ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Liontown completes sale of Bynoe Project
Proceeds ensure that Liontown is well-funded to progress upcoming exploration programs at its key lithium and vanadium projects in Australia
Liontown Resources Limited (ASX: LTR) (“Liontown” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the previously announced sale of the Bynoe Lithium Project in the Northern Territory to Core Exploration Limited (ASX: CXO) (“Core”) for $1.5 million in cash and 39,232,025 shares in Core (representing approximately 8.2% of Core’s current issued capital).
The divestment enables Liontown to advance its portfolio of high-quality lithium and vanadium projects in Australia including the recently acquired Buldania Lithium Project in Western Australia.
Following completion of the transaction, Liontown will have cash of $2.2 million plus its investment in Core with a current value of approximately $2 million. In addition, a further $1.5 million is payable in cash or Core shares (at Core’s election) upon the definition of a JORC compliant Mineral Resource exceeding 5 million tonnes within Liontown’s Bynoe tenure.
The shares issued to Liontown are subject to a 12-month voluntary escrow where Liontown may sell one third of the Consideration Shares four months after the date of issue and every four months thereafter. A block trade may also be made during the escrow period subject to the agreement of Core.
Liontown Managing Director, David Richards, said: “The successful completion of this sale puts us in a strong position to advance our lithium and vanadium projects in Australia, including a maiden drilling program at the very promising Buldania Lithium Project, which we acquired recently.
“As reported recently, initial rock chip sampling at Buldania has recorded values of up to 4.6% Li2O hosted by a spodumene-bearing pegmatite swarm that has been defined over an area of 1.5km x 0.7km. We are very excited by the potential of this project and we are looking forward to drilling it as soon as possible in the New Year.”
