Ultra Lithium

Overview

Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSXV:ULT, OTCQB: ULTXF, Frankfurt: QFB), a Canadian mineral exploration and development mining company, is leveraging a portfolio of diversified lithium deposits to meet an ever-expanding global demand for this critical mineral that will help energize the world’s decarbonization efforts.

For years, lithium-ion batteries have powered mobile technologies like smartphones and laptops, but as the emergence of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to drive demand for this critical metal, lithium supply could face some challenges. To hit net-zero carbon emission goals, it is estimated the world would need 2 billion EVs on the road by 2050, which could lead to a global lithium shortage starting as soon as 2025.

Clean energy technologies currently represent roughly 30 percent of lithium demand, but that share is expected to hit 90 percent by 2040

Ultra Lithium is aggressively pursuing its lithium projects in Canada and the US, each at various stages of exploration.

The company’s Canadian assets include Georgia Lake and Forgan Lake, both of which have lithium pegmatite deposits. Developing partnerships with and gaining support from local First Nations communities are important aspects of Ultra Lithium’s core values. In September 2022, the company signed an exploration agreement with the Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek (BZA) community for continuing exploration and future development of the Forgan Lake property with the support of the BZA community.

Ultra Lithium’s Argentina lithium brine project, Laguna Verde, covers over 7,569 hectares and is within the world-renowned Lithium Triangle, known for producing more than 50 percent of the world’s lithium. Its rich lithium brine deposits make it suitable for direct lithium extraction (DLE), an emerging extraction technology. DLE is a more sustainable, economical and time-sensitive method of extracting high-purity lithium compared to conventional methods.

On May 17, 2023, Ultra Lithium signed a binding term sheet to sell the Laguna Verde lithium-brine projects in the Catamarca Province for up to 50 million shares in Power Minerals. Ultra Lithium’s previous agreement with Zangge Mining expired and the company looks forward to advancing its Argentina assets with Power Minerals..

Ultra Lithium is led by a team of managers and directors with diverse backgrounds throughout the natural resources industry. Expertise includes building strategic partnerships, corporate financing, mineral exploration and project development. The leadership team has the right experience to bring Ultra Lithium’s assets into production.

Key Projects

Canada Lithium Pegmatite Projects

Ultra Lithium’s Canadian projects include Georgia Lake and Forgan Lake, both of which contain lithium pegmatite deposits. The Georgia Lake project consists of 100 percent ownership of 75 mining claims throughout the Thunder Bay Mining Division in Northwestern Ontario. Its recently acquired Forgan Lake asset comprises 18 cell claims and two boundary claims, totaling 256 hectares.

Project Highlights:

Excellent Existing Infrastructure: Ultra Lithium’s Canadian assets are near highways, deep water ports and existing electrical power. Additionally, the area has mining contractors and trained personnel available.Exploration Completed with Promising Results: A grab sampling of eight pegmatites within Georgia Lake showed that ten of 21 samples included more than 1 percent lithium oxide, with five samples containing more than 2 percent lithium oxide. Samples also included other rare metals, including:Tantalum 4 to 202 ppmNiobium 12 to 101 ppmBeryllium 55 to 286 ppmRubidium 161 to 1240 ppmDrill Program Completed: Completed approximately 7,000 meters of drilling in Q3 2022, across Georgia Lake and Forgan Lake, with many intersects showing visible spodumene. Soil sampling to identify additional pegmatites has commenced, and samples for metallurgical test work have been collected. The company is currently compiling data and information to prepare an NI 43-101 report and resource estimates upon receipt of assay results and other planned work.

United States lithium brine project

Ultra Lithium’s 100-percent-owned South Big Smoky Valley project in Nevada, USA, contains 659 placer claims covering 13,000 acres. The asset is located near the only lithium producer in North America and 310 kilometers away from Tesla’s Gigafactory.

Project Highlights:

Completed CSAMT Exploration: Ultra Lithium has completed Controlled Source Audio-Frequency Magneto-telluric (CSAMT) survey work on the property, covering 53.8 kilometers.Additional Exploration Underway: The company is currently completing geophysical survey interpretation to establish future drill targets.
