Ultra Lithium Completes Laguna Verde Option Payments
2023年12月29日 - 9:30PM
Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSXV: ULT OTCQB: ULTXF Frankfurt: QFB) (“Ultra
Lithium” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company
has completed all purchase payments for the Laguna Verde I, II and
III licences (the Laguna Verde License Area). The Company has
received a notarized deed of sale and has applied to the Catamarca
Mining Office to register the title transfer from the vendor to
Ultra Lithium’s wholly owned subsidiary in Argentina, Ultra
Argentina SRL.
Highlights of the Laguna Verde Brine Lithium
Project
In January 2023 Drill hole LV22-04 at location S
25° 18' 51,3"; W 67° 57' 55,7" was drilled down to 227 meters and
assayed up to 417 parts per million (“ppm” or “mg/L”) lithium (Li)
from two rounds of sampling completed in January – February 2023
(see press release dated February 28, 2023). Earlier, the
geophysical study of well LV22-01 at location S 25°, 19', 12.40"; W
67°, 56', 58.05 indicated the presence of a continuous single brine
aquifer comprising of mainly clastic sediments from 14 meters to
205 meters depth with a marked hydrothermal presence towards the
deeper section. Conductivity shows an increase with depth, which is
interpreted to achieve better lithium concentrations through
pumping and more cleaning of the well. Overall concentration of
ions and metals indicate a single unconfined aquifer down the
sampling depth of 120 m.

Exploratory sampling conducted by the Company in
2018 has shown lithium values in the range of 34 to 1,270
milligrams per liter (mg/L) – (see press release dated February 2,
2018). The Company’s previous exploration work from 2017 to 2021
included two rounds of systematic surface brine sampling programs,
ground geophysical surveys and bench scale evaporation testwork.
The Laguna Verde mineralized brines are marked by low magnesium to
lithium ratios, in the range of zero to 10 which can result in
lower production costs.
In 2018, the Company completed a 39.2-line-
kilometers of ground geophysical survey. The survey results
indicate high value brine lithium exploration targets in a salar
core area of 3.4 square kilometers within a 23 square kilometre,
100- to 150-meter-thick sedimentary basin with the potential to
host lithium-brines. Interpretation of gravity survey data show a
major fault system exists to the east of the Laguna Verde Salar and
also indicates the presence of a 2.4-kilometer-thick Cenozoic
basin, which requires further exploration.
In 2018, a bench scale evaporation test of
approximately 4,000 litres of brine sample from the Laguna Verde
License Area was carried out in Ultra Argentina laboratories
located in Salta. The density of the original brine sample was 1156
and its lithium concentration was 391 ppm. Two types of evaporation
tests were conducted. The first test included evaporating 179
litres of brine sample in an external pool located outside to match
natural evaporation conditions. The results indicate that in a
period of five months, the brine volume was reduced from 16 cubic
metres (m3) to 3 m3 and lithium concentration increased from 391 to
6,760 ppm. Major salts produced during this process were Halite,
Felsobanyaite, Silvite, Lithium Sulfate, Potassium, Carnalite,
Kainite and Gypsum. The second test was conducted inside in
controlled conditions. The results indicated that the original
brine volume of 2,326 m3 was reduced to 85.06 m3 and the lithium
concentration increased from 391 to 7,370 ppm (see press release
dated September 24, 2021).
La Maru, Blanca Elena and
GriseldaThe Company did not complete the option payments
for the La Maru, Blanca Elena and Griselda licences. The Company is
re-evaluating the licences and negotiating amended terms with the
vendor. These licences totalling 6 km2 are adjacent to the Laguna
Verde License Area.
