Volos Enters into an Option Agreement with Lithium Chile for Their Copper Gold Silver, Las Garillas Property

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 18, 2022) - Volos Mineral Inc. ("Volos" or the "Company") a privately-held mining exploration Company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") with Lithium Chile Inc. (TSXV: LITH) (OTC: LTMCF), whereby Volos may earn a 51% in the Las Garillas property located in north-central Chile. The Las Garillas property consists of nine exploration concessions totaling 1,900 hectares.

The Las Garillas property covers several large zones of phyllic to silicic hydrothermal alteration and gold-silver bearing epithermal vein systems that encompass an old high-grade, pre-Columbian, gold-silver mining camp. Regionally, it lies on the eastern flank of the central Cretaceous - Palaeocene Porphyry Copper-Gold Belt in a similar, geological - structural setting as the Andacolla gold mine operated by Teck Resources. The Las Garillas property is readily accessible year-round from the town of Monte Patria, twelve kilometres to the southwest, via paved and gravel roads, heading northeast to several old mines in the interior of the Property.

Recent surface chip sampling by Lithium Chile along vein extensions within the Las Garillas claims of an adjacent property, currently producing high grade, gold-silver vein systems, returned values of up to 21.4 g/t gold, 329 g/t silver and 1.8% copper.

To earn 51% in Las Garillas, within two years of signing the Agreement, Volos must incur a minimum of $250,000 in exploration expenditures and make cash payments to Lithium Chile of $100,000. In addition, Volos must issue Lithium Chile Inc. a number of common shares representing 9.9% ownership in Volos (the "Payment Shares") immediately following the listing of Volos shares on a Canadian stock exchange (the "Listing") and a further 9.9% on the first anniversary of the Listing.

Alain Lambert, Co-Founder and a Director of Volos Minerals, remarked, "We look forward to taking Volos Minerals public before the end of this year. Having Lithium Chile as a significant shareholder demonstrates their commitment to the long-term success of the Las Garillas project and Volos' plan to be active in mining exploration in Chile."

Steve Cochrane, President and CEO of Lithium Chile, commented, "I am pleased to have entered into this option agreement on our Las Garillas property with Volos, as part of our stated objective of advancing our non-lithium assets in Chile through these types of joint ventures. Preliminary exploration on Las Garillas points to an exciting gold silver copper cobalt prospect."
