LITHIUM CHILE PROVIDES UPDATE ON SALE OF ARIZARO PROJECT
Lithium Chile Inc., with reference to its prior news releases dated Dec. 19, 2024, Jan. 15, 2025, and Feb. 20, 2025, has provided an update on the sale of its flagship
Arizaro project, Argentina.
The due diligence was completed at the end of February with the first draft of the definitive agreement presented to Lithium Chile on March 3, 2025. Both parties have worked collaboratively to address questions arising from the due diligence process, revising the definitive agreement accordingly. The meetings to date have been pro-active and collaborative with both parties anxious to have the definitive agreement signed as soon as practicable.
The company recently held a highly productive in-person meeting with key representatives, including the buyer's senior executives and legal advisers. These meetings have significantly accelerated progress toward finalizing the definitive agreement, with both parties reaffirming their commitment to complete the transaction.
The buyer has requested to finalize and execute the definitive agreement, following its coming visit to Salta, Argentina. Execution of the definitive agreement will trigger key milestones, including:
-
A proposed U.S.-dollar bank deposit from the buyer to the account of the company;
-
Commencement of local regulatory approval processes.
The buyer's planned visit to Salta will be led by a senior management delegation, including members of the board of directors and legal counsel, representatives from the company's accountants and investment banking advisers, and local regulatory officials. The visit will include meetings with the local Argentine provincial authorities such as REMSA and the Ministry of Mining, underscoring the buyer's long-term commitment to investing in the region and building a world-class lithium production operation.
"We are encouraged by the strong alignment and momentum between both parties," said Steve Cochrane, president and chief executive officer. "This transaction is a transformational opportunity for Lithium Chile and for the Province of Salta, and we are working diligently to finalize the definitive agreement and move toward closing."
The company will provide further updates as milestones are achieved and material developments occur.
