Li3 Lithium Completes $170,000 Private Placement
Toronto, Canada, November 23, 202 3 – Li3 Lithium Corp. (TSXV LILI ) ( “Li3 Lithium ” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the non- brokered private placement previously
announced on October 10, 2023 (the “Private Placement”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $170,000. The
Private Placement involved the issuance of 3, 400,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0. 05 per Unit. Each
Unit consists of one (1) common share in the capital stock of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one
(1) warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share for $0. 10 at any time
within eighteen (18) months after closing, as long as the holder, would in the aggregate beneficially own,
or exercise control or direction over that number of voting securities of the Corporation which is less than
ten percent (10%) of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of the Corporation, immediately after
giving effect to such exercise.
All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period of four months plus
a day from the date of issuance and the resale rules of applicable securities legislation . The net proceeds
from the sale of the Units will be used for general working capital purposes and to assist in conducting due
diligence related to identifying and evaluating hard rock spodumene assets for potential acquisition in
Zimbabwe and the Americas. The closing of the Private Placement is subject to certain conditions
including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).
Insiders of the Company acquired directly and indirectly a total of $30,000 worth of Units or 600,000 Units
in the Private Placement on the same basis as other participants. The direct and indirect participation in the
Private Placement by an insider of the Company constitutes a “related party transaction” as such term is
defined under Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation (section
5.5(b)) and minority approval requirements (section 5.7(1)(b)) under MI 61-101.
Mutare Lithium Project, Zimbabwe
The Mutare Lithium Project is located in eastern Zimbabwe’s Mutare Greenstone Belt, an emerging lithium
district. The Company is evaluating the acquisition of additional prospective ground, either through staking
or agreements with potential vendors. The area was deemed prospective for lithium -cesium-tantalum
pegmatites based on prior target generation work. Management believes the lithium exploration potential
of the MGB is analogous to that of the Pilbara Craton pegmatites in Western Australia.
Zimbabwe, which is estimated to hold Africa’s largest lithium resources and the fifth largest globally, is
rapidly emerging as an important player within the lithium supply chain. Over the past year and a half ,
major Chinese battery metals companies have committed approximately US$1.4 billion to acquire and
develop lithium projects in Zimbabwe.
About Li3 Lithium Corp.
Li3 Lithium is focused on acquiring and developing hard rock spodumene lithium assets in Zimbabwe and
Argentina, where the founders have significant experience and relationships. As evidenced by recent
market growth, hard rock lithium deposits are forecast to continue to dominate the global supply of lithium
given the scarcity, complexity and capex-intensive nature of alternative brine sources.
