VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 27, 2018 / Voltaic Minerals Corp. (TSXV: VLT) (OTC PINK: VTCCF) (FSE:
2P61) ("Voltaic" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding
assignment agreement (the "Agreement") dated December 20, 2018 among the Company, 1146915 B.C. Ltd
("PrivCo") and the underlying claim owners (the "Vendors") in respect of two mineral claims
covering a total 6,778.02 Hectares in Salta Province, Argentina (the "Claims").
Pursuant to an agreement dated December 2, 2018 among PrivCo and the Vendors (the "Underlying
Agreement"), PrivCo became entitled to acquire a total of six mineral claims (including the Claims) from the
Vendors.
Pursuant to the Agreement, PrivCo has assigned its rights in and to the Claims under the Agreement to Voltaic in consideration
of CAD$500,000. All consideration payable to the Vendors pursuant to the Underlying Agreement remains the obligation of PrivCo, and
in addition PrivCo has granted Voltaic a General Security Agreement over all the present and after acquired assets of PrivCo as
security for the performance of PrivCo of its obligations under the Underlying Agreement.
The claims are in the heart of the world's lithium brine hotbed and less than 15km from the Hombre Muerto Salar, the premier
lithium brine basin in Argentina – high grade, low impurities (Li:Mg <4) – that has been in production for over 20 years.
Voltaic CEO Darryl Jones commented, "It is an exciting time for the Company, as we embark on a very exciting new direction,
adding the claims in Argentina alongside our cobalt property in Montana we are positioned exceptionally well in the battery metals
market. We see this acquisition as a small first step in Argentina and are looking forward to being more active in the region in
the future."
