We are excited about upcoming drilling activities at the Li-Brine Properties."
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, EMP Metals acquired the remaining 33% of the shares of Hub City from the minority shareholders of Hub City and, in consideration of which, EMP Metals transferred all of the shares of Hub City Royalty to the minority shareholders of Hub City.
