Highlights
-
Execution of binding agreement to acquire 12 mineral claims located in the prolific James Bay region of Québec, Canada.
-
New claims located immediately adjacent the Company’s existing Llama Lithium Project.
-
Latest acquisitions from Canadian Mining House will increase total ground coverage to 75km[2 ] for the Llama Lithium Project.
Intra Energy Corporation Limited ( ASX:IEC ) ( “ IEC ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% ownership of 12 mineral claims ( New Claims ”) covering 12km[2] located immediately adjacent to and surrounding the Company’s existing Llama Lithium Project (“ Llama ” or the “ Project ”) within the James Bay region of Québec, Canada which is rapidly establishing itself as a hard rock lithium exploration ‘hot spot’.
The New Claims have been acquired from Canadian Mining House (“ CMH” ) following a recommendation from Dahrouge Geological Services (“ DGS ”) IEC’s geological services partner to acquire them.
While limited historical exploration has been conducted on the tenement area comprising the New Claims and to the knowledge of the Company, no lithium exploration has historically occurred on the property. IEC refers investors to its announcement of 8 August 2023 for further description of the potential prospectivity of the region.
The consideration for the acquisition comprises:
-
a cash payment of C$120,000; and
-
the issue of 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in IEC (“ Consideration Shares” ).

The Consideration Shares will be issued utilising the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity and will be subject to voluntary escrow for a period up to and including 30 March 2024. Full details of the acquisition terms are contained in the attached appendix.
IEC Managing Director, Benjamin Dunn, commented:
“The acquisition of these claims are a strategic addition for IEC and bolster our exploration plans and ground position in the James Bay Region of Canada. The proximity of the new claims to our existing land package and the potential continuation of the geology was too exciting an opportunity for us to pass up and we think as we investigate these opportunities further they will help drive shareholder interest and value.”
