Due to strong investor demand, Lithium Africa (TSXV:LAF) has upsized its previously announced private placement from C$5 million to C$8.5 million.
The lead C$3.3 million order will be filled by the Purpose Global Resource Fund, a small-cap and mid-cap fund focused on resource companies across the energy and mining sectors with C$168.5 million in assets under management.
Lithium Africa will allocate a portion of the proceeds towards the acquisition of the Springbok project, an advanced lithium asset in South Africa hosting a past-producing mine, mineral stockpile for near-term cash flow, as well as numerous known pegmatites across a 1,675-square-kilometre land package.
The company will issue 4.25 million units priced at C$2, with each unit consisting of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, and each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share for C$2.80 for three years following the closing of the offering.
ATB Cormark Capital Markets, the agent overseeing the offering, will have the option to sell an additional 750,000 units for C$1.5 million up to 48 hours after closing.
The offering is expected to close on or about March 18, 2026.
