Wealth Minerals’ Participation in Successful Consortium
License Permitting Bid
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE… Vancouver, British Columbia: Wealth Minerals Ltd. (the “Company” or
“Wealth”) – (TSXV: WML; OTCQB: WMLLF; SSE: WMLCL; FSE: EJZN) announces that a Consortium
to develop the Quillagua Este Salar in the Antofagasta Region, Chile, of which Wealth is a member, has
successfully submitted a CEOL (Special Lithium Operating Contract) application under the fast -track
process announced by the Chilean Government in September 2024 (see press release of September 30,
2024) and expanded in December 2024. The application was admitted by the Chile licensing authorities
due to the application Consortium: having more than 80% of the applicable polygon, demonstrating relevant
mining experience, and demonstrating financial capacity to fund a mining project. For reference about the
CEOL fast-track process, please see press release of April 23, 2025. Next steps, as per the CEOL process,
are the conclusion of Indigenous consultations, negotiations with the State organs as to specific operating
terms and a Presidential decree establishing the CEOL based on the application.
Wealth participated with three other local partners in a joint bid (the “Consortium”) to extract lithium from
the Quillagua Este Salar and is to provide strategic advice and know-how to the Consortium from its long
operating experience in Chile. Wealth has a 3% stake in the Consortium. The CEOL application calls for
lithium production from the Quillagua Este Salar, although p resently the Quillagua Este Salar lithium
project of the Consortium does not have an established resource or feasibility study.
Regarding the Consortium ’s success, Henk van Alphen, CEO of Wealth Minerals Ltd., said, “ While
Wealth’s stake in this endeavor is modest, this news does show that the Chilean regulatory regime can be
successfully navigated, while also demonstrating that the Chilean authorities support the development of
new lithium projects fully privately owned . Our success working with a group to make this CEOL
application further underscores our commitment to permitting our Kuska project, which is only 120 km
away to the northeast of the Quillagua Este Salar.”
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.
