About Wealth Minerals Ltd.
Wealth is a mineral resource company with interests in Canada, Mexico and Chile. The Company's
main focus is the acquisition and development of lithium projects in South America. To date, the
Company has positioned itself to work alongside existing producers in the prolific Atacama salar,
where the Company has a substantial license package.
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. The Company also maintains
and continues to evaluate a portfolio of precious and base metal exploration-stage projects.
