of roadshows and investment conferences across key cities and building brand awareness with financial

and social media outlets.

Zimmerman commented: “ With the global energy transition driving increased lithium demand against a

backdrop of limited supply, the industry is facing a structural supply/demand gap. Meanwhile, the Inflation

Reduction Act has created an incentive to source lithium from free- trade partner countries such as Chile,

creating a dynamic where consumers of lithium are securing future supplies of raw materials directly with

junior miners . In addition, M&A activity in the lithium space has been robust in recent years . Taken

together, this presents a unique opportunity for Wealth Minerals , which maintains two flagship Chilean

lithium projects spanning over 50,000 hectares in aggregate.

“The Company’s Atacama Lithium Project spans 46,200 hectares in total in the Atacama Salar in Region

II of Antofagasta in Northern Chile, the world’s highest grade and largest producing brine deposit. In

addition, t he Company’s recently expanded Kuska Lithium Project maintains a n after -tax NPV (10%

discount) of US$1.15B with a project IRR of 28%, per a Preliminary Economic Assessment announced in

January of this year. When taken together with future development potential, we find Wealth Minerals to

be a compelling lithium opportunity for our network of institutional and family office investors worldwide.”

Hendrik van Alphen, Chief Executive Officer of Wealth Minerals, added: “We believe 2024 has the

potential to be a landmark year for Wealth Minerals as we continue to drive forward development of our

project portfolio. We continue to see strong demand for lithium to help narrow the potential future supply

gap amidst the backdrop of the global energy transition. To that end, I look forward to working with the
