CALGARY, ALBERTA – TheNewswire - February 15, 2024 – Lithium Chile Inc. (TSXV:LITH) (OTC:LTMCF) (“Lithium Chile” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a corporate update following its September 25, 2023, press release announcing the appointment of PI Financial Corp.  (“PI Financial”) as its corporate advisor to assist in evaluating various options on behalf of the Board of the Company and its shareholders (the “Process”).

At this stage of the Process, Lithium Chile is encouraged by the level of interest shown from third parties and looks forward to ongoing engagement with these parties in connection with a possible transaction relating to the Company’s Salar de Arizaro assets in Argentina and its Chilean asset portfolio.

Lithium Chile is also investigating the potential of a restructuring initiative involving the separation of the Company’s Argentinian and Chilean assets into separate independent companies. The Company believes that its current share price does not fully recognize the value of the Chilean assets and that by separating the Chilean asset portfolio from the assets in Argentina by way of a “spin-out”, the Company and its shareholders may benefit from unlocking the value of the Chilean projects.  Additionally, a spin-out should allow for a more straightforward transaction for third parties that are particularly interested in a transaction involving the Salar de Arizaro assets in Argentina.

Lithium Chile looks forward to providing additional updates and comprehensive details concerning the Process in the coming months.
