GLOBAL LITHIUM COMMENCES TRADING

ON ASX

Key Highlights

  • Global Lithium Resources Limited is a Pilbara-focussed lithium explorer

  • Global Lithium today commences trading on ASX with the code “GL1” following a heavily oversubscribed Initial Public Offer ( IPO ) that raised $10 million (before costs)

  • The IPO has been supported by a strong mix of institutional investors, resource-focussed funds, sophisticated and retail investors

  • GL1 aims to become a leading Australian lithium company, focusing on the Marble Bar Lithium Project ( MBLP ) in Western Australia’s Pilbara region

  • MBLP’s Archer deposit has a declared JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 10.5Mt @ 1.0% Li2O[1]

Pilbara focussed lithium explorer, Global Lithium Resources Limited (ASX: GL1 , Global Lithium or the Company ) has commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) following completion of a heavily oversubscribed IPO which raised $10 million (before costs) through the issue of 50,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share.

Established in 2018, Global Lithium’s focus is the MBLP, an emerging lithium discovery located in the Pilbara, WA. The MBLP is approximately 180km southeast of Port Hedland near the town of Marble Bar.

Global Lithium has achieved significant exploration success to date through the discovery of the Archer lithium deposit and declared a maiden JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 10.5Mt @ 1.0% Li2O, following three successful RC drilling programs. Global Lithium’s primary focus after listing is to explore the MBLP and seek to grow the Archer deposit. The Directors are confident that further exploration will result in an increase in the size of the Archer deposit and that the remaining MBLP project area is also highly prospective for additional discoveries. In addition, the Company will consider acquisition opportunities or further tenement applications where the Company considers such opportunities are a strategic fit to its operations.

Commenting on the achievement, Global Lithium Chair, Mr Warrick Hazeldine said, “it is a proud and exciting day as we list as a publicly traded Australian company and we look forward to creating shareholder value through the successful exploration of our Marble Bar Lithium Project located in the globally renowned Pilbara region of Western Australia.”

1 Information on historical exploration results and Mineral Resources presented in this Announcement, together with JORC Table 1 information, is contained in the Independent Geologists Report within the Company’s Prospectus dated 22 March 2021, which was released as an announcement on 4 May 2021

“I wish to thank all parties involved in the formation of the company and completing this IPO, particularly Argonaut, our Financial Adviser and Lead Manager. I personally welcome all new shareholders to the register and I look forward to regularly updating the market on our exploration activities.”

“After two years of successful exploration activities, this is a great time to bring this investment opportunity to the market. It’s a great time to be in the lithium industry and Global Lithium is one of only a handful of opportunities for investors to gain exposure to lithium via the ASX.”
