Ultra Lithium Sampling Results Confirm Historical Lithium Values and Identify New Brine Targets In Catamarca, Argentina

/in /by

Vancouver, BC – Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSX-V: ULI) (FSE: QFB) (“ULI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received assay results from the September 2017 exploration work completed on two of the four brine lithium properties recently acquired by the Company in the Province of Catamarca, Argentina. The exploration work was completed on La Borita and Antefalla properties, and was comprised of drilling short holes in ground down to a depth of up to one meter below surface to take shallow brine samples, and to resample existing deep historical drill holes on La Borita. Highlights of the assay results are presented below and a table showing location and results of each sample is attached with this press release.

La Borita Brine Lithium Property

  • Brine sample from Hole LB002 was 220 milligrams per liter (mg/L) lithium, 1140 mg/L magnesium, 423 mg/L boron and 1790 mg/L potassium.
  • Brine sample from Hole LB004 returned 176 mg/L lithium, 4690 mg/L magnesium, 336 mg/L boron, and 579 mg/L potassium.
  • Brine sample from Hole LBDDH005, a 650-meter-deep well, which was repeatedly sampled in the past returned lithium values 215 mg/L, magnesium 983 mg/L, boron 425 mg/L and potassium 1990 mg/L. These results are in line with the historical assay results reported in the Company’s press release dated June 27, 2017
  • Shallow subsurface brine samples indicate anomalous lithium values in the range of 3.1 mg/L to 45.8 mg/L, magnesium 379 mg/L to 4690 mg/L, boron less than 14 mg/L to 210 mg/L.
  • The results indicate a deeper source of lithium concentration as samples from all deeper holes return significantly higher (3 to 4 times) values than the shallow subsurface samples.
  • The Company is planning to carry out pump tests on deeper holes to determine the brine production capacity of each aquifer intercepted in drill holes. Historical core and drill logs are available for planning pump tests.

Antafalla Brine Lithium Property

  • 12 shallow subsurface brine samples indicate anomalous values of lithium, in the range of 2.55 mg/L to 75.5 mg/L with an average of 31.8 mg/L.
  • Magnesium values are in the range of 36.3 mg/L to 1100 mg/L with average 528.8 mg/L, boron less than 14 mg/L to 27.5 mg/L, potassium less than 15 mg/L to 1,390 mg/L.
  • ULI’s Antafalla property is located adjacent to the north of Albemarle’s Antafalla property which was acquired by Albemarle from Bolland Minera in 2016.
  • According to Roskill’s report of September 16, 2016, Bolland Minera, has to-date drilled 56 boreholes over 265 square km and defined a resource of 83Mt of potash (KCl) grading 6,400mg/l and 2.22Mt of lithium (11.8Mt LCE) grading 350mg/l.
  • A review of historical drill logs of Bolland indicate that lithium grades tend to increase with depth. Ultra Lithium will plan to drill deeper holes after finishing the current exploration work program.

It is located within the “Lithium Triangle.” The Property is comprised of four mining claims (“minas”) named: 17 de Junio, Fenix, Betito, and Guayracocha covering approximately 3,000 hectares. It is situated 15 kilometers to the east of the Salar de Antofalla, a lithium, potassium deposit historically explored by Rio Tinto and currently owned by Albemarle Corporation, a leading lithium producer in the world.

Historical exploration data indicates the potential of the area to host a lithium exploration target with a favorable chemical profile especially a low magnesium to lithium ratio.

The Property has been explored for base metals since the 1970s. Recent exploration work was carried out during 2010-2013 by Minera Mariana Argentina S.A., a subsidiary of Mariana Resources Ltd., a Canadian mining company. A total of five holes were completed on the Property with cumulative drilling of 1785 meters during this period. Ultra Lithium has acquired historical brine samples assay results for the five holes. Chemical analysis on samples was performed by Alex Stewart Laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina using industry standard trace inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) methods. The historical values are:

  • Hole LB001 was 228 milligrams per liter (mg/L) lithium, 844 mg/L magnesium, and 2222 mg/L potassium.
  • Hole LB002 returned 226 mg/L lithium, 856 mg/L magnesium and 2248 mg/L potassium.
  • Hole LBDDH005, a 650-meter-deep well, was sampled twice from November 2011, and then December 2012. Lithium values were 228 mg/L in 2011 and 242 mg/L in 2012. Magnesium was 844 mg/L for 2011 and 854 mg/L for 2012, and potassium was 2222 mg/L in 2011 and 2215 mg/L in 2012.
  • Holes LB003 and LB004 returned no anomalous lithium values.

The reported copper and base metals mineralization on the Property is composed of: 1) Rusty copper minerals in travertine, with malachite, azurite, atazanite, freirinite and calcantite dissolving in water; and 2) Phosgenite (lead) veins. There are several reported old adits and trenches on the Property, and 15 surface samples collected by Mariana indicated values of copper from 0.38 to 3.41% with anomalous values of lead, zinc and silver.

CAUTION: A qualified person has not done sufficient work to verify the historical results; therefore, they should not be relied upon and are presented for informational purposes only. The historical information will be used by Company to plan further exploration.

  1. Under the terms of agreement signed on June 20, 2017 between Luis Manuel Alvarez (the Vendor) and the Company, ULI will pay the following:
    408,320 Argentinian Pesos (approximately USD $25,520) to the Mining Secretariat of Catamarca upon signing the agreement. The payment is for outstanding canon fees.
  2. USD $30,000 30 days after verification sampling and due diligence is completed.
  3. USD $1,000,000 in four equal quarterly payments commencing one year from signing the agreement to acquire 100% rights on the Property.

The Vendor will retain a 2.5 % royalty.

Dr. Weiguo Lang, CEO of Ultra Lithium, stated that, “We are very pleased with our efforts to complete this acquisition. This transaction will not only provide the Company with an opportunity to explore for lithium and other metals from the same property but also allow us to well position ourselves in the world’s best known Lithium Triangle for more acquisition opportunities in the area.

The Phase 1 exploration program will focus on the following tasks:

  • Prospecting and grab sampling of historical drilling and sampling areas on eight lithium pegmatites on the Property;
  • Stripping and systematic channel sampling of lithium pegmatites at suitable intervals;
  • Laboratory testing of samples for lithium, cesium, tantalum, beryllium and other rare metals; and,
  • Identify areas for initial drill testing as part of a second phase of exploration.

The field crew has been mobilized to start prospecting, mapping, and grab sampling work. The Company has also initiated permitting for ground stripping, trenching, and diamond drilling.

Dr. Weiguo Lang, CEO of Ultra Lithium, stated that, “While ULI’s first priority remains ongoing exploration at the South Big Smoky Valley brine lithium project, the Company’s management considers the assessment of the potential of Georgia Lake lithium property important to the Company’s growth strategy. Lithium occurrences known in the Georgia Lake property were explored during the mid-1950’s, a period marked by a boom in the lithium industry in North America. The Company is in the process of acquiring more powerful drilling equipment for the South Big Smoky Valley project to complete the first two drill holes. The management is focused on adding shareholder value in the current strong lithium market through systematic exploration of both hard rock and brine lithium projects”.

The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Afzaal Pirzada, P.Geo., a qualified person, as defined by NI 43-101 who works as a consultant with the Company.

About Ultra Lithium Inc.
Ultra Lithium is an exploration and development company with a focus on the acquisition and development of lithium assets. The Company is currently focused on North American acquisitions and exploring its Big Smoky Valley Project located in Nevada, USA.
