About Wealth Minerals Ltd.
Wealth is a mineral resource company with interests in Canada, Mexico, Peru and Chile. The Company's main focus is the acquisition
of lithium projects in South America. To date, the Company has positioned itself to develop the Aguas Calientes Norte and
Quisquiro Salars in Chile (the Trinity Project), as well as to work alongside existing producers
in the prolific Atacama Salar, in addition to the Laguna Verde lithium project acquisition. The Company has also positioned
itself to play a role in asset consolidation in Chile with the Five Salars Project.
The Company is transitioning from an asset acquisition phase to developing its current high potential portfolio. Lithium
market dynamics and a rapidly increasing metal price are the result of profound structural issues with the industry meeting
anticipated future demand. Wealth is positioning itself to be a major beneficiary of this future mismatch of supply and
demand. The Company also maintains and continues to evaluate a portfolio of precious and base metal exploration-stage
projects.
