Imagine Lithium Closes a Private Placement to
Raise $9.1 Million
Vancouver, BC, Canada, April 28, 2023 – IMAGINE LITHIUM INC. (TSX-V: ILI)
(OTCQB: ARXRF) (the “Company” or “Imagine”) is pleased to announce that,
further to its news release dated April 6, 2023, it has closed 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 92%
premium over the previous closing price of the Company’s common shares on the
TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, the Company has closed 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 further exploration
drilling and 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 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 the Jackpot Lithium Project. The project’s proximity
to infrastructure and accessibility makes it 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 open 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 th at
will also be tested in this program. An exploration program of this size can truly unveil
the potential of Jackpot.”
Gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares will be used for general corporate
purposes.

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 road from the TransCanada Highway (Hwy 11) , and is in proximity to
sources of power, railroads, and ports. 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 Mi neral 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.
