Lithium Corporation Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement
RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lithium Corporation (OTCBB: LTUM) (the "Company", or "Lithco") is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent with Altura Mining Limited (AJM - ASX) of Brisbane Australia, whereby Altura will provide $550,000 of financing to the Company in a non-brokered private placement.
The terms of the arrangement are that Lithco is to issue Altura 11,000,000 units of Lithium Corporation common stock at a price of $0.05. Each unit comprises one common share and a warrant to purchase a further common share at a price of $0.10 per share until the first anniversary of the closing of the financing, or $0.15 per share if exercised during the period between the first and second anniversaries. The securities issued and sold in the private placement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration, or an applicable exemption from registration, under the Act.
Altura Mining Limited is a diversified junior mining company run by seasoned mining professionals. Altura is currently developing its Tabalong coal deposit in Indonesia, which is projected to begin production in late 2012, and its Mt Webber Iron Ore deposit joint venture, which is scheduled to begin production in 2013.
Amongst other mineral assets, Altura owns the world-class Pilgangoora lithium project in Western Australia, where they recently announced they have defined a JORC (Australian Joint Ore Reserves Committee) compliant inferred resource of 25.2 million tonnes of Spodumene bearing Pegmatite which grades 1.23% Li20, for a contained resource of 310,000 tonnes of lithium oxide.
Lithium Corporation's president Tom Lewis commented, "I am extremely pleased that Altura Mining has decided to invest in Lithium Corporation. They are a strong development and production company that shares Lithco's goals and outlook. I look forward to any and all future collaboration with Altura."
Lithium Corporation is actively exploring two lithium brine prospects in Nevada, and anticipates further drilling at it San Emidio prospect later this month. The Company is also hopeful that its Fish Lake Valley prospect will dry sufficiently shortly so that the Company can get a lightweight drilling machine on the playa, and conduct the long-anticipated drill program there. Additionally Lithco has been evaluating other lithium prospects, while working to generate more.
