Imagine Lithium Announces a Private Placement to
Raise $9.1 Million
Vancouver, BC, Canada , April 6, 2023 – IMAGINE LITHIUM INC. (TSX-V: ILI)
(OTCQB: ARXRF) (the “Company” or “Imagine”) is pleased to announce a non-
brokered private placement of 48.82 million flow-through shares (the “FT Shares”) at
a price of $0. 1725 per share for gross proceeds of $8,421,450. This represents a
premium of 73% over the previous closing price of the Company’s common shares
on the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, the Company will complete a private
placement of 6.18 million non-flow-through common shares (the “Common Shares”)
at a price of $0.115 per common share for gross proceeds of $710,700 . Total gross
proceeds from the private placements will be $9,132,150.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used for general exploration
expenditures on the Jackpot Lithium Project located approximately 140 km north-east
of Thunder Bay, Ontario (see Figure 1). An exploration program on the property will
incorporate expansion drilling at the Jackpot Main Zone , exploration drilling on
additional targets beyond the Main Zone , as well as a prospecting and sampling
program to cover the entire Jackpot property package.
The FT Shares will qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection
66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada , the “Tax Act”) and expenditures will qualify
as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditure" (as defined in subsection 127(9)
of Tax Act).
J.C. St -Amour, President and CEO of Imagine, commented, “This financing
illustrates investor confidence in our Jackpot Lithium Project. Our project's proximity
to infrastructure and general accessibility makes this project a stand-out from many
lithium assets in Canada. The funds raised in this financing will allow us to expand
and accelerate our exploration activities with additional drilling, sampling, and
prospecting planned over the next two years. The Jackpot Main Zone remains ope n
with significant expansion potential and a number of drill-ready lithium showings have
been identified. In addition, the broader property package contains numerous granitic
pegmatites that will also be tested in this program. An exploration program of th is
size can truly unveil the potential at Jackpot.”
Gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares will be used for general corporate
purposes. The private placements are expected to close on or about April 26, 2023.

About Imagine Lithium Inc.
Imagine is a junior mining exploration company focused on seeking and acquiring
world-class mineral projects. The company holds the Jackpot lithium property located
in the Georgia Lake Area about 140 km NNE of Thunder Bay, Ontario, is approximately
12 km by air from the TransCanada Highway (Hwy 11) and the main railroad which
connects to the port town of Nipigon, on Lake Superior. The property contains known
lithium bearing granitic pegmatite dikes, of which two provided estimated historical
resources of 2 million tons at 1.09% Li2O and 750,000 tons at 1.38% Li2O*.
* The estimates presented above are treated as historical information and have not been verified or relied
upon for economic evaluation by the Company. These historical mineral resources do not refer to any
category of sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI-43-101 such as mineral resources or mineral reserves as stated in the
2010 CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The explanation lies in the
inability by the Company to verify the data acquired by the various historical drilling campaigns. The
Company has not done sufficient work yet to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources
or mineral reserves.
