VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSXV: ULT, OTC: ULTXF and Frankfurt: QFB) (“Ultra Lithium” or the “Company”) today announced that Mr. Juan Orozco, General Manager of Argentinian subsidiary Ultra Argentina S.R.L. has signed an agreement purportedly between Ultra Argentina S.R.L. and Alto Grande Cobre S.A. to sell the Laguna Verde project to Alto Grande Cobre S.A. (the “Purported Agreement”). This unauthorized action was taken without notice to the Company and without any legal authorization or validity.
The terms of the Purported Agreement are:
- Payment of US $300,000 for 97% of Laguna Verde (paid)
- Option to purchase 3% of Laguna Verde for US $3 million for 36 months from the date of signing the Purported Agreement
The Company rejects the Purported Agreement and the purchase and sale transaction contemplated thereby (the “Illegal Transaction”), which is null and void.
Mr. Juan Orozco had no authority to enter into any transaction to dispose of the Laguna Verde Project. By participating in the Illegal Transaction, Mr. Orozco has engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the shareholders of Ultra Argentina SRL and its parent company, Ultra Lithium Inc., for his own benefit and that of associated parties.
The Company has retained reputable Argentine and Canadian counsel who are initiating both civil and criminal proceedings against all individuals and entities involved in the Illegal Transaction. The Company is committed to taking all necessary steps to protect its ownership of the Laguna Verde project.
