Ultra Lithium Starts Evaporation Testwork at Laguna Verde Brine Lithium Project in Argentina


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSX-V:ULI) ("ULI" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has started bench scale evaporation testwork on brine samples from Salar Laguna Verde in Argentina.

A four cubic metre (4,000 litres) brine sample taken from Laguna Verde discovery zone was shipped to the Company's portable laboratory which is currently set up in Salta, Argentina. The sample will be evaporation tested to evaluate the process design for producing various lithium salts in controlled temperature, wind, humidity and pressure conditions. ULI will also perform Lithium recovery analysis as  part of this testwork.

Assay results from most recent sampling work at Laguna Verde indicated lithium values in the range of 34.2 parts per million (ppm) to 1270 ppm with average lithium concentration of 526 ppm (see Company's press release dated February 21, 2018).  

Dr. Weiguo Lang, CEO of Ultra Lithium, stated that, "Exploration work at Ultra Lithium's brine projects in Argentina is progressing well thanks to the hard work of the field crew especially in harsh winter weather conditions. Evaporation testwork is a big milestone towards developing a scoping study for potential production of lithium salts and concentrate. We are looking forward to results of this work in about three months' time."

The evaporation testwork is contracted to Mr. Horacio Garkus of Servicios Mineros, Salta Argentina. Mr. Garkus is a consulting geologist with expertise in brine type lithium exploration and development in Argentina.
