ASX: INF ANNOUNCEMENT

20 April 2020

Capital Raising to Advance the San José Lithium Project

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Placement to sophisticated investors to raise approximately $0.93 million

  • The capital raising is aligned and follows the recently announced strategic investment opportunity by EU-based InnoEnergy

  • The proposed InnoEnergy investment is initially focused on direct technical work with Phase 1 commitment totalling €800,000 (approximately $1.5 million)

  • Infinity is now benefiting from its sole focus on lithium and the wider support of European institutions in the advancement of San José

Infinity Lithium Corporation Limited (ASX:INF, ‘Infinity’, or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce the placement (‘Placement’) to sophisticated investors and the receipt of commitments to raise approximately $0.93 million to advance the San José Lithium Project (‘San José’, or ‘the Project’). Infinity had initially sought a lower amount and oversubscriptions were taken to ensure Infinity remains in a solid position and can work with InnoEnergy in advancing the San José Lithium Project.

The maximum number of new securities to be issued under the offer is 26,714,286 (‘Placement Shares’) and 13,357,143 unlisted options (‘Placement Options’) to raise $935,000 before costs. The issue price Placement Shares is $0.035 per share, with participants in the placement issued one (1) attaching unlisted option for every two (2) shares subscribed in the placement at an exercise price of A$0.07 with an 18-month term.

The funds raised under the Placement will be used to continue activities on the Project and for general working capital as the Company progresses towards the completion of the strategic investment execution with InnoEnergy. The potential strategic investment by InnoEnergy highlights the Company’s progression to engage with European institutions and the endorsement of the technical outcomes following the release of the successful Pre-Feasibility Study for the production of lithium hydroxide (refer to ASX announcement 22 August 2019). San José is a highly advanced lithium-tin deposit with near term production potential.
