CALGARY, ALBERTA – TheNewswire - August 7, 2024 – Lithium Chile Inc. (“Lithium Chile” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture Exchange: LITH / OTC-QB: LTMCF) is pleased to provide an update on the proposed “spin-out transactions” involving two newly formed subsidiaries: Lithium Chile 2.0 Inc. and Kairos Gold Inc.  It is intended that Lithium Chile will continue to hold its advanced Salar de Arizaro lithium project while the remaining lithium salar properties will be transferred to Lithium Chile 2.0 Inc. and the properties that are prospective for gold, copper and silver will be transferred to Kairos Gold Inc.  The shares of both Lithium Chile 2.0 Inc. and Kairos Gold Inc. are intended to be “spun-out” to the Company’s shareholders after a special meeting of shareholders to approve the proposed transaction.  Materials enabling shareholders to make an informed decision on the merits of the “spin-out transactions” have been filed with the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) with first comments having been received on July 31, 2024.

The time required to complete NI 43-101 compliant technical reports together with independent valuations of the Company’s properties - amongst numerous other documents and the need to obtain Exchange approval - has required that the Company delay the special meeting of shareholders until October 7, 2024.  

Lithium Chile has applied to list the common shares of Kairos Gold Inc. on the Exchange with that “spin-out transaction” occurring immediately after the October 7, 2024 special shareholder meeting.

Completion of the transaction involving the “spin-out” of Lithium Chile 2.0 Inc. remains subject to the Company having successfully concluded the strategic process involving its Arizaro property.  Negotiations in that respect are continuing and have been aided by the completion of the prefeasibility study (“PFS”) announced by the Company on July 23, 2024, which confirmed the robust economics of the Arizaro project.
