CALGARY, ALBERTA – TheNewswire - January 24, 2022 – Lithium Chile Inc. (“Lithium Chile” or the “Company”) (TSXV:LITH) (OTC:LTMCF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its subscription books, and due to strong investor demand for its recently announced non-brokered private placement of units of the Company (“Units”) at a price of $0.70 per Unit, it has additionally increased the maximum size of the offering from up to 7,500,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,250,000 to up to 10,060,000 Units for gross proceeds of up to $7,042,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit will be comprised of one (1) common share of the Company (“Common Share”) and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant shall be exercisable at $0.85 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the Offering. Further to the Company's news release of December 20, 2021, the one institutional investor that was expected to purchase the Offering was unable to complete its subscription within the deadlines set by Lithium Chile so the Company has terminated that potential subscription. The Offering is now expected to be purchased by several subscribers including a strategic Asian investor that is anticipated to purchase up to $3,000,000 of the Offering.

Completion of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares and Warrants issued under the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of the closing of the Offering.
