Nevada Lithium Resources Inc. (CSE: NVLH; OTCQB: NVLHF; FSE: 87K)
(“
Nevada Lithium” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
completed a non-brokered private placement consisting of the
issuance of a total of 48,000,007 units (each, a
“
Unit”) at a price of $0.125 per Unit, raising
aggregate gross proceeds of $6,000,000.88 (the
“
Offering”). Each Unit consists of one common
share of the Company (each, a “
Share”) and one
common share purchase warrant (each, a “
Warrant”),
with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at a
price of $0.175 per Share for a period of three (3) years from the
closing of the Offering (the “
Closing”). The net
proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance the Company’s
100% owned Bonnie Claire Lithium project (the
“
Project”), located in Nye County, Nevada, towards
an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“
PEA”)
and Pre-Feasibility Study (“
PFS”) on the Project,
and for general corporate purposes.
Stephen Rentschler,
CEO of Nevada Lithium stated, “We are grateful for the continued
support of our strategic shareholders. This support has forcefully
driven the positive progress at Bonnie Claire, as illustrated only
a few months ago by the identification of our high-grade Lithium
Boron mineralized zone. We are confident that further work on the
Project, which this continued support directly allows, will add
shareholder value. Bonnie Claire is already one of the largest
lithium resources in North America, and we think that this deposit
has yet to reveal its best to us. Located in the premier mining
jurisdiction of Nevada, we believe that Bonnie Claire is one of the
most attractive undeveloped lithium assets in the world.”
The Company paid certain finders a cash finder
fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds realized by the Company in
respect of the sale of Units in the Offering (the “Finder
Fee”) and finder warrants equal in number to 8% of the
total number of Units sold (the “Finder
Warrants”). Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to acquire one Unit at an exercise price of $0.125 for a
period of three years from the Closing. PowerOne Capital Markets
Limited acted as a finder in connection with a portion of the
Offering.
All securities issued with respect to the
Offering will are subject to a hold period of four months and one
day in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Certain directors, officers, and insiders of the
Company subscribed for Units pursuant to the Offering. Their
participation in the Offering constitutes a “related party
transaction” for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 –
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
(“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on
exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements available under MI 61-101. Pursuant to
sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company is exempt
from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the
Company’s shareholders as the fair market value of the
participation by these interested parties in the Offering is below
25% of the Company’s market capitalization as determined in
accordance with MI 61-101.
Pursuant to MI 61-101, the Company will file a
material change report providing disclosure in relation to each
“related party transaction” on SEDAR+ under the Company’s issuer
profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The Company did not file the material
change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of
the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participation
therein by each “related party” of the Company were not settled
until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering, and the Company
wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis for sound
business reasons.
Upon completion of the Offering, for the period
ending 24 months from the Closing, the Company has agreed with a
third party to designate one nominee to serve as a director on the
board of directors of the Company.
