SPP closing Monday to afford eligible shareholders final opportunity to participate

Core Lithium Ltd (ASX:CXO) has received strong support above the originally targeted $2 million for its share purchase plan (SPP) to eligible shareholders.

Accordingly, the issue of new share under the SPP timetable will change from Wednesday June 26 2019 to Thursday June 27 2019.

Core managing director Stephen Biggins said: “We are very pleased with the strong support from shareholders in the SPP as recognition of the value to come from the recently announced non-dilutive finance from the $8.1 million royalty investment by LRC, as Core moves forward towards the Final Investment Decision for the Finniss Lithium project and focus on increasing its mineral resource base.”

The non-dilutive finance received from the sale of the royalty, alongside the proceeds from the SPP, will be used to progress the Finniss Project towards development and near-term resource exploration, growth and conversion drilling focused on further improving the production profile and extending the life of Finniss.
