VANCOUVER, British Columbia, January 28, 2022 — Alpha Lithium Corporation (TSX.V: ALLI) (OTC: APHLF) (Germany WKN: A3CUW1) (“Alpha” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide an update on the closing of its previously announced asset transaction with chemical processing conglomerate, Uranium One Group (“Uranium One”) (see press release dated November 29, 2021).
Further to announcing the execution of binding agreements, Uranium One’s wholly owned subsidiary, Uranium One Cooperatif U.A. (“U1”), has exercised its right under the definitive Transaction agreement to extend the closing deadline for the first US$30 million investment to accommodate administrative delays resulting from regulatory office closures caused by the COVID 19 pandemic and an extended holiday season in Argentina. The Company and U1 expect to complete the Transaction in the coming weeks, and the Company will provide regular updates, if and as available.
Brad Nichol, Alpha’s President and CEO commented, “Uranium One has agreed to earn 15% in one of our assets for a $US30 million investment, which values the asset alone at US$200 million, or approximately CDN$250 million. The Company also has cash of over $45 million and ownership of a significant land package in nearby Hombre Muerto, one of the world’s longest producing and highest quality lithium brine salars.” Nichol added, “We look forward to working with the highly professional team from Uranium One in Tolillar, and to focusing more of our efforts on developing Hombre Muerto in the future, just as we have done in Tolillar.”
