Closing is expected on or about October 31, 2017 and is subject to regulatory approval including that of the TSX Venture Exchange and the securities regulatory authorities.
In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), to purchase up to 1,027,500 additional Units at the Offering Price for market stabilization purposes and to cover over-allotments, exercisable within 30 days of the date of closing. In the event that the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in its entirety, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be C$14,967,250.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company to advance its Sal de Los Angeles lithium project in Salta, Argentina and for general corporate purposes.
