TORONTO, July 02, 2024 - Green Shift Commodities Ltd. (TSXV: GCOM), ("Green Shift" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced sale (the "Transaction") to Lion Critical Elements Corp. ("Lion") all of the outstanding shares of LFP Resources Corp. ("Subco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which owns, among other things, 10,000 hectares of prospective lithium ground in Rio Negro, Chubut, and Neuquén Provinces in Argentina and 25% of Pampa Litio S.A. Lion is an arm's length, privately-held company that has a portfolio of lithium projects in Southern Zambia and uranium assets in Niger.
Pursuant to the Transaction, Lion acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Subco in exchange for considerations comprised of 1,460,000 common shares of Lion ("Lion Shares") at a deemed price of US$0.75 per share and 500,000 warrants, each exercisable to acquire one Lion Share at an exercise price of US$1.00 per share for a period of three years following closing of the Transaction.
Trumbull Fisher CEO commented "We are thrilled to close this transaction with Lion and are excited to see their team move these assets ahead. We believe Lion was a great fit for these assets not only because of the experienced team they have but also how well these assets compliment the Lion portfolio. While we still maintain exposure to the upside of these assets though our Lion share holdings we will not be subject to the funding requirements for exploration these assets will require."
