Alpha Lithium Announces Closing of $5.75 Million Bought Deal
September 02 2020 - 12:28PM
Alpha Lithium Corporation (TSXV: ALLI) (OTC:
ALLIF) ("Alpha" or the "Company") owners of one of
Argentina’s last undeveloped large lithium salars is pleased to
announce that it has closed a bought deal financing resulting in
$5.75 million in proceeds. The undertaking consisted of a $5
million financing with a $750,000, 30-day, over-allotment option
which the Underwriter immediately exercised to fulfil demand.
Founded just under six months ago, the Company
is now in the enviable position of having a cash balance of over
$10.0 million on hand to execute its strategic plan.
The efforts consisted of a previously announced
short form prospectus offering, on a bought deal basis, including
the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the
form of Units of the Company (each, a “Unit”). A total of 8,846,156
Units of the Company at a price per Unit of $0.65 were purchased
for aggregate gross proceeds of $5.75 million (the "Offering"). The
Offering was conducted by Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the
"Underwriter").
Each Unit is comprised of one common share of
the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase
warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one Common Share for a period of 24 months following the
closing of the Offering (the "Closing") at an exercise price of
$0.80.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to
fund mineral exploration expenditures on the Company’s Tolillar
Lithium Project in Argentina as well as general working capital
purposes.
Company CEO, Brad Nichol states, “The successful
conclusion of this financial injection is both validation and
motivation regarding our efforts in Argentina. Our recent news
release of July 16 announcing the very positive results at the
northern portion of our Tolillar Salar property provided the
stimulus which led to the announcement on August 5 of our plans to
expand our exploration efforts to the south which was quickly
followed by our August 26 news regarding the commencement of an
extended geophysics program.”
“With our local team providing an exceptional
degree of commitment to safety in the face of unprecedented health
considerations, the excitement to move ahead is unmistakable,”
continues Mr. Nichol. “The ongoing road and field camp construction
concurrent to the exploratory efforts is driven by a positivity
with each successive report from the field. We don’t have to look
any farther than the nearby productive Hombre Muerto Salar to
recognize what a large area successful outcome looks like and so
far, we are encouraged by the results to-date. The success of this
financing will help propel our efforts in Argentina, which
ultimately aids our commitment towards building continued
shareholder value.”
Regarding summary details of the financing, in
consideration of their services the Company paid the Underwriter a
cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering,
and issued the Underwriter options to acquire up to 619,230 common
shares of the Company at a price of $0.65 for a period of 24 months
from Closing.

will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United
