LSC Lithium Announces Private Placement & Operational Changes

28.07.2017  |  CNW

All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

TORONTO, July 28, 2017 /CNW/ - LSC Lithium Corp. ("LSC" or together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") (TSXV:LSC) is pleased to announce that it has engaged GMP Securities L.P. ("GMP") to act as broker with respect to a proposed "commercially reasonable best efforts" private placement of up to CAD $20 million of common shares (the "Offering"). Pricing for the Offering will be determined in the context of the market.

LSC is undertaking the Offering in order to fund an accelerated and expanded exploration program on its portfolio of high-quality lithium brine projects in Northern Argentina and to increase the cash position of LSC following the payment of the aggregate principal amount of $14,275,816 (plus all accrued interest thereon) by LSC to its secured lenders who did not exercise their conversion rights in connection with the LitheA Inc. acquisition announced in the Company's June 30, 2017 press release.

The funds raised in the Offering will allow LSC to further pursue the promising exploration results to date by the implementation of an accelerated and expanded exploration program for 2017. LSC has currently initiated a major exploration program on its Salar de Pozuelos property ("Pozuelos"), following up on the success of its initial exploration (see LSC press release dated April 10, 2017).

As announced on July 25th, the current program incorporates 15 holes to test all depths of Pozuelos and collect brine and Relative Brine Release Capacity (RBRC) samples. Drilling for the current program commenced the week of July 14th in the south end of Pozuelos and the Company awaits assays and other test results. LSC is encouraged by the drilling results to date, which indicate the potential for high porosity formations.

A drilling program on LSC's tenements on nearby Salar Pastos Grandes is scheduled to start as soon as permits are received, which are expected by the beginning of August. This program will complement the work on Pozuelos. Other exploration programs are scheduled to start in early August on LSC's projects at Salar Rio Grande and Salar Jama. In addition, LSC anticipates receiving permits to undertake initial exploration work on its Salar Salinas Grandes tenements in Salta Province in late Q3/17.

GMP will be paid a broker's fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and receive broker's warrants equal to 6% of the number of common shares sold pursuant to the Offering in compensation for acting as the broker in connection with the Offering.

The common shares sold pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a 4 month hold period under applicable securities laws.

Operational Changes

To better organise LSC activities to focus on exploration, the delivery of resource reports in conformance with NI 43-101 standards, and to proceed to a feasibility stage at Pozuelos, Pastos Grandes, Rio Grande, Jama and Salinas Grandes LSC is relocating to its own independent premises in Salta, Argentina and intends to staff up to a work force of approximately 28 persons in order to simultaneously carry out exploration in multiple areas.

The physical separation is intended to not only focus LSC's activities on its exploration objectives but to free up Enirgi Group Corporation and its subsidiary, ADY Resources Limited, Sucursal Argentina, to advance its demonstration lithium carbonate processing plant at Salar del Rincón to a productive level of output while at the same time focus on financing and building its full scale production facility.
