The Jindalee Board is particularly pleased to welcome a number of leading institutions onto the register as part of the Placement

Placement
Jindalee Resources Limited ( ASX: JRL ) (the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to raise $9 million (before costs) via a Placement of 6,000,000 shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $1.50 per New Share to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors (the Placement ). Following the completion of the Placement, the Company will have a cash balance of approximately $10 million and circa A$2.2M in liquid assets.
Jindalee Chairman Justin Mannolini said: “ We are pleased to welcome a number of leading Australian institutions who have recognised the strategic value and potential of the McDermitt Lithium Project onto Jindalee’s register. This strongly supported and successful capital raising ensures that Jindalee is well funded to continue to develop the McDermitt project.
Our recent drilling has returned broad shallow lithium intercepts, both from within the existing Inferred Mineral Resource and from considerable distances outside of the existing Resource. These results have the potential to significantly increase the size of the existing Resource and convert much of the current Resource from Inferred to Indicated Status. We look forward to providing a resource upgrade in late March or early April with a potential scoping study to follow .”
